Something stirs within me, an unsettling sense of disquiet that refuses to be ignored. Despite the odds stacked against me, I find myself still standing, a lone figure cast adrift in the vast expanse of existence.

With each step forward, I will inch closer to the truth that has eluded me, guided by the faint glimmer of hope that burns within my heart. And though the road ahead may be fraught with peril, I will not falter. I will not rest until I stand in your presence, my salvation within reach.

"I'm coming to find you." As I utter these words, memories flood my mind, fragments of the past piecing together like shards of a broken mirror.

Silence.

"✋︎🕯︎💣︎ ☝︎⚐︎✋︎☠︎☝︎ ❄︎⚐︎ 👍︎⚐︎💣︎☜︎ ☞︎✋︎☠︎👎︎ ✡︎⚐︎🕆︎"

Eyes looked to me. I'm going to come find you.

As Aliza and I cautiously ventured through the shadowy underground labyrinth, our only guide the feeble glow of our torches, we stumbled upon the second enigma—a cunning strip of azure snow stretching ominously before us. I held my breath as Aliza cautiously approached, her every movement calculated to avoid the mysterious trap.

As she cautiously advanced, her movements guided by a flickering beam of light, a sudden obstacle emerged—a haphazard cluster of bones, stark against the icy blue snow. Caught off guard, Aliza's progress came to an abrupt halt, her startled cry echoing through the desolate passages. With a swift, involuntary step backwards, her foot found itself ensnared in the deceptive frost. Reacting on instinct, I propelled myself forward, my hand snatching her arm just milliseconds before she teetered further into the perilous abyss, sparing her from the ominous depths of the treacherous trail.

A piercing cry of agony erupted from my lips as an intense, searing pain shot through my hand, the sensation akin to my flesh being engulfed in flames. With horror, I watched as the gaping hole in my hand widened, a sharp bone mercilessly tearing through the tender flesh, a grotesque intrusion into my hand. 

With deliberate intent, one of the jagged bones veered away from the clustered mass, its sharp tip had punctured through the vulnerable flesh of my hand. It was as though it possessed a malevolent will of its own, deliberately seeking out its target. I gritted my teeth as I grasped the protruding bone, each movement sending waves of excruciating torment coursing through my body. As I strained against the relentless pain, a whimper escaped my lips, my resolve tested by the searing agony. With every ounce of strength, I fought to free myself from its merciless grip, my desperation driving me to the brink of endurance. 

I had an overwhelming determination fueled by desperation, I strained against the searing pain, my entire being consumed by the urgent need to break free from its cruel grasp. Each tug only intensified the agony, the bone's relentless intrusion into my flesh widening the already gaping wound in my hand. Despite the excruciating sensation, there was an eerie numbness that enveloped me, dulling the edges of my hands and fingers. With a final, desperate pull, the bone relented, slipping out from my hand and clattering back to the ground. The sudden release sent me stumbling backwards, colliding with Aliza's solid presence as I struggled to regain my balance amidst the swirling chaos of pain and relief.

Clutching my injured hand tightly, I grimaced as the relentless burning sensation persisted, each heartbeat pulsating through the raw wound. The hole in my palm had expanded, revealing a macabre glimpse of the inner workings of my hand, the crimson hue of flesh contrasting sharply against the white bone. My trembling arm betrayed the overwhelming shock coursing through my body, every muscle quivering with the intensity of the pain. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the icy chill of the underground air as I desperately sought relief. With trembling hands, I scooped handfuls of snow, the cold numbing sensation offering a brief respite as I cradled my injured hand, willing the throbbing ache to subside.
