The energy released its hold from his hand upon her heart when he spoke. She felt it fade as the words left his lips. She smiled looking into his eyes and allowed herself to be swept away in his gaze. She felt pain in her chest though it didn't really hurt. It felt like her heart was made whole. Her breath returned as she softly spoke the words outloud to him "My love, my soulmate!"

Taran could have jumped for joy, but he merely laid back down, a large smile on his face. Pulling her towards him, he lay there in the rising sun, knowing where he was supposed to be.

Aethelwyne revelled in the moment. She felt at peace. Content. Whole. She lay next to him and couldn't contain the happiness inside her. She smiled releasing the fullness of her joy. She placed her hand to her heart wanting to make sure it was really beating and she was really alive, not dreaming. As she touched the skin she felt something over her heart. It was warm and slightly raised. She sat up puzzled and rose to walk over to the pool. Bending over her reflection in the water, she pulled her shirt down to expose the area around her heart. She gasped outloud as she saw a small, silvery-teal dragon swirl like a tatoo upon her chest reflected upon the water's surface. She quickly released her shirt putting her hand over it. 'What is this?'

Taran looked worried as Aethelwyne went to the pool, a puzzled expression on her face.
"What is it?" he called after her. Rising, he took a few small steps towards her, though he still kept his distance.

She turned and looked at him, her hand still covered her chest. "I don't know. I can't...I've never seen...I have no... Oh your just going to have to look." Her face continued with a puzzled look.

Taran wondered why she covered her heart. Blushing when she told him to look, he walked over to her. Placing a hand on her shoulder, he looked into her eyes.
"What is it? Has something happened? Are you okay?"

"Taran I don't know." She glanced down to her chest. Pulling her shirt aside so he could see. "Look."

Taran blushed as she pulled her shirt away, but the thoughts quickly changed. A puzzled and alarmed look came across his face. He reached down, feeling the mark by her heart. Pulling her shirt back up, he began to walk around, thinking, feeling the mark on his own chest.
"How could this happen?" he thought aloud. "I've never heard of this happening."

Aethelwyne contacted Doc and spoke to him so Taran could hear. "Doc I know you saw and heard everything. Do you have any idea what this is?"
Edoc'sil spoke in a calm tone touching them all including Arduthil, "Adurthil gave the Rider Taran a very special insignia. You showed him how to channel the moon magic. Aethelwyne... You vowed your heart to him in the ancient language."
Looking at Taran she asked him, "Do you understand any of what he says? I understand I vowed my heart to you in the ancient language, but the rest?"

Taran looked at Adurthil closely, standing over him. 'How, Adurthil?" The dragon simply looked at him, smiling if dragons could smile.
'Very simply, my rider. I knew about your encounter with the moon's power, knew that it still rested within you. If I had not done what I did, you would have been overcome by it every night. Now, you can harness the magic, turning its danger into aid. As for Athelwyne, Edoc'sil said it.' Taran looked at Aethelwyne, a smile on his own face...and tears in his eyes.

She looked at him with tears in her own eyes. "I would gladly wear your mark upon me for all eternity my love. She started toward him.

Taran walked to her, bringing her into his arms.
"And I would gladly wear yours, my love," he said, taking her hand, and placing over his heart. "Though no one could see it."

She looked tenderly at him and moved closer. One hand on his heart, the other she slipped around his waist. She raised her face and spoke softly but intensely to him. "I do love you."

Taran looked down at her, his arms around her waist.
"And I love you," he spoke softly to her. "My heart feels your love, Aethelwyne, and is strengthened by it."

"I feel I am not worthy of your love but I take it just the same for I do not think I could live without it." She raised her face to him, longing in her eyes.
