Eternity Flower, Seed Squared Root

4:42 PM

It was an average day with no plan but plenty of potential for the wizard Mmace Heavyhammer. As usual the sun began to peak at the apex of perpendicular perspective. The breaking dawn, still lying in the future held even more magic potential. As it ever does. Twilight was so thoroughly vivifying and whether the light came from the east or the west, it's comfort was refreshing. Its familiar routine was one of his favorite parts of the daily cycle. Always enjoyable he thought to himself, the calm energy resonated within him.

Coffee in the morning was also quite one of those things that really perked up his day. Black with no cream or sugar. Not that he did not enjoy cream and sugar from time to time, but the crafting of the brew and it's Devine blessed essence. Took long enough and is quite perfect enough, natural and unaltered. As nature intended some things. He got his coffee beans from a local farm and enjoyed the specifics of the soil here.

Life had been a rough ride. Turbulence had numerous times threated to tear the wily wizard asunder. He thought back to some of his most harrowing moments just an instant, and was glad of the comfort he had found in this valley town. Gratitude for the fates endowment and those bigger hands. Those who had saved him from the very real and very present danger of a fate worse than death. For some reason he was still existing, was allowed to continue sipping his coffee and not a hair on his head was out of place.

The package arrived about noonish delivered by the local post carrier, but it was unexpected. This is interesting, thought Mmace as he collected the smallish box. It was nondescript and slightly smaller than a breadbox. No markings only a brown twine string wrapped around the brown paper. The box was not heavy and came with a manila envelope. Upon the envelope was inscribed one arcane symbol and a date of thirty years later and nothing else.

Odd, Mmace began to wonder, as he is want to do when oddities arise in exsistance. An anomalous quandary was just the thing Mmace really enjoyed. The arcane symbol was carefully drawn. The ink used was of some kind the wizard was quite unfamiliar with. It was dark blue in the sunlight but in the shade of the cottage it's indelible magical nature was evident and it shimmered a fire baby blue. The date thirty years later intrigued him even more.

Mmace placed the suspicious package on a counter top and considered the sum of this riddle. Should he believe this brown paper package be from the future. Or rather that he should not open untill that date. And who was this from? He wondered, pondering this development. If I open the envelope I would probably know. But if I were to have sent myself this package from the future or for the future. How would he know?

Trusting his own instinct he placed the box up on a high shelf. Knowing the answer lies in the arcane symbol and the mysterious blue ink. Mmace cast a simple critical scan over the unknown cypher. It became clear that his placing the brown paper box up for later was indeed most likely the correct course. What he gleaned was future tense and clearly it was meant to be a surprise in more ways than one. Well, he thought as a wry smile formed on his visage. Quite unexpected but being a wizard his life was filled with these types of things.

Bluebird the valorous blue dragon relaxed just then. Knowing his package had been received and placed in a safe place for the intended date. Bluebird had not reached out to a human in many ages. But something about that wizard, Mmace Heavyhammer. Was uncanny in it's relevance and the perturbing nature of his ability to remain pertinent had elicited his attention. Mmace had wakened the magnificent blue with his innate talent and skill. And the future was indeed bright, full, and brimming with potentiality.

A linear tangent had formed and the two kindred spirits were indelibly bound by fate. But that is the way of soul mates. No matter how many lifetimes they live. Somehow true friends find each other and the story never ends. Someone up above looked down at the two and smiled at the moment in time. Such a small thing but when the effect of these to souls coming together came to fruition there would be much joy and mirth in the lands indeed.
