title: A Healing Touch
author: Williams, Brenda
description: The last thing Kaedan remembered was being attacked in his portal with his wife Maleah. Now he wakes up to find that they have been held captive for their power for years. But Maleah is dead and he must live eternity alone. How can he do this, when everything reminds him of her? Hurt and lonely, Kaedan leaves Atlantis and returns to the world. He would do his duty. He will protect the world and guard Atlantis by himself. While trying to drown his woes in alcohol, Kaedan hears her call for help. Should he leave her? Let someone else help her out? Kaedan decides; maybe this is the distraction that he needs. It could take his mind off of his desolate life. He teleports to the screaming girl and sees her partially naked body fleeing into the woods. He turns just in time to see her pursuer charging towards him. Yes! A good fight is just what he needs to burn off some energy. This call would change his life forever, because she would be his Healing Touch.
