Chapter Five

Once they were alone, Michael squeezed Draco’s thigh. “So, let me in on the surprise. What kind of surroundings will we find once we get to The Between?”

Draco narrowed his eyes. “I’m not telling.”

“Just a hint?”

How could he refuse such a handsome man? Draco wrapped his arms around Michael’s neck. “It’s the only memory I have before my father rescued me from the mountain.”

Michael nodded. “Good, so we’re going to Greece.”

“I don’t know where it is,” Draco said with a shrug. “But it’s where I go to in my mind when I need comfort.” Draco bit his bottom lip. “I never told my father that. I didn’t want him to know I had to go somewhere else to seek comfort.”

“Have you seen your father since your death?”

“No. He wouldn’t approve of the man I’ve become.” Draco climbed off Michael’s lap. Thoughts of his father always soured his mood. The man who’d taken him in, fed him, raised him and most important, loved him, deserved more than the man Draco had become after his death. All the teachings and understanding he’d been afforded during life had been lost on him.

“Can we just go?” Draco asked. He held out his hand in hopes Michael would drop the subject of his father.

“Yes.” Michael stood and took both of Draco’s hands in his. “Close your eyes and think of your peaceful place, and I’ll get us there.”

Draco nodded and did as instructed. A sudden gust of wind ruffled his hair moments before he heard…birds. Smiling, he inhaled the smell of sweet honeysuckle. Yes. He dared to open his eyes, praying everything would be exactly as he remembered. The lush landscape, the gently rolling hills, trees and plenty of flowers was an exact duplicate of his dreams. Perfect.

“I did it.” Draco released Michael’s hands and spun around in circles with his arms stretched out. For the first time in over two millennia, he laughed from the depths of his soul.

It was Michael who stopped him, stepping in to wrap an arm around his waist. “This is the place you remember?”

“Yes. It’s perfect, isn’t it?” Draco couldn’t wait to roam the hills or soak his feet in the lake.

“But this is Father’s workshop. How could you remember it?”

Draco had no idea what Michael was talking about. The tranquil surroundings hardly resembled a dirty workshop. “Are we seeing the same thing?”

“Yes. Eden.”

“Eden? No. This is where I was born. My true home,” he tried to explain.

Michael diverted his gaze to the lush landscape. “This is Eden, the place where all souls are created. You must have read about it and become confused.”

Draco refused to let Michael ruin this memory for him. “No!” he shouted and pushed out of Michael’s embrace. “If I read about it, would I know there’s a lake with crystal clear water just down and around that hill?”

“The Lake of Purity,” Michael mumbled. “But how…?”

“I told you. I’ve been here,” Draco tried to explain once more. He took off at a run towards the lake, slipping out of his clothes as he did.
