The Chronicles of The Nightwalker

Shahzul lived in a world where the spiritual realm and the physical realm coexisted. In her world , spirits and humans walked together and that was normal. She often visited a family members in other countries and loved that things in their daily lives were different from hers at home. As a child she was never told that when she left home she passed through different portals to other realms. Her family kept her sheltered from the truth about her world. They let her grow up completely unaware of the differences between her and her kin. At the age fifteen she became aware and was very scared and surprised. Every day she used to seeing her baby brother who she now knew was a soul collector, she still loved him so.. She even had a nickname for him . she called him Dominick even tho his name was Jinjah. He was the youngest and she loved him like he was her child. Each one of her siblings where trained in the spiritual arts. She believed that the spiritual arts represented life. She wore big glasses and had wild springy hair. She was also close to her shadow friend. They often had long talks about the places he had been. and the things he had seen. He also was a protector , just like Jinjah. They both were very protective of her. Shahzule had sisters too. A lot of them and they each had powers of their own. And my friends , that is another story for another day.

On one of her many travels to her cousins house she encounters a gentleman while stopping at a town nearby while at the market. She loved shopping at the market. One of her favorite stalls held rare and antique jewelry and what nots. Shahzul walked on up to the stall and said hello, then proceeded to look over the different pendants. Upon looking she noticed a beautiful pendant. The pendant was gold with different colored jewels around the top and bottom . She loved the beautiful designs and instantly thought that the pen would be a wonderful gift for her cousin. Meanwhile not too far a away a young man walked to the stall and noticed the same pen. He thought the pen would be a big seller on his website. They both reached for the pen at the same time. As soon as their hands touched , he felt a current run through his body. She the same sensation. Neither one of them knew what this feeling meant, But, the elders did. They all felt the energy at the same time as the two touched. It was if they were meant to meet each other. They both gasped at the feeling and stared at each other. He quickly gathered himself and introduces himself. "Lyrah. My name is Lyrah. What is yours?" He asked. " My name is Shahzul." She said in a gentle tone. I'm traveling to see my aunt and her daughters and their family. I thought that this pendant would make a nice gift for my cousin. " I think that you are right. That pen would be a nice gift for her. I however , am looking for rare and unique items to sell on my website." We specialize in offering these type of hard to find pieces. This piece looks as though it was made in the late 1800's, and was most likely part of a set. Meaning a necklace or a ring and a bracelet came with it." "Wow!" she exclaimed " You really know your stuff!" and they laughed. "Would you like to go have a glass of lemonade at the nearby stand, it's a little humid out here and a refreshing drink would be nice." They walked over to a nearby stand ordered and sat down. They talked about their travels and his life as a jewelry salesman online. They found out that they were from the same city, just different sides of town. And they also knew a few of the same people. How wonderful it was, she thought to herself to meet someone that was from where she was from and they both shared a lot in common! Lyrah was happy as well. how crazy was it that they were in the same place at the same time. Time passed and they saw that it was getting dark outside. They exchanged numbers and parted ways.

While in the backseat of her car she began to write in her journal about the encounter and posed a question to herself. "Will I call him first?" "Or will he call first?" The suspense was enough to her her anxious!

"How have you been?" Her cousins screamed and hugged her." I have been well! I hate that I can't stay longer. But, you do understand , Don't you?" she asked. " Yes, of course !" Her cousin exclaimed. "So now , Let's make the most of this visit!" Her aunt spoke. "We have a few things planned for the days that you will be here. ""Get some rest , we have dinner plans in a few hours. "Alright then, We will meet up later." " I'm about to shower then take a nap."

"Whew! That shower was much needed. Who knew travelling through realms would be so draining? I must be getting older. I felt every leap we took! Haha " she laughed Jinjah would call me an old woman right about now! I should text him and let him know that I made it safely."

"This pants suit will do nicely, The weather is nice , I'll wear a light jacket just in case.. Her cousin came and knocked at her door and came in. "Well go ahead and put your shoes on. W are ready to leave . They both left out of the door giggling.

The restaurant turned out to be amazing. The ambiance of the building was very electric and they were seated near the windows. The windows were decorated with different works of art all flowing together to bring a complete picture. Shazule had never in her life seen anything like that before. . She took out her journal to make a note to write about the experience in depth on her ride home.

During dinner her cousin mentioned that there was an up and coming fashion show and that she had tried out for the modeling team and made it. " Congratulations! " she exclaimed. " I am excited!" said her cousin. "I never thought that I would have the courage to stand up and model in front of a crowd, with virtually no training." they both smiled. Their dinner soon arrived and the food did not disappoint! Everything was as good as they said it would be and she ate everything on her plate. "Whoa! That was a really good meal." "YES. We love to come here and eat! i am so full right now." her aunt said and everone laughed.
