Universe (Part 10) (FINALE): Final

Chapter 93

He dreamt, he was falling down a black void. Everything around him than shifted, contorting on itself and colors began forming and the colors turned into matter and he could feel the matter. He fell down and landed on his back, the sky was a baby blue and the grass was a fresh green. It appeared he was back in the grasslands, he got up and he saw the endless rolling hills around him. On top of one of the hills he could see man standing on top and the man walked past the hill. He followed the man, trying to catch up to him as he kept walking away. The man eventually stopped, and Brick approached the man.

He touched the man's shoulder, he turns around, "Well, I haven't seen you in a long time."

"Who are you?" Brick asked.

"You mean you don't remember me?"

"I- I don't."

The man smiled, and hugged Brick, "It's okay." Brick was confused as the man held onto him. But he hugged him back, "Come on than. Let's sit down."

The two of them sat down at the edge of a small moor with water in front of them, "So, who are you?"

The man grabbed a cup of water and he drank from it gracefully, "Well, who are you? Let's start with that."

"I'm Brick-" The man puts his hand out towards Brick.

"No, what is your identity. Yes I know who you are, but who are you now?"

He paused a bit, "I am..."

"You were once lost, but you've been found, haven't you?"

"Yes, you know than?"

"Well I know but I don't think I could know any better than coming from the words of you yourself. So than, who exactly are you?"

"I am a being which is a memory of someone and that memory will die out one day. But I know I am loved."

"Ah, so are we all. We all are." The man drank more water.

"It's difficult y'know, following God. Everyday is a constant battle. Things calling out to you, your past, the things around you, the future. People are evil, and I see it in this world I believe more so than anybody else."

"But do you believe there is still good?"

"Yes, and I think I can also say I know more so than anybody else. People can be saved, we can all be saved."

"And why is that? Have we all not done enough evil to consider us strayed too far from God?"

"We have, but that's how mighty God is. He know show evil we can be, but he will always love us. He knows what's right, he will always love us because we are his children. And even though as his children we do wrong, we can always go back to him. He loves us more than even a parent."

"Well said." The man sips again, "Well I guess you've got it all right?"

"I'm always learning, and my past I know I have done evil. But I try to come back from it, I try to stay on the good path. It is always a struggle like is said, but it doesn't mean it won't amount to anything to go to God."

"Well, you're all set aren't you?"

"Yeah."

"Y'know, I'll just tell you right now. Brick, I am your father, I am Nomar."

Brick froze, "Really?"

"Yes."

"Well... I just want to say I love you. Dad I love you."

"We do too."

Brick feels a touch on his shoulder, he turns and sees a woman, "I haven't seen you in so long."
