"I am the Universe," she says, ending my moment.
"Sun; lava; fire," I reply from out of nowhere.
"Go on."
"Silver moon that rules the sea." Then comes a long pause. "Forces rage inside of me."
"That's good. Again! I am the Universe."
"Ocean; rain; water. I remember who I am." I stare up at her. "Ancient being that made all man."
"I am the Universe."
"Magic; sight; wisdom." I turn away from her and shut my eyes tight. "Sacred knowledge in my brain. Blood of angels fill my veins."
"Yes! I am the Universe!"
Suddenly the words come easier to me, as though I'm one with their source.
"Fame; money; power. I turn metals into gold; use my mind to form new worlds."
"I am the Universe!"
"Thought; silence; wisdom." Then I look up at her again, to see her eyes closed. "My mind rules o'er everything! I am she who reigns as king!"
"Now, Mary!" She opens her eyes and they're ablaze. "Now, you can enter!"
And somehow her words transport us from that sandy beach to a dark room. Its only light, a golden symbol glowing beneath me.
