Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.
This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.
Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 24
Before I started my journey to meet the boss of the world, I had been alone forever.
I knew it, I knew I would be alone, with no woman in our tribe to ask me. Literal and figuratively, at least no asks in that way.
Certainly, they had been there, but I always had to reject them, my closed heart had no room for rent and I was very much aware.
This is not to say that I had never spent a night with a woman. In a community like ours, it is certainly no exception that a woman without a partner seeks solace among the free men of the tribe. Keeping the tribe and the bloodline alive is appreciated by everyone here, there is nothing strange about that.
And since Kyra, since Kyra I know that I can love. But this.
"Sei, you have the right to choose. But before I reject or accept your choice," I start hesitantly. "I strongly wonder whether it was not consciously or unconsciously forced by Margarita's stories."
"You think too much, old man. You get a beautiful stubborn green leaf thrown into your lap and you rear up like a foal that is being saddled for the first time."
I feel her laughing soundlessly at her own joke, like a real teenager.
"Of course, I do know certain things, And yes, knowledge can make a mess and ruin everything. But you must also know that I've been fertile for almost a full summer. And I know that I don't need you as a partner for the role I have to play." She looks at me with eyes far too wise for her age.
"It would have been enough to remain your adept and choose one of those country bumpkins from here as my partner."
"If it weren't for three things, I'm allergic to country bumpkins, I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life, and since what happened, there hasn't been a man who has made me feel as safe as I do with you Martio."
"Oh and don't pretend you're innocent, because I saw you look and look away because you were ashamed. Well, the latter is no longer necessary, if you accept me of course."
Seriously, how did she see that? Since when does she know? Did she notice it that first time in the cold...
"Yes, since the first time in that cold water," she gasps.
I'm so distracted by all these twists and turns that my doors are probably all wide open again.
"But Sei, I'm still..." I wanted to bring up the age gap. Even though I know itยดs not abnormal I do not want her to commit to an old man.
Sei turns around and sits on top of me, my chest wedged between her powerful thighs. She puts a finger on my mouth, "You talk too much old man, and you know, just like me, what's coming. At least if you listen carefully, you should be able to hear that by now."
She leans forward and replaces her finger with her lips.
Then it burns, then it flows, like lava through my veins.
I must have suppressed this for all those moons, I must have known that this was beneath the surface and would one day have to be released. But it wasn't allowed, it couldn't be, but it had to be this way, it was allowed to be this way.
I feel Kyra, I feel my sister, I feel my mother, I feel all the women I have loved in my life as I give in and kiss Sei back passionately.
My hands hold this young body, going places I would have never let them just a few hours ago. Places I must have known they wanted to go, because they find their way without any guidance.
Sei is as passionate as she is strong with words, but I feel she is holding back a little, and then so do I.
I look at her young face, there is no child anymore. When did she become this woman?
She rolls off of me, "Whatยดs wrong did I do something stupid?"
This is the first time I hear a hint of insecurity in her voice.
I look at her with my school teacher eyes for a minute:
"No Sei, that is not it." I try to sound strict and I see a slight shock in her deep dark eyes.
"Then what is it?"
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, "I accept Sei." And a big smile replaces my teacher's mask.
