Prologue: The Return

 

In a place unknown and untouched by humans, there was nothing, then there was light. A light created of several lights, each light a different color. Each light ranging differently on the spectrum, from vivid blue to dark gray, pink to green. Yet each light seemed to possess a life of its own. One of the brighter lights approached a sea-green blue light, which hovered by itself.

Its time to go back now. A sense of urgency was radiated from the white-gold light.

Like a battle-worn veteran, the sea-green light was ready to leave. You know, when I first got here, I wanted to go home. Now, it paused, I’m not sure.  It fluctuated with confusion and despair.

If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. It’s up to you.  The white-gold light silently hoped that the other would go, but said nothing.

The sea-green light thought about it briefly, fluctuating its color. I have a lot to do there, don’t I?  It paused as if pursuing a train of thought. Then it solidified determinedly.  I’m going, there’s too much unsaid between us. Do I have time to say goodbye to them?  Seeing the other’s light darken, it sighed. Very well, lets go. Will I be able to come back?

Of course, just have faith in yourself and in Him. The white light reassured the other, then  concentrated briefly.

The sea-green light briefly fluctuated to a pure green. I’m ready, just tell the others good-bye for me.

The white-gold light acknowledged the remark, than began the Cleansing.

The green blue light darkened, then became black, then a kaleidoscope of colors. Slowly the sea-green light was cleansed of its calm light. Only a creamy white color remained, but tingles of sea-green still crackled through the white. The white-gold light was pleased that not all traces of green were erased and Sent up a message of affirmation. The light disappeared, leaving the white light alone. Then a blue white light came to float next to the white-gold one.

I hope you know what you are doing. What if you are wrong? The blue light radiated calm and anxiety at the same time. A sadness also fluctuated through the blue aura.

What choice do we have? He couldn’t stay, not with so much undone and unfinished. Its better to get things out of the way. The white light sighed. I know you care about your brother, but he wanted to go back.  All we can do is pray and wait. You can join him if you want to.

The blue-white light acknowledged the other light and floated away. Several thoughts ran through its mind and its color changed to sky blue, than to violet blue. Finally the blue-white color stabilized and the light made up its mind. Good luck, Louis. Wait up for me. It whispered and disappeared in flash of light.
