No More Further 2: One Step Back

Chapter 1

Nicholas has been sitting in a white room of marbles. He sits there, and has nothing to do. Nothing at all. He is facing the isolation. His thoughts or sounds are unable to pass the room, which means that he has no one to communicate with. He is dying mentally. It has been about half-day in the room all by himself. He has no one to talk. All he can do is to sit there and wait for a piece of paper to appear, and he can write down the answers. He sits and waits. Nothing has come out yet. Anwir is probably enjoying the entertainment of watching them suffer.

Same thing with Zephyr. His whole life is full of debates, discussions, and negotiations. He can stand any second not having a topic to consider about. However, he is now. Nothing at all. He has been checking the box that the paper might be in 24/7. But nothing is inside. C'mon Anwir! What do you want? He thinks. Usually, Anwir would walk in, or someone would reply. But nothing occurs. He feels like an animal trapped in the cage. He is waiting for his rescue team, with totally no clue where they would be right now. He is dying. If no one entires, he would end himself. However, Anwir has made a trap so that he can't suicide. Anwir makes sure to put something in his nose that he can't stop breathing, and he makes sure that the room is safe enough for him to always survive.

Finally, a paper appears in Zephyr's box. It contains the following information:

What is your entire mission over hereWhat is your final goalWhat is your race trying to doWhat are the powers of NicholasWhere are all your people now

Answer these questions, I answer yours. One answer one question.

-Anwir Achlys Ayra

Anwir is out of his mind. Zephyr thinks. Why would I ever tell him that? But one answer is one question, so he starts to answer them. Then, he writes the followings:

What is your entire mission over here

Find the Chief, of course.

What is your final goal

Not telling you. I would never give up my own ethnicity for my own life.

What is your race trying to do

Do what we do best.

What are the powers of Nicholas

Anything you can think of. But he's unawake. Give me the Chief to unlock him.

Where are all your people now

Not telling you. Us, Emerthers, don't betray each other.

Answer these questions, I answer yours. One answer one question.

The tops are the priority

Where is the ChiefWas it you that talked to Nicholas in the museumWhat does your race want to doWhen will you let me outWhen does your people plan to attack

Zephyr puts the paper back to the box, hoping for an answer. However, he has no idea what is going on on Nicholas' side. He has no idea that his is suffer of isolation has ended. He doesn't know that Anwir has walked in already, and is now testing on his powers. But still, his powers are still sleeping. He can't be able to use the most of them. Anwir is only doing nonsense. Luckily, his paper has saved Nicholas from it.

Anwir sees the paper, and takes a look at it.

"Nicholas, I got to go now. Seems like your powers need to be awaken now. I guess I need the Chief. Oh, by the way, this paper, I don't think you friend is helping you."

Nicholas has no idea what he is talking about. He needs to rest. He was forced to use his powers, and nothing on Earth can be less exhausting. And now, Anwir finally leaves, and he closes his eyes, and rests.
