Dark Truth

13

With the hope that I will change destiny, I started writing in mid-air. I wrote some words in hope that I will stop her and that I will wake Tremor and Fana up. Nothing was happening. It is like this whole area is like that anti-magic bridge that we came across before. I need to figure something out before she succeeds to strike me. She is just angry, I know that. I know that I can get through her and help her and apologize. It wasn’t right from me to that. It just wasn’t.

-“Hey Kana!” – I yelled. –“I am sorry for your wings, let me make it right.”

-“You will pay for what you’ve done.” –she said with anger. –“To use Feros’ power on me. What were you thinking?”

-“I wasn’t, I wanted to save Tremor and myself. It wasn’t right. Please, listen to me and let me make it right.”

-“The only thing that you could make it right is if you die, right here and right now.” – she screamed and threw some spiky branches at me with her mind.

I ran towards her. I thought If I come closer to her I could somehow hug her and make her to stop. Will hope to help her? Will a nice warm hug help her? What am I thinking, I am about to die.

-“Don’t you dare come close to me.” –she started and started making grass to rot and to become like sand. From that sand, she grew thorns and I was caught in a fern of thorns that were going into my body.

It was like harvesting a raspberry. Whenever you try to harvest one you always get caught by one thorn. It is one bloody work. I yelled in pain. It was horrible, it was the highest level of pain and I have ever experienced. Even when Tremor pushed me through the window can’t measure with this. Not even goblin spear. I was caught in a web of thorns and I could not move. I did not come close enough to her. I was hopeless. What should I do?

Suddenly, Tremor appeared. He managed somehow to wake up and to come to help me.

-“Tremor!” – I said with joy.

-“Don’t worry my friend. I will help you somehow.” –he replied.

-“Do you know what are you doing?” –I asked.

-“Not a clue.”- he said.

Fabulous. Now we are both going to die. The tremor started jumping from one fern to another like it was a trampoline. He is getting closer and closer to her. She is attacking with great speed but he somehow manages to keep up. While I was looking at him and his great acrobatic level, I noticed that he has become human completely. I looked at him surprised. I know that face. I know him from somewhere. Then it hits me. It was my imaginary friend when I was a little boy when I was four-years-old. As I said during my memory, I never had any friends. So I had to imagine one. And I imagined him. A little boy with curly black hair very energetic. We used to play tag and he would always hide from me in closets and behind doors. He always admires the doors and he always wanted to open and close them. It drives my mother insane with all that opening and closing doors around the house. I can’t believe that it is him. Or is it just a coincidence? Maybe that is why he is helping me because he feels the same way. He must have known all along with this truth.

As Tremor was getting closer to Kana, he eventually jumped on the platform of flowers that she made for herself. He was now facing to face with her. She was still angry and still wanted to kill him. But he was faster. He hugged her and she calms down.

-“Don’t worry auntie. Tremor is here.” –he said with a calm voice.

She started crying like a baby. When she calmed down herself, her magic stoped. Everything that was rotten and that was hurting someone is now again green and harmless. Fana is awake too.

-“Sister! I can’t stay long you know that. Let me fix your wings.” –and Fana started healing her wings.

Kana is still crying. She can’t say a word. When Fana healed her wings she started disappearing and eventually was gone.

-“What happened to Fana?” –I asked and was picking out some thorns that were left inside me.

-“She teleported far away from Kana. I told you that they can’t be near each other.” –Tremor said.

-“I just wanted to make sure she is ok.” –I said.

I was laying. I wanted her to go away so she would not kill me, eventually when this all ends.

-“Kana! I am sorry for hurting you. I am so sorry.” –I begged for forgiveness.

Since I can’t forgive myself for killing my psychiatrist I needed some glimpse of hope from somebody else that I am still a good person. She looked and me and stopped crying, nodded with her head with approval and I was relieved. Her wings are now healed and she could fly again. Maybe she could help us get faster to the castle. I was about to talk with her about that but I wanted to check something out first.

-“Tremor! Do you want to play tag for a little bit.” –I asked.

Tremor jumped from happiness.

-“You remember?” –he said.

Now that he had the form of a human it was all clear to me. He was my imaginary friend from childhood. Now he had everything that humans have. Eyes, nose, mouth, and body. He was not a silhouette anymore. Kana was surprised and was looking at us running around the empty field playing tag. She was shocked. She did not know what was going on but she was happy that she got her wings back. She flapped with her wings and went to the sky making two or three circles around the empty field.

