Probability of Love - Анастасия Кучеренко

The space messengers of goodwill or legionnaires were just energy bunches, that could take on any form and appearance. They could read other people's thoughts, predict future events, travel through time, penetrated through matter and even "sneak" into the other worlds under the guise of their inhabitants. Each of them was obliged to perform a certain mission on one of the planets. What exactly and where — each legionnaire had to decide on his own.

One day, Pinfar was relaxing in a sun-drenched flower conservatory after his daily exercise of "entering the point", when Elia came in. The girl was thoughtfully walking along the rows of outlandish plants brought from various planets of the Galaxy, feeling that something very important for her must happen right here and now.

Suddenly the eyes of Elia and Pinfar met, illuminating both of them with associative insights. Lesson. Fate. Mission. Love. Error. Search…

But at that moment, the intuitive chain disseminated, leaving a bluish haze of charm with each other. Both were a little embarrassed by what their foresight had just revealed to them, and at the same time they were inexorably attracted to each other. Was it love at first sight? Rather, it was the inevitability of love.

The young oracles often walked hand in hand through the endless galleries of the galactic winds. Like true lovers, they were completely absorbed in each other, busy with tender whispering and passionate kisses. They wandered together in the darkness of the galleries.

— I can’t believe it, Elia… I was sure that I had everything I wanted, I was not burdened by loneliness, I was preparing for the expedition. And now it’s painful for me even to imagine that we could not meet. What a wonderful coincidence!

— There is nothing accidental in the Universe, Pinfar, every meeting has some meaning. Maybe we loved each other in our past lives?

— It’s unlikely… I don’t remember such a red-haired blue-eyed girl in my past incarnation. — Pinfar laughed. — I wonder, will we meet in our future lives?" And, by the way, where does love go when both lovers die? After all, according to the cosmic principle of energy and substance conservation, it must be somewhere…

As usual, Pinfar, tried to analyze the feelings from a scientific point of view.

— As for me, I am more interested, what happens to the energy of love, when feelings cool down, Elia added, getting suddenly sad. — I am so afraid of losing you, Pinfar!

— Stop your melancholy, — Pinfar said with a smile. — Don't you remember the idea of huge potential of love in space, that our old Everon mentioned? A great part of it is consolidated at the planet Lilia, where love calmly slumbers in its undeveloped and hard-hearted inhabitants. So, you and I will try to awaken this volcano and release the tremendous energy, that entire Universe needs! I'm ready for the expedition, what about are you?

— Please, teach me how to "enter the point"! I just have to master this skill.

— In my opinion, this is the most effective way to get to Lilia. You become a Lilian for a while, and in a completely natural way you can convey your cosmic ideas to their minds. Personally, I prefer to "enter the point" by means of concentration. Just imagine a small black dot in front of you and keep your attention on it. Gradually it will get bigger, and you will be able to step into this darkness. And then you will be among the Lillians! I regularly practice concentration, but I have not tried to pass the exam for the High Council yet — there was something that held me back. Now I know that I hadn’t met you by that time. After all, you can return back from Lilia only after completing your mission.

— I promise you, my love, that very soon I’ll learn how to enter the point and we together will step into the darkness.

— No, Elia, we must enter the point separately — on that planet, there are its own, strange laws of nature. So, first I will take this step, and then you. I am sure we will quickly complete our mission on Lilia and return to our world.

As always, Pinfar was too overconfident.

Soon, the oracle Elia has perfectly mastered the ability of concentration. For her it was no longer difficult to cross that border where the planet Lilia began, the planet of love and beauty, which its inhabitants did not know about. By that time, she had already learnt a lot of phraseological expressions, songs, spells and prayers in the native language of the Lillians. All these she might need to implement that grandiose plan she and Pinfar had in mind- to educate the locals about simple cosmic truths and help them truly love each other. She was ready for this task. Meanwhile, love of the two young oracles got stronger day by day, and, of course, such feelings could not go unnoticed by the Council of the Higher Space Mission. Elia and Pinfar received an official call to carry out a mission on the planet Lilia.

— My sweetheart, don’t be afraid, I will wait for you there, on Lilia!” — Pinfar promised fervently, flashing his eyes, and the next moment he vanished into thin air, crossing the border of a giant black point.

According to the instructions of the Higher Space Mission Council, the oracle Elia had to wait for a while before following Pinfar to the planet. And finally, her moment has come. With her eyes closed, the girl crossed the border of the familiar world of her…

The next moment she found herself in a strange, brightly lit room. Some Lillians were moving around, actively discussing something and smiling at her all the time.

“How cold it is here, — Elia thought. — Pinfar was right, when he told about their strange laws of nature. Ah, Pinfar… You promised that we would meet each other, complete
