Shira Pov:
The next thing in my vision after I opened the door is something that was quite unexpected and horrifying.
I saw myself in a glasslike cage. Hanging over and being held up facing down to a crystal full lake.
Is this some kind of joke? I ask feeling quite perturbed. I cannot even move a muscle right now, I seem utterly drained of energy. I have been trying to reach out to Zozo but it is as if I have been completely shut out from within. What the heck is going on, I am honestly terrified at this point. Why does this keep happening to me?.
I have in the past been cut off from Zozo, that time I was in the human world and I lost the memory of my world and who I was. The other time being when we were disconnected when I first found myself in the corridor. But this is different, it is as though if I do not hurry, I might lose her forever. It as though half of my being is dying. I have never being this panicky in my whole life.
I tried screaming but no sound came out, it as though I have being froze up in time. Nothing make sense.
Look here, the pretty damsel is awake once again. I heard a voice that seem to be coming from right above me, I cannot see the entity as I am facing downward. The more I stare at the crystal, the more weak I get, so I decide to shut my eyes. That itself seem as though a strenuous task. My eyeball seem as though they will explode if I shut them a second more, so I open them again. Oh goddess, This is torture.
I cannot even ask the damn entity, who they are and why am I being tortured so.
I know you must be confused, nothing seem to be making sense right? Do not fret, everything will make sense in a little while. We have gone through this for quite some time now. I am almost done molding you into my image, you just have to remember yourself now. The entity announced as though describing the weather.
Oh! And while we wait for the memories to start flooding in, I hope you enjoy again the life I forged for you to live through. You cannot remember but we have been through it for quite a number of times, so i bet it must have been exhilarating being both the protagonist and the antagonist.
You must admit, I am quite the storyteller. Aren't I? You can't comment but I bet you feel the same way. I cannot believe how fun life has being of recent. Playing with your mind, has being the highlight of my existence. The unknown entity said.
What in the name of the goddess, is this deranged person talking about? What storytelling? Whose head is he or she been messing with? That's right, I cannot even detect if the entity is male or female, They sound like the infusion of both if that even make sense.
Well I am truly sorry but everything you just went through is not real, well to some extent. I just wanted to distract you while the Crystal lake work it's magic on you, so I put you in a world where you are the main character together with her dream man and her lovely family. And what is life without a little downside, so I gave you a puzzle to solve. I wish I could hear your input about the whole thing but I understand you are incapable at the moment but am sure we can both agree that I am a genius.
Yes true, A deranged genius is what you are.
How more pathetic can my life be. I refuse to believe this whole thing is real. This must be a nightmare in the history of nightmares. To otherwise think this is real and that a complete psycho has being playing with my life as though I am a toy.. I cannot accept such reality. Goddess please save me! I cried out miserably in my mind.
What must I have done, to find myself in this mess. What did I do to upset this entity. There comes the creepy dreadful feeling once again.
If any of this is real, then the dread I have been feeling is my subconscious trying to tell me I am not safe all this while, I was just oblivious of the fact. But the feeling is back and with a great intensity. Something is about to get terribly wrong.
Just as I thought my head is about to explode, I was attacked by a barrage of memories. Flowing through my head all at once, different emotions interwoven.
It is all coming back to me now, this psycho is a genius indeed albeit a psychotic one.
They seem to know me quite well, my fears and weakness. Stepping mercilessly on my scars and everything that I stand for. It is as though my life has been nothing but a joke.
I must confess, I had made a lot of awful mistakes at my quest to do good. I ruined everything.
Is there even anything I could do at this point to make things right?
Shira, There you go again making that face. I must confess even having seen it on you so many time that I lost count, I am still appalled at how distorted it makes your face look. Why regret the very action that make you so endearing to me. The unknown entity said as though chastising a wayward child.
Me and you both will rule this world, I have been waiting forever for this day and that day is finally here. The day me and you will forever be joined as one. We shall be unstoppable.
You mean destroy the whole world?
I wish I could go back in time and correct the past. Oh Goddess! Please help me.. I would do anything, I prayed silently in my mind. Just grant me the chance to make things right. I fear what the world will become if this entity gain access to my body. The havoc it will unleash. The Woes.
I keep praying to the goddess in my mind, hoping that I can be heard. I am willing to do anything, no matter the price I have to pay.
Silly Shira, you think this is your first time making such furtive effort. The unknown entity comment as though they are able to hear my mind.
I may not be able to hear your thoughts but your furtive cry for help each time you come back is the only weakness to your existence. But do not worry once we merge, all those unnecessary emotions will be discarded.
Now get ready to welcome the very essence of perfection.
I could feel a foreign energy trying to invade my body, as cracks starts forming on the glass cage I am being restrained in. Oh goddess please help me! Do not forsake me.. I cried out with every ounce of energy I could muster.
