Of course. You will always be Trinity, now and forever. We'll find a way to deal with the other two.
... I'm glad to hear that. I love you, Cipher. Likewise, Trinity, I love you too.We kissed each other, quickly, still embarrassed to show our emotions physically.
The night moved on and we didn't talk for much longer before heading to sleep, as we were both incredibly tired. I dreamed that I was dreaming this entire situation, waking up to find out that school was starting as usual.
I woke up before I was ready come the morning, to hear a frantic rustling.
Where is it... where... oh dear oh dear... Trinity, what are you... oh... hello there.Sol flinched when she heard my voice suddenly address her.
Oh, Cipher. You're awake. Umm... I suppose you met my sister Luna. Did you know what she did with my cloak?Thinking back on it, I honestly don't remember. I would imagine that Luna got rid of the thing. Sol read my face and collapsed onto the ground, covering her body with her hands as though she were nude.
Eeek! How am I supposed to go outside like this... I need that cloak. Where did you even get that thing, anyway? I had never seen anything like it. I weaved it myself from the sunlight that peaks past the moon after an eclipse, it took me centuries to perfect the magic and design of it!... What design?
Why did you need sunlight from that specific... and how is one even supposed to... you know what, never mind. I'll have you know that sunlight's quality varies widely depending on all manner of conditions! You see, post eclipse sunlight is very bright and soft, it results in a very soft fabric which...... I zoned out as she continued to talk. I decided to interrupt her with a question of my own.
So I suppose you weren't amnesiac after all, huh? I had probably given it away today already, but I'm sure Luna had less than flattering things to say about me, too. I don't blame her, I suppose. In any case, it just felt so embarrassing to tell you right there and then. I was worried that you wouldn't believe me, either, and even if you did, well, you know... Luna just doesn't care about easing people into difficult situations, I suppose. In any case, you didn't have to lie. The worst part about all of this is that you led me on when it came to Trinity's location. I was worried sick. I'm deeply sorry, I just said the first thing that came into my head, you know, in order to keep you calm and all. It would have looked suspect if I simply turned around after all that persistence and told you that I had been lying not moments before. What good that did you. Yeah I know... I'm sorry... don't hate me, I just don't want you to panic... I never really intended to not forgive you, really, after all, I really don't have the energy to keep up any kind of animosity. Lets go look for that cloak of yours, it's probably back where Luna first took over. Will you be able to go outside like that? I suppose I'll have to... just give me a moment to mentally prepare.10 minuets later, we left the building. There didn't seem to be anyone outside, frozen or not. As we walked en route, I continued to ask Sol questions.
How do I look to you? Hair and eye colour, I mean. I suppose you didn't know that there was a mirror back there... uh, well, you have white hair and yellow eyes, just like me. Are you the one who supposedly has amnesia now?Why is it that since this started I never look the same to anyone? I'll have to ask Luna about this next time she surfaces, then again, I have a feeling that I might know the answer.
Never mind. I think the heat just got to my head back there.The silence didn't last for very long before I asked my next question.
So Trinity told me that she can perceive what's happening through both yours and Luna's eyes... Oh, so Luna let you see her last night? I love my sister but... I'm surprised. In any case, I go to sleep whenever Luna or Trinity is in control. Trinity must have a strong will to stay awake whilst her soul is compressed by two others in that manner. I hope she doesn't hurt me while I'm awake... ... We'll just have to wait and see.I had been saving this last question, because I knew it would generate quite a bit more discussion.
So, I guess this cycle really is continuing, huh? Please tell me you'll be out of Trinity soon. This ordeal will continue until you are ready to ascend to the sun with me, at which time I will leave Trinity, taking my little sister Luna with me. I can take you whenever you are ready. Or, I could go to the moon.It wasn't my intention to go there. But my immediate reaction to her baseless assumption immediately popped into my head.
Umm, yeah, I suppose you could, but why would you want to do that? I thought humanity's ultimate quest was to find a way for everyone to live peacefully, with no harm or strife. Why would you wish to undo countless centuries of evolution for no reason?I suppose Luna might say in this situation 'because we've been evolving in the wrong direction.' I, however, have different opinions.
