Delenn had never planned to fall in love with someone not of her own race; she was sure the same was true of John. Their races had, after all, fought a bitter and bloody war hardly more than a decade ago, and John Sheridan had scored earth’s only real victory against the Minbari, destroying the Black Star by trickery. That was a cause of resentment among Delenn’s people.

 
Nevertheless, she had entered the chrysalis of her own free will, committed to trying to build a greater understanding between their two races, so that what had happened before, through a simple misunderstanding between two cultures, could never happen again. It had seemed a noble, even selfless, thing to attempt; if Minbari souls were truly being reborn into human bodies, perhaps the two races were not so different from each other as they believed.

 
She had not, however, taken into account how much the process would change her, not merely in appearance, but in more fundamental ways. She had found herself drawn to John more profoundly than she had ever experienced with a member of her own race.

 
Was it a mistake? Perhaps, but for good or ill, her heart had chosen.
