Sometimes, things just happen. You can be minding your own business on a journey all your own when suddenly the path changes and you find yourself in a place you never imagined you would be. It can be like a dream state, where each step that you take is almost as unbelievable as the last. Maybe you pinch yourself and try to wake up, convinced this fantasy will become a nightmare if you linger too long. Or maybe you accept it, you see this new reality as the place that you were always destined to be. Either way, the road will continue and be it fight, or acceptance, you will soon come to find that there is nothing in life we truly control.
So why not go along for the ride?
The first time one of my new friends showed up at my door; I thought he was just a backpacker looking for somewhere warm to sleep. He seemed to know who I was and, seeing as how I like to party, I figured inviting him in for a few nights wouldn’t hurt. Besides; driving can get kinda lonely ya know? And he seemed innocent enough - so we went on together and I even let him drive for a few miles til he nearly served us a tree through the windscreen for lunch.
The second time people showed up at my door, I got a little suspicious. Two girls with ratty dreads and wide smiles kept talking about taking the path to enlightenment. Personally, I never had to go looking for enlightenment. But they seemed pretty chill and they liked my stories so If figured heck, the more the merrier.
Then, on Halloween; things got weird. I was parked up in some little thicket so Ollie could rest and HH could talk to his mom, that's something that is way easier to do on Halloween and he wanted to tell her all about the adventures we had been on; which duh, they have been pretty cool since we started wrestling on TV!! For Valor, so I left the girls and the dude who sleeps a lot in The Commodore and I went into the woods (love that movie) with my furry friends. And like I said… That’s when things got Weird.
*********************
The small thicket wasn’t somewhere you would happen upon by accident. Indi had been coming here for almost a year now, whenever a break in her schedule would allow it, she would bring HH here and they would take it in turns to converse with nature and whatever else it was he did when she wasn’t looking. It had taken her a long time to get everything just right and those trees didn’t want to behave when it came to not growing so fast… Sometimes they would come here and the carvings would be so high up she would have to start all over again.
But that wasn’t the thing that threw her this time, nah see this time when they got to the little clearing they so carefully worked on? There were people. Six to be exact and that is probably more people in one spot than she had ever seen as a collective in a little section of woods that nobody really came to anyway. But heck, people go hiking and stuff now right? So them being there wasn’t even the weird part.
The reeeeaaaallllly weird part was how they reacted when she got there. As soon as she stepped into that clearing a huge cheer of welcome rose up and so did the people, jumping to their feet to greet her with hugs and thanks; they had known she would come, they had been guided here, guided to her and now, here she was… Ready to bring them all along on her path of enlightenment.
HH slinked off to do whatever it was he needed to do and Ollie had already decided he wasn’t about it and so here she was, in the middle of the woods with a group of smiling people who seemed to want nothing more than her company. So, who was she to say no, really?
Plopping down in the spot they had saved for her, a big fat cushioned adorned with little gold stars and a ring of fresh wildflowers all around it, it really was like the seat was made just for her and she settled in quickly. As soon as she took her seat; they began asking questions, all at once and.. Well why bore you with the details of what she said?
The important thing here is that Halloween was the night that Indi Rhyder, the Galactic Princess became the leader of a cult.
and she didn’t even know it.
*********************
Like I said, Halloween is when things started to get really weird. It's been a few hours since and I’m back on the road to head out to NY and get ready for the biggest match of my career… In addition to my three companions from before I got two more dudes just hanging out in back and they all seem to be having a good time.
I’m a little bit concerned about their whispering though, they keep talking about how their job is to ensure that I reach my potential. They keep saying how this path is my Destiny and that HE has promised them a life of happiness and wealth if they make sure I reach the end of my path…
I’m sure it's nothing to worry about though guys, they all seem really nice and they’re even gonna come to 7 Pillars with me! Anyways, I gotta go; lots of driving ahead and i’ve been feeling more tired than usual lately… Stay safe and wish me luck!
