Dark Truth

10

Tremor and I started making a plan about how we can rescue my Fran. We sat on the table to discuss. While discussing we acknowledge that he can’t teleport himself where ever he wants anymore so we need to go through the door from the brick molded walls room. He told me that there is a big path ahead of us and that we need to prepare. I asked him what should I bring with me and he only said that I need to bring my courage and hope. Nothing physical works there.  So we set up a time when should we leave. I had some time to think about everything. I never knew that this day will come, that there is hope for my Fran to come back. Is it even possible? If I told my psychiatrists about this he would instantly put me in the asylum. But, he is dead now and that is my fault. I never thought that I would kill anyone in my pitiful life. If I can save Fran, maybe I can save those poor souls that I killed. Maybe I can save those people who died during the hurricane “Selena” at Malibu beach. I wonder… Maybe I should ask Tremor about it. I ran towards him since we were doing our things alone, preparing, and stuff. When I asked him about that he said that he already had devoured their souls for dinner and that he can’t change that. Some things are not meant to be saved. He also made it clear that my Fran did not suppose to die when we crashed. She should have lived but Fero insisted because of her beauty. He needed her. Because she was cursed with beauty she was supposed to be Devil’s bride? Tremor smiled at my thoughts, he knew exactly what I was thinking. Then, he added again that they are not devils and that devils don’t even exist.

-“Call it however you want, they are still evil.” – I said.

-“That means, you think I am evil too.” –Tremor added.

I guess he is right. I can’t judge a book by its cover. Is it even possible that they can change as Tremor did?

So after a while, we decided that it is time to go. We needed a portal to go back to the room of brick molded walls. Tremor told me that I should only write the word in mid-air and the portal will appear. I wrote: “Door.” And the wooden door appeared in front of us right in the middle of my kitchen. It was floating above the floor. It had some negative energy that we could both feel. We looked at each other and nodded. It is time to go. We entered the door.

Next thing you know we were in the darkroom with brick molded walls. The room where we first have met and where he devoured the soul of a homeless man who was my friend. I will never forgive him for that. But, yet again, it was my fault for his death. Tremor guided me to the door where we need to go. It was pitch dark and I couldn’t see it very well. He was guiding me with his voice. Finally, we came to the door and I wanted to open it. What? It was locked.

-“How can I open it?” – I asked.

-“You can’t. It was always locked. Only goodwill and hope can open it. Fran used to open it all the time when she came to visit me.” –Tremor said.

Hope and goodwill? I started thinking hard about my Fran. Maybe she will guide me. I remember her very well. It was like yesterday when we were enjoying ourselves in nature on a picnic. Oh, look at her. She is so beautiful running in the tall grass. Sun's light is shining through her and her hair danced with the wind. She was giggling. Her dress was spinning around her while she moved her legs like a ballerina. I was sitting on the rug and just watched her. Those were the days. She was my everything in life. I need to bring her back. With those thoughts, I wanted to open the door. It was still locked. It is not enough. What should I think about? What was she thinking about? I was angry now. It didn’t help. I screamed: “OPEN OPEN OPEN!” and started hitting the door with arms and legs. Nothing is happening. I lost my will at the begging of an adventure. How will I overcome something more brutal and serious? Am I that weak? Then it hits me… I have Feros’ power. I should be able to open this door easily. I closed my eyes and looked deep in my soul. I concentrated a lot and then I slowly opened my eyes and said: “Open!”. Something clicked in the door.  It opens.

-“Yes. I did it. I did it Tremor.” –I was so happy.

Tremor laughed with me. He was glad too. We are one step closer to save Fran.

-“Before we enter the door Evan, I must warn you. Thought that door, there is a hell that we only create. What thoughts do you have that will come true. You see, Fran always thought of a clean house with big hallways in it and that is what her hell looked like. With Fero in it. So be careful what you expect and what you think about.” –Tremor warned me.

I nodded. I know what I need to be focused on and what I need to think about. I am ready to enter the door. We entered together.

When we went trough we appeared in someplace I could never imagine it. We were on a mountain and beyond us, there was lava, like a river Stix. Mountain is falling apart and there are earthquakes I could feel. Rocks were falling everywhere. I did not think of this. I looked at Tremor and he looked at me with a smile on his face and said: “Ups.”

This was his thinking. What the hell?  Why would he do that?

-“Are you trying to sabotage me? Sabotage us?” –I asked with anger in my voice.

-“It wasn’t my fault. I always have a nightmare when I sleep.” –he said.

-“Nightmares? You are the nightmares. Oh, I must quote you know before I kick you. “Hi, I am Tremor I am your worst nightmare.” Nightmare ha? –I was so angry.

How can we overcome this? How can we even go down the mountain? We held together and we started going down. I was so scared of heights and I wanted to pass out two times. He was still laughing.

-“Stop laughing. This is not a joke. We can die.” –I said.

-“Oh come on. This is just a little mountain with lava under it. Nothing bad will happen.” –he said.

