She thought it was a hallucination – a flower field in the dead of Trabian winter, surrounding the enemy, taking them somewhere – until she noticed her companions had seen it, too. One cheered and clapped, while the other cursed and cowered in the snow.

"Wow, Selphie," the excited one said, "what was that?"

"I don't know," she replied, wincing as something stirred in her brain.

"How'd you do it? Can you do it again?"

She repeated herself, shaking her head, as much in answer to the question as to calm the creature inside her mind, her forbidden friend who did know.

She'd painted the sunsets, once. She'd created enchanting romantic evenings, tranquil morning skies, blazing orange solstices. Whatever the people asked of her, she delivered, with grace, with passion, with every color imaginable at her fingertips.

These colors filled her heart, and broke it; she instinctively knew they were not hers to touch, or control. Alien, unknowable – yet, somehow, deeply, achingly, familiar.
