Her Hidden Powers

Yellow Door2

I continued walking through the desert until I came to what looked like a canyon 

Sky; should we continue through it feels off

voice; there's something wrong here 

Sky; what do you mean 

voice; can't you feel it 

I started walking keeping my guard up constantly looking around but I didn't see anything

voice; something or someone is watching us 

as I was about to pass through the opening of the canyon a huge creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human jumped in front of me it stared down at me with questioning and judgment, I think it's going to eat me, I stopped in my tracks and just stared up at it as it spoke, you aren't far but are not close you are near but still very far, you have come to pass yet cannot pass without your answers if you are right you may go if you are wrong your path ends here...

Wait what did that thing just say that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, what even is that thing, the creature continued staring at me judging me before it spoke again, the answer to three is all you will need then you may pass but be aware the path from this point is hard and not nice.

Sky; WHAT 

voice; it's a sphynx haven't you paid attention to anything mom has tried to teach us all these years

Sky; well no, yes well a little 

voice; guh 

sphynx; I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have nobody, but I come alive with the wind. What am I? 

ohm did this thing ask me a riddle oh my god I'm never getting out of here I suck at riddles what's a riddle have to do with my so-called powers, I stood there thinking for a minute then decided oh well I'm just going to calm down and answer, I slowed my breathing and closed my eyes to calm down then a voice popped into my head it wasn't mine or that voice that had been with me it sounded like the creature, echo

Sky; umm an echo 

it stared at me like it was judging me again before talking again 

Sphynx: What disappears as soon as you say its name? 

 Again I relax close my eyes and breath, and again that voice pops into my head, Silence

Sky; is it Silence

Sphynx; what is two that will soon be one 

voice; Sky its talking about us 

Sky what that makes no sense we already are one aren't we, we aren't exactly two separate entities 

Voice; no we are one entity but we are of two separate conscious which is why right this moment we can speak as we do

Sky; so not so much us as our conscious state 

Sky; my conscious state 

Sphynx; you have passed my test be aware that the path is hard from here on out 

and then it was gone, I continued down the path as rocks started to come down on top of me I threw my arms up out of reflex and the rocks were all thrown away from me, man I actually think they are trying to kill me, my legs were heavy I was hungry thirst and tired, I've already been here two hole days wonder how my moms going to explain my sleeping two days straight, anyway I better find those doors, I saw what looked like a big scraggly dog run across the desert in front of me and another running after it I saw a tortoise slowly making its way and what looked like a mix of a rabbit and a mouse that's a strange looking mouse I've never seen a mouse with such big ears, and I kept walking I heard growling and ran into what looked to be a cave in the side of a hill when I ran in it was strange there was a large mountain lion next to a large snake I wanna say it was a cobra but it was white a stone between them and a large lion in front of them on what looked to be a low rock cliff, they looked to be in a heated discussion, I walked up and for some reason asked who they were and where I was the lion and snake that I was now standing between started discussing amongst themselves and the lion in front of me let out a loud growl as it lunged at me the snake uncoiled and grabbed the lion in mid air causing the lion to fall then turned to me and told me I needed to leave now, without a word I backed up to the entrance turned around and ran, wait did I just understand those animals this is getting so weird, next thing I know the sand is moving in a formation that almost resembles a snake just as a huge snake pops its head out of the sand and starts coming after me I ran as fast as I could what is it with this place and snakes I hate snakes, it was just about to strike and my body started feeling Tingley again the next thing I knew I was no longer where I just was , I was now standing amongst what looked to be a forest of Joshua trees, how did I get here well at least I'm away from the snake , I started walking when I ran right into a pack of coyotes

Coyotes; well, well, well, what do we have here and who might you be 

Coyotes; you think she's a treat 

Coyotes; must be 

Sky; uh no I'm just trying to find some doors so I can get out of here  

Coyotes; oh she can talk to us

Coyotes; but does she truly understand 

Coyotes; let's find out 

Coyotes; so little girl shall we help you or shall we eat you 

Coyotes; we will give you a ten-second headstart I like to work up an appetite 

Coyotes; I would run now little human

I turned around and ran as fast as I could 

Coyotes; I guess she could understand 10, 9,8,7,6,5,

The next thing I knew I was being chased again running again I'm not sure how much longer I can run, they ended up catching up to me and tackling me one had my leg one had my arm the other was on top of me about to lunge at my throat when again my body felt Tingley only this time instead of ending up somewhere else a bluish red light surrounded us and the coyotes screamed out in pain when the light disappeared the coyotes were gone.

What am I supposed to do the sun is starting to go down and I still haven't found the doors and how am I supposed to pick the right door when I do find them, I suddenly heard my mothers voice, I have faith in you I know You'll be okay, why does she have so much faith in me I've never been anywhere or done anything on my own now I'm expected to survive a forest, the desert and who knows what else on my own without any help whatsoever, I was tired and annoyed and my aggravation was just getting worse when I realized that the wind had picked up I started thinking about my mom she used to say crap like, oh the wind is my friend it brings me messages and guides me when I need it it is always there to help me and comfort me, was that maybe my mom being serious and not just messing around.

I closed my eyes and focused on the wind around me, I could hear it getting stronger and louder as I sat there when I opened my eyes I was in a wind tunnel the wind was so strong I had to go with it I followed the wind or I should say I was pushed by the wind for what felt like an hour before the wind just died down, when I looked around I saw them I saw the doors in the distance there were three of them like the mom looking lady said but they weren't next to each other each one was a good mile apart.

Sky; great found them now which door am I supposed to choose, should I do inne minne 

voice; goh you're hopeless 

Sky; what if I pick the wrong door the gods only know what's waiting for me 

voice; just go with your gut 

I sat there staring at the doors hoping one would call to me or something I finally decided I better pick one since the sun is almost down I went to the middle one but as I reached for the handle I got this overwhelming feeling of fear so I stopped and decided on the door to the left I walked the distance and opened the door again everything around me was gone and again I was standing in the middle of a hallway this time only one door stood waiting for me to go through it.
