On Awakening
As with most of us, I have no recollection of my previous lives. I say "lives" because from the research I have conducted thus far, it is held that when an Awoken is made, the human form dies. So by my theory, I had died twice before my Ghost found me.
I remember that day vividly. Recently I have found that I remember most days vividly. When I looked up and saw Ghost for the first time, I was not shocked. I was not awestruck by the wasteland that had become of Russia. I was not bewildered by the story Ghost told me, that I had been dead. Nor frightened of the Fallen that hunted us. I processed all of these details with a calm rationale. I immediately felt that I could research these new surroundings at a safer time; possibly a hint at my past lives.
No, what caught my attention was the second thing I saw: A small, brown butterfly.
I remembered that word the moment I saw it. I suppose this also is a clue to my past. Upon seeing this creature, I could only think one thing: Life Always Thrives.
Upon later research, I found this particular species of butterfly to be called "Enosis" - a name I took as my own.
