Ahem... enjoy?
===============================================================================================
Damn I couldn't feel anything. After my last breath everything around me darkened. There were no lights, no sounds..... there was nothing. Is this how everything will end....
Suddenly i could feel my body emanating a weak blue like, a color that was similar to the water which was basked in the moonlight. I could faintly see trough my own body. So in the end there is nothing after death.... no heaven or hell , any gods.... just darkness?......
After a long time finally i could feel water at my legs so I slowly opened my eyes. As i opened my tired eyes i was shocked. All around myself there other people and all of them were different from each other. All of them had blue aura surrounding them, some were brighter some were lesser.
As i started to observe the surroundings I could see that there were endless rows of people , the sky if it could be called like that was completely dark. just the water was radiating a simple blue light. As i couldn't contain myself i started to ask the closest person to me.
"ermm... excuse me can you please tell me what is this place?"-Alexander
"Hmm......This place ...... nobody knows...... but the others........... call it......."-???
"Yes how is it called?"-Alexander
"Well..... The well of souls."-???
"And why are we here?"-Alexander
"We are here..... to...... be reborn*grin*"-???
Okay... that grin is too malicious. He had a top hat with a big feather, long coat and a cane that made him look like a rich old man..... meh not one of my concern. If he got any information is great.
"Thank you"-Alexander *brings hand for a handshake*
As soon he saw the hand he started to shriek and said "DON'T TOUCH ME FOOL. IF YOU TOUCH ANOTHER SOUL YOU CAN RISK TO GET MIXED WITH THE OTHER ONE. BEGONE" suddenly a gust of wind like a violent gale came from the man.
That was so suddenly that i couldn't make my stance and i was thrown away. Sheeesh.... he should work on his manners. But that piece of advice was great. So we can't risk touching one another without mixing our souls.......
After a long time i could feel myself slowly drawn in the lake.... but did i really wish to go back there ..... those idiots should build that tower already..... sigh i wonder if i did the right thing...
Hmmm....... well like my father taught me "change is the law of life, and those who look only to past or present are certain to miss the future".... in other words lets get out of this place.
As i made order in my mind i started to move trough the water, walking past all the people who were just standing and looking at me.... all of their gazes are giving so much pressure... but i won't give up, i will go where my legs will be able.
After what it would seem ages Alexander still walked and walked trough the water that was giving trough each step more pressure than the step before. As he focused on pushing the limits he failed to see that his ghostly body was becoming more and more bluish emanating even more light.
He was like a beacon of fire in the endless water. From the sky he would look like a moving bonfire. But as he moved he started to bring attention to him. Up in the dark sky a void like undulation happened and a even darker mist appeared. Like having a mind of its own is started to roll in the so called sky following the moving bonfire.
Alexander started to feel even more pressure, each step brought even more pressure and made his steps wiggle. After all he was a spirit so he didn't have the mundane needs to eat and drink.
But... a soul has his limits... And Alexander stopped in his tracks. As he stopped he fallen on his knees and started to look towards the sky and started to scream as loud as he can " IS THIS EVERYTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!!!!"
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
But his scream was no left unanswered. That dark ripple came down and took a form of a human.....
"Hello young child"-???
Rising his head shock ran past his spine making him shiver, the second he met the human. He didn't have a face just a body with some clothes that could be seen in a church. All of them were mixed in one way or another.
"W-Who are you"-Alexander
"Well where were my manners. I don't really have a name, but the people from your world call me in various forms."
*Gulp*"My n-name is Alexander"
*giggle* "I know that young one. I actually know everything. But you passing trough the barrier and marching to the unknown , now that was interesting. For this feat alone i can give you three wishes."-???
Ahhhh he is a god how the hell could i meet him. Damn he can burn me to smithereens in seconds.... but 3 wishes.... interesting...... maybe it was worth.
"Ahem did you choose your wishes"-???
"Yes. My first wish is .... Did my people manage to contact the so called *Progenitors*?"-Alexander
"Indeed. after your death the people continued your research and after 24 years they managed to make the tower you made at that time. As a bonus i will tell you that those Progenitors are actually and ancient race that have made their home at the core of your universe. They used that signal as you call it to aid the evolution of life across the universe. And your kind managed to be the first so congratulations."-???
"So.... i was wrong all of this time...... my worries were meaningless ....."-Alexander
"Indeed. But don't worry while they constructed that tower they advanced their weaponry as well so they could fend for themselves. Many colleges were named after you and the history of mankind marked your name with the utmost honor. Your story was later found and that person who killed your family was vacuumed in space. Statues were made in your honor and because of the Progenitors Humanity was able to colonize other planets bringing life and culture across the galaxy. So don't worry you caused humongous change to Humanity."-???
*tears rolling down his cheeks*"Thank you. So i managed to do something in my life. For my second wish is there any way for me to keep my knowledge within my soul?"-Alexander
"Ho.... interesting proposal. Very well." -??? *smack*
Suddenly the blue bonfire around Alexander started to gather inside his body making it more solid but still kept that blue color on his body.
"And for my third wish reincarnate me in another world, i will forget my past on earth that kept me there."-Alexander
"hah... very well. And with this all of your wishes have been use so now please let yourself be taken inside the water so you can start your new life young one....."-???
"Okay. And thank you for everything." *bows his head*
"Blame your own achievements young child"-??? *sort of a smile?*
As our conversation finished i could feel myself sliding down inside the water, making everything dark again. The pressure was stronger than never but this time i could hear voices. As the pressure increased i started to feel pain but it was so strong that i started to cry as loud as i could.....
"It's a BOY"
