----------------------------------------------

Aureole looked back over her shoulder.

What she was watching in her lens was familiar.

Since the beginning of the Exploding Planets she had been on the run; planet hopping and galaxy shifting as the known universe collapsed, imploded, and reorganized its forces.

Her last planet, azure green, was now shifting in orbit. About to bump into the saffron planet she had lived on before.

Coolly, she remembered her refugee homes, watching now as they are destined to collide.

The newest Exploding Planet streaming its cosmic pink plasma, fingerling threads, and tendrils of pure cosmic energy, now engulfing her past; was only the most recent explosion.

Aureole sighed, turned her head, and focused her steady eyes on a distant galaxy. Once again she was encouraged to continue her quest; to navigate the infinite star clusters in search of the First Big Bang.

Protected and wisened by her experience, she now understood the collisions of the universes were not the ending; just another beginning.

If this indeed was The Big Bang, then why did she so readily remember?

Aureole had been here before. To her there was nothing more familiar nor more frightening than setting out in the galaxy alone; timeless traveler, creating her own universes, staying one measured risk ahead of the next.

Smiling, she secretly hoped one former residence remained. The sixth planet, the Sun of the Night, Saturn. For there, she hoped to reach her ancient companion, one part grounded, the other spinning magical rings and orbs, for the survivor's celebration, Saturnalia.

Not in the least, because Saturns’ element is Earth. And she had loved there before.
