Messed up! The Great Beginning

Hey, can we meet tomorrow? I want to talk to you about something important. She texted.

Sure, where and when? I asked.

Meet me by the main bridge to the Starjelly Fields. I'll be there by 6pm. She answered.

Starjelly Fields? But that's so far. That's like 300 kilometers away from Travo. My mom used to take me there with her car. Why would she want to meet there? How will she get there?!

Uh, ok I guess? I texted.

Great, thank you. Laura replied.

You're welcome ^^. I texted and then went offline.

I still can't figure out how she's gonna get there. Is someone gonna drive her there? All this thinking made me think, how will I get there? I got up and got the map from my room and sat back down on the couch. There's a warp pad in a forest that's close to the road the bridge is connected to. It's like a ten minute walk. That should work.

I tiredly teleported the map back to my room. I should work on that. Maybe I should scan a few places in my room to teleport my stuff into. Like my desk or wardrobe. And that's what I did. I got up and went into my room. I picked a few places and saved the coordinates. This will make my life much easier. Maybe I could name them? So I don't confuse them? I should ask Axel tomorrow. I'm going to therapy anyway.

I'm still so tired from the lack of sleep last night... This couch is so comfortable suddenly.. I could just...

...

I woke up and it was dark around me. Well, not completely, lanterns are hanging from the sky, giving off a soft white light. I'm in the Deep Dark, but where's Darkness? Usually, he greets me instantly by towering over me with his big white eyes staring. I look around myself.

"Nothing but black..." I murmured.

My eyes widened for a second before they filled with disappointment.

I had already forgotten that my voice sounds like old me. I sound like a fucking child. It makes sense because I died when I was 10 years old. I still remember how warm the fire felt...

Ugh... I didn't think that this would bother me so much. I thought that I was over this.

Wait, what's that in the distance? I see something bigger.. glowing. I should probably wait for Darkness, but..

I started walking towards it as my curiosity took over. After a small while, I began to see tall and slim black pine trees. I guess the closer I'll get to the glowing thing, the more I'll be able to actually see.

I'm now walking through a black pine tree forest. The ground is flat but covered in dark grass that macht the trees with occasional small white flowers sprinkled on top. They remind me of the forget me not. The grass is quite pleasant to step on. It's soft against my hooves even though it looks spikey. Occasionally, there are small animals jumping through, like for example a rabbit but black with white eyes, nose and whiskers.

It's so peaceful here isn't this supposed to be some kind of hell?

Soon enough after a solid 10 minute walk the forest ended and I was greeted by what looks like a small plaza except that the walls are the forest and bushes. The ground is now made out of dark grey bricks. In the middle is a fountain that's dry. It has symbols carved into it. It looks like it's been dry for generations. There is one symbol that came more than once on the fountain that I recognize. It's the Yin and Yang symbol.

"Interesting.." I whispered.

Other than the fountain there is also a big trapezoid shaped concrete block. It looks like those ancient mexican temples but smaller. It has stairs in the middle of it with different symbols like on the fountain chiseled into it. It has candles right by the stairs and at the top is... a throne?

Who is it for?

"Welcome to the highest point of the Deep Dark." Darkness said.
