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 37
"I actually think you both know what needs to be done. What's going to happen? Neither of you wants to know, but you do it anyway," She comes closer and her eyes are so not Sei's eyes, they are strange. Watery, unstable, and at the same time decisive.
"True, I'm not human like you and Sei. But I too am just a cog to keep the whole construction moving. To keep you moving, a necessary link to keep the balance. Everyone is necessary, but few are as necessary as you. It's a mystery to me why you, you're not much more than most of your kind and yet you had to be. You see I don't understand anything about the bigger plan. I was called and sent and here I am."
I nod. "I think it's time for you to go away for a while, I came here to be with Sei and so far you've added little."
"It's okay Martio, but I just added more. Youยดll see, just wait until I leave."
She walks back to where Sei had sat down, takes the same position and again I see that vibration in the air.
"Iiieeeeiiiieeeeeehhhh."
With a scream Sei wakes up, I have never heard her scream like that. It's like an animal is being slaughtered. I stand up and run to her and want to throw my arms around her but she pushes me away.
"No, no go away. Go away. You're dead go away!"
I pinch myself to make sure that after all this craziness I'm still the living version of myself. My skin does feel a bit rubbery between my fingers but I feel the pain when I apply force.
"Ehh Sei, I don't know. But I think I'm still alive. Or were those mushrooms meant to poison me so much that I would never get up again? Because then something went wrong."
She takes a few deep breaths. "You're not funny," she laughs.
"You're not either if you declare me dead, but what's wrong? The mushrooms still?"
She closes her eyes, her breathing becomes calmer and she shakes her head. "No, I don't think the mushrooms, the images were much too realistic and the worst thing was that I knew I'd seen it before. I don't know how, or where, but you were lying there. Dead, and I ......"
She swallows, she looks up. "The only thing I thought was okay then we can continue now."
"I don't know what was worse your death or my thoughts. What a sick person I am when I think things like that. I'm not, am I? Am I, Martio?"
I try to put my arms around her again and this time she lets me in.
"No, that's not you," I say, trying to sound as confident as possible. I quickly close my doors because I feel the thoughts coming and this one is not for her; She is indeed not now, but I am not dead yet either.
We are a plaything of life and nothing is certain, or forever. Only then do I remember what happened a few minutes ago? The scream had blown the thoughts away, but now that peace has returned, Fay's last words also come back to me.
I thought that 'wait until I'm gone' was about the future and had almost forgotten the words. I dismissed it as someone saying you will miss me someday, but when I look back at the context, she wanted to let me know that she had indeed added something. Something that I was not yet aware of at that moment, namely my own death.
As I sit here with my arms around her I feel all my thoughts being sucked into the ground, as if something is trying to empty me. I can no longer concentrate, it is as if everything is gone. Thoughts and feelings that normally fill me from the moment I wake until I finally sleep again, are gone.
I have never felt so empty.
Could it be that I am dead after all, dying in Sei's arms without realizing it? That I may leave all the heaviness that I carry with me daily here on this earth, and that my flesh and bones will become one with the soil over the many years to come until there is nothing but my dust.
By all the gods?
Could it be that crazy? This is a mushroom thought, it must be. I can't make this up.
Sei who has to wait until I am dead to be able to continue.
Of course, I have to be dead in this world to be able to continue. If we want to carry out this task I cannot stay here. I have to be there, but when I get there I won't remember anything about this.
Unless, unless Sei tells it all to me again.
