Reality
2012 Words
"He had finally come around...!"
"Your Majesty... Can you hear us...? Raise your hand once more if you can hear us and slowly open your eyes..."
"Your Majesty... We are all so worried about you... Are you feeling alright now...?!?"
I heard many voices as I slowly regain back from my meditative state and back to reality but only before I heard a loud POP sound that came from within me.
Previously it was several BOOMS but right now it's only a resounding POP sound, soft and subtle but loud enough for me to realise that something had happened somewhere inside my body or even in my mind.
"My Goodness...! What a weird trip I had and if I were to tell any of you... It would not even finish even if I were to narrate it over 3 days and 3 nights...!"
"It was truly a once in a lifetime life experience and I could only felt it within me and what I had gone through unknowingly all through the years of my other lives that I had to lead. Hahaha."
The rest who heard me blabbering was thinking that I was indeed blabbering and spouting nonsense indeed but those who had known that I had been in a meditative state of mind, they knew that what I had mentioned earlier was all part of my trip that was used to unearth part of my subconscious mind of what I had experienced before.
This was also known as reborn or a transmigration trip, after all, innit?
From a sitting position, I was already awakened to lying down position instead and the perspiration behind my back had soaked through my tunic.
Heather was there and I grinned at her while I saw her face while I remembered the images that had been played on my subconscious mind.
Eagle was thoroughly worked up and so had not recovered from my meditative state and had laid down once I got too comfortable through my meditation process.
"Hey, guys... Don't worry. The meditation worked like a charm. I could start by telling you that I felt some kind of sounds like several booms and I felt some points on my body had opened up and lots of information gushed in and needs some time for me to digest first."
"At the meantime, I was able to find out a lot of things that had happened before I came to this part of life and what I could say was that I would need more meditation so that I could unearth more mysteries that could help to develop this town more than ever before."
"Old Kayla, could I get a drink of cold water from the dispenser on the ground floor. A helper might be able to fetch one for me. Thank you..."
I managed to sit up on my own and the sudden rush of blood to my head slowly ease down as I managed to focus and return back to reality. Other than that, I don't know where I should start in sharing the information that I had received so far from my subconscious mind.
"Here you go dear, take some sips first before you gulp down the whole cup of water. I guess its too late for you to shower so I would get some dry clothes for you and towel you dry first."
"We were worried because Eagle was ringing the bell and you can't seem to wake yourself up from your meditation and then you suddenly fall flat on your back and was muttering to yourself about the other Audemars or something."
Heather handed me a cup of ware that was passed down by Old Kayla as she had gotten a helper instead to get it for me. I wonder why I was quite attached to Old Kayla. Maybe I treated her like my mother and that's the only reason I could think of right now.
When nearly everyone had dispersed, Eagle stayed behind as well as Heather since the helpers had stayed for some overtime work to care for the twins as they were awakened by my ramblings earlier on and had gotten up from their nap.
They were curious too and wished they could learn how to talk and asked about what had happened to me and it would make a great bedtime story. Hahaha.
"What happened when you are in your meditative state, Your Majesty? Try to make it as brief as possible." Eagle was curious to find out and that's the reason be had stayed behind.
The thurible had already been burned out a long time ago and he had used up quite a lot of incense to create a conducive environment for me to fall into a meditative state almost quite immediately.
"Well... I had closed my eyes and blanked off everything as you had suggested. Next thing I knew I was in a kind of void space and entered a vortex that sent me to view certain images of me from a third person's perspective. It was as if in outside looking at myself."
"I had moved for one body to another and one thing for sure, I had learnt a lot more things if I were to regularly meditate. There are some parts where I could do such as healing and rejuvenating."
"Then I could do something like creating a fireball from my hands and tiny ones from my forefinger. On top of that, in the realms, I could see all kind of things I could do that could not be done here in the real world."
"I need to know about some gemstones as well such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds. I saw these being sockets into shields, armours and weapons and give them an added edge."
"Besides, there is a part in the realm where there's a smelter and I would be able to smelt iron pieces into steel ones, right after I had removed the excess slag from the smelter and therefore reducing the carbon content. Is that true, Old Jack?"
