The Tempest

I was lucky when Nexus went supernova, because I hadn’t lost Arboria too.  It started like a pin-point of light as our ship hovered at the edge of the heliosphere.  The brightness grew until it looked like a binary system.  Our tree was nothing in less than a fraction of a second along with the forest around it, reduced to atoms.  The moons were dashed away like motes of dust before a hurricane.  

And then it was gone.  

I stared as long as I could, long after my eyes hurt; the grief was worse than the damage the light did.  Aya engaged the ship’s shielding and gently closed my eyes with the tips of her fingers.  Then I felt her arms, warm and strong and reassuring.

My voice sounded like wet gravel when I finally spoke into the comm.  "This is Crym… on–… on the SS - Black Jabbit… Is… there anyone left out there…?“
