Tears for the Unknown

「さようなら、私の魂。。

。。。さようなら」

Tears for the unknown

This is the reverse version of the previous post. Written in Beta's point of view but the title is written in Alpha's point of view

--------------

..So I found myself here in the dark..

"...Am I ready for this...?"

....My heart was wavering....

".....He's here....."

"......then it is time......"

.......so this is when we would apart......

I held the bottle tightly.. Maybe it had been decided from back then? I tried to recollect any memories. But I couldn't. I didn't even know why I was thinking like I was now. A crystal bottle in my right hand and hour glass in my left hand. When I looked, the hour glass only had little sand left.

I must hurry

A voice echoed in my ear. I opened the crystal bottle as that voice told me to. Tiny light came out from the bottle, making a pathway between me and him. I heard footsteps coming towards me.

He is coming.

The footsteps's sound became bigger and bigger. I shuddered. The sound was more like a grim reaper coming for me.. I was afraid.. I really was. A part of me wanted to run away from him. When I heard the footsteps no more, the voice whispered to me,

"He is here"

Hearing that, the worries disappeared. But, what should I tell him? The voices echoed "Do not think.. Just do what you want to do now"

"..so you're here.."

Tallking to a person whose face couldn't be seen.. and whom I didn't even know. I only knew, I knew this person.

”....you didn't remember anything? It's alright, even I don't understand why...."

That's the truth.. I didn't know anything.. I just knew that I needed to say everything I wanted to say now..

'shaaa...'

I looked around to find the noise and found the hour glass started to disappear. My time was over.

Realizing that, i just smiled.

"Thank you for coming to see me.. I really wanted to see you for the very last time"

That was my last words to him. My body started to crumble and disappeared. With my last everything, I whispered to myself hoping that the voice would deliver my last message

"Good bye, my soul..

...good bye"

--------------

I guess this will be the end for Beta's story if I decided to use the plot

It is time..we part..Farewell

I think this will be one of the climax for 'The Home of the Two" Why one? Coz I have tons of endings in my brain and tons of climax as well --;

---------------------

..It's pitch black..

"...Where am I...?"

....I have to go back....

".....where to.....?"

"......those stars....."

.......I know it.......

I walked.. Following the light. I don't know why. My feet brought me to the tiniest glow ever and I was fine with it. Stars.....? How did I know that it was stars? 

"..so you are here.."
...who is it?...
”....you didn't remember anything? It's alright, even I don't understand why...."
.....what are you..talking about?...
Someone was there.. I was talking with that person. But, who is that person? I stretched my hand, trying to touch that person. But I couldn't. Is that person...real?

No, is this..real?

That person smiled.. Why? Why did I know any of this? I couldn't even see that person. But, I was sure that that person was smiling as if that person was me.

"......."
I couldn't feel any presence. I was sure that person was there before. It was as if that person disappeared. I tried to ensure myself that there was no one there. I turned back and without realizing it, tears came down from my right eye.

"Why am I crying?"
"........"

My right eye kept crying beyond my control. As if the heaven was crying because an angel had fallen.
"........fallen angel........during rainy days......."
"Didn't you know？"

And I cried.

Okay, when I published the post, suddenly I cried. And my heart hurt like hell --;
This is from Alpha point of view, but the title is from Beta point of view
I'll post the reverse in the next post

The Home of the Two

Long, long ago, in a faraway land... There was a tiny village that lived together happily with the other villages. This tiny vilage is called 'together (in latin or greek)'. 'Together' lived harmonically with the other villages. Even other villages often came to them to ask for advices. Why is it? Because the villager of 'Together' is very special.
-----
General idea:
'Together' consists only people that are born with his/her shared soul i.e their twins. It doesn't matter whether it is twins, triplet, or quadruplet. People in 'Together' believe that the god never let them alone in this world, thus when they are born, there will always be at least two of himself that will never be apart.  Every villager lives together with their twins until they reach adulthood - 20 years old. When they are 20, one of them will go to the outside world, while one of them will remain in the village for the rest of his/her life. The twin that lives in the village serve as connection to the twin that live in the outside world. With this, they preserve their tradition and get new knowledge from the other world without going out themselves. The Elder will decide who goes out and who stays.

The main character - let's call them Alpha until I give him proper name -  born with his twins - let's call her Beta until I give her proper name as well. Alpha and Beta are born without the elder can read any of the sign - leaving the Elder in confusion thus they live under the elder surveillance. When Alpha and Beta reach 16 years old, Alpha starts having weird dream. A voice and a soul. Alpha tells this to the Elder, and the Elder decides to send Alpha to the outside world before the rest of the village knows the secret behind them. However, Alpha tells this secret to Beta and gives her an empty crystal bottle and saying "the bottle will let you know what happens to me. no one must see this" Beta starts having the same dream but from different perspective 1 month after Alpha leaves.

Basically the dream is the truth about the twins. Their ancestors pray to god to never let him and his descendants alone again. The god agreed. Thus the god split one soul into two, and giving each soul a body. One day, the two soul must come back to one before both of them lose their 'flame' (something like fuel to live). The elders can see the 'symbol' of the one that soon will lose their flame - they send it to the outside world.

Before he is sent to outside world, Alpha realise that some twin does not exist anymore. This is why he gives the bottle to Beta. The bottle serves as connection in case something happens to either of them. While loitering around in the outside world, he meets a couple of twin who are separated from their twins. They are the one who still have their 'flame'. Alpha realised his hypothesis - some twin do not exist anymore (by questioning and stuffs) - was true. He starts to wonder what should he do to prevent either of them to cease. Meanwhile, Beta starts to realise that she can't feel Alpha's presence anymore. Whenever she feels it, a tiny star appears in the bottle. At first, she thought there is something wrong with Alpha. However, it's the other way around.
