ON:

Something shook violently forcing him forward. Jon got his footing back and found himself looking out a window .... except it wasn't the window to his quarters.

Outside was fire, a lot of fire and putrid smoke. He opened up his senses and was assaulted with full on panic. His eyes forced upwards to the sky. An alien sky with 3 moons. Were they moons? He wasn't sure, something seemed off.

Outside the room he could hear screaming and shouting. "They come they come ...... by Goddesses power ...... they are here to end us.

He looked behind him and saw a door and exited the room to a path, that was burning. He raised an arm and attempted to shield his eyes. There were others. They looked like females further up the path. He struggled forward amongst the smoke as someone became clearer. A stunning brunnete stood her arms folded looking angry.

"We have to get out of here," Jon said trying to reach her struggling against the thick sulfur that clogged the air.

"No the time has come ....." she said cryptically ...... before disappearing

Jon carried on reaching a blond woman .....

"To cleanse you ...... burn in the great fire ....."

"You already did this," Jon spat out realising it was the goddeses .... "We already attoned .."

She disappeared.

He carried on seeing something move in the distance ...

The red headed goddess laughed at him

"You will never attone ...... so we let them come ....."

She disappeared before Jon could say anything further. He looked up into the sky again to see something dark but shimmery. It sensed malevolent, old and angry and it was coming closer. Lots of them were coming closer.

"Gaia," he yelled as the other 3 had apparently abandoned him. "Gaia .... save us from this .... don't do this again ....."

The old woman appear and snarled, "Why should I save you? You are all a disappointment ...."

She laughed at him and just carried on laughing louder and louder.

Jon felt himself get so angry. How could the "mother", their mother not help .....

"Then I hope you burn too where ever you goddesses go," he snarled at her reaching out to push her into the fire .....

Suddenly a voice came from all around, "Captain are you alright?"

The smoke, the dark shimmering things, the sky and ground. Everything just seemed to melt away and Jon found himself down the cooridor from his quarters face to face with Amelia Fox who he was almost pushing up against the wall .....
