Chapter 23:

Choice

Light through my window


We've been cornered, leaning against the wall. We looked at them so called higher beings, those who was called monsters by some peoples, and some who though about them as a god. They looked at us, without even having eyes, they screamed at us without even having mouth, they listen to us without hearing us and they felt something, without having heart.

They stayed at the place, in from of us, sometimes twitching. When we looked at them, this irrational fear disappeared and I understand that it was their fear.

"They are... scared of us?"- Aurelia looked at them without blinking:

"It's... kids!"- I looked at them and it truly was kids. They did not seemed like ones, but they certainly felt like small children. And she slowly turned around with pain oh her face:

"Yo...What...What we gonna do... We should not do anything to them."-She said with tears started to form in her eyes:

"He was right about us... We are selfish and cruel... Up to scale of killing... But how... how...'- I stopped her seeing that one more word and she will break. She always was so strong, but even she has her limits. I kissed her and I looked into her deep blue eyes:

"Do you believe in me? I'll figure it out."- I turned to them, and it seemed like they understand us. I sheathed the sword and put it down, removed artifacts and come closer to them, they did not move. I reached out with my hand and they started to avoid it at first, but then they formed one hand and touched my. And I felt sudden pain from it, but I needed to tolerate that, it was strongly destructive and the only thing that kept me from falling apart was blood magic and my duty. Duty to protect Aurelia, duty to bring freedom to everyone who believed in us, and my desire to keep happily living with Aurelia. Sudden kid's voice appeared:

"Are you... Are you here... To save me?..."- I looked at Aurelia and read on her face, that we must save this kid. And it was surprising that it was just one kid. I asked him:

"How can we save you, and from what?"- Tolerating pain, I looked at him again.

"Me...Me always... was... alone..."-I asked him another question:

"Did you created our world, to not be lonely?"- I felt that my arm burned.

"Yes...It was world...and... when I saw...how happy I could be in...their...your place...I decided...That no one would...Be...Happy..."-Those were very scary words, sending chills to my bones. Child continue:

"I...Never though...That...Help...Me..."- It was hard to understand its broken speech.

"So how we can help you?"- Asked Aurelia from behind.

"You... Must...Forever...Stay with...me..."-Many arms began to grow out of it and they all began to move towards Aurelia, but I blocked their way, staying right in front of them and they touched me. I felt that I almost lost my mind from the pain. I wanted to scream in agony, but kept it in myself, twitching for a second. And Aurelia noticed it and looked worried:

"What's happening?"-She asked with fear in your eyes. I turned my face to her and smiled:

"Believe in me, everything gonna be alright."- I looked back at him and started conversation again:

"So you felt loneliness and envy, the unfairness. And you was always alone. I can understand you."- Calmly uttered I. He looked at me without having eyes:

"Really? But how... someone... who is not... alone... know... what loneliness... is..."- He was confused.

"You said that you would like to be in my place, You can see memories of every life being in your universe, right?"

"Right..."

"So take it, if you want it, take my memories and feelings."- Aurelia gasped and rushed to me, but I stopped her with gesture of hand.

"I'm... gonna...be...so...happy...and...not...alone...anymore..."- He reached out one hand to my head and I felt, that I couldn't hold back scream this time, but I had to keep my mind in tact. And we started to going back, in the very beginning. To the very first live.

You should feel and know it yourself. How tough live is. You never had it and I am ready to give it to you. To let you see, how cruel it is to lost something you had. To what you did, created  conspiracy, played with feelings of this little humans, you left them without any choice. To see how hurtful is, to lose someone you loved and knowing that it just some sort of plot, created by supreme being and the only thing that you can do is surrender to the fate. But we are not that at all. Beyond grief, suffering, pain and loss. I will show you second part of life, they are equally important and you should not completely fall into one of them. Because, we are complicated species. Other part have such feelings as hope, love, happiness, true friendship, trust. All the bonds , we have, they bind us with other life forms and sharing it with someone close is the most precious treasure ever. Seeing how close to you peoples is happy. And you might not see or not have them right now, not all was born with them, but you definitely could find them in the future, if you keep fighting for it. So please, see it, feel it. Take my memories! Take my feelings! It's most important thing that I have in my live...

You can be anyone in your story! As everyone should be able to choice. Don't burn it! Don't loose yourself in dark feelings! And don't try to lie to yourself. It's not gonna be easier if everyone else would suffer. Your live worth fighting! And your happiness invaluable! So keep living and learn how to have fun!

And I felt, how everything stopped. I saw a little kid sitting and crying , I slowly  waddle to him and hugged him...

"Everything gonna... be fine...You should choose the path, that is right...After seeing every...thing..."-My mind started to blur , I heard that Aurelia screamed from back, and I felt that I lost something really important to me.

"I...want to sleep."- My eyes started to close, my mouth is dry, and I hear melody in my ears... That one particular melody, that we both created in our hearts, and loved it with all our soul... 

"It's so warm here."- I saw how Aurelia tried to do something to me and was panicking and crying:

"Everyt.hing is... fine, it's so peaceful ...here."- I touched her mouth and my hand fall, hitting the cold floor...
