“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAvnLy4fEZYf
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left349Please respect copyright.PENANAEQY2sEKS59
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find349Please respect copyright.PENANAuLtxwWFyJI
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them349Please respect copyright.PENANA93qX5VfmpV
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”349Please respect copyright.PENANAtkoLzH62pS
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.349Please respect copyright.PENANAMqHARDNemG
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,349Please respect copyright.PENANA9aGQENkCbK
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something349Please respect copyright.PENANAa2iCkBNy6m
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,349Please respect copyright.PENANA6VUYjbjlEc
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none349Please respect copyright.PENANA3mshlcj0pj
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may349Please respect copyright.PENANA9mziK4lMHO
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and349Please respect copyright.PENANAAqU6D6wjq9
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAzuxHb1Nv2J
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right349Please respect copyright.PENANANNxAwAHr8D
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.349Please respect copyright.PENANAgdM54urxXq
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all349Please respect copyright.PENANAtV38KhUifR
things easier.” He slowly stood up.349Please respect copyright.PENANAsvScdVOB5t
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great349Please respect copyright.PENANA2XGTkTLsAF
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger349Please respect copyright.PENANAhQj0UfYmRc
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your349Please respect copyright.PENANAQMGsg4HGkX
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make349Please respect copyright.PENANA7yiH64oxKM
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain349Please respect copyright.PENANAx3xwJnmUCs
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed349Please respect copyright.PENANA5qYZmkUwSt
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his349Please respect copyright.PENANAacDDHbXNId
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,349Please respect copyright.PENANAgHn1UNROTO
I think I will hold on to this one.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ3Dx5Fbh8
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not349Please respect copyright.PENANAtXB5ACQCEm
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that349Please respect copyright.PENANAayHN9y8jVR
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though349Please respect copyright.PENANAEQBuiCZigh
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something349Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0BOpsDTNI
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.349Please respect copyright.PENANAvEfPae0cY4
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.349Please respect copyright.PENANAsRnbBjncUa
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,349Please respect copyright.PENANAvCoKb3qh4L
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever349Please respect copyright.PENANAPk5MCPCJEI
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks349Please respect copyright.PENANA4UsB6jxlir
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue349Please respect copyright.PENANADKuM7Uh9do
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAWj4cGQ0iPP
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me349Please respect copyright.PENANAx4xfBdjgC2
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAJthFKBhZ0J
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;349Please respect copyright.PENANAjeVTPKjfXp
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that349Please respect copyright.PENANAYHfjWDao6C
in a very long time.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAEtqoJANliJ
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.349Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2KO2yrQvk
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the349Please respect copyright.PENANAzIni6Rql0y
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.349Please respect copyright.PENANAkaPRwDVkn1
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.349Please respect copyright.PENANAuYdYDjpkCc
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.349Please respect copyright.PENANAJqT1tOMoCb
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”349Please respect copyright.PENANADz1rCLVn3t
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish349Please respect copyright.PENANANApqRbVjfs
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
