'Well, that's easy. Inside your hologram display you will find Cipher Avatar personal space link and when you press it on, you will be transported to your personal training space.'
'Viveibra, thank you.'
Cipher looked pleased with the assistance she had just received from Viveibra.
'Don't mention it, it's my duty to provide you with my best possible services.'
Viveibra seemed to find delight in her service. Cipher could not help it but notice how she was always smiling and full of a glow as she gave an explanation.
Viveibra continued, 'to add on, if you want to come from your personal training space, similarly, you will have to put on a Transpirantor on your wrist and when you press the right button, it gives you a small display hologram and when you select the option to link back to the main hologram space, it should be able to bring you back. You can also use it to enter mission you have been tasked with, from whichever place you are at. I wish you all the best!'
'Thank you once again.' Cipher expressed her gratitude once more, genuinely.
Viveibra just nodded her head. 'Is there anything you still need help with?'
'Nope, you have satisfied my glutton's hunger to the fullest.' Cipher gave a short, half-suppressed laugh.
'Great!' Viveibra shouted in excitement. She knew she had served her purpose, then disintegrated into small particles but still maintained the blue color and fused back to the main blue hologram interface.
In a matter of seconds, Cipher was already onto the hologram display. Within seconds, she was geared up with the transpirantor on her wrist. Ten more seconds later, she had been teleported into her personal training space. It was as she first saw it. The orange-colored rainbow sky, a vast expanse, an eternal sphere, mesmerizing, enthralling, breathtaking, refreshing, and she did feel an eternity of peace lingering in her bosom. It felt just the same as last time, in summary, one of the great moments of her life.
'Hello, Cipher, welcome back.'
The cozy voice in the sky sounded like it did the first time Cipher had an acquaintance with it.
Cipher became extremely joyful when she heard the cozy voice. She had doubts if she was going to hear him again.
'How are you?'
'I am always on the bright side of each day, since my days never change that much, they are always the same. Basically, nothing is new because I have seen it all.'
Is he the ancient of days? Cipher thought, but she did not attempt to ask. She was amazed upon hearing such a response. She couldn't comprehend a human being who would have all their days the same and nothing new ever occurring in one's life.
'I guess you didn't come here to flatter me with just greetings. How can I be of service?'
Cipher giggled, in her mind she talked to herself. I needed an opening and here you just offered it freely. Thanks for saving my energy, I am grateful.
She had been searching for a loophole. It's clear she just found one.
'Hum, I would like to begin my training.' Cipher put forward, of course, not knowing what the reaction would be from the Being up in the sky.
The cozy voice chuckled heartily, but audible enough to Cipher's ears.
'You have to be specific about the thing you really want and need from me?'
This time, when the cozy voice spoke, it did not have a trace of emotion, the words just flowed rhythmically.
'I would like to learn martial arts.'
Cipher conveyed herself as she dressed on her face some seriousness. It came out involuntarily, though she thought the Being in the sky wouldn't care or budge at all, she thought she was insignificant in his eyes.
'Why do you want to learn martial arts?'
It didn't cross Cipher's mind nor did she expect that such a question would come from the Being in the sky. She delayed her response, she had to think about it carefully.
'I want to win missions and tasks granted to me by the intra-multi-gaming voyage, and mostly important for self-defense and spiritual growth.'
Cipher went mute, she had to wait to hear the cozy voice, for she did not know his expression, she couldn't read his body language because he was invisible, and she did not hear emotions coupled up in his voice whenever he spoke.
The cozy voice couldn't help itself but burst out into a hysterical laugh which now annoyed and irritated Cipher. She began to lose some of her patience, but she held herself. She needed him more than anything else at that instance.
According to Cipher's comprehension of the way things were, she did not have much time before her next mission came knocking, therefore she had to get ready, and she didn't want to waste time anymore.
Anytime from where she was, she knew that she might be given a mission, and it could be one composed of the death mode interface feature. Last time she won, not because she was the best, she considered her win to be complete luck. She did not have any fighting skills at the time, but gun shots and she used a bow and arrow. She needed to prepare her combat skills before it was too late. Time was of the essence. She just had one life which she was not ready to lose. She had to protect herself at all costs. What is the best way to do it than to train herself in the martial arts? It was a good starting place, at least she thought.
