The 2 hour wait was the most stressful thing I have ever been through. Even Dao passed me thrice in their stressed search for me. When the light was finally pouring into the premises, Dao rallied up his giants, and called out, right in front of me, saying," We will be back for you chosen one" and then led his giants around the corner. I peaked through to see if I could locate their entry and exit point, and I saw a hole, covered by a large painting, on the opposite side of the hallway. I got up and shouted, "You will never be coming back idiots!" and all the giants, including Dao, turned back to see me and grunted in disgust of themselves, probably for not catching me. I could see them holding themselves back so much because they just wanted to chase me, but that would mean certain death for them. Dao shouted back,"Well played kid. Well played." and then they all walked in the hole in the wall and went. I collapsed, due to lack of sleep, and the life force drained from me due to my use of the senses for so long. My crystal said,  "Stay strong for just a few more minutes sir. Help will be here." but I did not have the strength to even turn around. I saw the painting of Orvax clasp shut, covering the hole behind it. And my eyes then shut too.

I saw a ghostly image of dad, conspiring with Dao. This time Jaime and I were the ones who were spying on him. "The sentinel is the one power that can create balance among this universe. It is the ultimate being. Rage, greed, lust and other monsters have not only consumed Earth, but also Ka'ar now. The sentinel is the only being that can rid the dimensions of this plague. But the sentinel also  knows that when mortals feel something being taken from them, they shall fight back. And they shall fight back with new and immense power. Earth, in the early times fought back with fire. Now they will fight back with their weapons, and their sole defender, 'The Chosen One'. If only they understood..." said dad, just before looking up to an image of my mother. "Mom" I cried out but no one heard me. My physical self was crying and Jaime was also on the verge of crying. "Rest in peace..." said dad.
