chapter 6: resurection pt.1

I was here again, in the pitch black darkness.

Like before, it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Quietly going straight ahead, I waited for her to appear.

"you are back!"

"you took your time to come"

"so...will you do it?"

Not even paying attention to what I said, she went straight to the point.

Will I fight the Chimera?! Hell no, that would be suicide! Is what normal people would say now but I thought differently. If she gave me that mission, then that meant it was possible, even if I would die. What even is dying? I already died once, a second time doesn't matter, or a third. The first time is always the worst in anything, so I would manage.

"Yes"

"Understood, well then. Save travels"

With that she waved her hand and a portal opened up in front of me. Not thinking twice I walked through.

See Persephone? I would find my way back, even without you or the king.

"until we meet again, Me"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reverie walked through the portal and a small child watched her vanish in it.

She was blinded by bright light while she kept walking, till she made her way through a window and entered a room. No, more precisely it was actually a mirror she entered through. A mirror so huge, it could fit two 2 meter tall men. It was adorned with a baroque , old frame.

The room Reverie found herself in, was all too familiar to her. She was there before, not too long ago. It was the abyssal room she saw before, just this time she entered through what she assumed to be a door hidden by curtains, but turned out to be a portal in a mirror.

The abyss was known for all kinds of different things. One was, it was never the same and constantly changed, like as if it actually lived. Second, the time ran differently than outside. Third, no-one knew what lived in the abyss, or how deep it was, or what could be found in there. It was just endless with endless possibilities.

Reverie looked around the room, seeming to wait for someone or something.

It was quite obvious, that she waited on the bunny plush she talked to before.

"I know you are here, Mr bunny!" she shouted.

It didn't took long for the bunny to show up.

"Hello my lady, we meet again"

"You said we would talk when we meet again"

"No, I said you would understand when we meet again"

-this bunny sure takes notice of the small details, how annoying but it could be useful in the future. For now I gotta get answers.

"understand what?"

"you already know the aswer, so why ask an unnecessary question?! you hate them"

-He was right, I hated them.

They are time consuming and a waste of energy.

"true. You called me my lady, does that mean...I'm the owner of this place?"

Reverie looked around, scanning the place till the last corner of it impregnated in her memories.

"of course you are. You always have been"

"I see. So...this is...my home?"

-it was hard to believe I actually had a place to call home all along, I always thought I never had one.

"it indeed is."

"When did I live then?"

Her voice wavered at that question, she knew too well what she was asking there and the consequences would be hard to bear ,once she heard the answer.

-under normal circumstances I wouldn't have asked such a question, but now that I knew, that I was the ruler of the abyss, it wasn't too far fetched to ask this question.

"800 years ago my lady"

"I see, so I lived in the victorian era...that explains the interior. But why was I in the future?"

"That is something I cant answer"

"Why?"

At this point her voice was nothing more than a small quivering, while hot tears filled her confused eyes.

"Because you erased your memories"

"Why would I do something like that?"

She got more and more agitated and her voice louder with each word.

-I erased my memories?!?! Why would I do that? Sounds irrational to me.

"Because you suffered greatly, my lady"

There it was, the truth she already assumed but didn't want to hear and yet she did.

"I see."

She sat down on the fluffy big bed and stared to the ground ,all the while being quiet.

-So I suffered more than I did till now and decided to erase my memories?! Damn...must have been a hell of a life I had then. Now I'm actually curious to know what happened. I'm sure when the time comes I'll find out more.

For that, I need the ability to travel through time.

"Hey, Mr. bunny"

"Yes, my lady?"

"Can i live here? With Nox and travel through time and space as I like?"

"Of course you can, this is your realm after all, my lady"

"Alright, then get Nox here with me"

"As you wish"

The bunny made it's way towards the mirror and extended one of it's stitched on ears towards the surface and caused waves like those of a waterdrop falling on a calm water surface.

Reverie stared at the mirror and bunny ,wondering if he would really bring her beloved cat here.

Just a few moments later she could make out the shape of him on the other side of the mirror. She jumped up and ran towards it, calling his name.

"Nox!"

"Meow?"

The cat, absolutely shocked from the sudden call out, spun around and looked straight into the mirror that hung in the apartment he was in.

"meowww!"

It only took a small moment for him to recognize the person in front of him and ran towards her.

He crossed the mirror and ended in the abyssal room, but ran into her arms without a care for the changing surroundings.

"I missed you!"
