Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The star laden path called home

As blue breathe out to the red what had been left for them, he breathe out along a petal from his heart. Their souls were born of that from the core of the magical flowers by the river of life in shapes of petals that matches each others heart but by a difference of time that denotes years in the world we are in.

The blue stayed by the red in that moment waiting for the red to recover back to his earthly body, still traumatise by the sight of this. He was whisked away by the guardian angels before he woke up again from this dream.

The blue ran to the elders after waking up - shaken by his dream where the elders had to calm this young soul putting him back to sleep removing this dream that he saw.

And as the red return, recovered from this journey and ordeal, they were both seen again like couple in this mystical place, sacred forest that hold much memories for them as they roam the night with glowing flowers surrounding them.

"Were you afraid when you were sent down there?" The blue asked the red which he said "Yes initially but it's our mission and I wanted to come back as soon as I can help impart some of my knowledge to them"

"I was waiting for you to come back" the blue said

"I know... when I look up at the moon I can hear your prayers, the elders told me you could sense my presence and well being when I was away" the red explained

"I... do in my dreams sometimes" the blue explained

They walk quietly by the stream again, peaceful together. Today the night flowers will bloom again. They waited to watch the sight of this beautiful scenery and as the time comes as usual, the wise elderly soul appear visiting them again greeting them with love "my children how have you been...? Has the elders been kind to you? Red you have suffer much but this is your path that we have laden for you and blue you must have grown strong from watching red from a distance" the old soul called out calmly

"Good evening wise one, we are humbled at your presence, how is it that you are here every time the night flowers bloom?" The red one ask. The old soul appear translucent as always against the night flowers with such fragrant scent when it appear among the magical flowers ... it appears from within the heart of the flower and stayed until the flowers wither and dies just for that short moment. Dressed in a white translucent robe, the old wise soul spoke with such grace and love that it seems as though it was the creator of this place.

"It is my last visit to both of you... as after this you would be capable enough to look out for one another, the mystical origins of our time here is unimaginable." The old soul turn and look at the blue "your love is written through the history of time even I cannot erase it, live your path my child, trust your heart" and then the old wise soul turn to the red and smile "you will gather strength and wisdom and lead the way, you will see and understand purity in your soul and simpleness in your thoughts will shine through even the darkest time". The old soul held out something on its palm and open it. Little light bulb and fireflies that dance around them. The old soul puts its hand on the red shoulder "be brave my child and follow your heart"

"If the path cuts too deep, the sealed amulet will heal you over time, you are both born with a fate that is tied from the beginning. But if it needs to be removed, asked of it from each other. Otherwise fate will continue to be intertwine. It will continue to test your faith to the edge until such that you are back here again.... these lights will guide you back here" and in that the wise man smile and vanish.

Both the red and blue looked at each other and tried to decipher such deep meaning that was left to them. And a passing guardian angel stood next to them and said "the next journey has been lined up, looking at the red - you are to descend again by the next full moon, as she said that she turn to the blue and said you are to be on this quest as well"

And in that, their lives and time on earth started to repeat, each chapters seems to not have an ending that they had wanted but trials and tribulations that continued to test their faith and fate as they strive to live them to the fullest only to crave to come back home to this little mystical land and sacred forest where it all started. At times just gazing at the stars and moon missing this place where everything was peaceful, calm and lovely with just them roaming freely through the magical forest that they live in.

And in their walk in each chapter, there were certain behaviour that carries their past memories into their current way of living moulding their character through time as they wait out till the day the can find the path back home again. And as each chapter unfolds and ends, it haunts them at times as dreams of the pasts, which were once the lives they had lived in as they moved on to another.

They were prince and royal body guards from past dynasties, couples in another century old epic, lovers that had to part, and many more episodes where each of them would end up suffering either the loss of another or a mere almost happy ending that did not last for long.

Each experience had them suffer pain, hurt, agony that at times it cuts too deep shaking them up as the place they originated from, love comes across as peaceful and magical. These feelings made them stronger over time and the blue as predicated had developed such head strong character protecting his love for red, it had not waver from his love conviction since the beginning of time for red. And the red over time saw through the blue and as predicted the knot that was put in place by the old wise man grew stronger as they live through each tribulations that was put forth. And the question of why must they be subjected to such cruelty is left for them to uncover through time.

As they prepare for their maiden quest down together, red and blue took a walk by the nearby stream where the river flows through a waterfall. Red spoke his heart out that night to set his expectations for blue making sure he conveyed his message before the descend the next day.

"You know .... the life down there won't be an easy one, we can't say or do things as we wish, love is calm and serene here but down there it is painful and chaotic. I need you to be careful and take care of yourself as first priority. Don't act rashly especially for me as it will hurt you back ... I need you to agree. I miss you when I was away hence I want to always have you by my side when we travel down there, don't let anything happen to you that we can't control, so that we have to be separated again once coming back here at different times"

"Ti... are you listening?" Red asked again as blue looked entrenched in his own thoughts.

"Do you think we will be acquainted to each other down there? We should ask that they arrange it in such way so that we can watch over each other" Blue said still in deep thoughts.

"Ge...if something happens to you I can't promise if I can stay calm but I understand this mission is important for our future, a stepping stone for us to take up until we unite again back here achieving divinity. Let's speak to the elders later so at least we will be close to each other"

"Ti...this is for you to keep" red tried to remove the amulet sealed from his heart with the petal that seal it from blue which blue breathe into red back when he was on earth. But it was difficult to remove it as the petal seem to have been buried deep with his heart

"No! Don't pull it out...the wise soul gave me one the next day when I woke up from my dream with the elders, he said it's a twin pair that was made together and he sealed in into my heart as well. That is yours to keep"

Red look at blue and said ..."you need your petal back" red said

"I don't, it's for you ...I've given it to you"

Red look at blue well then "you will have mine as well" red breathe into blue a petal from his heart to be wrapped around the amulet of his as well.

And after the visits to the elders, they understood everything that they will be put through is a test and a choice for them as they continue walking through the journey together.
