This time, I could feel something. A faint connection towards the lady. I could feel that if I wanted I could move towards her without having to depend on a coincidence.
[Now, there is no need to be dependent on the wretched universe or fate. The connection to those bootlicking creatures could now be severed.]
Just then, I heard the sound of something cracking and my body felt light for some reason. There may be some connection with the cracking sound that I happened to hear, but before I could ponder on it, the thought appeared again.
[Remember Traveler, remember the face of the lady. Etch it in your mind, your existence depends on the person being born within her. I cannot tell more than this, but you must not let the connection break.]
Although the words made no sense, somehow I could understand the intent. In order to not forget the face, I entered the house from the backdoor which was open and gazed at the lady. I saw how the man caressed the womb of the lady and seemed to be whispering something. The lady had a happy expression on her face.
Just then the man shouted loudly something which I couldn't hear. But--
-Badump-
I could feel it again. The same sensation, the same feeling, although it was very faint but it was the same.
I sat at the corner of the room with my eyes locked on the lady. Days went by, I followed the lady wherever she went, apart from when she needed to relieve herself. There were multiple times when I felt the same sensation. For some reason I could not hear any of those foreign thoughts anymore. One could see a tiny bulge on the stomach of the lady. Just then, the guide in my hand started to vibrate. It suddenly left my hand and started floating as the pages flipped open.
[I guess I should have informed you. You used all the power stored in the guide. You will have to leave this place soon, Traveler. The time hasn't arrived yet. The connection is still faint, there is still time before the connection becomes strong enough to be recognized by that entity. The power of the guide will restore slowly. I guess you would be able to make it back. Till then you should not come close to this lady. Make sure to remember that.]
The thought this time was strong and I remembered the words clearly.
I moved towards the backdoor, placed by hands on the doorknob. I turned back and gazed at the lady one last time, who was asleep on the bed. Remembering those words, I turned the doorknob and a path covered in fog and rainbow light became visible to me.
I placed a foot on the path and the other, soon I was inside the pathway and the door was far behind me.
Slowly something odd happened to me. I could feel I was losing something, something very dear to me, it seemed to be moving far away from me. I hurriedly remembered the words of the thought from the guide and etched the face of the lady in my mind.
Then I was swallowed by the fog and my foot touched the ground.
Life: He is back!
The warm thought returned.
Death: Hmm.
The cold thought was also the same.
I once again felt empty and incomplete. But then the guide vibrated for a second, the words and the face of the lady flashed briefly in my mind as everything returned back to how it was.
I walked slowly, moving around the dense forest and the vast blue sky seemingly without any goal.
