Unknown Life (1) (Editing in Progress)
12

All around me it was just blue with lighter blue swirls bouncing around me it was never ending. I had been floating forwards who knows how long. The odd part was somehow I felt calm and knew nothing would hurt me as floated forward in this unknown abyss.

Soon I was spat out by the blue tunnel and landed on my knees onto some stone floor. Only light throbbing pulsed up my knees, I silently hissed from the pain. I rose myself from my bearings and looked behind me, there was a blue and some sort of swirling of multiple blues tones around like a wall hanging ocean whirl pool. Making me question a few things.

Did I just come through that?

I didn’t even remember ever stepping a foot into something like that in the first place. All I remember was falling asleep. Unless that answered question is I was in some sort of dream world.

I looked away from the oval and started to observe my surroundings in front of me. First, I saw dark grey stone slabs that soon dragged my view up to a few steps that led up to what I saw is a huge black stone throne. I looked right, there were stars and they shone bright and twinkled in the distance as if they did when you saw them on the planet earth.

Suddenly I was aware of my normal breathing that started to become quicker. I shifted my gaze to the left and almost fainted as I was staring at half-lit earth on the lower distance.

I sure hope that was some good magic wallpaper.

I took in a shaky breath slowly calming myself. There was this urge to get up and touch what I hoped are walls. But somehow felt like I was fooling myself.

I still could not understand how I was freaking out even though I felt so calm. My functioning in this dream world was confusing. Still trying to comprehend this place a mystical voice spoke.

“Welcome, don’t worry you are safe”

I shot my head up to see a woman who had light purple skin. Her hair floating around like gravity didn’t exist. Her dark almost black dress floated out like smoke. I looked at her closely and saw that he eyes shone like silver or two silver moons. She was utterly beautiful, nothing like more so mystic god like.

It made me question was this the goddess Kadea? The paintings and stained glass did not do her justice.

“Hello” I said softly.

She smiled which felt like putting me under an almost enchanted spell, “I hope you don’t mind this place, after all this is really my safe place, I could contact you.” The voice moved like light air.

I quickly shook from my daze, “Only way to reach me? Do you mean like a from a dream?”

She only nodded.

I slowly found myself rising onto my feet and somehow was planted firmly on my two feet.

“If it’s a dream would how or why does this feel so real?” I questioned, confusion now flooding me.

Kadea laughed then floated towards me now being in front of me embracing my shoulders while I slowly stared at her. Her hands felt smooth and warm it was oddly a familiar touch somehow. She leaned away looked at me against drifted away a few feet now embracing the area around us.

“Do you know what this place is?” she asked like I possibly might know.

I looked around and saw more stars and the earth. It was a feeling like I already knew what this place was but couldn’t place it.

“I feel I should know” I replied then found Kadea sitting back in her throne.

“It’s alright” she smiled, “this right now is my safe haven for us to communicate. It is fortress of my palace.”

I looked around again gazing at the stars as the room gave a nice out space and in front was stone and throne. A grand room to feel like a royal of the universe, “So your place is a tiny room?” doubting myself again.

She looked at me and laughed, “no dear this is all real, the earth is the real as you are currently sleeping on it and the stars are the one you see every night… but you know that as you doubt your own brain.” She beamed.

She stared at as I still was not convincing myself. “Go and reach out and feel nothing” she soothed.

I stared at her again, but sighed, walked towards the left and touched the wall, but I felt nothing. I even waved my hand around and still nothing was there, no gravity, yet I could stand and breathe. I brought my attention to Kadea with wide eyes yet I was calm.

“How is this even possible?” I demanded.

She did not say anything for a bit, she looked at me calmly, “My dear this is my fortress, you are in a dimension of dreams.” She was calm and that somehow soothed me.

I though stared at her, trying to study her.

“If we are in space how can I breathe?” as if my mind was refusing anything.

Another gentle smile, “you are dreaming, you don’t breathe in dreams” she said and floated towards me, “Asema I do not have much time left now” she stepped in front of me. I gave her my attention even though I was hesitant.

“Then what is the reason you brought me here?” I urged.

Somehow her eyes sadden like she didn’t want to say goodbye. “You are a rare immortal, do not take it that for granted, take in for account. Possessing powers, you still have yet to control.” She spoke holding me in another embrace. “do not take anything for granted, every power you have is to protect you, saving you in desperate times. Use them currently”

She studied me. While I started thinking how am. I suppose to use them correctly when I didn’t know how to use them in a specific way. She was not making sense. But I tried to understand her reasoning.

“Asema, listen and replace that inner power that you have, because it will be the most unique power for you to possess,” she looked deep into my eyes as if she was searching for my soul.

“What greater power? I am not sure what you are getting at.”

She sighed but then placed her right hand on my chest. “Do you feel that?”

Instantly there was a warmth in my chest, it began to spreading outward through my limbs. It somehow felt powerful, yet welcoming, though with a burning into my soul. She quickly removed her hand and the feeling along vanished.

“You felt that?”

I nodded.

“Good, that is the power, focus on that in desperate times of need.” She spoke and gave us some distance and looked to the earth. “our session is up with a moment to spare, one more thing” there now was urgency in her voice.

I stared at her urging for her to get on with her next words.

“There are forces out there that will not make sense but, in the end, it will be made clear. Just remember you have power like no other.”

I was about to reply but was thrown or sucked backwards into the blue abyss. Blue now floated my vision again but faded into darkness.
