The Final Secret
RaajmdTMP

A/N: This is an introduction of sorts to a series of short stories I'm writing. I'm hoping to share my method of watching Pretender and some of my theories, maybe even tie up a few loose ends. So far, I have the following stories planned out:

A Reason for Introduction
All the Secrets
Windows to the Soul
Broken Father, Broken Brother
Cain and Abel

All titles are tentative and are subject to change. The order in which you read the stories, when they are posted, does not matter. I'm hoping to write much more than five, but only time will tell. So, welcome to………

The Final Secret

You think you know what's going on
You've watched for years
Think you've got it all

Stop and think
What have you missed?
You've seen the scrolls,
Heard the prophecy
What does it mean?

Don't take the easy way
Use your mind
It wasn't for nothing
It was planned for years

The Parker brothers pulled
The wool over our eyes
And over those
Of the rule of three,
The ones who really decide
The fate of those in this little odyssey

No matter how it's viewed
The Centre of Truth was built on a lie

What else has been hidden,
Just out of sight?
Trust me, there's more
For years we've looked but didn't see

He runs, she chases
As it's always been
But just how far
Is she supposed to go,
If he's got to be free
To find the scrolls?

If they want him back,
Why put Parker in charge?
She couldn't bring him in
Anymore than she could find the scrolls alone

They provoked him into leaving
Now why would they do that?

I have a revelation
One to change their world
It's not the final secret,
Only the biggest lie

Perhaps it fills the space
Of a missing piece,
Not the final one by far,
But maybe the most important

All I'm asking you to do
Is take another look
And keep an open mind
Don't let the path of truth
Be obscured by all the lies
Don't take the Parkers' word
For all that we've been given
Don't fall for the same twisted tale
They've spun for all their prisoners

Come and walk a while with me
Down a trail I've yet seen traveled
Come follow the circle
And remember what the Chosen was told:
"You can't have a dead end
Without a road."
