Margana: To Seek The Truth

4. The Call of Destiny

Another beam of light came. Soon after, I heard a voice saying "Let It begin." It wasn't familiar to me, it wasn't 'She'. Cut the thoughts! The stairs started shaking like crazy and, and...! The steps around me that appeared whenever I went in a certain direction were gone, the one I'm stepping on is still visible. Please, I have tons of experience, don't fail me now! Oh hell, the same scenery I was when I first came here.. it's surrounding me! Not again, I can't survive this one more time. Hmm... But I still feel alright. In fact, my wounds are healing. The tiny platform I was stepping on was sinking into the abyss of darkness, I could just feel it.

The Esse-ver? The heck! I wished I could've stayed in a different realm. I felt a huge pound, I hit rock bottom. Another voice came from nowhere, a whisper I should say; "Shh.. Do you hear it? It is still looking for you." I shook my head, what did I just hear?! Fine, I took their word for it. I calmed my inner thoughts and just remained silent. I heard a low hum coming from the... southwest! I should run, it's the best move and I should head to the northwest.

But what if It is the solution to this crisis? Am I just running away from my chances of getting out? What if this is all a mind game! "Agh!" I screamed in frustration. Another voice came into my head saying, "Go for It, explore the consequences of destiny." Am I possessed? Should I go?! The low hum was getting closer and closer each and every second, should I stop and turn back? ... You know what! I'll go, whatever, I'll just trust my judgment.

I screamed in a manner full of rage, as I got nearer, It stopped. I was met by a barrier, I touched it and I got electrocuted— well, slightly. Please let this be the right choice! A deep breath in and I went through. God! It hurts so bad, I'm... numb though? It's fine, I can still crawl, I'll just push myself through this. Bit by bit, I see two doors, again. I looked up and saw doors saying "Eternity" to the right and; "Dystopia" to the left. "Not this again!" Eternity was the counterpart of light, and dystopia for dark. If I went through the door of darkness, the answer should be light, it has to be! But... What if they're just tricking me into thinking that? Does selecting the wrong door lead to death? Whatever, I'll just do the same thing that got me within this space anyway. Trust my gut I guess. Hold on, I can move again! Thank God it didn't last long. I closed my eyes shut and just barged into the light that calls itself "Eternity". "I hope this was the right choice."
