Truth Out Of Darkness
Chapter 29
He stood out on the balcony, looking up at the stars. Thousands of twinkling lights. Brady felt that there was a message for him in the sky, if he just looked hard enough. Everything seems so real, but it is not. It is a dream.
Brady stared intently at the sky, frustrated. There was something important he was supposed to see, something he was supposed to know. But all he saw were those same blinking lights.
"You're trying too hard." A soft, lilting voice laughed. "Just listen to the language of your soul." she said.
Brady closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He felt himself relax and opened his soul. He looked back at the stars, those twinkling lights. He soon realized that they were twinkling in rhythm. The stars slowly began to move in time to an unknown beat. Just when Brady realized that they were dancing, he heard the music they were dancing to. He immediately recognized the song, for it was a part of him, a song of his soul.
As he stood there, listening to the music of the night, his eyes focused on one part of the sky. He soon found he had telescopic vision. He zoomed in on two lone stars, each surrounded by a vast black region of empty space. Each alone in the void.
One star was a fiery red; the other a cool blue. Slowly, in time to the song, the two stars began to gravitate towards each other. They circled each other slowly. Fire and Ice.
The song swelled to a crescendo, building to a climax as the two stars danced closer and closer, drawn by gravity and an unnameable force until with a blinding flash they combined. Two becoming One for all eternity. The song ended.
Or, at least, that's how it should have been. Brady watched in horror, though, as the One star was split, torn apart into two incomplete halves. The halves thrown to the opposite ends of the universe. Doomed to spend eternity looking for their other half. Brady was amazed to find tears running down his cheeks. It was the story of his soul, looking for his lost soulmate.
His vision returned to normal and he looked again at the sky, at the millions of stars. They began to swirl together until they formed two separate circles of swirling blue. Brady looked into the luminous, sparkling, blue orbs and heard a voice in his head.
It was a voice he had known since before memory. The voice of his other half, his soulmate.
"Brady," Chloe's voice rang out.
"Brady, I need you. Please save me."
And then a piercing scream ripped his dream apart.
