Today feels like a white day.
A blank canvas, an empty partition.
History that has yet to be written.
Comfort. Silence.
The calm before the storm.
Today, I officially joined the Halifax 21st. I was made available
in the VHLM, a couple teams offered me different roles on
their teams, but the choice was easy. I can’t even explain why,
it’s as if an other-worldly force wanted me to be in Nova Scotia
for the rest of Season 79. As if I had a purpose there, if there
was something for me there and there only. Maybe they’re the
team where I can exceed my potential. Who knows?
Today feels like a blue day.
Of the lighter variety.
Full of hopes and dreams.
Floating on the horizon.
The calm before the storm.
But as soon as I made my way to the locker room, I met with
some of my new teammates - and it all came back to me. I amn’t
from here, but I am definitely meant to be here. Up until this point,
my life felt normal. I was a normal kid, I played hockey, I was good
at it to the point where a career wasn’t out of the question and
that’s why I thought I was here today. But it isn’t. I amn’t from here,
but my purpose is here. Nico Pearce is here and he is in danger.
Today feels like a blue day.
Of the darker variety.
One single star shines.
Brighter than it ever shined before.
A storm is coming.
It is as if they blurred my memory of it, as if they wanted me to
believe that I had a normal childhood, a normal life, up until this
point. Truth is, I amn’t from here. I amn’t even from this era. I am
from way farther up in time. I don’t even know what year I came
from, but now that I saw his beautiful face, I remember what it
looked like, and it isn’t anything like what the world looks like in
Season 79. If I had to guess, I’d say I was born around Season
200-300.
Technology has advanced to a point where missions like this one
are possible. I’ve been trained from a young age, digitally enhanced,
all to make this voyage through time and space possible. It made
my hockey junior such a breeze. It wasn’t even hard to end up
here today, future technology made me a known asset in this barren
past. Well, it’s not exactly barren. It’s the home of one person of
interest. One person I have known my whole life up until this point,
but who has no idea that I am here for him only.
I need to protect Nico Pearce at all costs.
