Aron and Rick said simultaneously, "What is an Aborchrith?"
Nastar said, "Come, sit. I'll tell you the Legend of the Aborchrith."
The trio went to the table in the middle of the room. The High Scholar began, "The term Aborchrith means 'Brothers in Spirit' so in a manner of speaking you share the same soul."
"How is that possible?" Rick asked.
"Here I'll show you," Nastar said.
Nastar turned to a hologram of the galaxy. He hit a few keys on a pad and the image changed. Then he said in a voice that was wiser than his years, "Here is a hologram of the galaxy when Aron was born. Now tell me when and where you were born."
"June 14, 2551 on Alpha 1. Here are the coordinates," Rick said as he gave Nastar a holopad with the coordinates on it.
Nastar typed all the information in and the image on the hologram didn't change. Nastar looked at the image and with excitability growing in his elderly voice said, "This is why you are the Aborchrith. Your births were simultaneous. Sit, I'll finish the legend."
The trio sat and Nastar continued, "The Legend goes something like this… As the Aborchrith not only do you share the same soul but you are bringers of peace and tranquility. Therefore the Aborchrith will be born in a time of great turmoil. The unnecessary war between our races became a time of great turmoil for both races. The Aborchrith will be born at the same moment. One half the Aborchrith will be of twins. Aron has a twin sister. Rick with you being Human and the war the Prophets waged is why the Aborchrith was never found. Had the Scholars known we would have had the two of you raised together. However, you and Aron knew each other upon meeting. You found a way. You kept one another company as children." Nastar paused for a moment then called for a Grunt to bring them some refreshments. Upon taking a drink of water he continued, "To the next part of the Legend. The Aborchrith will know when the other is ill or hurt. When Aron was ill as a child you were too. Unfortunately if one dies you both will die. The Aborchrith can't live without being whole. That means Aron you can't live without Rick. This will explain why you unknowingly kept one another alive during the war. Your meeting was inevitable."
There was silence in the room when Nastar had finished. Aron and Rick looked at one another and then to Nastar. Both were in shock. They expected an explanation but nothing prepared them for this. Aron was the first to speak. He turned to Rick and said, "I have felt out of place all my life. This explains why."
Rick replied, "Yeah, I know what you mean."
Rick proceeded to show Nastar the sketches he had drawn of Aron over the years. Nastar rises from his seat and says, "This proves it.
