Immediately my blood touch the gem, I could feel a shift in space and the both of us was sucked into the gem.
The next thing I know I am in this corridor, the one that has no end. I have been here before in my dreams. Why am I here again?. Zozo are you here with me? I asked as she was not here with me due to whatever reason the last time I was here.
Zozo talk to me before I invade your space, that should do the trick as she don't like me invading her space unless she invites me.
Master, there are times I imagine I could hate you so much, even if that is not possible. This is one of those time. I told you not to trust that blood sucking evil twin of yours but you would not listen.
What would you have me do? She had Pellow and Lance and I could not hurt her. I had no choice.
Hmph she said irritated. Now where are we?
I have been here before but in my dreams as I walk towards the door. The last time I was here, you got pulled out of me, am glad this time that is not the case.
I could hear the screams once again. The painful anguish seemingly coming from multitudes.
You are here again. There comes that voice. I have been expecting you and as it seems you are quite ready for what lays ahead.
Can you tell me who you are now? I ask the voice the voice that seem to be coming from the all over the corridor.
I am who I am. I am you and you, Me. I am within and without. But you can call me The Corridor.
What is this place? I heard Zozo confuse voice in my head.
Stop all this talks that make no sense, are you trying to be speak in riddles, I suppose you want to sound all mystifying but we really do not have time for that. You should show us who you really are, if you are not a coward. Zozo speak through me yet again.
Zozo, I thought I told you not to go about speaking through me, if you want to say anything, you should come out and speak through your mouth.
Am sorry Master, I tried coming out but I could not. I just could not hold it in, this whole situation is annoying.
Apologies Corridor, my familiar sometimes speaks out of turn, can you kindly tell me why am I here again.
It is cute to see you think you and your familiar are two separate entity. You two are one. She is the extension of your being. She just conveyed Whatever you are feeling deep down and what you are holding back on. When you grow, she grows. When you flourish, she flourish. Like I said, I am no foe, you asked a question and I responded. I am only a guide to whoever comes through me.
The door you are standing by hold answers to your past. The last time you came here, you could not open it because you are not strong enough. If you had forced it, you would have been lost in the web of your mind.
The answer to why you are here is also behind that door. but I must warn you, everything is not as it seems. The past is a perilous place. And then the voice is gone.
What do you mean by that? I asked but what answered was a eerie silence. Even the cries I was hearing stopped. I could only hear the sound of my own breathing.
Master, I want to say we should not open this door but I feel we have to. I heard Zozo said in my head.
There is a lot of things that does not make sense and since we found ourselves here, there has been a difference. I know you can also feel it. My space is no longer pitch black but grey and it does not even feel weird instead it feels like my natural habitat. I feel more energetic and there is this strong wave of energy running through your sea of consciousness and now a red thin line has appeared. Everything in your body seems to make sense and not make sense at the same time.
I understand what Zozo is saying, there has really being a change since I got here. I have an idea of what happened but it just did not make sense. I can not seem to imagine how that can be possible. Although nothing seem to make sense anymore.
I am scared. I fear what might be behind this door. I heard some door are mearnt to remain shut, but now I feel trapped and I know opening this door is my only escape.
I think this is what being at a crossroad feels like. I hope Lance and Pelow are okay. The last time I was here I was pulled out but it seem that will not be the case this time.
Dear goddess grant me strength. I feel like I will need it. If truly what's lays behind the door is answers, with the amount of cries and anguish I felt, I really do not know if it is answers I want to know.
The last time I was here, I had been quite eager to open the door, but now that I could actually open the door, I feel a surge of anxiety.
Master, your spirit seem vexed. I think you could meditate for a while, it should help. You cannot open the door, with your current disposition. You need to be calm.
Zozo seem to be right, Meditating right now might do me good. I sat down and meditate and I could start to feel a sense of calmness wash through me. It feel as though a hand is laid on me and it is spreading a soothing sensation all over my body. I sat there meditating for quite a while, then I feel a sunden change in space.
Master, I think it is time to leave. The corridor seem to feel we have over stayed our welcome.
I open my eyes to see what Zozo is on about and the corridor that seem to have no end seen to be closing in on me, it is moving toward me at a fast pace I fear it will squash me if it reach me.
I have no choice but to open the door and what is behind it, nothing could have prepared me for it.
