300 years…
300 years she had been locked inside the cold diamond tower.
300 years of being educated by the finest masters in the known world.
300 years of solitude and isolation, with a single friend.
Each night, watching the stars and dreaming. Two crazy dreamers in their diamond tower, gazes fixed on the world outside. Two minds, thinking the exact same thought… Two human beings, waiting to escape their diamond prison. Waiting to live.
We believed we’d catch the rainbow,
Ride the wind to the Sun,
Sail away on ships of wonder…
300 years had been enough.
The hermits were let out, into the outside world. Toward the rainbow, the wind, the ships…And the pain, the suffering, the Sameness.
They knew about the misery; about the pain… Wasn’t that a small price to pay for freedom? So what if people are dying in the world? Each of them knew she was stronger than the weaklings.
It’s so easy to oppose something you have no understanding of…
The Real World. Their paths separated. She faced it with her head high, still following the dream.
When evening falls,
He’ll run to me…
She walked the world. And found no place of her own, no safe haven to return to. Being different was a burden. She had knowledge- she could have helped them, could have healed their pain…
She faced Sameness.
Sameness caught her off her carefully devised guard. It was the one thing no one had told her of in 300 years. It appeared to be a vital detail of The Real World, and a strong enemy. Whenever she got close to catching the rainbow, Sameness stood in her path. Sameness hated her. It hates all that don’t obey. It ruins their lives, until they’re as numb as the others. Until they’re reduced to seeing only shadows on the wall.
She laughed in the face of Sameness and kept on searching. The world was big, and no matter how strong, Sameness couldn’t be its only master. There had to be a place, where it has been defeated.
Then, out of the Sameness, along came he. Reeking of the foul “human disease”, as she was beginning to call it. Yet underneath the layers of sameness, she could feel the dreamer’s mind. In the deepest, darkest corners of his conscience, it had survived. Had he been fighting to save it? Or had Sameness just missed it?
Like whispered dreams,
Your eyes can’t see…
He touched her face and whispered in her ear. Everyone had the chance to choose which side to join. Sameness was easier, of course.
But life’s not a wheel
With chains made of steel…
He wanted to live as well. Underneath the night sky, two dreamers were staring at the stars. Waiting to change the world.
So bless me,
Come the dawn!
Yet the sunshine never comes with mere wishing.
And Sameness has always been strong, and it always will be.
They grew older, no longer cared about the world and its Sameness. It weakened when ignored.
And the ships came with the Dawn, in the only place unreached by Sameness- their minds.
