Amber "V" Moonstone

I am safely dropped onto the earth. I do not know where I am. It is a strange land, with different types of trees and plants. I have never seen this type of vegetation before. Where are my people? What has happened? I walk aimlessly, wandering about the land, trying to find a familiar person or place. I cannot remember anything...I find a cave to sleep in. It is empty and dark and very cold. I curl up and fall asleep. The bright sunlight awakens me. I stretch and find myself alone and in a foreign place. I see bright sunshine and hear the sound of water. I walk outside of the cave and discover the ocean. I run toward that sound of waves crashing onto the shore and jump in to cleanse my body. The warmth of the water soothes my scratched arms and legs. The burns I received from the fire, sting from the salt of the water, but at the same time feels so good. I am surprised that I feel happy all alone. I feel a pull to walk toward the cave and try to start a fire.   As I look around for kindling wood, I see a man standing in the distance, watching me. I begin to walk toward this stranger. He is tall, and white. So unlike the men of my tribe. He has fair skin and fair colored hair, with the most brilliant blue eyes that shine as he smiles at me. I cannot see past his smile. He extends his arms outward as if he knows me. "Who are you?" I say to him, He boldly says, "I am your husband, come back to me, Katherine". I look at him, "I am Karena, Eagle Medicine Woman." He becomes angry and he grabs me, and ties my hands together. He says to me, "You are coming with me, now let's go". I cry out for Tomas again, and now he gags me with his handkerchief. I begin to panic, for I do not know what to do. I gather my senses and send out energy to the Great Spirit. I send him a signal that I am in trouble and beckon for my Eagle Spirit Guide. Just as I was losing hope, sure enough, My eagle is swooping down toward us.

I am separated from my world. I fly over the trees of the forest and the waters of the great lake. I know that I have passed over to the Others and am in their guiding embrace. But, they will not allow me to land. They will not allow my spirit to make the complete journey with the elders. I must stay as a spirit of this world for one purpose. I must guide and protect my lost love from her new journey. Not until she has completed her path walk will I be able to be reunited with her once again. I will not, I can not let go of our memories. They are my light through this darkness. They are my shield against the dark spirits of this world, where I am trapped. I long to kiss her lips and see her beauty. It is the only thing that keeps me from wanting to fly right into the sun and burn like a dry twig in the fire. Karena, I will be there for your call. I promise to respond when you call my name. I will fly forever in the lost space between worlds until you complete your path and we can again be one in spirit and soul. The elders have said it will be so. They have foretold of our journeys and our coming together once more.....
