“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAyOCiKs16NK
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left351Please respect copyright.PENANAAcY6W8sO5E
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find351Please respect copyright.PENANAB6slVAdgcl
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them351Please respect copyright.PENANAsxzZXoPhCO
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”351Please respect copyright.PENANA7E0DHdopRV
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.351Please respect copyright.PENANA0hl1gPvsk9
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,351Please respect copyright.PENANA7K8mSBXjG2
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something351Please respect copyright.PENANA4T9LaLOPXK
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,351Please respect copyright.PENANAfES3aOP7Rx
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none351Please respect copyright.PENANAWSKBNM7F1T
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may351Please respect copyright.PENANAJZRGrSi2dH
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and351Please respect copyright.PENANAcT19yhjnhL
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAUUaFVWsj5w
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right351Please respect copyright.PENANA1fdNljVpck
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.351Please respect copyright.PENANAMXy3gKtSu8
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all351Please respect copyright.PENANAR01fHQk2QL
things easier.” He slowly stood up.351Please respect copyright.PENANA8ufXhHeSwH
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great351Please respect copyright.PENANA0I9unmjwEx
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger351Please respect copyright.PENANATvJ4NHKgri
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your351Please respect copyright.PENANAjHP1TyfMxD
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make351Please respect copyright.PENANASFVsjZqZsB
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain351Please respect copyright.PENANArroVgQnZpv
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed351Please respect copyright.PENANADNVwRIaRLj
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his351Please respect copyright.PENANAhNqmhXJVHy
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,351Please respect copyright.PENANAJjXiNVNGZs
I think I will hold on to this one.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAdFGeQUA8Ap
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not351Please respect copyright.PENANAuzIYScVkdA
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that351Please respect copyright.PENANADqM6ABQwzI
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though351Please respect copyright.PENANA8WA7HZLxOC
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something351Please respect copyright.PENANAB44tq0vxbv
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.351Please respect copyright.PENANA1QSk9PsMBw
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.351Please respect copyright.PENANAHDft0a0ejR
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,351Please respect copyright.PENANAVrVpt6DOH2
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever351Please respect copyright.PENANABfvsA4Cppb
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks351Please respect copyright.PENANAOTZPd80l2C
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue351Please respect copyright.PENANAvgmKQjSSh7
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAxS5RfaAP35
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me351Please respect copyright.PENANAZpNCrmkYzm
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”351Please respect copyright.PENANAMEx7vdkFN2
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;351Please respect copyright.PENANAdvPM3ZCmwv
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that351Please respect copyright.PENANAnzee0bspL2
in a very long time.”351Please respect copyright.PENANAQpdl1OGrqd
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.351Please respect copyright.PENANAkTK69tsIUk
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the351Please respect copyright.PENANABvFkw1En6m
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.351Please respect copyright.PENANAUBjWPhxKVC
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.351Please respect copyright.PENANAgYFCyP9f12
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.351Please respect copyright.PENANAm3umzpFK0G
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”351Please respect copyright.PENANAw2O8HkZbxk
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish351Please respect copyright.PENANAm3a1UBIFmX
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
