Octavia's Pov
No one came.
The silence was eery.
Maybe they had looked.
Maybe I didn't want to be found.
But the problem was I did.
The Nogitsune didn't.
And I was losing the checkerboard game,
momentarily.
If I did lose.
I would be fully gone, have no control.
That's how it worked.
We played until someone won.
Until I lost, is all I could think,
as I drifted off
into a restless sleep.

I can't keep this up.
It pains me too much.
But I have to find her.
My brain won't let go off the fact,
she probably dead.
Death would be an awfully big adventure.
Why had I ever said that to her.
For all I know she could have died because
of me.
Lesson One;
Death it's not an awfully big adventure, your life no longer exists. You either live on a place like earth, or a place where torture and more
tunnels of death await, but you can't die. Hold on for as long as you can. Please live, Octavia.
Octavia's Pov
I can't do this any longer,
I need to find Pan.
I need someone.
To help me.
The Nogitsune forbid it.
But maybe I wouldn't lose this game.
Life is a game, the creature says.
"Maybe, if so, I can't lose any more," I whisper.
But it's gone, faster than light.
And I'm left alone in the dark gloomy room
again.
Before I push open the wide wooden door.
And exiting the hidden cave.
I'm going to wish I never left.
I think as I exit into the broad daylight.