"The lesser the carbon, the higher grade the iron is until it became a grade called steel?"
Old Jack nodded his head and told me that it is true that the lesser the carbon and at higher temperatures I could make steel out from iron pieces.
Although he doesn't have anything to grade between iron and steel, he mentioned that the steel would not rust easily and was much sharper and sturdier than iron itself.
Eagle too nodded his head since he had his fair share of weaponry and marvelled at how durable steel weapons and armours were.
"What else do you see, dear? Any interesting happened when you are in your subconscious mind?" Heather was excited too since she had found out how interesting her husband had become right after he returned after the expedition earlier.
"Well, I could start from the latest to the earlier part of my so-called travel through different passages of time. I had seen my other Audemars and the only thing I saw was that he had blonde hair instead of Ash-grey one that I have right now."
"I knew he was married to a woman called Trish but had the same look like you, Heather. He lived in a big castle made of masonry and he was tending to some withered plants."
"He had a bucket of water in front of him and when he rubbed his hands together, small energy balls came out from his hands and plopped right into the water and the water was suddenly able to heal and rejuvenate the withered plants."
"It seemed that the powers after I meditated or something was something like what Penelope could do too. The withered plants suddenly got awakened and its drooping branches and leaves started to raise itself up and new sprouts came out as well."
"It was as if telling the whole world that it had come back alive and ready to face the world once again. Look at me... Wheee... I am alive and well again. Hahaha."
Priestess Penelope was there and was intrigued that I could also conjure up some special abilities to rejuvenate withered plants.
"Can you tell any difference about yourself before and after the meditation, Your Majesty? That's the most important thing right now even if it's too early to tell." Eagle asked me so that he too could make his own assessment of what had happened to me while being in a meditative state.
"Well... I heard some booming skids and some points in my body were sort of opened up. Then before I came around and found myself lying down on the floor with my cross-legged position still, I heard a pop sound somewhere on my body."
"Those sounds that I had heard came from the top of my head, my forehead, my throat, chest, abdomen and lower abdomen and lastly my nether region. Maybe Heather will check my nether region if there something happening to it or not. Hahaha."
*BOOM BOOM POW*
My arm was suddenly hit by Heather as she blushed at the mention of such a sensitive bedroom issue to the rest of them. Hahaha. I grinned at Heather and said to her that she was lucky.
"Why am I so lucky? Tell me why, huh... Huh... Huh...?"
"Hahaha... You are lucky because firstly my other Audemars is married to a woman called Trish that looked like you and secondly Robin Hood's wife, Matilda, also looked like you and have a fiery temper too. Hahahaha."
"Matilda... You mean Marion or Maid Marian?" Old Kayla asked since she also knew about this Robin Hood character where she used to hear from her grandparents a long time ago.
"Eerr... She was called Matilda, Old Kayla by some old wrinkled lady. I think she was her granny or something and she could aim a ladle at my head from some 20 laces away with precision. Hahaha."
I remembered the event clearly and I narrated to them the event that happened before Matilda/Heather had thrown the ladle at me for kicking her meow meow.
Everyone laughed when Heather hid her face behind my back when I told everyone about how I was caught riding a red fox playfully and don't recall on how I managed to kick Matilda/Heather's meow meow. Hahaha.
Old Kayla cleared her throat and then she suggested, "Your Majesty, I think you need to check Heather's meow meow later and she could check your nether region later on yes? Well, it's late right now, so we better leave these two to check on their pet animals then. Let's go... All of you. Back to bed then."
Everyone laughed once more and excused themselves as they head downstairs. The helpers too stifled their laughter and rushed down after making sure the twins had snugly left in their own beds.
As for us... I asked Heather whether she wanted me to be the other Audemars or Robin Hood and she laughed lightly and hugged my arm while saying, "I want my real Audemars tonight and no one else, dear. You're really cute you know and how dare you go and kick Matilda's meow meow."
We went to our own bedroom to retire and little did I knew that the pop sound that I heard within me was actually the unlocking of my inner self to both beings that had entered through Samuel the Seer and Selena during Felicity's séance.