-“Good as usual.” –she said.

We did not care. We were playing tag like children. I really wanted to enjoy this moment. It is not like you can always catch up with your imaginary friend from childhood.

-“I can’t believe that you are real.” – I said to Tremor with joy.

-“I was always real. I could even be real to your mother if she believed in me.” –he said.

Tremor explained that he could take human form and that is how he came to me in the first place. That is one of his powers too. Not just to guard but also to infiltrate the human world to check what is happening so he could report that to Fero. But he had never said anything bad about the human world since he had so much fun with me playing tag and other games.

-“You made my childhood so much better.” –I said to him.

-“And you made me just the way I am today.” –he replied.

Then, we gazed at each other like we haven’t seen each other for some time. That is true. When he was in his silhouette form I could not recognize. We did not see each other in years, at least not in his form. Kana was still looking at us. She must think that we are insane. After we rested for a while, we needed to go for our goal. Our mission was to save Fran. But, then I remembered something that Tremor said. He said that the superior world is the same as ours but advanced. How come we are fighting goblins in the middle of the forest and in the middle of an area that looked like mid-ages? I asked him about that and he said that we are not still in the superior world, there are three stages before we can get to the real superior world. The first stage is the darkroom with brick molded walls where he has been guarding the door. The second stage is a dream thinkable world, where when you think about something it will come true, like fire mountain-lions and everything that we have experienced until now. The third stage is really something like hell. What you have been doing in the real world will affect you being there. So, we were about to get to the third stage of this phenomenal world. Kana promised to help us and she joined the party.

-“How do we get to the third stage?” –I asked Tremor.

He explained to me again that the third stage will come on its own eventually and the only thing that we can do right now is to go ahead and explore this dream thinkable world in hope that no one will think about something horrifying. So we started walking around. Yet again we were found in a forest of Ivory and were admiring the nature that Kana created. Kana looks exhausted. Even though her wings healed she has barely enough power in her.

-“I used all of my power to try to kill you. I am sorry for that. I never met a human in my life. I was a bit scared when I first attacked you.” –she started. – “I could not even recognize my own nephew.

I forgave her. I left it behind us because all we have to do right now is to get along and trust each other. Who was the best person that I can trust is Tremor my childhood imaginary friend. I still can’t believe that he is real and that he took the form of humans and became everything that I needed in life. I must concentrate and think about how are we going to save Fran. We all had beautiful thoughts so nothing bad could happen. I thought about my mother again. I wish she would have witnessed the man I become. After a while of walking through the nature of a dream thinkable world, we came to the area where one wooden cottage could be found. What is the meaning of this? When will we get to the third stage?

-“Oh, there is trouble ahead.” –Kana said. – “I see some weird energy from that cottage. Did someone think about something?” –she asked us.

Tremor and I looked at each other and were negating with our heads. Nodding around in sign of a word no. All I thought about was my mother. Then I sensed it. A smell, so familiar that I could feel myself going back to my childhood. It was a smell of my mother's famous pie that she was making a lot. Blueberry pie. Is my mother in that cottage? I asked my self and started running towards it to go into it and see for myself. Kana and Tremor stopped me for a minute.

-“This is all your thoughts. Be careful.” –they warned me.

I could not help myself but run into that cottage. While coming near the cottage I noticed fresh flowers and my mother's smell. I can’t believe that she is also trapped in this world. Like Fran. Do we all go here when we die?

I have gone into the cottage.

-“Mother!” –I started searching for her.

-“Mother!” –I was so devasted in saying those words. I can’t believe that I will see her yet again after all of those years.

-“Mother! Is that you!” –I started.

No one was there. I sat down on the wooden floor and hugged my knees while crying. I hoped so badly that I will see her. My thought of her did not go away. What happened?

Tremor and Kana sat down with me. Kana hugged us with her wings and said.

-“Everything is going to be alright.” –she started. –“She will come. She must. She made a pie.”

What is this horrible world? They took my mother again away from me. I hate being here. We must go and save Fran. That is our only mission. After I cried a lot, we were about to go outside the cottage and when we're about to open the door I heard her footsteps. She really is here. We opened the door and there she was. Standing in her flowers, watering them and singing in the sunlight.

