I had to get out of here.
I had to leave.
I had never been so scared. Never did I think that a bird could make me shit my pants.
But it did.
Of course not literally.
I wanted to get out.
But the moment I tried to make a step backwards my back hit something hard.
Looking back, I saw I hit one of the many statues that no longer where in their places.
And it was not alone.
I was now surrounded by every single statue that was in the throne room.
Both men and women were standing there surrounding me, destroying even the last bit of hope escaping them.
The statues that represented animals, now more alive than ever, were in front of the munanoid statues, and whenever I tried coming near, the would retaliate.
The lion jumped on me, only for him to return back to his place once I came closer to the painting.
The bird was slowly coming nearer.
Looking back at the statues, I realized that the statues started moving.
They started to make way.
In the middle of the swarm there was now a free passage way.
For a second I thought they were giving me way, but that thought disappeared the moment two new statues appeared.
Now the two wardens of the throne were approaching.
Slowly but surely.
I started retreating.
Until I've hit the wall.
The I started hunching down.
Perhaps I hoped that I could somehow push back the wall, and if not, go into it.
But I couldn't.
And the statues continued to come closer.
But then.
The statues changed.
Rather, their faces.
Everyone, except for the two wardens, had now twisted smiles.
And they started to cry.
But their tears were red.
And I knew that it was blood.
Then, both of the wardens, no matter how much I tried resisting, grabbed me, and pulled me up.
And then they made me look at the painting.
And I saw as the bird slowly began to be bigger.
Unable to move I was forced how that thing left the painting.
First its beak, then it's head, and then, the rest of its body.
I closed my eyes, hoping that whatever happened, it better ended quickly
...
Nothing happened.
No more laughing, no more screeching, and I was free.
Huh?
Who said that?
I slowly opened my eyes.
And again, I had a weird sense of Deja-vu.
I was again in the void, the only difference being, that it was no longer dark.
I couldn't see the start, nor the end of this place.
But I could see one thing.
A big blue crow sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
Yes, it was holding a cup of tea with its wings, and drinking tea from it.
I was about to ask where I should sit down, but I couldn't even utter a single word from my mouth.
It made a chair appear before, and again, asked me to take a seat.
Wait, was it serious?
<
Oh, great, you're back.
<
No, I just completely forgot you were a thing.
<<*sob* How could you, *wimmer* I thought we were important to you. *Wääää*...>>
I was again dumfounded. Can the bird read my mind?
Gods? Imprisoned? Whaaat?
<
Shut up, please.
With each other? More like you talking to me. I can't say anything.
Huh.
Wait. I can no longer hear the other Kaido's talk inside me.
Are they gone?
Did he heal my personality disorder?
Thanks ... I guess.
Soooo. äähhh. where should I start?
Why am I here?
What was this golden throne room that suddenly turned into that hell hole?
What happens now?
I could see this crow smirking.
And I didn't like it at all.
