The End Of One
The serenity of the singing birds filled my silencing ears that roamed around the early dawn.
Each step taking its plunge into the unknown darkness that filled the gloomy eyes as the track that formed upfront only led to the always unforeseen demise. This was a new feeling, never once felt before away from the tranquility of home and the fear of society.
The honks of passing vehicles entered my eardrums as each step was interrupted by a sudden light with no visible vehicle to be seen as my legs crossed the streets. Everything seemed lost and gone, no signs of birds and vehicles, much less with the sound of the gusting wind to the trees that blew past.
Disdained memories circulated my blanked mind as the scenarios were only a blur of terrible scenes. Several with the sign of red, which projected in the countless injuries sustained in my heavy sole body. Was this sadness, or perhaps the feeling of fear to experience the same thing once more again.
I have no clue, my entire identity proved worthless as not a single droplet of memory seemed to keep me awake. Nothing to liberate me from the shackles of a cruel awaited fate that led to more calamity than a heaven.
Given up, that's what coursed through the mind of pure nothing. The tones of my voice echoed silently, a word that was vague and still unrecognizable to my memory. The silent whisper that led me on into each following step that jogged past a fragment of a memory that did not accept to lock on and record. Futility of acceptance along the path of a firm bridge that felt to be upon shattering.
The glimpse down, a dark nebula formed in the pits of the bottom of what would normally be a regular river. Attraction illuminated as my body bent over closely each second as the thrill intensified with my blood boiling and moving rapidly through my skin and bones. My eyes bulging into red and the voice rapidly filling in my mind and ears without a proper source.
'DIE!'
Lunged down to the stream as my breathing moved faster with the fall, as my back hit upon the streaming river. Water entered my nostrils and mouth leaving one unable to breathe a single piece of oxygen. My sight saw the light of white that came down from the sun reflecting the blue stream of water as it lit brighter the further I went down.
Bubbles came out from my mouth and nostrils each time releasing slower than the passing ones. The senses of my body dwindled greatly and the feeling of iron shackles formed within my arms stretched out as I fell into the pits of the river in the sign of a cross.
The memory unveiled itself, the only pleasant fragment to life that did not save my fall. A mother’s warmth of kindness in her own deathbed seeking only the best for her child.
'Live long....'
Silence submerged as the darkness of night grew in sight with the small fragment of an approaching light of white. My arms shackled in gravity as a cross that floated in midair. Uncomfortable in each way of view.
"A pitiful path, led by the dying corpse of a befallen mother of the devil. A curse of bad luck filled the paths of an honest life of purity but the final action of suicide is a sin, from the growing wrath within the now lifeless soul. Uncontrollable in all angles, therefore taken over locking away the advantages to keep moving on life. What is it that you had to obtain of the short life that you had lived this far on?"
A pure figure with white wings and a majestic form carried by a slender body of a believed angel. Either an angel or the opposite of one from the darkness that filled the surroundings.
"Cannot speak I see, I will see from the inside of your soul as your lips are shut silent. Their are a few options, be born new once more and lead the life you wish to unveil. Move to heaven and continue with your current form growing lifeless until you perish into nothing out of the sheer boredom that will grow. Or cease your existence and grow a part of the world without your control of any ideals."
Options of life and death. The afterlife, different from what was the usual told in different religions yet reincarnation is only believed by a few minimum. A source of life only believed to be by the god himself or even their own son.
"Born new, I see that you are not the type to cease yourself to things such as religions. You are one of many, although several others are believers of the former. The world will be on random, and your course in life will be the same. Grow in poverty or richness, it will all be left upon the luck that hides itself deep within your soul. I expect greatness from you. I, Uriel hereby name myself, guardian angel of thy child and grant them salvation into the unknowns, in my words I therefore bring this child into a new life under the laws of the universe, Benedictio!"
A white vibrant light grew in sight filling my body away breaking all senses from the body and liberating from the former. The signs of a tube began and I was the source that roamed through as each movement led into something unknown.
The dark field that shortly lit my eyes disappeared with the growing light that came as I was pulled out from the source of my awakening. A piece of cloth traveled throughout the body, cleansing away the liquid touch that engulfed the small figure as it approached my eyes clearing the remaining portions.
A large room revealed, indulging my sight with a strange structure of a wooden building with high class ornaments. The feeling of the place was not in any form modern and more leading into the old ages of undeveloped technology.
"....."
A foreign language not once heard back in the original life signified the truth into the angels words. This was a different world set into its own laws different from the former ones I grew to understand. A new world, so unfamiliar in every way.
".... Eydis?"
"......Eydis."
Not understanding the entirety of the language, but the ring of the name Eydis seemed understandable and perhaps the name placed upon these parents of mine who seemed high in class but vague in sight with no determination into how they looked.
"Eydis Argonaut."
