Chapter 4
Alex stretched and stood up. "We should head back to town. This wasn't what I was expecting to happen, but I guess I should have learned that what one expects doesn't always happens," Alex said slightly disappointed. Chris nodded and gathered together a few things. "Sometimes the journey of life takes us to other places that we never expected, but end up enjoying," Chris told him.
Alex shrugged and started on the way out. Passing one of the pillars, Alex stopped and heard a voice whisper something. "Did you hear that, Chris," Alex asked him. Chris looked around. "You mean that wasn't you," Chris stated. Alex stared at him perplexed. A gentle whisper crossed their ears. "You heard that too," Alex noted seeing Chris's face. "The future is waiting to be reunited," the voice said a little louder. "Who's there," Alex asked. "Your future," the voice replied. "What do you mean," Alex inquired.
A gentle warm breeze gently ran across his face. "Think deep inside and you will know you are not who you think you are. Your future is calling you. Step away from the person you think you are and be who you are. You aren't Alex... She knows," the voice told them.
"Who knows," Chris asked the voice and Alex. "April," Alex whispered gently. "Find her and you find yourself. Become reunited with yourself. Let you memories guide you. Let yourself go into the future and be who you really are," the voice guided Alex. Alex nodded and smiled.
"Who are you," Chris asked. A blurry image appeared in front of them both. "I am the past and he is the future," the image told them. Alex starred at the image. "That note... you left it for me, didn't you," Alex asked. The image laughed at him. "Silly boy, you still haven't quite gotten it have you," the voice said scoffing him a little.
Alex looked confused and gazed over at Chris. Chris shrugged and shot Alex a quizzical look. "Sometimes one must look at things from an outside view. Sometimes one needs to step out of one's shoes and try to analyze things that way. The note... you left for me. I never did get to retrieve it. My death occured first. You wear my cloak. You assume my name, but yet you don't realize that. It's time for you to step out of my shoes and back into yours. You have a difficult life to live. You have many twists and turns coming near. You need to find your heart once again. It's closer than you think. Most importantly, you need to answer the questions of your past," the voice told him.
"If what you say is right and I am not Alex... Then I am Robert," Alex inquired. "Maybe, that is right. I'm not sure if that is your name or if it's one that you adopted. All I know is your tried to help me, but I was already beyond help and I didn't even realize it. I appreciated your kindness and today, I get to repay it to you. Go find yourself. The answer is awaiting you in Fenia," the image commented.
The image slowly faded from their view. "Safe journey," the voice whispered trailing away. Alex and Chris stood their dumbfounded by what had just happened. Was it a dream? When would they wake? But who's dream would it have been? Is it possible to share a dream? According to the myths, maybe so, but had it ever happened before? They pondered many questions, but decided that they should put it in the past for the time being. "Let's go back to Fenia," Alex said. "Maybe we can find out more there," Chris commented. They nodded in agreement and headed out the gates.