-“Mother!” –I said with a thrill in my voice.

She looked at me but she could not recognize me.

-“It is me. Evan. Your son!” –I said.

She stopped singing. She stopped everything that she was doing. She gazed upon us and started searching through her brain the memory of us.

-“I don’t have a son.” –she said.

My heart was broken to hear those words. I can’t believe that she said something like that. My greatest fear is not to be recognized by my parents and them to have Alzheimer's disease. She must have had that disease. There is no other explanation than that.

-“You do mother. You have me. Evan.” –I started going through her and wanted with all of my heart for her to remember.

Her face went dark. She was angry. She wasn’t herself. I could feel that.

-“Please mother, remember. Remember when we used to make pizza together?” –I started going through my memories too.

She was angrier than before. What am I doing wrong? How can I get to her?

-“We told you to be careful!” –said Tremor.

After he said that, my mother became something that I never have seen before. Flowers died instantly and the cottage was falling apart. What is going on?

Sun came down and it was night time. There are no stars. We could not see a finger in front of our eyes.

-“She was here for so long that she became superior.” –Kana said. –“This must be one of Tabul’s new creations.” –she started.

-“New creations?” –I stumbled saying that.

She explained to me how Tabul has the power to create as many superiors he wants. Without even getting married. He is the god amongst them. Eventually when humans came to this world, when Tremor doesn’t eat their souls they wander around this dream thinkable world. When Tabul finds them he decides will he turn them to ashes or will he give some kind of power to them? That is why we don’t exactly know how many siblings do we have.

I could not believe my eyes and my ears. My mother is his new creation?

-“There is a catch. Every of his new creation is more powerful than a previous creation.” –she said.

My mother is even more powerful than Kana and Fero? I stunned. I could not move.

-“What should we do?” –I asked.

-“We need to see her power and then we will know what to do.” –said Tremor.

Because it was pitch black we needed to go inside the cottage that was falling apart. We hoped that the light from candles in the cottage will show us what she can really do. We were in a living room.

-“Now, we wait.” –said Kana calmly.

We were waiting. What is there to wait for? I need to try to come to my mother and bring her sence back. She must be controlled by Tabul. Tabul’s power is insane.

She appeared to us. Now, I knew that that creation is not my mother. She did not look like her nor I could feel the smell that I felt before. I looked at her with shock.

She was covered in blood and wearing an apron. Her eyes were pitch black and her hair was falling apart. It is like she was going through cancer all over again. She did not have teeth and her nails were so long. One nail is missing I guess it is because she is in pain. She floated above the floor. Down her legs, blood started to flow. Every inch of the floor is now covered in blood. We are standing in her blood.

From that blood big pillars were made. They were rock solid. From pillars grew arms and they took us, prisoners. We could not move. Not even Kana. It all happened in seconds.

-“I shall make a beautiful pie from you.” –she said. –“Tabul loves meat pie.” –she continued.

Tremor and Kana were looking at me with anger. I know what they are thinking. I must change the flow of my thoughts. I can’t help it creating the worst thing in my mind when I heard that Tabul made her in one of his creations. She is superior now. We need to fight.

She came to us. She just appeared in front of me. With her nail she let my blood flow down my forehead. It hurt a lot. I screamed Kanas's name in the hope that she will do something. At least, she is one of the superiors. But, her power is turned down. I guess these pillars serve for my mother as anti-magic stuff. Like that anti-magic bridge that we faced before.

That means, the only thing that I can do now is… nothing. I can’t hurt my mother. Even though she is now one of the creations that Tabul made, she still is my mother. Tremor and Kana were waiting for me to do something. I just let him take my blood and decided to surrender my life to her. She gave birth to me at least what I can do is let her take that life back. She tortured us. With her nails, she made a river of blood that flows from us. She was licking it and enjoying herself. For her, we were her feast. I felt like several years have passed. There is no end to this suffering.

Suddenly, I heard a shot. My mother stumbled with an open mouth and fell. Pillars have fallen apart. We were free. Covered in blood but free. All of the blood went into the floor. Sun came up again. My mother got her true form. Yet again, I held her head while she was dying. I cried a lot. Tremor and Kana were searching where did that shot come from. The cottage door opened.

-“Detective Murlock?” –I said in shock.

-“You were trouble from the start, young man!” –he pointed at me. –“What is this vile world?” –he asked.
