Colours appeared at different points, vertically, along Ywoth and Tgthiem’s bodies: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and indigo. Energy built up around them, individually, then expanded to meet the others’ energy field. It was a brilliant vibration of colour, surrounding the men and the ritual.
They started muttering in a strange tongue Mischia had never heard before, and she was transfixed, fascinated by what she was seeing. Never before had she seen anything like it, even on television; it was totally extraordinary.
And getting to her. Mischia was hypnotised. And her perception of the situation changed then.
She began to accept it.
After what seemed like half an hour of muttering in a very foreign tongue, Ywoth and Tgthiem stopped and left the room, followed by a very different Mischia, the majority of whose fear had been transmuted into a acceptance.
When she woke up, she felt the same. Where was her fear? She wondered. The panic? What had happened to her? Why was she feeling so calm?
The part of her which was asking these questions was stuck at the back somewhere, because in the foreground, was a new Mischia, who had accepted all that was happening, and was experiencing her emotions through a peaceful sense of calm and acceptance.
She went to the kitchen and found Tgthiem and Ywoth deep in conversation, she stood watching them for a few moments, taking them in, and looking at them through the eyes of someone who no longer feared them.
‘What was that?’ She asked.
Ywoth looked up first, but Tgthiem answered. ‘Someone from Wymasiriah will be joining us very soon.’ he said, straight to the point.
‘You mean, someone from your Planet is on their way here and into that body, right now?’ Asked Mischia, taking a seat. ‘Yes.’
‘Wow,’ she nodded ‘So all the stuff about space ships and aliens isn’t true then?’
‘Oh, it is true. Other beings chose to come to Earth in their own bodies, using contraptions from their own worlds, but it takes ‘time’ to travel through the Universe with dense objects, for us, it’s just not worth it.’
‘What do you mean ‘time’?’
‘Simply that, it’s quicker this way.’
Why was she so calm all of a sudden? Where was the urge to run? To scream?
‘So the bodies you’re using were once dead?’ She asked, after a while.
‘Yes.’ Said Tgthiem.
‘Oh. So how long will it take to arrive?’
‘Depends, can be a little like a normal birth, it takes a while for the soul to get used to a body again, and it will need time before it can begin to use it properly.’
‘So that person – I mean, Being, is going to be like a baby for a while?’
‘In a way, but not for too long. She’ll adapt very quickly.
That’s why we choose to use adult bodies as opposed to Ella Roberts children or babies.’ said Tgthiem.
‘How come you have supernatural powers then?’ She asked, curiously.
‘The body is basically a tool, and follows what the mind tells it to do. So if the mind thinks a certain way, the body will react that way. And we have what you call ‘supernatural powers’ because of the way we think, knowing what we’re capable of results in our bodies following that,’ explained Ywoth.
‘Oh but that’s easy for you to say, you’re an alien.’
Mischia shrugged.
‘Please, don’t say that word,’ he shuddered.
‘Well, from another Planet then. You’re already capable of doing these things. So when you come to Earth, to a body, you can perform superhuman things because you are superhuman,’ she argued.
‘Mind you, a lot of what we knew is forgotten. But we remember enough, I suppose,’ added Tgthiem.
‘What do you mean?’
‘I mean, that before we came to Earth, we knew things.’ ‘What things?’
‘More things, like Universal knowledge, what you call wisdom.’
‘Ok, and what happened?’
‘We forgot it.’
‘How did you forget it?’
‘By coming to the body.’
‘I see,’ she didn’t.
They were silent.
‘Planet Earth is perfect to get the energy I need because of how easily available it is. How readily you human beings give it away,’ said Ywoth, after a while.
‘How do we give it away? And why?’
‘By putting another above yourself or giving into fear.’ Ywoth paused, and indicated her ‘you, were very, very scared, earlier, and were giving away a lot of your energy to me, but now you’re not. Having accepted the situation, you’ve managed to reclaim your power, and retain your energy.’ ‘What does that mean?’
‘It means, by accepting a situation, you are no longer at it’s mercy, and can move forth to change it, and become the master of it.’
She nodded, but this was too much information for her, which she just wasn’t understanding very well, so she stopped talking.
Then something hit her.
‘Back up a little bit. You said the mind controls the body, and if you think a certain way, your body acts that way?’ Ywoth and Tgthiem both nodded.
‘And you came to the body already aware of what you were capable of, so naturally, you’d be able to do supernatural things?’
They nodded again.
‘So if you actually think about it, I can do what you can do...right?’
‘Precisely. We’re all the same initially – souls, we just decided to incarnate on different Planets for different reasons.
We incarnated where the beings are more evolved, while you incarnated where people limit their bodies by limiting the way they think,’ said Tgthiem.
‘So you’re saying, I’m not actually incapable of doing what you can do, I just think I am, and my body’s following what my mind is telling it?’
‘Yes,’ said Ywoth, looking at her, amused.
‘You said you wanted me to help you with your mission right?’
Ywoth nodded.
‘How?’
