Chapter 6 - What You Believe In

Next thing I knew, I was in a gigantic building, filled with people walking with their guardian angels. The building was a clean white color, and it looked so shiny and sparkly. "What is this place?" I question in awe, as I look around. I look at the floors, the walls, and the ceilings.

"This is the afterworld lobby. All of these people are souls that have made it to the afterworld. As you can see, there are giant doors everywhere, and in those giant doors are your very own afterworld. Aka, the world you desire. It's different for everyone, which is why people are able to go through the same door, but end up in different areas." Heasa explained to me while I slowly walked up to one of the gigantic doors. It was tons taller and wider than me, and it had this warm white light illuminating from it.

"I have so many questions..like can people come to my world? And is there stuff to do here?" I question Heasa, while looking over at her. She giggles at my curiosity and cluelessness.

"Well, there's your after world, and then there's THE afterworld. Two completely different things. Right now, you're standing in the lobby of the afterworld. If you were to step outside, you'd be in the afterworld. It's similar to earth where people can interact with one another, watch movies, play games, and all that. Only difference is you can not receive or inflict harm. So even if someone were to punch you, you wouldn't be hurt by it at all. And then there's your afterworld, which is your very own world with things you desire. Yes people can come to your world, though you'd have to invite them personally." Heasa explained to me. I then walked over to this wooden door, that had 'Exit' above it. I looked at the door with curiosity.

"Alright..where is this great evil, and where is Suruyu?" I ask, before turning away from the door. Despite all the opportunities, I had a clear goal that needed to get done. Everything seemed so peaceful, and majestic, but I had earth to get back to. I had home to get back to.

"I'm right here." Suruyu suddenly blurts out from behind me, as she walks up to me with a smile. I immediately turn around and face her with a bit of a smile as well. "I was in my afterworld. There were so many cute little kitties, I almost got stuck there." Suruyu said with a slight giggle.

"I forgot you liked cats so much." I respond to her with a chuckle. "..If you didn't know, I still really like lions. I'm sure my afterworld would have a bunch of them around." I add.

"Ofcourse I do, you told me that the first time we met. That was literally our first topic of conversation. The animals we liked the most." Suruyu responded back to me with a reminiscent smile.

Suddenly, the entire building that we were in started to shake, and rumble violently. The walls around us started to distort as well, and become this black space of nothingness. Everyone around started to yell and panic. "What the hell is going on?!" I screamed as I looked around. Heasa and Heasu did as well, before their eyes widened when they landed on a man.

"I think it's him..he's the one causing all the destruction to the afterworld and Memory world." Heasa said while pointing over to a man that was walking very calmly, despite all of the rumbling. I slowly looked up, and I couldn't get that good a picture of the man, but I knew he looked familiar. He felt familiar.

"How do you know?!" Suruyu questioned. "Guardian angels and gods are able to sense the darkness in souls. Along with deep emotions like sadness, anger, and pain. That one has a lot of darkness..though for some reason he also has-" Heasu was beginning to explain, before I started walking up to the man with squinted eyes.

It was hard for me to walk up to him, as everyone was panicking and trying to leave the lobby. "Tsuki what are you doing?!" Suruyu questioned me in a panic, before falling down to her knees from all of the rumbling. It felt like an earthquake, and it pushed my equilibrium off a lot.
