After successful completion of the first chakra, Banshee was admitted to activating the next chakra which was called the Svadhisthana. When she turned to the next page, it was written: The second chakra is about our emotions, well-being, and creativity. You must prove the balance between your emotions and logic. Your physical and mental well-being is affected by the imbalance of your Second chakra. An emotional person is always weak and his/her creativity is blocked.
When you prove the balance between your emotional and logical states, you will feel pleasure. When your second chakra is activated you will be awarded an orange symbol.
Banshee was passing her hard days. Every day she felt more alone and missed her mother more and more. It was heartbreaking to see her mother's memories every day. It is like every memory has an amount of the energy of its owner, which surrounds us with sorrows together. It is not only about death, in any situation where some are far away the memories remain with a feeling of heavy sorrow. Banshee didn't have any other idea, the only thing she could do was to continue the way her mother used to go.
She thought it is only her mother's memory and whatever about her mother that causes her emotions and weaknesses, but we can't imagine where emotions come from, that's why we can't stop it.
Banshee went to the hospital to visit Ethan. The doctor had already discharged Ethan. She went to Ethan's home to see him. When Ethan saw her, he was excited to share his happiness with his best friend.
"Hey Banshee, I am so happy to see you. I wanted to call you, but it is so good you are here now. See this is my tickets" Said Ethan smiling and elated "I am going to leave this city with my family, I had bad days here you know better than anyone else. I will miss you, you were the best friend I could ever have."
Ethan was leaving the city with his family, and he was happy for himself. He didn't know he was the only one left to Banshee at that time. When he was talking to Banshee about leaving, there was something like cancer squeezing Banshee's heart. This was a new kind of feeling and so strange.
"Oh really! That, that is great Ethan, I hope you have a happy life. I will miss you too." Said Banshee with a choked voice. She felt she wanted to say something, but what was it?
"Should I tell him to stay, he is the only one left to me but I am not the only one for him. He has his own life and he has everything he needs and doesn't need me" She thought to herself.
"The flight is for tomorrow at 10 am, would you come to see me off?" said Ethan.
"Yeah of course I do, I will come to see you tomorrow, I have to go now bye," said Banshee in a hurry and left.
When Banshee came home, the empty homemade her more emotional and sad. She felt like she was attacked by silence every moment and the walls surrounded her by sorrows and loneliness. It wasn't a known state for her. It was the first time she was feeling such things.
"Why does it hurt, even if he is alive and happy? It is so crazy emotions are really stupid, I should be happy because he is going to leave a toxic place and he will find his happiness" She thought to herself.
Emotions look like a candle flaming when you think it is like a breeze flaring the candle. To stop flaming and let it blackout, stop thinking about what makes you emotional.
Banshee wasn't an ordinary girl. She knew how to deal with the feeling that isn't worth thinking about. She thought it is because she is alone and she needs someone to share her joy and sorrows with. This is how she could get rid of it.
She started relaxing herself to control her emotions and she did it. The other day she went to the airport and gave him a picture gallery of their good times and projects they have completed.
She came back home to take a rest.
The next day she started a new day, she left home for a walk and went to the jungle. But she saw a stranger walking there. She was the only one who could go to the jungle but who was that.
"Hello, who are you and how could you come here?" said Banshee to the stranger.
He stared at Banshee and smiled.
Banshee was astonished that he didn't even say a word.
She repeated her words again and again, but still, the man was silent. She followed him and finally, both of them came to a cascade. And he stopped.
"Banshee! Do you want to know who I am? Come and sit here." said the man and sat.
Banshee was astonished at how he knew her name.
"How did you know my name, and who are you?" said Banshee and sat in front of him.
"I am just a prisoner with no physical walls surrounding me"
"A prisoner?" said Banshee.
"It has a long story, but for now I want to help you open your chakras and reach to the highest level of consciousness as you want"
"But why? I don't even know who you are, why you are trying to help me, and how you did know what I am searching for"
"We are the same Banshee! Just trust me and let me help you"
Banshee was hesitant but she had no other choice so she accepted.
"The next step to open your second chakra is feeling pleasured," said the man.
"But how do I feel pleasured while I lost everything I loved I am no longer happy"
"This is not about having what you like, it is about loving what you have. We can't have whatever we love but we can love whatever we have. Now you have to go home and live your normal life until you find your pleasures"
Banshee wasn't sure if she could find pleasure in her life.
She went home and found her childhood mementos to have a look at. She found her oldest picture when she was only five years old. The picture seemed to be halved. But who was on the other half? She was curious and rummaged the whole house looking for the other half of the picture. She found an old can of her old goods. Her small clothes, boots and finally there was a halved picture of a small boy. When she put both pictures together it was a complete picture. She was confused about what was going on, why she didn't remember anything about that boy, and why the other half of the picture was hidden.
She came back to the jungle where she thought she could find everything about her mother. She found that stranger again and asked him for help. The man said, "Maybe that is a pleasure in your life"
"But how? I don't even know who that person is and why I don't remember"
"It is up to you whether to make it pleasure or consider it as displeasure. Remember whatever you feel about things you attract it."
Banshee was concerned about that old picture. She didn't know who it was and how she could find it. But the most important thing was why her mother hid that picture and why Banshee couldn't remember anything.
She went to the home to look for some evidence to know what the fact is.
She came back to the jungle and looked for evidence around the hill where she found the notebook because that was the only place after home where she could find something about her mother.
Searching around the hill she found another lily flower. When she touched the flower, all of a sudden a door appeared and she interred. Inside the hill, there was a room full of books. But where was that?
She started reading every book. But she found a book titled Menticide. She found everything written about brainwashing inside the book. Now she knew she only didn't remember anything before her 5 years of age, while all her friends did. She was so broken and downcast. But she thought her mother had a reason to do such a thing.
She continued searching other books to see what else she could find.
She cleaned the table which was soiled and she found a letter on the table. It was her mother's handwriting.
It was written:
My dear Banshee!
I know what you feel now. I am so sorry for what happened but you had better forget everything about your past. If you are reading this it means I am already dead. I am not your real mother, I adopted you. You were in the orphanage with your brother. When your brother was adopted by a rich family you were alone and when I saw you, I thought we could be a good family. You are not my biological daughter but you mean the whole world to me. I removed all your childhood memories before you begin your new life. I just wanted to give you a new life and remove all those hurting memories from your mind. You deserve to live happily, so I have written this letter to tell you, I destroyed everything about your little brother, so you can't find him until your 6th chakra is opened. You will find your brother when your mission with the notebook is completed.
Banshee was so excited after reading the letter.
"I have a brother! I am not alone" said Banshee to herself and got out of the secret room.
Banshee tried a lot to remember something about her brother but she couldn't. She had a lot of trust in her mother, thinking she will find her brother when the mission is completed.
Everything about the notebook was getting more interesting for Banshee and now she had pleasure in life. She was so happy about having a brother. She opened the notebook again and she got the orange symbol with a message" you have opened the second chakra".
