Crystal Shade Episodes 01

something broke away from the Anshara. The ground that screamed closer all the while she wanted to stay away from it. She feared height for the first time. She didn’t want to fly anymore, but she couldn’t do anything to stop her fall. Deafening and awful screeching that shattering impact and fear was the last moment of all their lives.
    That colourful cloud; the deadly blanket of orange and red silk! I’m afraid of it! I don’t want to see it! It’s just hurting me! Mom? Dad? Where are you? And where is Aurora? Mommy? Daddy! Sister! her panicked thoughts desperately cried, but she didn’t get any response. She slowly calmed as the memories faded and she found herself in the peaceful calm blue realm. They’re gone. I’m alone. I’m afraid. Someone please. Help, begged the lonely soul in sorrow and fear that wanted to cry, but couldn’t.
    Another lightning bolt stuck right behind the mysterious figure. The soul trembled and feared from him.
    Please, don’t hurt me. Please.
    Don’t fear, Angeni , came the calm tender thoughts of the stranger. I would never hurt you.
    I’m alone. I’m so tired. I want to go home and sleep. Please, help me, the heartbroken soul thought while an all-encompassing fatigue tried to overwhelm her. Music. I, I hear crystal music. Who, who plays it? her enchanted soul wondered while soft clear and innocent crystal music wrapped around her trembling existence. It is so soft and soothing, the voices of a thousand kind spirits.
    You must go now. Mother is calling you, the voice of the stranger whispered in her mind. The beginning has just ended. The time of the one in the midst of all has come. The journey to the end is just begun. The friendly thoughts of the stranger pulsed like blood rushing in her head, merged with the music, which came from everywhere, yet nowhere.
    Sapphire light flashed in front of the tired soul. She didn’t care about anything else, just the music, and the light that calmed her fear, emitted endless love, and called her.
    Beautiful, her soul thought with awe as the sapphire light slowly embraced her. Sachylia is just coming up. She makes the perfect beginning of a new perfect day.
    It’s your perfect new day, Angeni, murmured the tender thoughts of the stranger as the light embraced and overwhelmed her soul. Your life has just begun.

    “Life,” said the old man. “It’s a strange, fluid word in my civilization. In my time, many believed that only flesh and blood beings were able to live a real life, capable of creating civilizations, doing miracles, giving or taking the lives of other living beings, controlling the world itself and setting the rules for the future. But in reality, life itself is what your spirit, your soul is living and experiencing, your spirit’s actions over all its existence, regardless that it’s in a physical body or living free without any material bonds,” the old man told the children. “In the Crystal Shade, most of the valiant, noble heroes were born and their real life began after they left their fragile shell.”

    “As with all of our souls, hers belonged to the mother of us all,” continued the old man. “She was her mother’s child, but unlike other souls, she was a faultless and innocent crystal soul. The Crystal Mother called her, and yet, not as she called others. Her human life had to end so a new life could begin the life for which she was created. The life that was her real destiny.”

    A bright light blinded the lonely fragile soul, but as sudden as the light came, it faded away. The swirling sapphire spiritual realm surrounded the soul. Many soft shiny crystal shards that seemed like dots shone gently on the tapestry of the spiritual universe. The soul felt as if she was in a dream, yet her instincts knew she was not.
    Frightened, she drifted in the river of souls with thousands more. Others left some of the crystal shards and joined the fast flowing ethereal river coursing toward the center of the realm. Each water drop was a soul. Souls of every color imaginable glowed. They also felt alone and feared the unknown as the lonely soul did.
    I am afraid. I’m soft, weak, and all alone. Thousands of other souls surround me. The lonely desperate soul thought. They’re strangers to me, yet I know they’re my brothers and sisters. They always were. I feel them. I hear them. Yet everyone is silent. No one is speaking. Mommy? Daddy? Aurora? Where are you? she asked desperate,