And, when he said that, everything started going wrong. Earthquakes were stronger than before and everything started falling apart. It was like a bomb exploded at the top of the mountain and we were pushed so hard that we both fell on our knees. I covered my head because I thought the rocks will hit me. We are doomed. There is no way we can overcome this. This really is a nightmare.

-“What else is in this nightmare?” – I asked.

-“Do you really want to know that?” –he replied.

The moment I asked him and said that above us appeared a mountain-lion with flames at the tip of his tail. Flame lion? We must be going through Dantes’ hell. It started chasing us. We started running without our heads, forward and forward.

-“What is the meaning of this?” –I asked Tremor.

He was quiet. He was just running with me. We don’t know where we are running and what to expect next. I thought of the worst. Even though I knew that I need to think only about the positive stuff, I was only human. I always expect the worst. I remember when I was in school, even though I studied hard I always expected that I will not know some questions on the test. And I was always wrong but you knew that feeling when you can’t help it. I guess I was a pessimist. In this situation, the only thing that we could do is run and try to find a hideout to escape this menace.

-“How can we exit this nightmare?” –I asked Tremor.

He was exhausted. The human that is born from him doesn’t have much energy. He is not used to being a human.

-“Hey superior!? –I started. –“I would really need some help right now.

He looked at me and remembered the thing he was. He could control his nightmares and he is the guardian of this place. He stopped.

-“No no no, don’t stop now.” –I yelled.

I tried to get to him but he was about to face the mountain-lion. He stood like a statue and waited for mountain-lion to jump on him.

Mountain-lion cathed up… He is in front of Tremor. I hide behind one rock. I thought that he was insane. I will lose my so-called friend since we experienced so much together. Can I call him a friend? His roots already got to my heart. Yes, he is my friend even though he is superior. Or at least, used to be.

Even though he is not superior anymore, Tremor knew that his conversion to human is not finished yet. He still got some guardian stuff left in him. He looked directly at the mountain-lions eyes and started sparing with him. His flames burned Tremor’s hands and hips. The grey color of his body is starting to get burned and red. I did not know what should I or can I do. There was nothing. If I join their sparring I will get eaten fast.  I don’t know how to defend myself physically, I can only do that mentally.

The mountain-lion tackled Tremor and he fell on the ground. While he was lying face down he saw a rock near him. He managed somehow to take it and when the mountain-lion attacked again, Tremor strikes it with the rock. The mountain-lion fell, bleeding. The blood started to put out his fire.

-“Even though I am not superior anymore, I am still Tremor, the guardian of nightmares.” –he said.

I laughed. What a sentence. He always wanted to make him special. He did it. He defeated the mountain-lion. I praised him. When I did that, Tremor’s thoughts went completely different, and the whole area changed. River Stix as I called lava that was beneath us became a simple sparkly river. Rocks became trees and mountain was no more. The mountain-lion disappeared.  We had to rest a bit. We don’t have air from exhaustion. We hugged. I am so glad that he did this. That he saved us.

-“Come on, rest a bit.” –he told me. –“There is still a big path ahead of us. We need to come to the castle as soon as possible where Fero and Fran are.

We took some water from the river and drank it. I never had that much delicious water in my life. I wanted to go into it and swim and enjoy this beautiful area that still exists. We did not have time. After we have rested we started going where our heart leads us. I looked at Tremor and he was a bit sad.

-“What is the matter?” – I asked him nicely.

-“I just miss being superior.” – he said. –“All I ever knew is how to guard that door and don’t let any mortal soul come through it. And look at me now. Trying to save mortals, love. Helping mortal.”

-“I guess you want us to live together. Superior and humans. Maybe we could have that utopian life.” –I said.

Tremor laughed. He looked at me and showed me his teeth that were not sharp anymore. He is starting to look more like a human.

-“You know that Fero would never agree to that. And not to mention Tabul. I never have met him but I know that he is one fierce superior. After all, we all became from him. He is our creator.” –Tremor said but I felt like he really liked my idea of us all living together in one world.

What would happen to our world if superiors were about to live in it? I could only imagine two scenarios. One where we would be slaves and be forced to worship them. And second, where everything would be nice and happy, they would help us all live a great and fulfilled life. That would be so nice. Imagine, not working, and only enjoying life to the fullest. That is paradise.

We were going for some time trough forest that was filled with the same beauty as in the world of Kanas. I wonder if she healed her wings.

-“I never asked you how Fero created you and your brothers?” – I asked Tremor.

Tremor stopped for a moment. He looked at me and there was no smile at his face. He got so serious. Instead of attacking me with why I have asked that question he nodded and agreed to tell me how it all started.

-“You see. Fero was in love once. He had a wife whos beauty was beyond this world and your world. From that love we came: Tremor, Habit, and Lover. A lover is the only one who looks like her. He has that feminine beauty and he always was delusional for love. He always said that everything we do must come out of love towards others. Don’t think that he is good. He is the worst of us all. Everything you human do if he doesn’t see that you are doing it with the love he interferes with and makes you a cripple for life. The biggest thing he hates is the war you humans make. From those wars, he always takes a hundred, or thousand souls with him to punish. War is made of hatred and money. Oh, that money of yours. That is the worst thing you humans had created. –he said with shaking his head with disapproval. –“But, let me get back to my story. You asked about my Mother. Well… That is where Habit interferes.

