	Pa'gan couldn't believe it! SHE WAS ALIVE! And she was here. He
hurt, he felt the stitches in his leg rip open as he took off running but
he didn't care. Aradia was here and alive. 


	Now he held her in his arms once more. His blood racing and his
heart pounding he pulled her even closer and began to lower his head to
kiss her. Their lips met and once again there souls intertwined. 


	A euphoric feeling began to come over Pa'gan and he let the
feeling over take him as everything began to go dark. 


	Pa'gan dropped like a bag of old stones, landing in a pile at
Aradia's feet, unconscious. His leg was once again bleeding profusely. 


	The panther cub arrived at that moment and licked Pa'gan's face
and then looked up to Aradia mournfully and then looked back at the
approaching Trinale and Tanya.
