Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.
This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.
Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 21
It was something I realized some time ago, but till now I never understood how lonely both of them must have felt growing up.
"Yes Sei, he is like you."
She looks up with wet eyes and nods.
"In another life you would be called star children, but here you are just Sei and Numico. A Prince who, as a child, thought he could talk to animals, and an annoying teenager with strange sayings."
She laughs, "Yes we are."
"But what are they doing here?"
โI thought you would know that by now,โ I tease.
"No, my head has never been as empty as when I held Numico. I always asked for peace in my head, but that was too much peace. As if everything was fine, nothing more was needed."
Sometimes you don't even see things when they're right in front of you, I think. Numico and Sei are the unity. They recognize each other without knowing it.
As far as I know, there are not many of them in this world, but I have already met two of them. I have felt very comfortable alongside both, but I am not one of them. If not one of them, and if not ยดnormalยด then what am I?
Why are my travels filled with them, but am I not part of them, if not them who am I?
Then I realize I have struggled with this question for much longer, that I never felt like fitting in while fitting in everywhere.
It takes me far too long before dusk falls, and I fill the time with stories about Numico. I canยดt seem to wipe that set of wett eys from my retina but Sei seems overly curious about her brother from another mother and these stories seem to cheer her up.
Not surprising when you consider how lonely they must feel among all those so-called normal people by whom they are constantly surrounded.
Fortunately, Numico keeps its word because as soon as dusk falls, the door is opened without knocking.
"Sorry Martio, but I don't want to be late. I know you're probably still not a patient man, but everyone here in the village..."
I put my arm around his now serious shoulder, "Sit down, it's okay. Tell me about the state of the empire, Dadrie and Cabilah. What is life like in that so-called real world."
"Only because you asked so politely, and because there is little I can refuse you," Numico begins.
"Everyone is doing well and everyone is making babies, Cabilah sends her heart." Without explaining that sentence, he continues in one breath.
"Sion is now indeed Empress, what a situation that was. A week of protocols and secondary obligations, but it seems to be working. The resistance has indeed been broken and both the people and the new council fully support her. And so do I, of course." His soft eyes look at Sion who immediately takes her chance.
"Numico, he already knows."
โWhat, how?โ
"Congratulations both, securing the throne now already will only strengthen your position. Not that I think it's necessary but you never know who will come visit the boss of the world and mess things up."
"Martio, how?" Ask Numico again and then the realization comes.
"You two, you are a danger to humanity, it is a good thing that you are locked up in a village that no one knows. Now I understand why I said your future was here," Numico bursts out laughing.
"But let's talk about that in a moment, first tell me where Sei found you?"
I donยดt even ask how he knows."That seems more like her story to tell," I say, looking in her direction and seeing the enthusiasm bubbling up.
These two bring out the best in each other. I watch them both while Sei reveals her life story once again.
Sei and Numico have so much to share and Sion and I are resigned to the fact that we have so much life energy flowing right in front of us.
Sometimes our eyes meet, each time she looks more like her mother.
Then when there is a moment of silence Numico looks at me seriously; "Martio, do you remember when I dreamed of the Boss of the World?"
