He was lying in a dark street, weary and bleak without hope.
He barely remembered he was once an intergalactic traveler, embarked on a journey in search of truth, and love. Years and years he traveled, from galaxy to galaxy, without finding what he was looking for.
He had been a merchant, a slave, a pirate and many more. He couldn't recall when and how he came to this planet, and with a heart so broken.
Well, he thought, my journey ends here, so is my life.
And in that darkest moment, a light appeared. It was an angel.
Fear not, she said quietly, there's always hope.
Oh angel , he pleaded hopefully, please heal my heart so I can carry on.
I can't mend your heart, but I can help you, she smile tenderly. Only when you are ready, she added, and when you are ready, we will meet again.
With that last word, she vanished into the night, leaving him holding her promise.
And the years went by...
On that fateful day, oh it was just like any other day. He stepped inside the conference room in a hotel located in a city full of chaos. When she turned and looked into his eyes, he vaguely recalled a promise made long ago.
You can't find the answer by looking outside, she smile, the journey you have to make is really the journey inwards. It takes courage and perseverance, but I think you are ready.
And thus, the journey begun.
It was earth year 2008.
