The Enlightened Ones

Chapter 7 Pt. 1: "The Fountain of Life"

POV: Aquarius I

(Present Day)

Have you ever had a dream that was so hard to remember that you tried to just forget you had it in the first place? I have and yet I continue to dream the same dream, over and over. The thing is that I keep seeming to remember a little more each time. I can see several individuals everytime, some together while others seemed to be just beyond my ability to view clearly. This was the case up until recently when I started to realize that I could see the other's blurred images ever more clearly in my mind. So much so that I started seeing them when I wasn't dreaming; all of them. There is a young man father of one and his lover, two brothers just as determined as he and a girl; maybe a sister? Beyond that a twin of one of the brothers and even more

interesting there are the two that are usualy clouded from my sight but now I can see that their path draws very near to the others. These two seem to be female but one can never truly tell when viewing through one's mind, it has a way of messing with the current image you have created or rather discovered.



I often ignore these flashes and dreams but today I can't. The images

continue to become clearer. I am of house Aquarius and it is in my nature to observe and most likely accept those that I encounter. My name is Omar Escobar and I am about to leave my home; the House of Aquarius. The house has been beckoning me to listen to its urging concern all week. While I'm not lazy I'm so not ready for this. I am no stranger to challenge but I just find this to be out of my element. I have traveled quite far in my short time and I am ready to brave any obstacle on the journey but I have just been tired lately. The house however does not beckon this long and definitely not with this much urgency. And so I think I'll call the only member of the individuals in my dreams that I actually know. But, in order to do that I will have to ask my



house for a favor before I depart. "La agua esta Aqui!" I yelled. The house, AEA for short responded with a sudden opening of the windows. Air rushed in and nearly knocked me off my feet. You see my house did not speak like many others. It was not always this way. I know this because before I was born my parents told me of the many conversations they would have with AEA. They say that I too spoke with AEA but I don't remember because I was so young. My parents remind me often that I should be leaving to find my own way anyway because this is the age of Aquarius and while it has little meaning to



me they seem to be pushing me toward a destiny I do not understand nor question which sends me in circles in my head. What really matters is that AEA seemed to be saying yes. AEA eventaully let another gust of air into the house carrying with it an urn. I had never seen it before but I remembered a while back when I was in highschool that a close friend of mine had spoke about one in his house. It seemed to be a replica rather than the original. It was floating in midair shifting from side to side. As I approched it began to glow white and then sky blue. I didn't even hesitate as I reached for it I saw



my friends face quite clearer than ever before. It then showed me everything he'd been through since my absence and then my own reflection and in it I could see my eyes beginning to turn the same type of blue as the urn. I began to smile slightly as this had never happened before. I gripped the urn and was

transported through a space I can only describe as time itself. I could see where it was I was going. It was his exact location and then I could see myself again. My skin was tanned, my hair was still wavy and past my ears dark as the sky at dusk and my eyes were glowing white except in my left eye was my own house symbol. Before I reached my destination I let go of the urn with one hand and saw the Gemini symbol upon it and smiled again. At least I would not be alone on this journey and it would be in good trusted company.



I welcomed the arrival of an adventure unlike any I had undertaken before. I wondered what Ayinde would think of my discovery of the Fountain of Life? I

suppose we'll find out! Oderre guey!
