Far, far below, through the cloud cover and smog, I saw city lights twinkling. No, I didn’t know where I was, exactly. And no, I didn’t know the names of cities below. But an inner guidance system told me exactly how far I was from home, and how exactly to get home again.

Pretty cool, I thought.

Yes, I am, came the voice.

I smiled as I flew—and considered everything I’d been told tonight, and as I did so, one thing became abundantly clear: I was in two places at once. And perhaps even three.

Very good, Sam.

I had been told before—by entities far greater than I—that the majority of my soul resided in the spirit world, wherever that was. That our physical bodies were but a living, breathing extension of our bigger souls; in fact, our physical bodies were but a temporary vessel to be used for personal growth. Now I was being told that a part of me was with this creature, in another world. How this was possible, I didn’t know. How much of me was with him, I didn’t know that either.

An essence of you, Sam. But it can become much more of an essence, if you choose it to be.

A picture appeared in my thoughts. It was of myself and the creature...and we were indeed sitting together on a rocky ledge, although the creature wasn’t exactly sitting. Perched was more like it. Myself, I was squatting near the ledge, naked as the day I was born, looking down at a mist-covered landscape that was hazy at best.

Why am I sitting next to you? I asked. I mean, I thought our bodies were sort of, you know, joined together?

It doesn’t have to be that way, Sam.

Then why isn’t it this way now? Here in my world?

Would you prefer we part ways now? asked the creature. It would be a mighty long drop for you, although, I suspect, you would survive it well enough.

I shook my head at the absurdity of it all, and then asked: Why do you come here? I mean, you obviously have free will. Surely, you aren’t being compelled to come.

More ice broke free from my wings. Stronger winds than I’d ever experienced before rocked me. Rocked us. Still, we powered through the mighty winds which, if I had to guess, had reached well over 300 miles per hour.

I see it as an opportunity, Sam, came the creature’s reply.

An opportunity for what?

To be with you. To, perhaps, help you. To, perhaps, guide you.

But I thought the dark masters forced you into this role, I thought. The ‘dark masters’ were, of course, the entities who fueled vampires such as myself, who gave us our powers and our immortality. All they asked for in return was, of course, total possession of our bodies. Something I had been fighting, and so far, successfully.

Not forced, Sam. We saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.

An opportunity for what?

To give balance to the darkness.

You work with the Librarian? I asked.

We do, came the creature’s reply.
