How long I was asleep I did not know but I felt like a long time has passed. I slowly regained my consciousness but it seems like I am weak and did not have any energy whatsoever, I drifted in and out for a great while.
When I finally found enough energy to wake up, I first heard people talking to me in a language foreign to me. I could not understand them but I can feel such warmth from their voice and on how they speak. I judged that I was somewhere safe even if it is only a gut feeling. I tried to open my eyes or move my body but it seemed impossible to do so, sure I was somehow conscious but my body does not respond to my brain’s order. I tried once more as I can feel the voices encouraging me to wake up even if I do not understand them but alas it is not so for today, I slowly lost my energy and I succumbed to slumber once more.
It happened for a while that I would gain enough energy to regain consciousness but would not be able to move my body or open my eyes, I began to be frustrated but there was no outlet. Instead of getting agitated I chose to do what I can do, I listened, and from what I can gather I was not once alone, I was always with a person, I can sense them yet I can’t communicate with them. Until one miraculous day, I was so pent up with not being able to communicate with them that I was conscious I tried the thing that was not possible for me for the weeks that have passed. I tried opening my eyes and I was successful.
What greeted me was a sight I will never forget in this new life I was given. Yes, my memory remained intact, I knew of the thing that transpired between me and God. I knew for a fact that I was given one more chance in this new world.
I saw the most beautiful girl I have ever seen staring at me. She has blonde hair, green eyes, and a radiant smile. I did not know who she was but I knew she was a person I would gladly spend my life with. (Love at first sight) Seeing me open my eyes startled her a bit and made her run screaming to an old (well much older looking than I was back when I was in Earth) man that was doing something at the corner of the room, the man was dressed much like what a Priest would wear back on my previous life. Seeing her running to him, I can see that she was pretty excited in telling this man that I was now conscious.
Hearing what this young woman was telling him and their language that was definitely not English the old man ran to where I was with a huge smile on his face. He began talking to me excitedly; he began checking me to see if I indeed was awake, he began frowning when he saw that I was not reacting / replying to whatever he was saying. I can sense that he was confused but I do not have enough energy to speak or change my facial expression. Staying awake and opening my eyes took a toll in my energy and I began drowsing off once more.
Sister Alissa’s POV
To be honest to see this young man awaken was a great sign from the great Celestials, I was in truth doubting if this young man was ever to wake up once again.
I remembered when I first met him; I was strolling down the beach looking for some time for myself, away from the busyness of the Cathedral of Avendra (Goddess of Healing and Motherhood) when I saw this body just floating around near the beach side. The body was not moving and it looked like it has been there for a while. I of course panicked and decided that instead of going to ask for help, would be better off doing it myself. So I went to the water in my Holy Garb and swam to him as soon as I was able. I prayed to the Great Goddess for mercy that I would be able to resurrect the person floating. I was able to get to the body and drag it to the shore.

Identifying that the body was that of a man and seeing that he was not breathing I of course had to do the resuscitation myself (which I slightly regret, I wanted my first kiss to be romantic). I did it for a while, hoping and praying once more to Avendra, Goddess of Healing and Motherhood to allow this young man one more chance at life. After a few seconds he coughed up the water that is in his body. I was relieved but he was not waking up. I was getting concerned once more, so I did what any follower of the Goddess Avendra would do. I used a healing spell on him, hoping that he would regain consciousness afterwards but it was to no avail.
This time I decided that it would be better to call the Priest in the Cathedral. So I ran as fast as I could. I even used support spells on myself so I can reach the Cathedral faster. Running to the front door I was glad to see Father Albert tending to his small garden at the front of the Church. Might as well be him as he is known to be one of the masters of Healing.
Sister Alissa: “Father Albert! Father Albert!”
Startled the father rose from his seating position to see a running Sister Alissa calling him.
Father Albert: “What is it child? What is the matter of grave importance that you would act in such an unkempt way?”
Reaching Father Albert I prattled what happened.
Sister Alissa: “Father…..huff……huff….huff….(gulped) Father……Albert, I saw…I saw a man floating at the waters near the beach I tend to go too, I tried to revive him, I was able to get the water out of his body but he won’t wake up, so I used a healing spell on him but even that was not enough. I need your help father.”
Father Albert: “Where is he then child? Do not tell me you left him there?”
Sister Alissa: ”I do not have any option father, there was no one beside me at the beach so I ran here to ask for your help.”
Father Albert: “Okay then. Guide me to where he is.”
Father Albert’s POV
When I first helped the man that Sister Alissa saved I thought that he was just unconscious because of the traumatic experience he went through. But when he opened his eyes, I was struck with great fear. His eyes that are so dark it was like no light would ever penetrate it, Eyes that exude a quiet power even I who had gained the Gift of Clairvoyance from Goddess Avendra get rattled by. I have never experienced such an uncomfortable feeling just by looking at someone’s eyes. I wanted to use my Gift to see his future but something was stopping me from doing so, something strong, something absolute.
Such a mysterious person, he is not evil and yet he is not good. That is the only thing I was able to perceive when I saw his eyes. This is a person that would be of great impact to the world. For good or for worse no one, not even the Celestials would know.
Truly a mysterious person.
