I have dreamed enough. And the dreams have dreamt of me.
I thought of things, the things that changed my life and the things that rushed past me without leaving a trace. I was silent. I had been silent for life long. My heart spoke of its voice and it was enough. I indulged in my own world for too long. It was a world of hope and stillness.
He stood under the tree.
I knew he had been there for days. I couldn't bring myself to walk there, and ask. The words twisted in my heart, tangled in my mind. I clearly saw him standing still. I could almost hear his tempting whisper: come. So I closed my eyes and listened again, and there was silence. And then the voice came again: come. So I danced along the footprints that had been there for so long, and sang a song with a language I could not comprehend. I saw his eyes, deep with tears.
And those memories struck me at that moment.
His face reminded me of those untrue dreams I had, those that became a part of me since the beginning. He looked at me with that heartbroken expression, then lowered his head.
At that moment I knew who he was. I feared the answer. He drifted in the air as a phantom across time to show me the past glory, I couldn't believe my eyes so I looked into his eyes again. There came the answer that I could not hide myself from.
We ran down the rivers that never stopped its flow. We conquered the mountains with flowers of various colors, hand in hand. We ran away from a destined death that had befallen me ages ago when I was born. And he was the brave soldier that mistakenly fell in love with me.
I was the chosen by the priest.
You were to be the one. He said.
So my death was decided. I never questioned them about my fate, until the day he appeared in my life. The brave soldier, who was said to be the future husband of leader's daughter, took my hands, walked by my side. He promised to live with me. So we ran. We ran for life.
I heard the rueful cry of the people chasing after us.
--If we die, will you wait till the day I find you? He asked, tenderly.
--Yes. Tears came to my eyes, I stood by his side, looking back at our people. There were rage on their faces and despair in their eyes. At that moment I knew that we all feared one thing: the unknown.
The lord had risen. They said. For your treachery.
The leader shed his daughter's blood, which was black. The rage of the lord has risen among our tribe. And we must be punished.
--Set them on fire, till death deprives their sin. The leader ordered forcefully.
We never escaped.
We were there. The fire seemed to tear me apart. I was surrounded by it. And I looked at him. At that instant I covered my hand over his face, felt the finest lines of his face. I wanted to tell him to be silent. He looked at me with the magnificent yellow flame between us. That flame was bonded to destroy us.
And then there was silence.
So it's you. I recalled the most terrifying nightmare and those ancient memories.
He nodded. I came to you as I promised.
I was reborn so many times. But he remained timeless.
Tears rose to my eyes. I touched his hands which were cold.
Ah, the loved we sought so vainly, was destroyed in that tremendous fire along with our lives.
I wanted to cry.
"But please do not cry." He pled tenderly, "it has been centuries and I intend to tell you some stories."
