Secrets

A library of infinite knowledge stands with the stranger sitting in the center of it all. But our story is being tell by his daughter. She sees he is troubled by something and he is not letting anyone in to talk about it. But she always knew that he goes through a lot of pain and secrets of people he meets or words they wanted him to keep locked away. But we all have secrets some stronger than others. Secrets come in many forms, some could determine the fate of lives like destroy them or save them. The people hold these secrets to keep them safe or others safe because the world outside can be cruel to everyone so they protect them selves by standing hided or lying to others. The stranger starts to cry and a storm forms outside and begins to rain. His daughter so badly wants to run in and hold him close. To help him with his burden of destiny. He knows that she is there watching him suffering with his own secret. The secret of he will have to leave soon and she is his heir to his destiny but he is proud of her and knows everyone is in good hands. The room begins to darken and Death walks in and sits on his desk. She smiles and says it is time to pay the piper. He stands and says in a strong voice that even with all the secrets of people and worlds. We must be strong and stand by our friends and family for when the time comes to open up to the light and take that first step out of the darkness to show we are there for them always. Death shakes her head and says but every world is not the same it is like a two sided coin. There is going to be people that do not support them or there role to play. Some maybe have good intensions and others bad ones. So like they say picking your poison is like picking your crow. You don't know who you can trust in the world. But they are all not mind reads. The stranger says please just a little more time to spend with my family before I have to journey to the mist of the souls of the lost. Death stands and walks over to him and holds him tight. She softly whispers in his ear that his soul is worth more than any ones or any world. So tell her the secret you keep from her Because there will come a day that you can no longer protect her from the guardian blood line. Death kisses him and disappears into smoke. The doors to the library come open and his daughter rushes in and holds him. She says father are you alright? He looks at her and kisses her head and says have a sit my love for I have a secret to tell you about me and you. As he looks at her his heart sinks because it is like looking into a mirror. He sees that she has grown up and is ready to take his role in life. In the back of his mind he has try to keep her from fate when it is time to let go and fade from the path in front of him.
