Hell Notes
Forbidden Realm II27/1/2019 Once again I woke up floating in the same space. Swimming in the void, in the emptiness. But it's not empty, it's full of stuff. The skies, above and below, dotted with stars, with realms. I'm alone, so I just go to explore, only for peek in to one and another. One is green, lush with growth and so peaceful. Another is covered in mountain ranges and, even if I can't see very clearly without entering it, I'm pretty sure I see dragons flying over and around those mountain peeks. There is life going on in all of those. But there is one a little further that's bothering me somehow, I feel drawn to it, something is calling me there. I must go investigate.
I approach it slowly and before my eyes a dire picture emerge. The realm is under attack and the defenders are vastly outgunned and outnumbered, they are barely holding. The attackers have giants and all manner of other vile tools of war and destruction. There seem to be no hope for the home team. That just seem not right at all. I feel I have no choice, I have to step in. I entered straight in to the front lines, with my blades and my dogs of war. I got some of the retreating troops back in line and got them hold that line. While we went on assault, we went after those giants. Grinding them down, one by one, piece by piece, until every single one of those monsters were laying in dirt. With the biggest threats eliminated, defending forced somehow miraculously managed to repel the invaders, eventually, just barely. But there were no celebrations, no screams of joy. Death and destruction was near absolute - all I could see was just ruins. I left that place feeling sadness, with a sense of loss. What is the point of fighting if you are lost no matter the outcome of your fight?.. It all feel so wasteful, so empty, devoid of purpose. I just felt I need a time off. A moment of rest to get my self back in to more positive vibe. I got out of that "sea of realms" to the shore, just to find my sis already sitting there, waiting for me. "Sneaking up on me again?" "I thought you might need a shoulder to rest on." "Thanks. All better already. Since you are here anyway, do you know anything about that forbidden realm, hidden in the very depths?" "No, I never went that far. Maybe you shouldn't either?" "I have no desire to ever go back there. But I have a feeling I might have to, someday. But not today, or any time soon. On more positive note, would you like to go explore some places, peaceful ones?" She just smiled in agreement and jumped on her feet ready to dive in to it with me. And so our day ended with some sightseeing, of only peaceful sights.

Forbidden Realm26/1/2019 I woke up in a little strange place, or perhaps more precisely - strange state. Suspended, floating in an ocean of nothing and something at the same time. There was no up or down, no ground nor sky, only the space. And something else - tiny specks of light, like stars, scattered around me. My first instinct was to try and move around in a physical sense - moving my body part, but it was no use. I looked as helpless and a fly fallen in a bowl of water. But soon I realised, or perhaps remembered other ways to get around in places, states as this. I only have to use my mind, my awareness, my focus, to change my "point of perception" and thus changing my location. It's all relative, all matter of perception.
I got interested in those "stars" around me, so I focused on one of those, and as I did, I began moving closer to it. But as I approached one of those "stars", it began to grow in my perception, from a small speck to a planet, a whole world. Those were not stars, those were world, entire realms scattered around. I moved from one to another. Every single one was a realm. I realised I could enter any of them, if I'd like, to explore deeper, closer. But as I was about to go in to one, Jonny showed up. "You need to go check this place." He's giving me some coordinates, or maybe it was more like distance and relative direction to everything else. But he ran off before I could even ask anything more. I just know where to go, and that this place quite far, hidden deep in the void. Far from all other specks of light. I got curious my self what could possibly be hidden there, far from any eyes. So I locked on it, spread my wings and at full speed soared through to void. Zipping passed many realms until there was nothing, only a vast ocean of dark and empty space. There was no more light, only faint sense of direction, a feeling of one. A little while after, I began seeing a tiny faint speck of light far in the distance. That was a relief, because I was beginning to doubt my sense of direction and maybe I got lost. But now that destination was in sight it should be smooth sailing. As I was getting closer I noticed some other object in my path. I slowed down a bit to get better look at it, and that thing began moving. It was moving towards me. A sentry? Looks more like machine, but I sense something alive inside. At this point I have no idea if it's friendly or hostile, if he/it even see me or maybe that thing is just flying somewhere else. But just in case, I start taking wide circle around it, and lo and behold, he's matching my every move. Well at least it's clear now, I was spotted and he is trying to catch up with me and it seems he is heavily armed, although from so far away it's hard to tell for sure. On the other hand, not sure if I want to find out. Since I noticed he is a lot slower than me, there is no reason to get in to fight with whatever can be outrun. On that thought, I realigned my self with my destination again and left that sentry in the dusts. As I came closer to the place, that speck of light start to grow and grow and now that realm was almost filling my entire field of view. I didn't stop, I just went straight in to it and landed in front of bridge leading to large gates. The whole place is like a fortress, surrounded by walls. Huge walls, seemingly reaching the sky. And these gates ahead of me seem like the only entrance and something prevents my from just flying over those walls. But that's not a big deal, I'll just walk over there. There was single guard by the gates. Looks like some kind of sleeping golem. A machine from the outside, but something alive underneath all that layer of machinery. I wonder if I can talk to him. I only took one step and he woke up. "Hello, I come in peace.." I waved my hand in the air. But that guard responded with all the fire power he had, without warning or a single word. Projectiles were zipping all around me. So much for diplomacy... I opened fire too and he was down in a moment. But I didn't get a moment to contemplate the situation, should I try to investigate anything or should I leave. The moment that guard's body hit the grown, gates opened and more of them appeared. Two, three, five, ten and then another ten or twenty. And all of them rushing at me their guns blazing. "What the hells is wrong with these people? Can't we all chill a little and have a chat?" All of it was very confusing, since I didn't show any aggression, except the self defence part, but now there seem to be no other option on the table, only to fight. So we did battle there for while, but no matter how many of them I take down, more kept coming, and coming and coming. Until I got my self surrounded, with no escape, and running out fire power. Out numbered and outgunned. "Well shit, this expedition going to leave a scar." I began saying my prayers to ease my passing. But almost at the very last moment I heard a cracking noise above me. Seemed as if the sky is opened and three beams of light struck the ground, right in front of me and my crew landed. "Your asses just had to wait to the very last moment, didn't you?" "We didn't know it could get this messy. Take these." They start loading me with new weapons and armour. After refitting me all three just took shelter behind me and I was back in butchering business, but now I have better range, and stronger hits. They were dropping fast until not a single one of them was left standing. That was our window to get out, because I've seen enough for one day. We just packed up and left that hostile place, before more of them would show up, more than I could handle even with all the upgrades. |
