Margana: To Seek The Truth

3. The Call of Trial

The winds around me created tiny cuts throughout my body. Gusts that were as sharp as blades, it felt as if I went through the wrong gate. Was I supposed to go through the Gate of Light? I don't know! I just tried to endure the pain. Is it actually tearing my body apart? Can I even survive the trip through this? This is insanity! After that intense confrontation with the element of wind itself, I was trapped in a place, it looked like outer space.

I wondered how in the world I can still breath fine! Isn't this supposed to be impossible? I'm not sure about anything anymore. Coming at me, I saw stones flying towards me as I just floated through this place. I can't control myself, how do I even move? My brain's filled with thoughts, anxiety, worries, and questions. I shout, "Hey, 'She'! Please, get me out of this place! I don't know how I can possibly survive, you've got the wrong person here!"

Stupid me, I tried to "swim" through this space with literally zero gravity. The game is probably over for me from here on out. How many times have I been close to death? I don't know.. Whatever, it doesn't matter now. I'm still trying though! Just keep swimming through this space. I took a glimpse all around me, looking for answers. I wanted to accept my so-called "fate", but I just can't. I wanted to change it, I'm not letting myself go just yet. I had some difficulty when it comes to looking around, but no harm in trying, right? Please... Some— One, please, help me!

I closed my eyes, my body in immense pain to the point of numbness, my thoughts descending to absolute zero... I was ready. Then suddenly, a blinding beam of light struck my shut eyes. "Was this heaven?" I thought that I was finally at peace. I opened my eyes to see the world around me, and I found myself inside a... cloud? A cloud?! I was so confused. One thing was for sure, I could walk on— air. Yeah you heard me! Air! Now I simply continued further only to find transparent steps that revealed itself while stepping on it. Where does this lead to?
