Sam didn’t like the way that last bit sounded and so tried to ignore it by asking a rather surreal series of questions. “Do you mind me asking, Babu, are you a girl or a boy?” As he asked it, he was kicking himself at the same time, wondering why on earth that should be relevant.

“We are neither male nor female, singular or multiple,” Babu replied. “We are what we are and made as we are made. We are melded to you and so, as you are male, we adapt to your maleness. Had we been melded to a female, we would have been similarly adapted.”

That seemed to make some sense to Sam, who continued. “So how far away can you be before you can’t hear me anymore?” Assuming that, like talking, there was a limit to how far away each could be before sound was inefficient. Again, had he thought about it, he would have realised, yet again, what a stupid question it was!

“Whether we are next to you or on the other side of this world, we can hear you when you call. For when we melded we became one, Sam. One! What you say, we hear, and what we say, you hear, when we speak to each other. We are, in effect one and the same, like brothers, if you will. Brothers together and linked forever, regardless of circumstances or events.” The last said by Babu as he reminded Sam of the past few days and how Sam had acted in Babu’s presence.

“But this is just so ridiculous,” Sam said. “How do you expect me to believe all this when I know full well that a dream is just something momentary and, when you wake, everything you have experienced disappears into the mist and all the wonderful things are as nothing, leaving you empty. Empty and alone, just like life.” Sam hung his head as his real life imposed itself on his dreaming and, he found himself bending down to place Babu on the floor. “Brothers?” Sam said quietly, “I have no brothers.” And he walked off towards the waterfall, sadness upon sadness heavy on his shoulders.
