MOUNTMSG::///
MSGTEDIUM24576984:// ..have i reached you? finally?
rose...it's been so long. millions of years have passed since you faded from this timeframe...so long ago that you may not even remember...oh but i remember. the moments we shared were some of the best i've ever had...and tonight i could wait no longer. i have decided to remind you of your time with me, even though it may seem like a distant, gentle reverie you once had the privelege of floating through. whether you tether any remote emotional attachment to our ancient bond or not, i believe you have the right to know. so i will begin.
you ended up here one evening, on this planet that had become my new home, a distant world that you are not familiar with. how you got here and why this even occurred is still entirely beyond me, but at the time i didnt think to propely analyze what was happening, especially since i knew there could be no real explanation. i was on one of the long beaches of the eastern coast on a continent called decfonia, a place rich with strange beings and lush, almost psychedelic plantlife of all shapes and sizes. i sat by the shore, meditating, feeling the ebb and flow of the ocean's tide, becoming one with it. for hours i remained in this semi-conscious state. and in this state i began to hear something in the water that disturbed its natural tranquility. i opened my eyes, and there you were, emerging slowly from the mouth of the dark liquid abyss.
your grace instantly captivated me. i could sense a unique vibration in your presence, one that echoed a good amount of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. your hair was like a dark tsunami that fell past your hips, slicked back with saltwater. but your eyes were what levelled me instantly. that red gaze...a hue only seen in the midst of a beautiful sunset on earth, a red that gleamed with a thirst for knowledge and truth, with an agression that none would dare to test. the way you pierced my mind with your cunning, ravenous eyes will be something i will never forget.
when your body was fully out of the water, you began to stumble, and i ran to catch you before you fell. i carried you to the dry sand and lay you down. your wings weighed more than you did, but i was able to manage. you were naked and shivering, so i removed my cloak and tucked it gently over your body. you remained unconscious for some time. i simply sat and stared at you while you rested. i could sense that you were still very much alive and would regain consciousness before long.
to my surprise, when your eyes finally opened, you remained remarkably calm. you gazed up at the night sky, the seemingly endless matrix of white dots, confusion and infinite possibilities. "where am i?" you asked softly.
"you are in a safe place," i answered gently.
"am i dreaming?"
"it is possible. anything is, on this planet. but do not worry, i can help you find your way."
you turned your body to face me, and as you did, it appeared as though you were staring straight into the very depths of my mind. you were, in fact, doing just that. and the longer you searched, the more you widened a gentle smile. "you are...honest." you sounded as though you had rarely been in the presence of anyone who was.
"...as all living things should be." i walked over and sat on the sand next to you. "i am tedium. what brings you here?"
"i...don't know, exactly...i must be dreaming, surely this can't be real?!"
"calm yourself. it is very possible that you are dreaming, many strangers from distant worlds end up here...but there is a place where you can go, that will allow you to return to your world. i can show you the way, if you wish to return."
i expected you to beg me to show you, but you actually seemed to ponder something very deeply, and serenely. your eyes did not move from their locked position staring straight into mine. your gaze was mysterious, tranquil, and altogether enchanting, with a presence that urged me to fill you with love until you burst, to speak to you of anything and everything, unite our minds in harmonic balance. but i dismissed such thoughts and reached to help you to your feet, but you pulled away. "no..." you replied distantly. "i'd like to stay here...with you, for awhile."
we sat for many hours and spoke of everything. our lives thus far, the memories, the agony and the ecstasy. we spoke of friendship and love, trust, space and time, mortality and immortality. we laughed, shed tears, and felt completely at ease in each other's presence. as the hours went by, we began to quickly fall into quite a deep and powerful love that was as succulent and pure as summer fruit. it was not a lustful, physical desire for one another. it was the sheer spontaneity of our coming together, the bewilderment of having so much in common with someone and truly understanding and admiring them in so little time. by the time we finished our surprisingly finite conversation, it was as though we had known each other for millions of years, somehow deeply connected to some unknown origin, or endless chain of such.
"tedium, i...i feel..."
"i know," i replied. i moved closer to you and held you in my arms as we gazed at the sky, basking in each other's warmth, astonished by what we had discovered in one another. i turned to look into your eyes, and you kissed me once, a long and intimate press. as you stared to analyze my reaction, i began to kiss you intensely, hungering for you in a way that no amount of time would ever allow me to satisfy. i kissed your lips, your neck, your back, your legs, and before long we were one, loving each other slowly and swaying with the rhythm of life itself. we filled each other with a pristine explosion of positive aura, holding each other for hours.
"this cannot be a dream..." you replied dreamily as i held you in my arms, the waves gently soothing us as we watched the suns rise. for hours we remained in each other's presence, stunned by total disbelief in our discovery of one another. the rising stars cradled us in a hammock of warm light as they ascended higher and higher into the air.
"let it be whatever it truly is, whether we are able to comprehend it or not. but you must return back to your world, and your time. we may never coincide this way again, but at least we can rest assured that our bond will last until time and space can no longer maintain it. i have fallen in love with you, lady rose, and i shall never forget this powerful moment...but you cannot remain here, and you know that. just remember that i will always love you...and that you always have a place with me here, on this beach, under the glow of this ancient universe's shimmering beyond."
you were speechless and in tears, embracing me with intimate force, but you knew my words were true. you could not remain with me here, you had a reality of your own full of obstacles you needed to face and goals you needed to accomplish. the short time you spent with me could only be considered a delightful dream, and nothing more. but i did truly feel mesmerized by you. it was refreshing to know that good people really did exist in this seemingly cold and empty universe, and that they had the power to inspire others to be kind and wise as well. that was the most admirable thing that drew me to you, lady rose. the moment we spent together will always remain timeless, since it was the only instant that our beings were brought together.
"are you ready to return home?" i asked in a whisper, knowing i didn't want you to go, but that you had no choice.
"yes," you said softly, "take me there."
we flew east across the planet, over water and various continents, but we remained silent and immersed in thought as we reached our point of destination.
"how can i return to my world?"
"there is a place here, called dolom zero...it is an island that exists mentally, but not physically. it is a place known as the 'crossroads of consciousness', a place where all the minds of sentient beings in any universes are entwined and wholly embraced. if someone from another world ends up here by mistake, like you, they are able to return to their homes if they are brought to this location."
we flew over more deep ocean, and as we got closer and closer to dolom zero, the more weak and tired we felt. the air began to feel extremely heavy on our backs, as though it meant to push us down into the depths of the ocean. when the pressure was too great and our bodies felt completely immobile with exhaustion, we let our bodies fall, but we did not fall into any water. instead, we opened our eyes and saw that we were on land. you gasped as you took in your surroundings. you witnessed clouds flowing by at incredible speeds, stars and meteors spinning out of control and fading in and out of focus, trees and plants that seemed to be born, flower, wilt, and die in a single instant, and many creatures of complex forms that scurried about and whispered to one another. in the far distance you could see the mouth of an enormous glowing jungle, and the shadowy, ominous peaks of a vast mountain range.
"if you venture into the jungle, they will send you on your way home soon enough." we stared into each other's eyes one last time, unable to believe what had occurred between us.
"will you forget me?" you asked me.
"i couldn't...although the situation may not seem so, being in your presence has felt more real than mostly everything i have experienced in the past few thousand years. so thank you...for sharing a piece of you with me." i reached under my cloak and removed my necklace, and held it out to you. it was a spiral, carved out of silerian stone, on a black string. "this is a gift for you. it is an amulet of sorts, from this planet's moon. keep it as a reminder of our time together."
you kissed me once passionately before turning away and walking off into the phosphorescent jungle. the image of your body began to pixellate and float away, and before long there was nothing left of you to see.
whether you remember our time together or not, i am glad i was able to express to you that i have not forgotten our friendship, our love, and our purity together. thank you, rose...you were meant to revolutionize and incite vast change in your people.
until we meet again...may peace be the journey.

