in the other direction? I had the idea it would be like
pushing and pulling on an object at the same time, or trying to pat my head,
rub my belly, and hop on one foot at the same time.
Rather than try to do both right off, I thought I might as
well see if I’d truly figured it out first, and just try to connect to the
spiritual plane, have it anchor me. I knew it was childish, and I needed
to get past it, but I really wished my mother was here to explain it all.
Even just doing that… I’ve never done it before, and had no idea if it was even
possible.
Although, the idea of it kind of rung a chord deep inside
me. I knew the eldest of us, the most powerful, were considered
omniscient in human tales and legends. While that wasn’t true, no one
being could possibly know everything, it was true that the eldest of us could
find anything out from past, present, and even future that they wanted to know
through the Akashic records… which resided in the spiritual plane.
Perhaps anchoring in the spirit plane was the first step in
a long journey toward that goal. Perhaps the reach of my power out here,
would be mirrored by the reach of my power inside the spiritual plane. Or
maybe I was deluding myself by seeing what I wanted to see, there was only one
way to find out.
I sat in a meditation pose and closed my eyes.
“Miku?”
My eyes popped open and I looked over to the bars. The
earth sorceress stood there, with a questioning look on her face. I stood
up and moved closer.
I frowned, “How do you know my name?”
She sighed, “What happened, is your mother and father
alright?”
I shook my head, “Who are you?”
“Sorry, you wouldn’t remember me. I haven’t seen you
since you were two, which was what? Hundred and fourteen years ago?
I’m Melody, I’ve known your mother since she relocated here from the East coast
a hundred and fifty years ago.”
I asked, “You were friends?”
Her eyes watered at my words, and I felt uncomfortable,
“Were? I’m so sorry. We were… allies. You know how insular
your race can be, at least the good ones, but we were as close to friends as
she would allow. I’m… sorry for your loss.”
I wasn’t sure what to say.
She asked, “How did it happen?”
I frowned, “My father… had an accident, my mother followed.”
She shook her head, “What do you mean, followed?”
“She followed her mate into death,” it hurt to say it, at
peace with her loss or not.
Her eyes narrowed, “She just left you? I don’t believe
it.”
I snorted a little angry now, I hadn’t wanted to believe it
either, “I was there.”
Melody didn’t argue, but I could tell she wasn’t buying
it. It was kind of annoying actually, only my respect for her age and
power stopped me from flipping her off. Like I wouldn’t know?
She nodded, “I suppose there’s a whole story to how you got
here, and I can guess some of it. Give Ceara a chance, she doesn’t suffer
fools or law breakers, but she isn’t heartless either. You should try to
get some rest, I think she plans on seeing you last.”
“Why last?” I asked, curious despite myself.
She smiled, “To get as much information about you as she can
before you two speak. I think you surprised the hell out of her with that
spirit lightning. Not much surprises a two-thousand-year old vampire.”
I nodded, “I’ll get some sleep,” after I try to anchor to
the spirit world, but I didn’t say that last out loud.
Melody nodded, “I’ll see you again, I’m sure.”
Then the floor cracked and rumbled, and she slid right
through the cement foundation and into the earth below, and then she was simply
out of my range to detect. I shivered at the thought, and went back to my
bunk and sat down. I wasn’t sure what to make of that conversation, but
maybe it was a good thing, I could use allies, and perhaps a friend?
Whatever that truly was. I closed my eyes and focused inward to my
pushing and pulling on an object at the same time, or trying to pat my head,
