Chereads / Nostos / Chapter 2 - Rebirth

Chapter 2 - Rebirth

The Endless waves of nothing

That is how one would best describe the void.

The void, that which remains beyond the edge of infinity.

Absolute Nothing.

This far out beyond the edge absolutely nothing could remain, anything that that could and dared to wonder beyond the edge seized to exist. No, rather it could not exist.

Infinity contains everything, as such nothing can be beyond infinity. It's common sense really... Or... It's supposed to anyways.

Yet, alone drifting without purpose this far out was a soul. A strange soul, fighting for survival.

Fighting

Fighting

Fighting

Losing

Losing

Losing

It's strange, nothing should even be capable of making it to the edge much less go beyond it.

Yet this one was... Why?

I guess you could say it was curiosity that did it. Normally I simply squash any abnormalities and go on.

Really I do!

It's my job! It's my being!

I exist for this very purpose, and yet I just couldn't help but wonder.

And so I acted rashly.

Just a push really, that's all I did.

Before I could even think the little thing had already made it's way back into existence.

Something that hadn't existed now did.

It was fascinating, it happened so quickly I couldn't react.

A rebirth, anew the little soul wondered on throughout infinity before once again finding a suitable vessel, and begining a new journey.

It all happened so quickly

Strange isn't it, I don't think I've dared mess with another soul ever again.

What would happen if something similar repeated?

Existence might really seize then

That would, of course, be bad... I'd be out of a job

And a meaning...

Here, sit young one and allow me to recount this tale once more.

I think you may find some joy in it's tragedy and respite in it's comedy.
