Never Again

On her eightieth birthday, Clara climbs a mountain to a remote place she loves and is struck by lightning. Just as her life slips away she is rescued by immortal beings from the faraway planet of Eliria. They carry her to their ship and heal her, not only of the effects of lightning, but also of all the ravages of aging.
