Realm of wonders union

The sun hung lazily in the sky and Alison gave a relieved smile. She looked around and drank the scene around her. How she enjoyed the sound of the birds that sang around and flew gently above them, as they began to venture on to the secret path.
The young Amir had seen her in the distance and came running towards her, his face beaming with excitement as he held his arms out ready to embrace his new friend. Alison held her arms out and smiled happily, as they both hugged gently.
“You returned,” Amir stated happily. “And a new friend too,” Amir smiled as he bowed gently to Matthew.
“My names Matt,” Matthew smiled compassionately and bowed his head courteously.
“A strange name, but well suited to you, kind sir,” Amir replied kindly. “The sire I spoke of has come to stay for a while. He seems most strange these past days. He seems to have changed. He says he has feelings that he has not felt for a long time. A strange thing to say, do you not think so, dear maiden?” Amir asked Alison.
“Yes, I agree, most strange. Please, you must introduce me to him, he sounds a divine person to meet,” Alison said smiling.
They walked further on until the building was in view. Alison smiled as she saw the smoke coming out of the chimney and making the run-down, old building look homely.
Matthew was amazed at the forest; he too was shown the animals that Amir had saved, and told the story about his wicked sister. Matthew listened with interest and felt sorry for the boy, who looked as lost as his elder-self.
The old Amir was sitting on a log. He had seen the two people with Amir, and he looked agitated. He had not wished to see anyone here and was not happy at the thought of his life being taken over by others. He stood up when his younger persona ...

...ngs were put into place, the animals that appeared from time to time, the lake, the trees, and the grave. It was all of Amir’s life. The boy was only a part of it. He had no meaning to life; he was a secret to all, except the two new people who had visited his special place.
“Do you know of the reason sire? You have a look of forlorn in your eyes, I wish to know the reason,” the young Amir demanded harshly.
“Very well, I will tell, but not here. I will tell you of your life. Come, it may be of darkness, but I will tell you of the life you live,” the old Amir promised.
They both stood up and walked away from Alison and Matthew. Alison knew that what was going to be said, would be upsetting to, not only the young boy, but also the older self. She sat watching the two Amirs’ depart from view, and hoped that it would settle the minds of each other once and for all.
