Enigma of the Soul - Book 1 - Pieces (24 page)

Devan looks out the window straight at the stars thinking about his men. He closes his eyes and searches for his special men.

The Leader stops and turns towards the direction that Devan is standing.

‘Yes my master. What can I do for you?’

“I need you and your men to travel west to hunt down a person. His name is David Turner. Bring me his head and heart so I may keep them as a trophy. If you and your men succeed at this, I will make you generals.”

Knowing that if they can do what he commands, he will proceed on with his plan and revving up the timetable.

“I am sorry, but I cannot stop,” Alfonzo continues to cry for all that died that day of the Great War.

“Its okay. You cry until you cannot cry anymore, and if need be, I’ll cry for you,” David says while holding Alfonzo in his arms.

David snaps his fingers and the fireplace ignites.

'I will protect you with everything I got. If I need to become stronger, then I will.'

Alfonzo falls asleep in David’s arms as he watches over her. They don’t move all night long, keeping each other warm and close.

As morning appears, David awakes first. He walks over to his window to look upon the house that he did not first realize whose home it was. David steps back realizing that the house is his family's home from when he was a little boy. The home looks as if it had been frozen in time. A single tear runs down his face.

Alfonzo uses a finger to wipe David’s tear away.

“I didn’t hear you get up.”

“I didn’t want to scare you.”

“I’ve been waiting to see this house again.”

“The windows are designed to cater to your hearts desire,” Alfonzo puts her hand on David’s chest.

“My heart yearns for my family. My heart wishes to see my parents once more.”

“Maybe they’re up in Heaven. If you want, I can take you there.”

Alfonzo turns David around to look into his eyes.

David is silent for a couple of minutes then asks.

“Does it ever rain in Heaven?”

“Yes, but only when God cries.”

“God cries?!”

“Yes, he does. He cries over someone very close. I think it’s his brother. Only a few people know who his brother is. My parents know who he is, but my mother will not say. My father has promised God to never say his name."

“Will I get to meet God?” David asks.

“I have meet him only once. He is a private man that likes to sit in the shadows and watch. If you do see him, then you might be someone important too.”

Alfonzo transforms into a phoenix and hovers in front of David, waiting for him to transform.

“I hope I may meet God so I can ask him about his brother,” David says as he transforms and hovers next to Alfonzo.

“I hope you do.”

Alfonzo and David fly off, heading towards Heaven.