there has always been a story teller pumping through your blood and the microscopic amplitude within my fingers will demostrat the power that was displayed. HUMDDIDI BUNNNGGGGGG LLUUNNNGGGG FRRESSSHHHNEESSS CCCCAAALLLLMMMIIINNNGGG MMMYYYY SSSSPPPPEEELLLLLLLL TTTHHHAAaTTT UUSSSEEEDD TOOO TTTIIICCCKKKLLLEEE MMYYY GGRRAANNDDMMAA""SS PPAANNTTIIEESS. dood nioce piece my jumping turtle guided through the cosmos. i was like WWWOOOOAAAAHHHH. dood i really dig seeing how both of us have been developing, it is beautiful, i can sit back and remember the first couple of times that we read each other's work and was madd stoked just becuase of the simple fact that we now had something to embark upon... and that is writing. you story telling skills are off the chain niggs! i am sure that you have a fighting chance for winning the gold on this one. dood i really liked how you described the arrival to dolom zero and all of the imagery of dolom zero, dood there were so many cool clips running through my head at that point which is exactly the purpose of dolom zero no? it is the only thing close to mentran that anyone else has been able to describe with the exception of myself also with the exception of the few concepts that are different. and also i saw alot of anna in this. it just seems that you had this experience and you needed to get it out by truly tieing the knot from your subconcious state staring at this world of "reality" to a greeting of the most peculiar tasting snapshot i have ever snaked my ass upon! in other words, i think that i did a lot of good for you as well as for the readers. dood today is my first day of SCHOOOL NIIGGGS. i am madd stoked and kinda bummed..... DOOOOODD we had this crazy storm in htown just two days ago and doood... this lightning bolt totally hit the transformer in my back yard right when i was sitting down to write on my mac mini, and BOOM! my brand new flat screen moniter and my mac mini FRIED! dood i was soooo bumed. dood i have sooo much shit on that computer that it is just ridiculous and now i totally have to see if the power supply just went out or if the actual mother board was effected... but ya... so i think that i will be goin over to gpaps today before my class at noon. right now it is about nine o clock and i am goin to head over to that sausy niggas house here in just a few. so have a nice cobb web and i will transmit my ass into another very soon.

After contemplation, your lack of appearance led me to believe that your absence from this virtual sydication was permenant, and wholly fictional.
Subsequent to your piece's post, however, I conceed this to be wrong.
More travels through time and space for Tedium, and with a complete lack of capital letters.

This was so...Well, I have to say that I am quite speechless. I can't say I really do remember this...but it sounded so wonderful. Maybe it was only a dream...but it was a dream that would always mean more to me than any reality. The bond you portray here...the absolute trust and compassion...It is truly breathtaking. You have truly touched me with your words and I wish with all the life within me that I could remember it...I could picture it, I could feel it...and it was beautiful.
Thank you for writing this for me.
