Meant to be together
Prologue

Jonathan Archer strolled aimlessly over the market place of an unknown planet far away from his home world. It reminded him strongly of the oriental bazaars he had visited with his uncle.

Around him were hundreds of people, dressed in multi-coloured clothes, talking in what seemed to be a dozen different languages.

Hoshi had managed to put the main dialects from this planet in the UT, but Jonathan had switched it off. He found it more interesting to listen to the unknown words, not knowing what they meant.

Suddenly something caught his eye. There, seemingly in the last corner of the market, sat an old woman. She wore a black dress, which was itself unusual, for the whole place seemed to be filled with colors. Her hair was long and white. She wore it open, so it fell down her back.

But it was her eyes that almost transfixed him, put him completely under her ban, draw him closer until he finally stood in front of her. Without even noticing, he slowly sank down to his knees.

Her gaze never left his all the while, and when he sat at her feet, she raised a trembling hand. Her fingers were ossified by a kind of arthritis, and her bones looked almost fragile. She lay her hand surprisingly gently on Jon�s heart, and murmured something in her foreign language.

For a second he simply stared at her; then he remembered the UT, but before he could switch it on, the old woman took his face in her hands, and intensified the stare. For what seemed an eternity they sat like that. Then she lowered her hand again to press it on his heart. And this time, when she whispered the words, Jon could understand each and every single one of them. Without his UT.

�You great pain.�

He felt his heart beat faster.

�What do you mean?�

For a second she pressed her hand a bit more firmly to his heart, and he gasped slightly.

�In there. Great pain. No joy. Love, but you afraid.�

Now goosebumps covered Jon�s whole body. This old woman had become eerie. He wanted to get up, but he couldn�t. His legs didn�t obey. And before he could say something, the old woman spoke again. She moved a little closer to Jonathan, and whispered.

�Let me show. Pain. Love. Understand. And find.�

She raised her left hand now, and gently, oh so gently, it came to rest on Jon�s neck. Suddenly a flood of pictures overwhelmed his senses. He felt like falling�falling in a deep swirl with no escape�
