Love and War

[corps_of_love]

Queen Aga'po of the Zamarons strides out to look into the violet light pouring out from the central battery. Deep in the center, two crystallized skeletons embrace each other tenderly, their love, even in death, resonating within the crystals around them and filling the central battery with the violet light that will heal the universe

The 'She' they were expecting is not precisely the one they will get, and she is not alone.

Henry's weight is warm in her arms throughout the flight. She tells him again that they are just checking on the vision the ring gave her to make sure Hal was all right, but she didn't believe it. Her luck never falls into place so easily. She knew somewhere he was in trouble and that he would never ask her for help.

It doesn't seem long before she's approaching the Zamaron homeworld. The power inside her is jubilant. She's coming home, and Home is welcoming her back.

She can sense the light from the central battery. She can sense its power... and its warm love.

As Carol approaches, one Zamaron steps out to speak with her.

"Carol Ferris of Earth. I am Queen Aga'po of Zamaron. I welcome you with love in our hearts."

She is still Carol Ferris. She didn't lose herself in the ring this time. She nods as she puts Henry down next to her, keeping hold of his hand.

"Please tell me, are the Green Lanterns in battle now?"

"The opening salvos for the foretold War of Light have begun," the Queen explains. "But they will survive these skirmishes. For what is to come, only love can heal the universe."