The cozy voice broke the silence and Cipher's trend of thoughts, 'listen Cipher, the beginning of something great or important is to understand who you are, where you are and where you are coming from before, where you want to go to? And that starts with your name. A name basically defines who we are and that holds great power.'
It's obvious Cipher did grasp something new from the wisdom of her guardian as she referred to him.
'Tell me please, about my name. As you know, I have been in a slumber for a long time and I know less, say nothing about my past. Therefore, I would really appreciate your help.'
Cipher pleaded with all her might, she had to have a head start, she was a newbie, she did not think the gaming system would consider such a thing.
The cozy voice once more flung into strong vibrant laughter but now quite under control and less provocative to Cipher.
'I will not tell you!'
At this moment Cipher frowned, as her countenance changed to that of sadness and disappointment. This time she did feel the strong emotions from the voice in the sky pierce her from the top of her head, into her chest, down her stomach, through her legs, until to her toes. She was speechless, not knowing how she would put up with another argument.
'But I will show you, so that you can learn for yourself!'
Immediately after the cozy voice faded, before Cipher could react, everything around Cipher began to spin around her. The area did not have dust, but where it came from nobody could tell, as a whirlwind of dust and sand encompassed Cipher. She felt being drawn backward as the vortex became strong and stronger.
With a whooping sound she found herself on the battlefield. The battle had just ended, according to Cipher's observation.
The clouds were dark with lightening flashing in the heavens, accompanied by rumbling thunderous stormy sounds.
The rains kept showering huge drops which fell onto the ground with a loud thud.
Cipher could see a female warrior, dressed in armor. She had a golden sword stained with droplets of blood. The rain tried to rinse away the blood droplets, with every splash that hit the golden sword.
She looked to be in her twenties, Cipher could perceive. She had dark short hair, a nicely curved shape, with black boots which had silver knives around them.
Cipher did feel a strong connection between her and the female who stood in front of her.
'Cipher!' a hoarse female voice called out.
Cipher turned to look at who was calling her. Cipher did not recognize her, she was dressed in armor just like the other female who stood in front of her.
In a split of a second, Cipher realized that the female warrior who called out her name was not referring to her but the female in front of her.
At the same moment, Cipher also became aware that she was invisible to these two warriors, though she could smell the blood, feel the wind and how bewildered, devastated the place was. It dawned on her that the female warrior she first met was the original Cipher. She observed her with extra attention and curiosity to learn and study the being before her.
'Yea!' The warrior Cipher replied nonchalantly, who looked hurt and bleeding profusely from her mouth, nose and her belly.
Cipher could feel the pain of the warrior Cipher, and the agony she was in. But she looked very vigilant and very determined.
'The ninth wave of Mornogan soul suckers will soon breach into this realm. Do you think we will be able to defend this realm? We have prevailed so far, but the ninth wave of these creatures will definitely penetrate to enter planet Earth? After analyzing the state we are both in, you are already injured, so am I? Let's save ourselves and get the chance to fight another day. Being dead will not help planet Earth, and being alive is better than following our fellow fallen warriors. Look at this from my point of view. When we have gained our strength and recovered, we can continue saving the surviving souls.'
Cipher gazed at the warrior who spoke. She was indeed in a very bad shape. She did not appear like she could fight any further. However, the spirit of a warrior was evident in both friends. You could see it in their bloodshot eyes, the thirstiness and fury radiated from inside them filled all the inter-spaces.
The warrior Cipher was breathing heavily, the pain in her body was unbearable, you could tell from the breathing pattern and the sighs she made, though she could not mourn out loudly. She struggled to suppress all she was feeling.
Warrior Cipher nodded her head sideways thrice. Clearly indicating she did not agree with her friend.
'No, Emma, if we give up now, all the work and the sacrifices made by our sisters would all be in vain and for nothing. If we don't protect the gates, no one will?'
The warrior Cipher's voice was weak, bumpy, rough and strong at the same time.
