Infinite Dimensions -The Discovery

CHAPTER 10: In need of answers

I was held by two soldiers; each by my side and maybe, ten more following me at the back. I was blindfolded and led to the house next door.

I’ve seen this before… They’re leading me to General Gammon’s house.

…the gravel before the grand gate, the creak of the doors and the hard and smooth wooden floor. I know the path we’re leading into… I have barged here before…

Was it a dream??

Then Professor Quesada, Patricia and the happy events with my friends… have I just imagined that??

I was slammed unto a chair and my blindfold was removed. I was in General Gammon’s study… the heart of his home where I tortured him… in my dream perhaps… I don’t know.

“Sylvia Philipps” General Gammon boomed in front of me. He was tall and proper; his hair shining gray and his posture straight and disciplined. He was wearing a suit and tie. “I have had the most disturbing dream”

“General… I-I have dreamt of it too… I… barged in here and…” I kept trailing off feeling weak and tired. I just can’t say I tortured him in my dreams! He’s the GREAT General Gammon.

“Yes. I know. And after the years of brutal training in the army and the undying horrors that I have witnessed… so far the most disturbing is what you have done to me… in our dreams… maybe.” he sat down facing me. “I have a feeling if I don’t give you answers soon, you will probably do that to me for real. Just dreaming of it scared the… crap out of me. I can’t even imagine being tortured like that” He poured scotch unto two glasses and offered one to me. I denied.

“Very well then.” He sat straight and cleared his throat. “The information that I will share is confidential. I might lose my job just by telling it to someone. I know you deserve the answers. The horrors you have seen are immensely horrifying and I think I owe you some enlightenment” he wiped beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. It made me remember the blood flowing from his head in my dream. “The answers I gave you… well whilst you tortured me in my own home… are true. But there are things you must have a right to know as well”

He explained that ever since siphoning souls became known, it became a capital punishment… but soon removed because it was seen that it was too inhumane to be even done. There were only limited studies given to the honor of just knowing this phenomenon and that it has been marked to be the greatest sin anybody can make. Universal Studies were limited too because the things children might want to do like; meeting their parallel and crossing the realms of universes are actually dangerous.

Meeting parallels will result to insanity and crossing realms of universes tempt parallels to linger or stay on universes that aren’t meant to be and it will alter laws of physics and science that will soon result to internal destruction of the parallel.

.

General Gammon kept on drinking scotch as it seems to calm him down as he was spilling out Authorized Secrets.

The most crucial information was that siphoning your own parallel’s soul will make you more powerful, more invincible and destructive as to becoming one…with yourself.

Since there are cobwebs of parallel universes, the more parallels you siphon… makes you more powerful; physically and mentally as you travel along universes. Not only can you be a massive soul of destruction but also, more likely, to be a god as to bend any rule of physics or science.

One can turn back time, or probably annihilate your world’s enemies, or grant freedom and peace by your power… or as a crazy and obsessed bastard…
