Heathens

A New Tale.

The sound of tree's rustling deafened our surroundings.

We kept running, running from a future we knew would happen. The entire essence of why we were here became obvious; we were here as the beginning of the end.

We were here to corrupt not to defend, we were here to instill power not love.

Small drops of poison to the already pure element.

We were not the key but rather a pair cuffs, ready to imprison many.

"I think they headed North!" A voice instructed.

"They're not getting away, let's just circle the premises. They want to play, let's indulge." A man with a much more deeper tone ordered.

The deafening rustle turned into a screeching reminder.

"They were close."

I turned to face my own two brothers. One with glowing amber eyes, the other with a darker resonance of tinted green. We all but nodded, each of us clearly understanding the plan before us.

In an instance, the tree's bended, circling our entire area.

The men's pursuit stopped. You could faintly make out the aggressive arguments and decisive planning.

Not wasting time, we each grabbed hands, we weren't going to destroy our home, with all our memories, adventures and combined bonds.

This, this rock, this piece of carbonated matter that obtruded to what it is, is something to be protected but if not by us then by the future generations.

"Please, let them be safe and let them understand."

Our bodies radiated to our own individual auras. Mine, a cold stark gray. My second youngest brother, a bright fluoresce of a tainted amethyst, the other a pure white gold mixture.

We were merging, merging into what would of been our respective forms.

An acute willow tree. A symbol of our abilities, our personalities and our real home.

Our entire bodies became translucent, a clear astral like symbiont that's attempting to become one.

With the last of our physique contorting, I quickly looked beyond the high cliff and peered onto the vast civilization.

"Even though I couldn't experience it, even though we couldn't see it, I want our brothers and sister's to experience what Earth is. Let us see and experience along side you."

With tears enveloping in my eyes, I couldn't help but muster a quiet laugh.

"What would a senior tell to his freshman's?"

"This is going to be the worst yet best experience of your life."

With that, we fused together, a twenty foot in length and thirty in width willow tree stood prominent.

The leaves we created grew rapidly, small embryo's of hope and excitement attached. The leaves soon blew forward, into the unknown.

Small rays of light would soon brighten up this enclosed world.
