He had spent many lifetimes getting to this. Made it through
the speed-up successfully with the others, to be born again into the world he
had taken part in the creation of. A world many light-years away from Earth, which
knew of Earth and could hear in dream the struggle going on there, something they remembered and recognised.
His twin sister had not followed his path in previous
existences. But she had been born, nonetheless, alongside him, and the elders
knew it was important. They couldn’t know how, but in the same way that every
living being on the planet spinning round what the Earthlings in the now times
knew as Sirius-B, they had come to understand that everything that is,
is good. So it was accepted and welcomed, yet not entirely understood.
They had ideas about it though.
And she had insisted on joining him, not unexpectedly, and
something in him would not leave without her, even though it could not be
expressed in the little language they had left to share with each other. The
elders knew it too, and could not refuse the request, that particular part of
the grammar having been done away with eons previously.
So she joined him on his journey, their travels across space
and time in the blink of an eye to be born again on the Green Mother for the
purposes of joining, nothing less.
