It started out as a walk to clear my head but I wound up around the ruins that I once called my home. A tear slid down my cheek and I brushed it away and tried to stop any others that would come.
"Are you there?" A male voice said in my head."I am here." I said dully.
"What's on your mind?" the voice asked.
"Right now you." I said even though it was a lie.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked.
"Positive!" I said a little high pitch."Liar!" the voice said teasingly.
"Well if you're so sure that I'm lying than what am I thinking about?" I said."You are trying to avoid thinking about how you had to bring the destruction of your home and to your planet when it was for their own safety." the voice said gently.
"Why do you have to know me to well!?" I said.
"Because I am the only one who you can talk to unless you would like to talk to the plants and the animals." the voice said.
"I wish I could see you." I said I found that I could hear a longingness in my voice it was the first time I felt longing in years and it half frightened me half reassured me that I was still myself.
"I can see you but I wish you could see me." the voice said with the same longingness in his voice."How much can you see of me?" I asked.
"I can only see your face." the voice replied.
"I wish I could see your face it is not fair!" I said.
Then my mind went over what I just said "I can see your face." If he can see my face then his strength must indeed be returning. So there really is hope after all!
"Much of life is not fair." the voice said.
"Are you sure that together once you gather your full strength? Are you sure that you can find me to teach me all of your magic? Are you sure that together we will be strong enough to kill the thing that forced me to destroy my planet and its people? Are you sure that together we will be able to kill the thing that made you destroy your planet and its people? Are you sure then after we kill that thing that the people will return and all shall be as it was before?" I asked.
"To all these questions my answer is yes." the voice said. "But we will need more power."
"How?" I asked.
"I'm not sure." the voice said.
"One last question." I said.
"I highly doubt that but shoot." the voice said.
"Why won't you tell me your name? I don't like to call you by the voice." I said.
The voice was silent for a few minutes. While he was contemplating his answer I sat down in the grass cross-legged and closed my eyes.
I then started floating and chanted to myself.
"The same reason you do not tell me yours." the voice finally said.
I frowned and opened my eyes.
"You know that even I do not know why I won't tell you my name!" I said.
"Exactly." the voice said.
"You do not know yourself then." I said closing my eyes.
"Your right. But I do know one very beautiful person who knows me better than myself." the voice said.
And who is that?!" I said my eyes opened and they flashed in anger as they narrowed.
Great! Now I'm feeling jealously! What next LOVE!
"You." the voice said.
"Oh." I said blushing and looking at the ground. That was a lame thing to say! Oh. Honestly I can think of something better than that!
"I think that once we bring back the people we lost then you might no think me so beautiful." I said and I silently fumed at myself for speaking my thoughts out loud.
"Don't be too sure about that. I remember all of the people I used to see on my planet. None of them are as beautiful as you." the voice said.
"Don't be too sure about that! I am earthen skinned as you can see by my face. I have black hair and black eyes. Just wait till you see the white skinned and blond haired and blue eyed girls then you will forget all about me." I said.
"That's not true!" the voice said.It was as if he was right in front of me yelling in my face and gripping my hand tightly. I drew back with a look of fear on my face. Wait a minute! Fear! I just felt fear. That can't be I'm emotionless. I became so I would feel no pain or sorrow. But he's making me feel fear!
I jumped up and my hands closed in fists and a look of determination, fear, and anger on my face.
"Traitor!" I yelled.
"I am not a traitor!" the voice said angrily.
"You swore that you would never make me feel my feelings again. It's to painful. You liar! I HATE you!" with that tears stung my eyes and started to slide down my cheek. I shook them away and ran of into the woods.
"You can't get away from me." the voice said in a mocking tone.Then I stopped an idea was forming in my head.
"Don't you dare do that! That will put you in so much danger!" the voice said. Fear mixed with outrage.
I smiled like a Siamese cat with a look of fire in my eyes.
"You wouldn't!" the voice said."Try me!" I said the look of fire in my eyes grew stronger.
"Don't!" the voice yelled but it was too late.
"Blake! Come to me I need you." I yelled out loud.
There was a swirl of black fire and Blake appeared!
