The Seeker
Lunar Eclipse's POV
I have never been to this place yet, but I already know that it is going to be an emotionally enhanced world. It is nothing like the Singing Planet I had made my home to before. Everything is so quiet, whereas back home, there was always noise and song. They all streamed together and formed something that was not only a song, but a bond we all shared. We were all one when we opened up our voices and sang, we all combined into a force so strong and unbreakable, you would not want to leave.
But sadly it was not the place for me. I had the feeling that I was not meant to be there, even though it was a perfect place to listen to gorgeous songs and and peaceful noises. The only thing was, you had no sight, you could not know what your home there looked like. You could not see others, only hear them, could not see what you eat, only find it using sonic sound. And there was never any light, only darkness. That was the worst part. Everything was black, with no light, no color, no vision at all. I did not like this, it made me feel like I was blind, that I was small and vulnerable.
So when I got the word that they were taking souls from here to another planet called Earth, I wondered. I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could have a better life there then the one I had here. So I asked why any creature would want to go there, and my bestest friend, Songs of the Night, Song for short, told me that they had sight! She even said that she would have loved to go there herself, but she loved the singing and songs from this place too much to leave it. That's when I agreed to come here and they offered me a female host.
Only, they had not told me that there was a catch to this. That I would face such horrible emotions, and worst of all, that my host was one of the Resistance. At first, I had not known what that was, and I thought maybe it is a different kind of breed of these creatures. But I was wrong, and I had awaken to find a Seeker arguing with my Healer. My Healer's name was Scorching Heat. He prefers to be called Scorch, and he reminds me so much of Song. All of the sudden I had felt a pang in my host's chest, a pain that I recognize as grief.
Wait, no! This is NOT my host's feeling. It is my feeling now! I open my eyes, and all I see is whiteness that gives me the other feeling of pain. I close them and yet I still see the painfully bright light through my eyelids. I lift my arms and shield them. From my experience in the Singing World, I have an advantage over sound so I hear better than those of others. But I have also a disadvantage from living in the dark for so long, my eyes amplify light. They are more sensitive so I cringe away from it. The noise of something underneath me crinkling, makes the Seeker and my Healer look in my direction.
"It is okay, we will not hurt you. How is your hearing and sight, and your feeling? Are you well?" My Healer asks with worry.
I lower my hands and arms, then I squint my eyes. The lashes on them filter the light so it is not as harsh as before. "I am fine Healer Scorch, but thank you for your dear concern." My eyes adjust and I can finally see without too much pain.
"May I ask what your name is?" He asks.
"Yes," but I pause. I try to remember what my old life was and it comes slowly back. "My last name was Lunar Eclipse, but most creatures in my last home called me Luna. I prefer that name as well, if you do not mind."
"Such a beautiful name. Was your last home from the Plant World or the Singing World? To me it sounds like both." He replies to me.
"I am from the singing world, but I think that now I might just stay here. It is such a beautiful place." I say. The room is white all over, the floors, the ceiling, the walls. But it is still a change from blackness that I do not mind. My healer is wearing what I remember as scrubs, a turquoise kind of clothing that covers from neck to the edge of the shoulder, to the ankle of the legs. He looks almost handsome in it, but I do not find him very appealing.
"I suppose now that you are fine, you are able to work?" Says the Seeker to my right. He is strange for a Seeker. I have not met very many Seekers in all my lives, but I know who they are and what they always look like. They are always silent unless they must say what they need to. So far he has been silent, the complete opposite of the inhabitants of my Singing World, so it startles me to hear his voice. He looks kind, but strong, like he will protect anyone from anything. It's just that, I do not know what he would need to protect people from. He wears a white shirt covered by a white padded vest. He also wears white jeans and the weirdest part is that he wears a black belt. It stands out so much, like a black snake in a land of whiteness.
"No, Seeker Thorns. She must get used to her host before she can do anything." Healer Scorch replied to the Seeker called Thorns.
"Of course Healer, I was just wondering. She can rest today, then we will ask her tomorrow." He sounded like he was disappointed to hear that information.
What do they wish to ask me? Who I was like on my planet? Who my friends were? Am I in trouble? Before I can ask any of these questions, the painful memory of my host's death hits me like a brick wall. I gasp out and the last thing I hear before I go under is Healer's voice. "She is seeing her host's last memory." And I am gone.
