Dimitri

I'm going through the studio. I don't know where I am. What is this place? Still a question that can't be answered for now.

I'm scared. I already saw many Searchers, who were running after me. I lost them, but I'm still scared.

I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to be here. And that demon. He hears on Roxana. They are like siblings sometimes. Maybe they feel that way.

But I want to get out. I want to get home. I...I want to escape. I collapse. Now, laying on the floor, it doesn't make me feel better. Tears start to come out from my eyes.

Suddenly I hear someone. A female. I turn around. A child with black wings, on their ends white. She has two horns. One of them is black and the other white. She has blondish-black hair. Her eyes are black with white pupils. She wears trousers with suspenders, also dark cyan colored shoes. She has a gray shirt.

She says:

"Dimitri. This is a message you have to remember when you wake up. This studio is full of monsters. You will have to choose who is your friend and who's your foe. I would say beware the Ink Demon, but he is on your side. Even if you both dislike each other, you have to try to get you both on good terms. If you don't, you might lose someone very important to you."

"Who is the one very important to me?"

"You don't know?"

"I might have known it, but everything is hurting my brain. I just can't hold it."

Uma looks at me. She says:

"The same pain...I had it too. But if you can stay alive, you can slowly catch the logic."

"It feels like nothing makes sense."

"Well, it only feels that way. But somewhere is the truth, that can tell us the sense."

It is quiet. She thinks. I stare. I just hope everything will be okay. Uma looks at me again.

"Don't lose your necklace. If it breaks, take only the crystal."

"Why?"

"It plays out of no reason an important role. If you lose it, you'll die immediately."

"Thank you for telling me all of this."

Uma is turned with the back to me. There is a pause. Then she breaks it.

"Roxana. Keep an eye on her. If she gets attacked and she can die any second, take her...and run to the Ink Demon. He will turn her into a creature as he is to save her life. If that happens, try to help her get used to her new self. She has a childish character in her. She might get in trouble. She needs you Dimitri. She..."
