Life In Memories

I remember the white of the ether I had been awaiting an opportunity in. It was much like the inside of a cloud that was about to erupt with woes only the oceans could tell.

I don’t  know how long I had been there for but behind there was sudden static in the otherwise silent place, my body swiftly turned to find a boy.  Huddled against him self as if he was frightened of something. “Hello there...” I announced myself while softly approaching him, I could see the red running down his legs where his hands were holding them close but was not too concerned. Nothing seemed to truly be harmful in this state of limbo.

He raised his head with tired dark eyes at me, he wasn’t startled nor did he seem surprised, though he didn’t move from that position he was huddled. “You were not ready for this were you?” I asked, now besides the boy in the ritualistic clothing from Mayan days. He could not have been older then ten.

He only shook his head back & forth lightly to confirm my answer which sent a charming smile along my lips. “Then perhaps I can be of assistance.” I said standing up with my hand out stretched to the boy, those ever so empty eyes watching me with mild curiosity now. “I can not seem to manifest myself in this world on my own, & you do not wish to die yet. If you lend me space in you body I will keep you alive until we no longer need one another.” I offered, that hand waiting for him to accept my proposition. If he did not then it was unsure as to what would happen.

I don’t know how long he stared at my hand but eventually he nodded firmly with life & sternness back in those eyes. A red soaked hand grasped onto my offered one. “You may call me Kradonous.” I said, a nod was all I received from this as the cloud around us slowly went to a blinding white then I was looking up at the black night sky. The table under me was cold & the small body I had just acquired was shaking viscously. It had to be from loose of blood.

Slow deliberate movements got me on my feet & out of the temple door to the large stair case that looked down on the tribal village. It was only moments later that I saw the full moon in the sky..& as if by insenct, began to howl something at it that the boy’s subconious was feeding me.