In any case, my intention is to wait this out until either of you decide to return the world to normal. I don't want you two forcing your radical views down my throats. You don't hate me, do you? How cruel...Well, umm... Ugh... forget this.
I'm not entirely sure that I'm capable. Maybe if this were a different situation, we could be friends. Right now however you're simply in my way. ... Well, I'm not sure weather to be hurt or thankful. I know why this stressful but... I honestly don't know why someone wouldn't want to take up an opportunity to improve the world. For so long now, over human's evolution, I've never been able to fathom why some humans seem to actively reject my love...... I wondered if she was talking more about Luna than humanity as a whole. I don't get it either, but I still find myself in many situations rejecting love... except for, of course, Trinity's.
We arrived at the building again. This was definitely the place.
It's gone... I hope no one took it during the night, I can't imagine what Luna must have created for herself... makes me glad I go to sleep...She muttered to herself as she squatted and looked carefully all across the ground looking for it. I helped too, of course, but we couldn't find it.
I didn't want to say this before, but... I don't think I'll be able to head back to the sun without it. Well, that's also not true... truth is, if you decide to come with me, you'll need it to protect yourself on the journey before I'm able to modify your soul to live in the sun regularly. *Sigh* I don't feel as though I'm selling this place to you though. Luna must have had such great speeches planned to show you her world, I mean, she can make anything, no matter how horrific, sound great... if I had an ounce of that, maybe I could show you why this is the perfect world.I just knew she wasn't going to be satisfied until she came out with what she wanted to say.
Well, what thoughts are flowing through your head right now? Start from there. Don't over think it. Well as I said, I'm not sure why humans WOULDN'T want to live like this... how do I explain it... think about death. It's scary, right? Souls are generally reused elsewhere but... you always become something new and...She paused again, it seemed as though she was trying very hard to work out how best to convey this message. She quickly shook her head, as though telling herself to not over think it.
Do you remember when you and Trinity first fell in love? I'm sure it must have been one of the best moments in your life. But not all emotions are positive. For some reason people feel a need to be sad, too, and this, well, it saddens me as well... you are my people, I only wish for you all to be happy, so... eventually, there are lots of people who feel so sad that they feel a need to relive those old emotions, which were felt in rose tinted memories. I think nostalgia is the term I'm looking for. I think I should mention that every frozen person here has full access to their memories, they can relive anything they want... not the full event, mind, more the emotions. And they feel it just as strongly as they ever did. Everyone's goal in life is to be happy, right? I used to feel that it should be earned. Which is true, but some... well, they earn it, then they become content with it. Then they're just sad again, and they can't find a way to make themselves happy once more. I think everyone deserves to be happy, equal, why should they allow themselves to become sad for no reason? If people are frozen in time, they are happy. They can choose to remain happy forever, and, if anyone wants to be sad, and apparently some people do... well, if they're frozen, they can't bring down all the poor people who want to be happy. Humanity is always living in an attempt to become righteous. Only a few people bring them down... that's unfair. Um, sorry if that sounded weird... Don't you think people will get bored of just being happy all the time? I think people just want to feel accomplished, after enduring a lot of pain, not necessarily happy. The why are people already living in a world of nostalgia in your world? Day by day I see more people shut themselves off, content to relive their favorite memories again and again, captured and recorded inside their favorite books, games, and films, the same stories that bring them such comfort... if people want to feel accomplished after enduring pain, I believe it is only because they want to maintain their state of nostalgic happiness. An accomplishment is meaningless without a reward, and, for enduring since the dawn of the universe the pain and suffering brought on by the whims of chance, of sadness... of chaos... of Luna... then I think my people have more than earned their existence of eternal happiness!I tried to say something as I noticed that, in all of her sudden outburst of emotions, she had begun crying. She apologized hurriedly to me and ran off down the street.
Despite this, I smiled. I knew that there had to be some kind of thought behind her shy demeanor.
1) Follow Sol
2) Search for clues about Sol's cloak before following her.
3) Find a building and go to sleep.
