SELENE EIN 👁 🌙

PORTAL

"it reads 'lass uns in Dein zuhause which means woooaah-- her whole world started to swivel pulling her into pitch darkness.

She felt like she was inside a washing machine , she screwed her eyes to catch a glimpse of anything at all but it was total darkness. What was going on? Did she fall asleep? Where are the others?

A tiny speck of light was shining at the end like a star. The whirling continued, as the light came closer she noticed that it was an image, it was an image of a couple smiling at each other fondly,as she moved forwards the images shifted. Was she inside a camera strip?

The couples were replaced by an image of the same couple holding a newborn then the whirl became faster as if the parts beyond that were skipped making it hard for her to focus on the images clearly. After a few seconds the whirling became normal again,now it was the image of a woman holding a baby. The baby giggled at the woman. The women looked like Selene Olea. If it was Selene, does that mean the baby is herself? next, the image was of a toddler with Selene who was excited to see her child taking the first steps.then the image was replaced by Selene hugging the baby and crying mumbling 'i love you'. She felt her eyes fill up.

Thud she hit onto something hard.

'ouch,' Ein rubbed her head. She looked around she was in a white circular room. Cold winds hit her, she hugged herself for warmth.she rubbed her eyes and pinched herself to make sure she was awake.

"Hello?" she shouted. her words echoed through the room.

She looked around appalled. Was she in Antarctica? She was in Azes room minutes before talking about the German sentence and the moon image . That's when it struck her, that sentence might be the opening to the portal. The frostiness was piercing in her skin making her shiver vigorously.

"where are the others? I think they couldn't get in " she told to herself.

Her arms were covered with goosebumps. Should she walk ahead? There is no way she could go back now. She examined the surroundings, It was a closed room made of white snow like an igloo. Three ice statues were placed atound the room with wings from their helmets and swords in their hands,to her disappointment neither a path nor a door leading out from it. Was she supposed to die here? Just try using the sentence once again, what if something opened her mind murmured.

She kept her hand on the wall and repeated 'oh Enceladus, lass uns in Dein zuhause'

There was a rumbling sound and the snow walls broke into two and moved sidewards, revealing a tunnel.

The tunnel was pitch dark, Ein peeped inside the tunnel a glow of light shined from the end, indicating the opening. Her mind was contradicting her not to enter it alone. Will the others follow her or is it her fate to do this alone?

Thug something hard hit on the ground accompanied by cries of pain. She turned towards the disturbance. Aze, Zem, and Ol were lying on the floor on top of each other.
Ein burst out laughing, which made them laugh too. Zem got up and hugged Ein

"I was so scared that something would have happened to you"

"No everything was fine except that it is too cold " she let out. Others hugged themselves being aware of the coldness.

"Did you guys see random images when you were whirling?" Ein asked

Their faces changed into different expressions.

All three of them let out a no hurriedly ,like they were hiding what they saw from each other,so that must mean the tunnel was revealing the deepest secrets. Ein didn't further question. Aze looked at the tunnel.

"It was just a snow walled room before,i just enchanted the previous phrase and this tunnel opened up" Ein explained.

"This must be it right,the way to the portal?" Ol questioned.
"Should we start with the journey?" He continued

"Thats the only way we have, I dont have any idea how to go back , we can only go ahead" Zem proclaimed.

They all nodded in approval.

Cautiously they made way towards the tunnel, luckily they had their phones with them,they switched on their flashlight and began moving forwards,it was just a empty tunnel. They strode closer to where the gleam of light was showing.

The tunnel opened up ,blaring light hit their face making them shut their eyes reflexively. They stepped outside the tunnel, as soon as their foot hit the floor their phones flew off from their hands ,they looked at eachother stunned

"This feels like jumanji movie" murmured Ol
It was too bright that they could barely makeout where they were,the darkness of the tunnel took time to fade off.

"that must mean we can't use our phones right?"Zem questioned

As if materialised from thin air a women in white dresss was seen in sight. She looked a lot like daturas,but she had a scary look to her.

"You must be in search of the guardian" she questioned in a chilly voice raising goosebumps on their skin.

They nodded. Abruptly she began cackling

"You are just fawns,how could you even dream of getting near the guardian" she let out evil.

"We were instructed by the previous selene to find the guardian" Ein said hoping to impress the lady.

There was no expression change in her
"Olea was an ambitious lady,yet look where it took her" she said her gaze transfixed on Ein.

"If I am not wrong you must be the fawn of Olea" she polled

Ein nodded her head looking down, because the ladies eyes were piercing into her soul.

"Interesting" she mumured with a smirk,

"are you sure you can ace the mission?" she questioned.

they looked at each other for assurance and nodded .

"then death awaits you" she hissed with a cruel smirk, moved way from the entrance making way for them.

thats when she caught sight of Aze .
She examined him for long , for the first time her expression changed, something like realisation mixed with fear lit up her eyes which she covered up fast.

"destiny" she mumbled as she pushed them into the room.
