A Mother's Love

Upon arrival back to the island Amora and Peter were met by Ragog who was excited to see them.

Being on the island by himself made him long for the companionship he once knew with Lous. After a short discussion which they told Ragog about going to dinner at least once a week at Peter’s parent house they headed to the rock that over looked Mermaid lagoon to watch the sunset. When they got to the location Amora and Peter shared the rock for sitting, while Ragog took up position on the ground in front of the rock. In silence they started to watch the sun set beyond the horizon as it appeared to sink slowly into the ocean water. The silence was broken by the mental voice of Mister Blue who said “The sunset is a thing of beauty to behold. The sun gives up brightening the sky with its light so that the stars may shine down their jewel like presence. It is the most visual meaning of the Balance. During the light of day there is the shadow and at night the stars light the darkness with their brilliance. It show the Balance as it is. Light cannot exist without darkness and so darkness cannot exist without light. They are equal but different.” Amora and Peter turned to see Mister Blue standing behind them. Ragog got up from his position in front of the rock and ran to the other side to observe Mister Blue.

The sun sank beyond the horizon with a reddish hue that gently faded away and the night with all its stars and moon took control of the sky. Mister Blue turned towards Ragog and spoke only to him mentally “Ragog these children will need guidance and protection and I am asking you to take on this responsibility.

The time has arrived for me to become one with the Balance and I cannot go until I know they will be watched over and guided by a proper hand. I know that the Garrison have done everything humanly possible to protect Peter and will continue to do so, as well as Amora and the Lost Boys, of that I have no doubt. But these children will need more than they can offer and you shall make up the difference.” Ragog looked surprised and mentally responded “I do not have the knowledge or the abilities to do as you ask.” Mister Blue responded “I will give you the knowledge and talents to fulfill the commitment that I ask of you.” He then reached out mentally to Ragog’s mind and gave him all the knowledge that he possessed in his mind. In Ragog mind a whole new understanding of himself and the raging eternal conflict of the Balance between light and darkness was born. He now knew his place in this existence that he lived and how it added to the Balance to make it whole.

Peter and Amora then heard the mental voice of Mister Blue and he said “Destiny has set your paths in life to be challenging but fulfilling. Together you will face great obstacles and trails that will test your morals and understanding of life. You are both in the light of the Balance and you must let it guide you if you find yourselves lost within the darkness of it. You have both come a long way in understanding it but there are things that you will learn about it that you both have not experienced. Peter let Amora guide you at times for she understands much better than you what makes up the Balance. Not so long ago I told you both that you were meant to be together. It was destined to be so that both your realities could be brought back into harmony with the Balance. You two must go forth and bring the people of your worlds to a better understanding of what it means to be human. You must educate them in the ways of the light and darkness that makes up the Balance. For you know that these forces must be in constant conflict to creates the chaos the makes up the realities we exist in. I have passed on all the knowledge of my race to Ragog so that he may guide and protect you in times of trouble. Peter your parents love you and would give their lives to protect you Amora from harm, but they are human and can suffer greatly from adversaries that you are destined to face.

You must guard them from harm for your greatest strength come from the love they share for you as a family.

It keeps alive the small amount of life essence of your birth mother, Fawn, that she shared with you. She is one with the light of Balance and through her you can achieve things beyond your imagination.” Peter and Amora both understood fully what Mister Blue was telling them and they had both thought long and hard on these matters he mentioned, but they did not understand why he was telling them this.

Amora was the first to respond and asked “We know what you are saying is in truth facts that we have contemplated, but why are you so adamant in telling us these things?” Mister Blue turned his gaze to the night sky and for a moment he just stared at the beauty that he saw there. He then looked back at Peter, Amora, and Ragog and responded “There comes a time in every living thing existence when they must pass from the material world into the spiritual and become one with the Balance. We all must face this fact as living creatures. My time in this existence has come to its end and I must take this journey to the beyond.” “But what about your physical body that is lying in a secret location? They will be able to access it and do with it what they have been trying to do since they obtained it?” asked Peter. Mister blue smiled and responded “When my life essence passes into the realm of light within the Balance my physical remains will be transported back to my home planet. As I pass the people of my house will sense its passing and know that my life’s journey has ended. They will retrieve my remains and see that it is properly cared for and placed within the tomb of my house with my ancestors.”

Just as the last of his words were heard by Amora, Peter and Ragog a brilliant white light engulfed the figure of Mister Blue. They saw him raised his arms to the heavens and once more gaze upon the night sky in all its beauty. The light that engulfed him brighten slowly until they could no longer see his figure within it or even gaze upon its brightness. The glow transform into a pillar of light that reached up into the infinite darkness of the night sky and appeared for a moment to become the brightest star that hung in the empty blackness of the universe. Together Amora, Peter and Ragog watched as it faded away to nothingness as Mister Blues life essence was absorbed into the spiritual realm of the Balance. Upon each face of the three observers of his passing a single tear appeared and ran down the length of their faces. A great sorrow darkened their hearts at the loss, but was soon replaced by a warm joy that filled their minds with memories of all Mister Blue had done for them. They sat in silence for a long time and let the warm of the joy they felt overwhelm the darkness in their hearts.

Amora reached out and took Peters hand in hers and placed her other hand on the top of Ragog head and oral spoke and said “We are who we are and we cannot change that fact. We have been given a mission in life that is not an easy one, but I know together we will face it and all its challenges and come out triumphant. We must not forget that we are no better than those we have been chosen to watch over and educate for we are all human in nature. We share the same weakness as they do and we must guard ourselves from letting this weakness overcome our mission. We must walk the line between the darkness and the light of the Balance for it is there that we will find the answers that we seek. For the answers we seek lies within the place that a mother’s love for her child resides.
