The Final Chapter

The Final Chapter

2342…the world we once knew…nothing more than a barren land of mountains, rubbish, carnage…is this what they warned us about? Is this the final chapter?

I am Luna; a warrior, a fighter. A woman who has fought her entire life through the battle of simply living in society. I grew up feeling much like an alien; at one point I was convinced I must have come from another dimension, yet for some reason I am here on Earth. It was mind boggling to me for the longest. I spent many years studying human behavior; observing, listening, but essentially staying quiet. I never enjoyed being seen, mainly because everyone would stare at me as if I had a unicorn’s horn growing out of my forehead. Maybe I did and I just couldn’t see it. I wouldn’t be surprised, I’ve seen stranger things. I’m only wearing a costume after all . This body I’m in, this isn’t me. I’m in a costume. Call me a circus clown if you must, but it’s my truth. Shed off every layer of my physical being and see what’s left, the real me; the weirdo, the alien…the goddess in actuality. This goddess is here for a reason…

I am here, face to face with mounds of rubble that was once my beautiful land. Nothing has survived. Strings of fabric dangling off my body like I’m living in ancient times with the cavemen. Not even shoes on my feet. I feel humbled…but incredibly lonely.

What happened to my life? Everything transformed, as if like magic. I remember the bright flashes of light, the ground shaking uncontrollably, the blinding clouds of smoke bounding to every particle in the atmosphere…I cannot breathe. Truly convinced this was the end, I thought I was witnessing my own death. Feeling helpless as my mind cannot possibly fathom what is going on around me, I collapse to the ground. I’m ready…just take me in…suffocate me and release me from this outer shell so I can return to my homeland, my original dimension…please.

I look around, hoping to find another human…anybody. I see no one. How did I survive? Why me? I slowly take a step, inching my way forward not knowing what may be waiting before me over the gravel and debris. A grey sky above my head, sun barely peeking through, I feel like I’m in a horror movie…yet it’s real, it’s all so real. From a distance, I see something gleaming atop a mound of rubble. Something inside of me lit up at the sight alone, like an ignited flame in the center of my chest. I felt an immediate urge to find out what this shimmering object was. Feeling weak, but heavily determined, I made my way over to the pile of rubble. Clawing away at the surface until I could break it down just enough to reach the object at the top. What is this? Taking what’s left of my shirt, I used a bit of fabric to rub off this object, in the hopes that my mind can create a better image of what I’m looking at…and in that same moment…

…The clouds of grey in the sky broke apart, revealing the brightest light I think I’ve ever witnessed in my life shining down upon me. My eyes were encaptivated by the images flashing before me. I cannot explain this. I heard no words, yet I received a message very clearly…

This gold heart shaped locket…so beautiful…so pure. When I held it in my hand, I felt love; nothing but pure, unconditional love. The strongest force I’ve ever felt in my life, all in the palm of my hands. In that same instant, I knew. I suddenly knew why I was here…full of so much life while surrounded by so much loss. I’m here to serve my purpose. This locket held the truth, the truth to humanity, the truth to survival…the truth that nobody has ever known. So why me? Anybody could’ve found this; but it was me, right here, right now, so perfectly aligned with the universal forces that have directly guided me to this locket…but it could not be opened – not by me anyway. That was my challenge. The message I received enlightened me about my path, the path I need to take to reveal what’s inside this heaven-sent locket. Somewhere in this deserted land was my twin, by no means biological; more like in an interdimensional sense, I had a twin. My twin was my key, as he too had a golden heart shaped locket. We are here for a reason, a critical one in fact; as it has become aware to me that I am here to restore humanity, but this was only possible through the union of me and my twin. My love, how can I find you?
