The Compass
by AlwayzHuman
'There was a time, many years ago, when humans had to find their other half without any form of help. However, a greater power saw that these beings could not find their other half nearly as easily as the animals that they walk with. In fact, most of these beings end up with the wrong half. So the compass was created, appearing in black ink on the inner wrist of every child during their tenth birthday. This compass would point to the child's soulmate and turn red when the soulmates would meet. Each compass design is different, but they all function the same.' Virgil had already read the passage ten times that day alone. Not that anyone can blame him, it is his tenth birthday after all. He was supposed to be getting his compass today and he couldn't be more excited. He wondered what his soulmate would be like. Would they like playing games with him? Would they prefer reading? What about playing outside? His mind raced with possible ideas. They all stopped when he felt a tingle on the inner part of his left wrist.
