DEMIGOD: DAWN OF TIME

WHISPERS....

Well..., This was outrageous.
I placed my hands on my waist, as I wondered how my life was this funny.
I was here, getting scared of those who brought me to this place themselves.

Sighing, I looked up again and thought of maybe walking around to find anything or anyone.

But before I could move, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Neera?"

I immediately turned around to find the twins standing while staring at me in shock and confusion.

They were probably wondering how I flew from my room, down here. Maybe because I had superpowers or so....

But I immediately focused on them back when they asked "why are you here?"

"How are you here?" Zach asked with a more confused gaze.
"I uh...fell...." I lightly said, not really knowing what to say.

Then they turned their gazes wide as they moved closer to me, suddenly saying "oh heavens! how did you fall? Did you hurt yourself?"

"Where did you hurt yourself?" Abel asked as they continued circling me in check for any injuries.

For some reason, I wasn't really expecting a reaction like this from them.
And yet, I still wonder why I was actually expecting them to be annoyed or something...

But neither the less, I ensured them "I am fine".

"Oh thank God!"

They said with a very heavy sigh, not that I am exaggeratedly saying that as to what you might be thinking. Which also made me confused, I mean I have been confused since the beginning of my life.
And yet, I would say this just piles up as one of them.

"Let's get you back then..." They said
And I couldn't be happier, so I nodded.

They immediately created a portal, and I stepped in. Finding myself in the room, my room. And I was more than grateful.

But I soon remembered the little bird that I had saved and ran to the window. Luckily the bird was still in the nest, laying on the window's stool.

Now I wondered how I would get it back to the tree.

"How did you fall exactly Meera?" Abel asked, still confused.
Why wouldn't they...

So I turned towards them, with the little bird in my palms as I gently whispered" I was trying to save a little bird from falling"

They then suddenly seemed to finally understand as their mouths formed an 'o'.
Before they then stared at eachother with meaningful glances, that I seem not to know of.

But they eventually turned to face me back, and said "is that the bird?"

I nodded.

But Abel turned to me "Neera, you should have just asked us to do it for you..., You shouldn't have stressed yourself"

First of all...
The branch was about snapping, I wasn't permitted with enough time to call anyone.
And second of all, why would I do that.

So I just said "the bird needs to go back to the tree".

"Right.." they both nodded as they moved towards me.

"Don't worry we will do it.. for you Neera" they smiled, and Abel took the little nest up in his palms, while the little bird just sat frozen, staring at us all like it was being kidnapped.

And then, they both just went out.

Making me stand confused.

But after a while, I just lay flat on the bed and stared at the Victorian styled ceiling.

I just sighed as I thought again.
When all these would end, and I would wake up from this dream.

Indeed, I have come to a conclusion that this is all just a dream, no matter what they say.
And Maya really isn't evil.

Well, she could be in a dream. And that is why I want to wake up fast. Because who knows, I might see my father next, maybe also as some wizard too.
But I wish not to see that.

After a while of staring at nothing exactly, I turned my head to the window and found the sun already setting.
I stood up to the window to watch the view.
Very soon, evening came so swiftly.

And within a short while, it was already night. The time really seems to flow faster than usual here.
I had already changed into the night dress I was given by those siren girls again. And I was also given food.

So without further ado, I lay to sleep. As I count the amount of time remaining for me to wake up from this crazy dream.

Whispers.......
Whispers.....
Silent Whispers....., They flow....
Unknown....

And within time, my eyes fluttered open.

I sat up on the bed and stared around, realising I was still in the room. But I couldn't find the source of those unknown Whispers.

It was like, no one was actually talking, but I could somehow hear faint expressions of thoughts.
How was that possible?

But what really awakened me was when I began hearing my name...
My name!

I suddenly felt my body moving on its own, as if I was manipulated by the one voice calling me.
As I gently got up from the bed.

Then I walked slowly towards a wall in the room, having no idea why I was doing so, as I tried reconnecting my body to my senses. But I failed to have control over my body anymore.

Then, I stopped at the wall. Staring at nothing.

But then, after a while of staring. My mind began wondering on its own, if there was maybe something behind the wall that I was to be seeing.
But I also felt ridiculous.

But then I decided to just try, and by the time I reached my fingers towards the wall, I could suddenly feel my fingers sinking deeper into the wall, while touching nothing.
I couldn't feel the wall under my fingers anymore. As I watched in horror how my fingers continued going deep inside the wall, like it was some illusion.

How was this possible!
Now I was certain, that I was dreaming!

But before I could react, I felt something suddenly pull me. Drowning me completely into the wall.
And that....was the last thing I saw..
____________________________________________

My eyes are awaken, but I still saw nothing.
I only felt breeze around me, like I was stagnant in a position, with void around me. But I could still feel different phases of the atmosphere passing me by.
It looked like I was going through unstable time.

How....
I was getting scared, was I going to die!?
No!
I closed my eyes shut as I wished for this to stop!

And almost immediately, I felt the many phases of atmosphere passing me by stop. The time finally stayed stable, and everything remained normal also.

Then, I finally opened my eyes and suddenly found myself in a hall.

Wha....., What am I doing here?....

I slowly stared around, just to find a long hall, with torches around.
Where am I?....

How am I here?.....

I couldn't understand anything, but I immediately thought of finding my way back to my room.
I knew I couldn't find anything if I just stood still there, I should look around for someone or something.

And I hope it turns out to be the twins, not someone I'm not really comfortable with. Like the queen or the siren girl ivory...

I strayed down the hall gently,
But then, as I got deeper, I heard something.

Voices.

I immediately proceeded my walk, and very soon, I found a door, that was slightly opened. I walked closer to it, realising that was where the voices were coming from. And I gently opened it.

But as soon as I did, my gaze widened, meeting everyone.
