Prologue
This one can not come.
I shall forever remember those words…spoken by the Angel at the Gates of Heaven. The words that sent me spiraling back down, so far down that I felt the fires of Hell. Yet the devil saw me and at once backed away.
This one can not come.
And I was jerked up again, by some force that nearly tore my soul in two. And I hung in limbo, across from a girl with hair like snow. She smiled at me and said softly, 'You can not come to any place Beyond, dear one. You were not meant to leave so abruptly. Your time on Earth was cut short accidentally. By choosing to go back for your brothers, you broke a wall that we had thought impenetrable. You rewrote the future. And now you must change it once more,' her eyes were silver, like the stars I had once gazed upon, 'Johan,' she extended a hand, 'You shall not be accepted here, dear one. You must return to Earth to complete the road that was laid before you.' 'What about my brothers!?' I demanded, 'Wolfgang, Moz! Where are they?' 'They are in Heaven, and will await you there,' she smiled, 'But you can not go there yet. You must return as I said, to the world you once cherished. Time has passed, people have changed. Rewrite their lives, Johan. YOU can change the world.' 'But why me!?' I cried, 'I'm the youngest, the weakest, the one who always leaned on everyone else!' She shook her head, 'You were the one that held everyone together. As you must do now. Follow your heart,' she took my hand and spun me around, 'Go now, dear Johan. Fly to Earth on your single wing-the wing you shall ever wear in memory of where you will one day travel!'
And then I was falling once more, the stars were blurring around me….
And then all went dark…
