The Relentless shot through Ares’ atmosphere, straight through a raging skytear. The swirling vortex of lighting and sand completely clouded the viewscreen. The ship rocked back and forth violently. Hiytax crashed into Aliorah after the first onset of turbulence, sending them both rolling off the bed in his quarters. Aliorah landed on top of Hiytax as the rumbling and shaking continued. She smiled nervously at him. Their faces were still only inches away from each other.
Another skytear slammed into the ship, Hiytax rolled himself over atop Aliorah, in an attempt to shield her with his body. The violent shaking stopped for a moment, and the pair both blushed while looking at one another.
“Ali… I,” Hiytax stroked the side of her face, but then another impact on the exterior of the ship finally shook the two of them from their bliss, “Umm… maybe…” Hiytax looked at Aliorah with concern.
Her hair suddenly flashed back to being blood-red, “Yeah… yeah, some other time.”
