Rainbow Warriors

Nobody Can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I always thought a lot about that and space in general. I always thought about how much better a life I could have in space than I had here on earth.

It had been 30 years since covid hit the region we used to call China. We now refer to covid as the Original Virus as it ushered in thousands of plagues in the years to come. Before they used to call these time the end times but nothing has ended in the last 30 years we have just sort of maintained a steady decline in humanity, people got fed up and began to find scapegoats, everyone sticks to "themselves" except us, they call us the Rainbow Warriors and we have made it our mission to bring peace, love and light back to earth along with the healing of humanity, mother earth and her sacred ecosystem.

"Cynthia let's go" , I heard from up ahead, I snapped back into my current settings which were far more baron than my imagination would generally let me admit, dessert surrounded us with a slight glimpse of dumpster fires to light our way into the horizon, I could hear the screams of agony and pain all around us and in the cloak of darkness was without ability to help. The violence got bad during year five of the first pandemic, all the ups and downs, race wars, and just general discontentment for everything lead way to the bad times as we call it now, we would spend our days helping and our nights staying alive and this is how we would lead our lives until the bad times came to an end.

"Cynthia, !" my mother called me again

" Yes, Mom , I'm coming , I replied knowing that her and my older brother would begin to worry, I picked up my stride and made my way quicky to the rest of the group.

We never worried about the animals but some of the humans now had been taken over by hate, these humans mostly spent time at war with themselves , killing and harming each other to sate a horrific ego state. It was painful to watch but with the fall of nighttime and the recent blockage from the stars we had no guidance from our ancestors, from our creators out here in the dark. Keeping safe was always the best and only thing to do between the hours of dusk and dawn we would take care of each other and prepare our mind, bodies and souls for the work to come.

" Cynthia , my girl," my mother said to me as I met her stride and began walking with her. " You know it is dangerous out here at night, why are you always falling behind and getting lost in your thoughts, in the coming months you will have nothing but time to consider all that you love to think about but for now here on Earth we need to keep you alive, you and your brother are are guiding hope and we need to keep you both safe from harm.

We will rest at a nearby camp that one of our allies has just up ahead tonight, we will eat and rejuvenate, for this time tomorrow you and Cadian will be far above our planet on your way to the answers that await.!"

My heart in my stomach I kept stride with my mother and Cadian who seemed to be at total calm with the fact that in mere hours we both would be shot like an arrow from this plane of existence to the next on a quest to save humanity and receive the guidance that was blocked out when the bad times began and they took away our clear star lit skies.

"Cadian ?" I asked, why are you not scared, why do you not worry, if something were to happen in space to either one of us , how would anyone ever know, our screams would fall on deaf ears , no one can hear them in outer space ."

" Yes, I know ", he said, " but I also know what we were born to do, I also know what the world used to look like when green still touched the horizons, and children were allowed to laugh play and be free, as mother has always told us this is the only way, the wisdom of our ancestors is the only thing that will set us free" , as Cadian finished this sentiment I could feel the warmth of fire began to surround us and feel the familiar hum of safety and love, we had come upon a camp for other Rainbow warriors where we could take solace for another night.

As we were greeted warmly by many friendly faces, we started to feel at home and like we were well on our way to being safe. We ate and reset in the company of good friend's, wise elders and story tellers , we were reminded of the stories passed down for generations that foretold of these time, of Cadian and I , as the night began to wear on and my energy began to fade I welcomed sleep and peace.

I was awoken by the sounds of screaming and pain but this time these screams were not coming from far away, I opened my eyes to see a sight I never in my life imagined I would see but it was my mother covered in blood, for a few moments I couldn't even breath.

" Cynthia RUN!!, CADIAN IS UP AHEAD, go now its time my girl I could hear her say as she hit two men straight with her blade taking off not one but two heads, "Go , go my girl you two are are saving light go now , don't worry I will always be alright, this is my place in our battle go now my girl before its too late. Love and Like my sweet babies," I could hear her say underneath her tears, as I looked back and watched my mother killing men all around her it began to spark new fears.

As I made it up to Cadian and the rest of the group I realised soon enough it was going to be just us two, we would plummet into space on a craft I had ever seen, all the while images of my sweet and loving mother had been transformed , she was in fact a killing machine.

As the group neared the craft I could see Elders all around, it looked like a ceremony was being presented in honour of everything that was about to go down, Cadian and I were truth seekers and their were only ever two, brother and sister usually it was always a pair and their elders always guided them on what to do. We arrived to our ceremony took in a deep breath of the scent of sage, instantly I knew Cadian and I came to a safe place.

We were prepared , quickly there was no time for long and lengthy debated I had been readied my whole life for this moment I already knew what I was expected to do,the old times were over , Cadian and I would leave here and when we returned we would bring back something new.

We were readied in our space craft and quickly given any additional information before a rushed launch was upon us, everything was happening too quickly no more than 20 minutes ago I had just opened my eyes now I was fastened securely next to my brother and about to be shot out into the sky.

As the countdown finished I quickly felt fatigued we were already high enough above that when I looked out of the craft it was my mothers killings I could see, as we continued to shoot off into the pits of face I found myself thinking about the screams of my mothers victims deep in the vacuum of outer space.
