Beyond The Universe.

Chapter 5:- The..... Thing??.

It was beautiful and hypnotizing. The disc started to float in air. Different colourful shapes of light emerged from the central hole. It was a beauty that was forcing me to look at it. It was making me lose my control over my senses.

I suddenly realised that my index finger was slowly fitting itself in the disc's hole. I couldn't control my own finger. It was working on its own, as if it had its own brain. As soon as my finger had fitted itself inside that hole,  the magical light show stopped.

The disc twisted right to left,  and then stopped with a soft jerk. The disc suddenly started expanding...no,  it was actually opening.  The rings started separating from each other. They opened in a uniform pattern- the outermost ring breaking first, and rising up just as soon as it broke away.  They rose in such a way that it formed the shape of a glass- wider at top and narrowing towards the base. The rings stopped after a few minutes, only the smallest ring was left behind-  which was stuck on my finger.

The rings had a wide gap between them....about a finger's length. It was enough for me to see through.

Suddenly, a white light started falling from the rings upon my finger. No, it wasn't falling; to be precise - the light was pouring on my finger. It was like a mini waterfall or rather a lightfall. It was breathtaking! The light fell from the inner circumference of the rings. I had the view from the top.

By looking at it, I felt that a huge lot of mass was falling on my finger; with tremendous speed and power. The lightfall seemed to have no end. But to my astonishment, I felt absolutely nothing on my finger. Well, of course light won't weigh anything! Maybe it was an illusion that made the light look as if it had mass.

It was like a heavenly waterfall falling on my finger.

I then stared at it from the side, and observed that it was a thin sheet of light. I could faintly see through it. As I kept on looking, I saw the light forming a shape. I saw two, no three feet....oh wait,  not feet but claws...no, it was a single stick. I then realised that the "supposedly feet" were shifting their shape. It never remained in a fixed form.

Gradually, its upper body started forming. It was covered in a shiny velvet cloth. The cloth  was fitted at the neck like a dog's collar. The rest of it fell down to its ankles. The cloth had no opening for the hands, otherwise it would have looked like a loose dress.

The thing was finally formed,  and the lights stopped.

I literally glared at it, not believing that there was something on my finger. Something that was not supposed to be there.

I looked at its face and my expression softened.  Its eyes were the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen or imagined. Unlike its legs, the number of its eyes remained same; but the shape and colour of its iris kept on changing. This transition of the iris was drastic, but yet it was almost unnoticeable; maybe because of how perfectly each form settled with its face. No matter what its eyes changed into, it was yet the most beautiful pair.

Its skin was pale yellow, very smooth and shiny. Its face cut too, seemed to shift and change. It had lips of pure, bright pink colour which stood out abstractly on its face. Its nose was also never the same.

In spite of the frequent changes in its features, it didn't seem awkward to my eyes. Maybe it was because of the gradual and perfectly timed shift...the features changed in the same way as the hands of a clock do.

It was the most heavenly creature I had ever seen. It was simply serene, full of tremendous power, yet calm. It was a picture of perfection that all the components of universe had combined to form. It was glorious. Just looking at it made me speechless and awestruck.

I was so deeply looking at that divine beauty, that I jumped with astonishment when it opened its mouth.

Its mouth had nothing inside, it was blank....and what made me dumbstruck was its colour. It was colourless,..but  it it didn't seem transparent. It had some color...but I can't tell which one......actually it was no colour at all, yet it was also not colourless for sure. It was something my brain could not process. It was impossible in even a dream.

I was staring with my eyes as wide open as they can be. My mouth hung open to the breaking point, and my breath was caught in my throat.

For a brief moment I thought...

"What is this creature??!!".
