A New Life In The Making
Light as air, the being floated through time and space. Unable to identify itself or anything in its surroundings the being seemed to be unworried of where it was going. Unable to feel its warmth it floated passed the sun. It looked at the planet in a mild form of fascination and admiration.
It flew on to the next planets that would cross its path. A watery planet before it. The being stared at its reflection in the planet's surface. It realised that it had no body, but it seemed to have a future form.
It realised that it was a spirit. A cry came from within the universe. Something seemed to be calling out to it. The spirit felt a desire to go to the cry and so it continued its journey across the universe.
It passed another planet and hovered there for a while. But it seemed that the cry had called from another planet. Still it stayed to look with fascination at how the planet seemed to move. The planet was quite feminine and kept it under its spell. But the cry sounded once again and so the spirit moved on.
It came to a strange planet that looked completely different from the other three it had seen. The planet seemed to be glowing with warmth and energy. A shield covered the planet but the spirit easily passed through it.
The cry was sounding much stronger now that it had found the right planet. The spirit landed on top of the planet. White stuff was covering its surface. Something blew white little flocks everywhere, but since it couldn't feel anything, cold water did nothing to it. A white beast arose suddenly from its hiding place. It sniffed at the spirit and stared into its eyes. Finally it whined and shook its head. It turned and threw itself in the water.
The spirit stared as the white beast swam away from him and decided to find what it was looking for, elsewhere. So it floated through the sky and was accompanied with white and brown creatures. These creatures looked nothing like the one it had seen before. They had wings and feathers and seemed to ride the wind. Part of the being found it all amazing and strange and another part seemed strangely calm and accepted it all.
The spirit focused itself downwards. The water reflected its existence, but there were creatures in the water too. This seemed to confuse it a little. How could anything live it there? But then again, it had lived out in space.
The spirit focused its being forwards. It reached land again, but this time it seemed different. There were no white little crystals. Only huge rocks that seemed to reach the skies. Greens and browns covered its grounds and sometimes there were even long grey stripes visible from where it flew.
The further the spirit flew, the more grey boxes appeared and smoke arose. The spirit felt confusion running through its being as it saw more and more of the same creatures appear everywhere. These creatures walked on two legs and seemed to be carrying their souls along with them, instead of carrying it within them.
Some seemed to glow, others seemed to leak and others were humming with power. They moved themselves in metal boxes and seemed to rush everywhere. The little creatures seemed to stop and stare every once in awhile, but the bigger ones pushed them forward or pushed them away. The cities were filled with different smells.
When the spirit flew once again over the water, it noticed that its shape had changed. It seemed to have taken the shape of the creatures it had seen last time. It was still transparent, but it could see the form of its new body.
……………………………………………………
After a much longer time, it reached land once more. The cry had sounded once again to tell him that he was getting closer. After studying its body closely, the spirit had decided that it would be a boy indeed.
When he reached land the spirit changed directions. It was no longer surprised to see the tall creatures that seemed to walk this planet. Even on the big water it had seen the creatures on metal object. They were taking the sea creatures out of their homes or simply crossing the water to journey to the other side.
When the biggest metal object had come rushing towards him in the air, the spirit had ducked in fright. How the creatures had build such a thing was beyond him, but they seemed to be using it for travel like they had done with the other metal things on the water.
The cry became louder and louder and the spirit knew that he was reaching its goal. The spirit looked at its surroundings carefully, knowing that it would probably never see it again like he could see it now when it reached its destination.
When a white light entered his vision the spirit knew it had reached its goal. The sight that greeted him, however, was different then it had thought it would be. The light was very big and had a golden lining that seemed to attract other too. A young man and a baby where lying in the middle of it all.
When the spirit entered the light, a soul contacted his being. "Have you come?" it asked.
"Yes," the spirit answered staring into the bright light. "I have come."
"And do you accept?"
"Yes," the spirit said once again. "I accept."
"What is your name?"
"My name is what my caretakers decide."
The soul hummed in acceptance. "What was your name?"
"Tom Marvolo Riddle."
The light exploded and the soul absorbed the spirit. The light entered the baby and the child came alive, crying.
A/N: I know it's short but I guess you all understand what happened. Hate it, love it, accept it. R&R.
