Past lives always catch up to those who wish to forget. Your shadow is your only friend, as they always say. As you are born into this world you make your first friend. Also an infant, you and your friend bond. You don't speak, you just watch. You speak with thoughts. Your friend is a shadow, not your shadow, a shadow you've met before. A friend who remained with you from your past life.

As you are born into this world you are weighed on a scale, the scale tests you a split second before you emerge into the lights of the hospital room. And you and one other are tested. One is chosen for the light, to be physical, to enter the world as a full being. The other, is to help, to assist the one whom was their friend in a previous life, to become their ever living shadow. 

They grow up. Still friends. They survive together, helping each other out when no one else would. Every soul has their shadow, and every shadow has their soul. The souls are blind, only seeing their shadow in the crowds of humans and figures that are other shadows. The humans cannot see other peoples shadows without help from their friend, who can give their partner enlightenment. All is perfect. All are known. And none are abandoned, the scale rulers made sure of that.

...

But this is the story of a boy and his shadow, his shadow that he slowly forgot. His shadow whom he slowly let disappear. This is the story of a teenage boy named Nolan, and his shadow, Garid. Friends lost in time, and slowly forgotten in the rivers of memories.
