[quote]Tessa looked longingly at her lover’s prone body. Ophelia’s skin was pale, the lips ashen. They would remain so as long as the suns shined. At night, however, Ophelia would rise, and join the roaming undead in search of sustenance. Tessa couldn’t bear the thought.
The stake in her hand felt heavy, cold. Tessa had sharpened it to a fine point. It would enter easily, but driving it through would require all her strength. She raised the stake high above her head with both hands, and whispered “goodbye” as she looked one last time on Ophelia’s face.
And then… she stopped. She couldn’t bring herself to do it. There had to be another way.

For as long as there has been recorded history, people have wondered what was lay at the end of the rainbow. Would it be a vast treasure? A heavenly realm? Or something else?
