Naya's P.O.V. Red Mount 1990

I​ ​sat​ ​up,​ ​marvelled​ ​by​ ​the​ ​sudden​ ​theory.​ ​It​ ​made​ ​sense.​ ​He​ ​did​ ​move​ ​when​ ​the​ ​veil​ ​thinned,​ ​like​ ​he was​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​reach​ ​inside​ ​with​ ​his​ ​hand.​ ​"It's​ ​a​ ​plausible​ ​theory​ ​but​ ​a​ ​crazy​ ​theory​ ​at​ ​best.​ ​I​ ​mean, they​ ​don't​ ​even​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​realm."​ ​I​ ​argued.

"I​ ​doubt​ ​he​ ​knows?"​ ​He​ ​questioned.

​ ​"We​ ​have​ ​the​ ​closest​ ​connection​ ​with​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​world.​ ​They​ ​bring​ ​us​ ​back​ ​every​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​centuries so​ ​by​ ​getting​ ​us​ ​to​ ​communicate​ ​with​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​at​ ​our​ ​dying​ ​moment,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​create​ ​the​ ​veil​ ​when the​ ​spirit​ ​is​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​save​ ​us."​ ​I​ ​spoke​ ​out​ ​loud.

"Then,​ ​he​ ​can​ ​somehow​ ​manage​ ​to​ ​get​ ​into​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​world."​ ​He​ ​finished​ ​off.​ ​We​ ​didn't​ ​know​ ​how​ ​it was​ ​possible​ ​to​ ​access​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​world.​ ​We​ ​didn't​ ​even​ ​know​ ​one​ ​who​ ​is​ ​living​ ​could​ ​cross​ ​over.

"Have​ ​you​ ​heard​ ​of​ ​a​ ​creature​ ​who​ ​can​ ​pass​ ​over​ ​without​ ​dying?"​ ​I​ ​wondered.

"No."​ ​He​ ​sighed.​ ​We​ ​returned​ ​to​ ​our​ ​previous​ ​position.​ ​"A​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​history​ ​our​ ​supernatural​ ​ancestors had​ ​been​ ​wiped​ ​away​ ​by​ ​the​ ​humans.​ ​I'm​ ​sure​ ​if​ ​someone​ ​did​ ​know,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​take​ ​us​ ​years​ ​to​ ​find him​ ​or​ ​her."​ ​He​ ​was​ ​right.​ ​We​ ​needed​ ​time​ ​and​ ​that's​ ​the​ ​thing​ ​we​ ​didn't​ ​have.

"Do​ ​you​ ​think​ ​if​ ​we​ ​remember​ ​all​ ​the​ ​lives​ ​we​ ​lived,​ ​we'd​ ​find​ ​a​ ​way​ ​to​ ​defeat​ ​him?"​ ​I​ ​asked​ ​stroking his​ ​prickly​ ​hairs​ ​on​ ​his​ ​head.

"I​ ​think​ ​so​ ​but​ ​that​ ​would​ ​mean​ ​the​ ​spirits​ ​are​ ​close​ ​by​ ​because​ ​they​ ​are​ ​providing​ ​us​ ​with​ ​this information.​ ​Too​ ​much​ ​spirit​ ​activity​ ​will​ ​draw​ ​his​ ​attention.​ ​Don't​ ​know​ ​how​ ​but​ ​he'll​ ​know​ ​where we​ ​are."​ ​He​ ​concluded.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​perfect​ ​theory​ ​as​ ​to​ ​why​ ​the​ ​spirits​ ​never​ ​full​ ​on​ ​provided​ ​us​ ​with​ ​all the​ ​memories.

"How​ ​do​ ​you​ ​think​ ​he​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​do​ ​that?​ ​How​ ​can​ ​he​ ​feel​ ​the​ ​spirits?​ ​Could​ ​he​ ​find​ ​a​ ​way​ ​in?"​ ​I added​ ​two​ ​and​ ​two​ ​together.

"How​ ​do​ ​you​ ​think​ ​he​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a​ ​way​ ​to​ ​do​ ​that?"​ ​He​ ​wondered.

"He's​ ​not​ ​controlled​ ​by​ ​the​ ​laws​ ​of​ ​the​ ​spirits.​ ​He's​ ​a​ ​hybrid.​ ​His​ ​powers​ ​don't​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​natural protocols."​ ​I​ ​explained.​ ​We'd​ ​been​ ​trying​ ​to​ ​connect​ ​the​ ​dots,​ ​figure​ ​out​ ​as​ ​much​ ​as​ ​we​ ​could.
