It Must Be Said
Ruechari did not what to do
So decided to meet with Juju
He looked much better today
Chatting with Autumn
Smiling away.
"Hello, you."
"I'll get something to eat
for you from the café."
Autumn said before
Walking away.
Rue wondered if she knew
That she wanted to talk to Juju.
He patted the bed, "Come Ruechari
Have seat here by me."
"I have some questions for you?"
Ruechari looked away,
"I'm sure you do."
"I know I should have died that night
I saw myself heading towards the light
But then you called me back again.
I heard your voice and then..."
Ruechari sighed,
"Yes, you died. I didn't want to let you go
But there is something I need you to know.
The fact that you're here is gift
A gift from the ancestral spirit.
What you did for Autumn was very brave
And so you, they decided to save
You have been given a second chance
To live the life you should have lived.
This is the gift they did give."
"I can still feel you in my head, my heart."
Ruechari wasn't sure how to explain this part
"Jujube with this gift you cannot die,
unless I do. I can't explain why."
"You are the vessel, you are key
My soul is yours, Ruechari."
Ruechari was stunned, How could he...
"How do you know that Jujube?"
"I didn't know. It's just something I feel.
You just confirmed what I thought was real."
"So what happens to me
if something happens to you?"
"Poof. You're through."
Jujube thought that an over simplification
But it seemed an accurate explanation.
"The do me favor then? Settle down?
I like the idea of hanging around."
Ruechari had to laugh.
"I will try my best
Not easy when you're
Shaman of the West."
"Try... really hard,
Or at least stick by your bodyguard."
"Bodyguard?"
"Billy... silly."
"Oh...
So, what are your plans?"
"I want to go home
Get back to my lands.
I'm hoping to get Autumn to agree
To come home with me."
"I hope you'll be happy
You serve all this and more."
Ruechari got up and
Walked towards the door.
"Rue? I just so know
Even though
We will be apart
Should you ever need me
Just tug on my heart."
Rue prayed that day never came
But thanked him all the same.
"Just do a favor... for me?
Make this life great Jujube."
"I intend to, Ruechari."
Autumn made it back
With a delicious snack
"Take good care of him,"
Rue waved good bye
Autumn said,
"I will, or at least I'll try."
