When we arrived at the prison the woman called Haku was lying unconscious on top of a magic circle, even her closed eyes showed signs of violent movement as her body appeared completely still.
"Are you sure you won't invade my mind?" (I)
"No, even if they try, I can get you out of there faster than it takes them to get deep into your mind." (Caitlyn)
"But how am I going to find this echo of will?" (I)
"You won't find him, it'll be the opposite, how you going in first will draw attention to yourself while I wait to be forgotten to act." (Caitlyn)
Sigh
"Alright, let's get this started." (I)
"< Nightmare World: Mind Invasion >" (Caitlyn)
Suddenly a magic circle appears in my sister's hands flying to my forehead and I feel my consciousness sinking into darkness a moment before I open my eyes again.
"So that's her mind?" (I)
When I opened my eyes I was clearly in a high-tech laboratory, all the walls were made of metal, there were high-tech items similar to those I found in Astrid's bases that I have no idea how to use, and there were several things that I couldn't understand, but it was still possible to see another person in this room, it was a woman with short brown hair.
The woman seemed to be doing mathematical calculations and chemical formulas or it could be magic as far as I know since she didn't understand anything that was written.
The woman was nervous and acted with unsettling despair, I tried to get closer but I didn't see her face or maybe I should say that she didn't have a face when I realized that I paid more attention to the surroundings noticing some details, the first one spoke of sound, it didn't exist no sound around but a constant hum coming from all directions.
I tried to pay as much attention to the Buzz as I realized it was a voice repeating the same thing, but for some reason, I couldn't make out what it was.
"Something is strange, I was supposed to have already been attacked..." (me)
I looked around and there was no one else but the increasingly angry faceless woman, but I also didn't see many ways out of this place, I tried to go through the doors and they were all locked, I tried to break the doors or walls, but nothing seemed to work, were I've only been here a few minutes and I was stuck.
"This must be a memory, are you trying to isolate and trap me here?" (I)
"That means I already got your attention and now I have to get my attention." (I)
I already knew from my conversations with Caitlyn that I couldn't use spells or abilities here, but I could still use my Aura which I use to maximum effect exploding in all directions without holding back.
Crack
Crack Crack Crack
My Aura caused cracks in all the deaths, a brown light was rising from the cracks and I couldn't wait any longer, I took this opportunity to gather my Aura into one of my fists in a powerful punch against one of the doors creating even more cracks that were now everywhere before blinding brown light obstructs my view for the blink of an eye before I realize I'm somewhere else.
This new place was much stranger, there were glass cylinders containing large creatures and most of them had humanoid shapes, the same woman from before had brown hair reaching her waist, but before I looked at what else was around, I felt a chill running through my body.
"The only truth is meat!!!"
Suddenly someone was standing in front of me, it was the same woman I saw inside the prison, the appearance of the one who owns that body.
"Sega the truth... accept the truth... be the truth!!!"
She didn't say anything, but the buzzing I always heard became so loud I could understand what was being said, the world shook as bones suddenly came out of the walls as if they were being flung towards me.
I had to dodge hundreds of bones being shot through the walls, ceiling, and floor towards me without stopping.
"Those who don't accept the truth must die... those who embrace the truth will have their eyes opened!!!"
Dodging the bone spears wasn't a big problem, there were a lot of them, but they were objects I could touch, so I was able to defend myself from those I couldn't dodge, that's when the bones stop.
What happened next was the holes where the bones were sticking out became eyes, hundreds of eyes around me, each a different color.
Soon beams of energy in the same color as the eyes were shot towards me, their speed was much greater than the bone spears, I had to dodge every attack and even then I still got hit a few times.
I looked at my body realizing I wasn't seeing wounds on my body, what I saw were black marks on my skin.
I tried to dodge the attacks as I approached the woman who from the start didn't say anything and didn't move from her spot.
Suddenly it moves punching the air towards me and a part of the wall contorts changing color before forming a giant hand that comes towards me.
I was expecting a metal hand like the rest of the wall seemed to be but instead, the metal had turned to red flesh, a big giant red hand was coming towards me and I used a boost with just one of my wings forcing my body to go to the side dodging the punch.
Without waiting, I continue with the plan and use my claws to crush the head of the woman in front of me, thinking it to be the echo of the will, but that was my mistake when the whole body exploded, launching tentacles on top of me trying to hold me in place.
"(Remember what Caitlyn said about her idiot, imagination.)" (I)
I use my Fire Affinity to set my body on fire, the tentacles and dark spots on my skin disappearing like steam as my body is once again intact.
"Disappear!!!" (I)
I use my Aura and fire at the same time spreading to every corner, everything was burning, but I couldn't relax when suddenly the roof was ripped off revealing not the sky but a colossal cavern, the ceiling of the cavern as well as everything around it being made of meat, it was disturbing to say the least.
Before I could make a move the attacks of bones and energy bolts started once more, now coming from outside this room, I didn't even know what could happen and I was trying to think what I could do to get out of this danger.
That's when everything stopped, apart from me, everything else stopped in time suddenly as if frozen in place, and cracks once again spread everywhere before purple and blue light erupted from the cracks causing me to close my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again I was in a completely different place, there was nothing around but total darkness, at least that's what I thought before I saw my sister standing next to a body lying on the ground, it was the same woman.
"Was that it? Is it over??" (I)
"You did well, now go out to wait, I have to take care." (Caitlyn)
"Wait, I still..." (I)
When I realize it, my sister is in front of me and gives what I seriously thought was a weak attack, but I was hit with a powerful push throwing me away, when I lifted the body I realized I was lying on the ground next to the same woman as before.
I wait in silence watching Caitlyn still floating on top of her pillow, I needed to ask her a few things so I decided to wait until she opened her eyes to talk to her about it.
"You bought enough time, I only needed a few tens of minutes." (Caitlyn)
"What happened just now? You threw me out." (I)
"I was able to sever the connection safely for both of us, but not for her, this connection that generated this echo of the will was an important part of her mind, I needed to stabilize her mind so as not to cause permanent damage." (Caitlyn)
Sigh
"I'm glad this is all over, her mind was kind of disturbed." (I)
I can associate some of the things I saw as part of her memory, I don't know if the attempt to trap me in the memories was this woman's idea or the work of this echo of will.
What I do know is that it was weird not using my powers the way I'm used to, now it's up to us if we can get some really important information out of her.
"Were you able to see her memories?" (I)
"No, I was focused on destroying her connection to whoever it was." (Caitlyn)
"As time goes on it will be easier to get the information we want, so just wait until then." (Caitlyn)
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "So I'm going, anything can come and talk to me or ask to be called." (I)
With everything resolved, I leave there with a bad mind after all that, so I'm going to bed as soon as I get back to the mansion.
