I wake up again in the middle of the flower field, under the Apple tree, look around but I see no sign of that lady.

I’m I dreaming again?

I stand up and start to walk around. At some distance I see a lake and decided to take a closer look.

When I get closer to the lake I see someone swimming and wonder if its the lady from the last time, but when I got a better look I noticed it wasn’t her. It was a boy, he saw me and started to wave at me, not knowing what to do I waved back.

Who is he? What is he doing here? I ask myself.

He started to swim in my direction and I felt a bit uneasy, when he got out of the water I had a huge shock. That can’t be. It is impossible. He looks like me.

He walks in my direction with a huge smile on his face and says, “Hi Sis.”

Sis? What’s going on? “W...who are you?” I ask him.

“I am kind of your twin brother.”

“B...but I never had a brother.”

“Well... it is what the lady told me.”

“What do you mean?”

“From what she told me, we were supposed to be twins, a boy and a girl, but something happened and we became one person.”

I felt completely confused, but he continued.

“She said that right after our conception, our embryos merged at the beginning of their development. We had one body and 2 different sets of DNA, making a bit of a mess of things. Some of the internal organs had your DNA, together with most of the brain and some other areas had my DNA, that’s why everyone thought you were a boy.”

“B...but how are you here now?”

“Remember when the lady said she would give you a gift?”

“Yes.”

“Do you remember how you felt?”

“Yes, I felt a warm tingling all over my body, just before everything went white.”

“Nothing else?”

“Now that you mention it, I felt like a huge weight was lifted from me.”

“That was me, Sis. I was trapped inside you all our lives.”

“B... but why was I the one that got sent back and not you?”

“Because you were the one in control.”

“Are you stuck here?”

“For now, ” he said with a mischievous grin.

“What do you mean?”

“You’ll see.”

“Where is the lady?”

“I have no idea. We talked a while after you were gone, but she is one frustrating lady. She doesn’t give straight answers.”

“I know what you mean,” I giggle.

“So.. Do I call you Johnny?”

“Nahhh. Johnny was our name, he doesn’t exist anymore. My name is Josh.”

“Nice to meet you Josh.” I said as I gave him a hug.

“It’s nice to finally be able to talk to you, Sis.” He said hugging me back.

“I wish you could live with us in the real world,” I tell him and feel the tears starting to fill my eyes.

“I can’t just yet, Sis. For the same reason you still have to do the operation. She did some minor changes, but couldn’t do more. Not because she lacks the power, but she doesn’t want to attract unwanted attention.”

“Unwanted attention?”

“I don’t know what she meant by that, but she said you would be in danger if ‘the others’ knew what she is doing.”

“The others? Who are the others?”

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know either.”

“You have any idea of who or what is the lady.”

“I have my suspicions. I think she might be a goddess of some kind.”

“A goddess? Are you kidding me?”

“No. She is too powerful and too mysterious. Maybe she doesn’t think we are ready to know the truth.”

“I don’t know. It seems a bit far fetched to me. But I think we will know when the time is right, just like she told me.”

“By the way, how did I get here this time?”

“That I know.” he told me with a grin. “I brought you here.”

“Why?”

“Because I wanted to see you. I was feeling lonely,” he said looking at his feet and blushed.

“Awwww, you big softy,” I said huging him.

“Also I wanted to tell you that I learned a few things about this place.”

“Oh?”

“Remember that she said that this place is related to the dreamworld?”

“Yes, she also said this is my spiritual landscape.”

“Actually it is our spiritual landscape, we were merged for so long that our souls are extremely tuned in, and that’s how I was able to bring you here. The moment you fainted I was able to pull you in.”

“Oh, that is neat.”

“And that’s not all. It seems that this place is connected to the spiritual and the dream worlds, even the lady was surprised by that.”

“And what does it mean?”

“She is not sure. She said she needed to study it for a while, but I suspect that means that from here we might be able to enter either of the worlds and come back.”

“Isn’t it dangerous?” I ask him.

“I don’t know, that’s why I want to know more about this place first. But now we are running out of time, you need to go back. We will see each other soon.”

“Oh, and don’t tell anyone about this place just yet.”

“Why?”

“Just don’t, please. The lady said it could be dangerous if the wrong ears heard about it.”

“OK, I’ll keep my mouth closed for now.”

“See you soon sis.” he said giving me a hug just before everything went white again.
