    E lla headed back to the consulate, almost at a run. She knew what she had to do. It was as if the purpose of her life had finally revealed itself to her. She knew who she was for the first time. She was the bride of Shay Vishak, the Water Prince of Galaton. It didn't make any sense, and it was completely irrational, but Ella didn't care.
    For the first time in her life, she felt as if there was a real purpose and a true goal for her to achieve. When she arrived under the dome of the Draconian Consulate she was breathless and smiling.
    “Have you arrived at your decision?” Secretary Kim asked.
    “I have,” Ella said confidently. “I am going to my prince. I am going to Galaton.”
    “Very good. I knew you would come to the correct conclusion.”
    “Can I speak to him now?”
    “I'm afraid that will not be possible.”
    “When can I speak to him?”
    Ella knew what she needed to do, but she also wanted to speak to her prince more than anything she'd ever wanted in her life. She could feel the need for him pulsing inside her chest. Nothing had ever been so strong or so definite.
    He was her life and she only wanted to be with him. She didn't know why or how and none of it made sense, but Ella didn't care. She had spent her whole life doing things that made sense and what had that gotten her? She loved her job and her students, but she still felt empty and alone almost all of the time.
    Finally, she was going to do something that didn't make any sense, and she was proud of it. She couldn't help the deep need inside her to speak to Shay.
    “You will speak to him when the time is right, I am sure. It is at his discretion when that takes place. He risks madness every time he looks at your picture, let alone speaks to you. I understand that it is difficult for you, and I am sure that it is difficult for prince Shay as well. In the end, I am sure it will be worth it for both of you.”
    “What do I do now?” she asked. She knew she needed to call the school and let them know. She was going to profoundly miss her students and her school, but she knew she was doing the right thing. There was an understanding of what it meant to be matched to a Draconian, so she knew the school would understand.
    “Now, you will depart Earth for the bride ship Mercury Rising . Then you will be inseminated with your prince’s seed. ”
    “And it's really going to take a year to make it to Galaton?” she asked.
    “Yes. There will be a brief stopover at Draconia to deliver the other brides who have been matched with dragons from our home world. Then the Mercury Rising will continue on to Galaton.”
    “I'm going to go through the wormhole to the Draconian star system, right?”
    “That is correct. Now, we should begin the preparations.”
    “Can you contact my school and let them know I was matched? I just can’t do it. I’m all muddled and can’t face saying goodbye.”
    “Not a problem. Right this way.”
    The secretary escorted her through the Draconian Consulate and flicked his finger across a control panel that opened a sliding door into another room. There were banks of computers against one wall and holographic screens against another. Secretary Kim went to the holographic screens and began to input information. An empty wall slid open, revealing the inside of a space pod. There were rows of seats, empty and waiting for passengers.
    Secretary Kim instructed Ella to take a seat in one of the chairs and helped her strap on her harness. When she was safely secured, he went to the control panel at the helm of the space pod and input the necessary information that would take her into space and to the bride ship Mercury Rising .
    When he was finished, he turned to her and smiled. Placing his hand on his heart, he bowed slightly and looked up at her with a respectful expression on his face.
    “Congratulations, Ella Turner. And thank you from the people of Draconia and Galaton for
