The light from my body and now from the sacred portal spread so far that it was the size of a lake.

It took us a while to notice that it had also changed the space and time around us.

We now seemed to be above an ocean filled with stars and illuminated by the light of a whole galaxy, floating infinitely in the celestial night.

Then the symbols engraved on the door began to move and shift to form two great vessels on each door from two opposite horizons, floating on and on, accepting without remorse or regret the march of water and time.

They had to meet, it was written, revealed by all the stars that twinkled around us, at a precise place, a precise moment.
