One year later, Emerald City.
I was blue but now I am green. I have a green house and a green life, now; I started a new career it was just a little hobby but I found out that my family had a long carpentry legacy.
We basically inherited the job. However, I had enough money; I bought a house and a workshop and I started learning from scratch; I settled in green. I felt happy once again since a very long time. I felt like I belonged.
It was very simple to retrieve my green name because apparently it never changed. My parents after becoming yellow did not change my register and my green ID was longer than my Blue life.
I was named "Jade Teal Green".
My family in green accepted me wholeheartedly, I didn’t feel pressured by them, they were all simple people, they were not all educated but they were experienced they understood life more than any one I met in blue.
I had a pretty calm life, but I couldn’t overcome the feeling that I needed a closure, now that I had enough time to process my feelings. I was tormented by confusion.
I could not shake the feeling that something was not right but I could not put my hands on it. Until it came back knocking on my door literally not metaphorically.
It was a stormy day and I did not expect a sudden visit from anyone. Imagine my surprise when someone knocked on my door in the middle of the night especially someone I haven’t seen in a year and a half, someone I was thinking of, someone that I used to know.
Leila stood there drenched in water her feet were scratched her clothes needed patching, her hair messy and she looked like she hadn’t slept in days she had a surprised reaction as if she couldn’t believe that she saw me and she said only one word before she fainted “OLDRICK”
She fell right into my hands and I could not be more shocked in my life.
