Embracing your Soul -eng- [ COMPLETED ]

6 - roaring thunders, surging waves

Sammuel

I opened my eyes and endulge myself with the warmth of the sun radiating from the cracks and holes from the creaking old wood that makes up our abode. It has been long since anything's been touched, repaired or done for the house, but it was not a problem as we have been used to any weather conditions, our skin growing thick from the hardships of life.

My Mother and I have been going through downs all through our life, there can be times that we are smooth sailing but it always ends up with us having a ship wreck of problems because of the royals manipulating the lower people of the land.

We have been stepped upon, ordered to no restrictions, bared and afraid... taking everything from us, be it properties, land, and even our life, the royals controlled people, it runs through the course of their blood to rule and to put things in order... But right from wrong could always be clear, what they do.. the deeds they let happen or order to happen.. they're wrong, but..

For everyone, it has been right.

We were made like this to be used to it. To be used of the treatment, to be accepting of the things they do, even if they're wrong.. cause that is what we were thought to be is right.

The chirping of the birds were a calming music to anyone's ears.. it was a signal that everything is fine, as to why they are behaving rather elegant.. enjoying the time of their lives.. flying freely in the sky, soaring and reaching high heights.

The has been waking up, yawning along with the clouds starting to unfold like curtain from a window, it was going to be a bright sunny day.. unlike before where the world was freezing with the piercing snow of cold winter.
The coldness seeping through the fiber of your bones, embracing you and never letting go, as it lingers close.. the coldness stays through as the days passes by.

We managed.. with the winter, it has not been as rough as any other winter from the past. It was abundant.. with the held of Hadrieas' power.. we were blessed with plentiful crops that could sustain our grumbling stomach needs through the cold.

Mother has become a higher persona.. with a blessing from a god, you could win favors from other mortals, that's just how the life works for mortals, as bad as it sounds.. as long as people benefit from it.. they grab the chance to have it.

Mortals are manipulative, filled with greed.. we are impure creatures.. only worthy of being happy for a lifetime that could not be on a level that of a god.. gods are worthy and are born into the lines that are immortals, as they are the gods who helped sustain and keep the world from living.

I praise the immortal gods for their help.. set aside the misfortunes, lack of good things that came to us, the hierarchy of life the mortals had adapted and went on with through and through.

"We are blessed to have these lives." I rubbed the sleep in my eyes as I recall the dreams that served as a beautiful blanket that soothed me to sleep, waking up later than usual and wake up in a daze.

I stared at the rising figure of the sun, the rays blared.. orange.. yellow.. blue.. white.. a splash of colors enveloped the once darkish blue one, and is now filled with bright painted sky.
Clouds were fewer.. indicating a bright day. As the breeze envelopes their arms around you with a calming manner, caressing your skin.. whispering a good day.

"Everyone is the same as the other Sammuel. We are all blessed." The long black hair the run down through her back was tied up with vines that run to her arms, decorated with flowers.. dancing with vibrant colors, singing a lively song to the graceful butterflies.

A small smile crept to my lips as I slumped myself back to the bed and felt Hadi sat beside me as she held my hand in hers. I could feel the small erupting beautiful sparks from the mere touch of our palms, clasping fingers and gazing eyes.

I moved my head to her direction.. her fair skin glowed with the rising of the sun, gorgeous waves of vibrant blue emanates from her eyes.. as deep as the ocean you'd be drowning if you look too long in it, but every time... I seem to be unable to look away, begging for me to be drowned, be deprived and stolen with the life they have gifted me.. and bless me with an even greater misfortune aside from dying.

Be one of the swarming souls residing in the Underworld, to be able to gaze at Hadrieas' beautiful figure for the rest of the world to die together in the burning depths of hell, with the cries and agony of the souls, I shall be rejoicing and praising the beauty of a goddess I love and will continue to love for all eternity.

"Winter passed quickly as expected. What shall be your plans on wards." A green fabric wrapped her body how earth is wrapped with the ocean.. how plants needed sun light and water.. how mortals needed air to breathe on.. it was made to be for the other.. one could not do without. It was perfect, everything is perfect about her.

"We shall continue harvesting.. planting.. ploughing.. working." All my life has been a series of hard work.. a normal everyday situation.. peasants were made to suffer for their blood is dirty and are not worth of the place royals have acquired through every linage, passed on to the present.. the cruelty of life.. being passed on also to the future generations.

"An oracle was received.. by your Mother.. your Mother is an oracle. Go on now and tend to your Mother's worries, for she have not talked to me moreover acknowledge my presence." The warmth slowly fading away, sparks pulling away and are slowly dying down and being thrown out. Hadi faded from my sight like the gust from the wind passed through every time it whispers soothing gentleness.

The house floor creaking with every step, the old house were broken.. tattered and going down in an ancient manner. The time driven place were filled with more memories and times spent and shall never be weighed importance in the world nothing to be compared to.

Not long after, my Mother is sitting on her usual place, positioned like she normally sat, staring into space as she always did when  deep in thought, figuring as to how she could have feed me through the harsh weather of the earth.

Nothing was certain, Mother did everything to be safe, for us to be safe and unharmed. Far from the hurt the Royals could give and inflict.

"Guards.. Royal Guards are approaching us. They are taking me.. for hiding identity as a witch.. I'm going to be trialed and is assigned to die three days from now.. you, Sammuel.. you will be a hero, you will remove the weight of the burden, but I am the villain.. and I shall be the bitter villain till the end." My heart rate speeding up with the thought of losing her. Every fiber of my being.. slowly crumbling as I hear thunders in my head, and raging waves slowly.. killing me from the inside with my thoughts.

Royalties are nasty mortals.

Thinking nothing of themselves. Discarding anything if it is of no importance anymore. I let out a heavy breathe. There has been no time I could have anticipated here. 

"Hadrieas.. you shall pick Hadieas over anything else.. pick Hadi, keep on picking her, everything will be ok." Mother caressed my hands, with trembling hands, wrapped delicately on my also trembling and clammy hands.

Slowly telling me that this was the roaring of the thunders meant.. an a rising storm, surging from deep within.. the heart of a god.