-“Why Habit?” – I asked.

-“ You see, Habit has been born with the power to bring people to the suffering of their habits. That is why you have so many people in your world smoking or doing drugs. We always named him bad Habits.  One day he tried to surpass himself and gave a bad habit to our mother. She started eating ashes. Don’t know how he came up with that idea but eventually, she was obsessed and our Lord Fero needs to bring an end to that. So he wrote her a new destiny and banished her to your world. Now she is only one fat lady living in a little apartment eating ashes of her deceased husband.” –Tremor said.

-“Oh, now I feel bad for asking. I am sorry.” – I said.

-“That is why Fero wants to get remarried. He wants to make more creation to stop Habit. Habit doesn’t live with them anymore. And Lover is still in delusion. “ – he continued.

-“Why does he want to stop him?” – I asked. –“ Can’t he stop him by himself?”

-“He can but he won’t. Don’t know what is his hidden reason but he wants us, his children, to stop Habit.”

-“Oh I see.” –that is where we stopped the whole conversion.

While walking through the forest we came across the bridge that was going above the river from which I drank before. So this is where the river was leading. Fish from the river were jumping and playing with each other. They feel so safe in this world. I think that in my world, the world of humans those fish would be toxic because humans filled their river with toxic waste. Everything is going to be destroyed in my world one day. No one cares for nature anymore and they held animals like prisoners, on the leash. Travis is proof of that. He got a beagle and he is torturing him. I wonder if the beagle is still alive.

-“But you gave him that beagle. Remember?” –Tremor said that from nowhere.

-“How can you know what am I thinking?” –I asked. –“How you know that I was thinking about Travis and his beagle?

-“Simple, I know when you are worried. I can read your body language. You always put your hand on your cheek and walk that way. So, the only thing that you can be thinking is about the things that you have done. We went through the death of your psychiatrists so I assumed you were thinking about Travis and that little beagle who ran from his pack. “ –he said with a little smile.

I guess he is right. I always think about the things that went off. Did I do well? Will I be punished for the bad things that I have done? But, in one way, that is was not my doing. I did not ask for this power. It is all Feros' fault. Fero gave me his power so I can do his job, and not waste time on writing future for newborns, but he still is the most powerful superior of them all.

-“Oh you look so worried. Now you must be thinking about Fero. But, let me tell you something. Feros’ power is no match for Tabul, so I heard.” –said Tremor.

-“What is Tables’ power?” – I was only logical that I would ask that.

-“I heard that he has the power to absorb everything. That is where his name comes. From “Tabula rasa” which means empty paper. No one has ever seen his doing and no one except Fero, Fana, and Kana saw him. – Tremor replied. –“I heard that he once absorbed every thought of everyone and left them without any energy. Because of that, he was forced to leave their sight and since then no one has ever seen him.

-“I see. Well, I hope we don’t see his power. I am scared even going against Fero, not to mention Tabul.” –I said with caution.

We were near the bridge and enjoying the view for a little bit. We needed to recharge since we were running during that flame mountain-lion wreck. I can't help myself admiring nature. What is this world we are in? Is it Kanas’ world again?

After a while, we decided that it is time to go. We stepped on the rocky bridge when suddenly one voice stopped us saying:

-“Tell us the password and you will pass this bridge.”

We stopped. Nature around us started to get noisy. Water started to make big waves that were hitting the rocky bridge.

-“Who is there?” – Tremor asked.

Suddenly, two goblins appeared in front of us. They were hiding underneath the bridge. They heard all of our conversations.

-“We know that you two are royalty, and you will not pass this bridge. We have ordered from above.” –they said.

-“Whose orders?” – I asked with a grumpy voice. I can’t believe that we are up against two goblins. Like I needed them right now.

-“As we will tell you.” –they replied. –“Prove to us that you are worthy and tell us the password.”

We did not know the password. What they wanted to hear from us is the thing they only knew about it. They made it up. Something that they can pressure us on.

I started observing them. They were small, like one foot tall, and were a little obese. Their stomach almost touched their feet. I knew that they weren’t agile. Their big eyes were popping from their huge bald head. They kind of looked like my psychiatrist. It is like the time he wanted me to make him rich and famous. They remind me of him.

-“Move you grumpy little beasts. We need to pass to save someone precious to us.” –said Tremor. –“Move, or you will see what we can do…” –he threatened them.

-“Like we are scared of you.” –they replied. –“After we heard guardian has left us, we decided to go to Fero to make us stronger, so no one could enter this area…”

Fero has upgraded these horrible creatures. He really had given up on Tremor. I looked at Tremor and he was shocked to hear this. Now, he can’t be sure if they are powerful enough to take him out. I need to do something about this situation. Therefore, if I don’t, I might not be able to save Fran and live happily ever after.
