I saw myself going through a portal to who knows where. But I was smiling. " So like what I'm I doing over there". [It's you from the past , doing that and to answer your question, you were going to see someone very important to you]> " Ok, and who is that someone".
[ You will find out when you start getting your memories back]
[ Mission Allocated ]
[Mission : Memories are you]
[ Objective : Get your second set of memories]
[ Reward: The memories you get are your rewards]
[ Punishment if failed:None]
[ Amount of time to complete: Indefinit]
"Hey , thank you for this beautiful mission as there is no stupidly cruel punishment and it easy to complete" and then I turned and started heading towards the exit. After walking for a bit I reached the door ....or at least I thought I did.
" Huh" I was back abit before the door . I really don't want to do anything, so I ignored the phenomenon and just started walking towards the exit again .
"Hm, that's strange" I said as I glossed through the paintings on the walls.
And I reached the door just like that ,again.
However like before , the moment my hand touched the door handle, I found myself back to where I was previously, but just two steps in front.
" I'm just lagging " I said and then I started walking again to reach the door. After touching again I found myself , like previously, back where I was but this time 5 steps in front.
Well I guess just continue walking until I am very y hungry or it lets me go , at least until I get . So I just continued walking.
After dozens of attempts , each one placing me slightly closer than before and after about 50 minutes or so , I was able to finally leave that room. " Well , that was tiring".
I should just continue walking forward without entering anymore rooms. After I finished the though , that's when I noticed that it's really dark, like so dark I can't even see the sillouhetes of the vases, stands or anything else around in the corridor.
I was about to ask who turned off the lights , that's when a thought entered my head.
Maybe the energy that was keeping them operational for so long has finally run out.
Maybe it's something else I don't know but it doesn't matter does it .
So I just shrugged it off and started walking again to reach my destination.
After a few minutes of walking peacefully with a few thoughts and looking down , I hit a a wall that feels like a corner and then I left my thoughts to look where I was now. But all I was met with is darkness.
" Sigh" I sighed and then I got sylthar from the inventory and started tracing it on the ground to see how many turns where I am.
So I put it's tip on the ground right where the corner of the wall is but the I just remembered that I can use magic,so I put the blade , put my hand out with a open palm , and tried conjuring a small flame at the top of it.
Then it appeared but a bit bigger than I wanted it to be, but it doesn't matter at all, cause at least I can see.
I stopped those thoughts and looked around to see where I am.
After looking around for a bit I found that I am in an area with four different paths , the one where I was coming from , one in front , one left and one right. And I also found that the one in front had a open area leading to the dining area of this place and there's another open area in the path I was coming from on the left that's leads to this place is parlor . And I also found that there three doors leading to somewhere that I don't know evenly spaced between each the front , right and left. And the one in the front is a bit ahead of the open space , giving me a rough idea of how far each one is from each other.
Let me go to the parlor here, since it's is in the area I was from coming from.
I went and entered the place that looks like a parlour for just relaxing and what. And surprisingly, there are comfortable looking chairs and a sofa that is big enough for me to sleep on for sometime at the end of the room. It doesn't look like I will be very comfortable on it , but I would be comfortable enough to sleep soundly.
There also many other things around the room like a fireplace , paintings , antique looking things and so on which I would love to get detailed int after my very important sleep.
I started walking to the sofa and put my head on it.
[ Are you seriously going to sleep , here of all places].
" Yes I will ".
[ But didn't you get enough sleep, I mean like I saw sleeping for how long you wanted and I know very much by checking on your condition that you are very okay , and have had enough sleep].
" I just want to sleep as it makes me feel good , and plus there is no danger here and it even has light compared to the place out of that open space of there " I said pointing to the open space on which I ued to enter the parlor , and then I continued " I haven't seen a monster nor do I think there is any danger , so can you just please wake me up 40 minutes from now and we shall see if there was any danger by then".
[ Don't put any blame on me ],and then the panel flickered out of life as I put my head down to sleep.
But it was very difficult to sleep.
I knew I couldn't stay still forever.
The time element had a limit,I couldn't stay asleep or awake for too long without consequences.
And yet…
My mind refused to shut up.
Even when there was nothing to worry about, it kept running.
Thinking.
Analyzing.
Overthinking.
"Why is it like this…?"
I stared at the ceiling.
The room was quiet.
Safe.
Still.
There was nothing to disturb my sleep but I just couldn't sleep!
"…Tch."
I clicked my tongue softly.
Five minutes passed.
Maybe more.
Nothing changed.
Just me… and my thoughts.
Eventually, I let out a slow breath.
My body finally relaxed.
And slowly,
My eyes closed.
The noise in my head faded little by little…
Until there was nothing left.
And I fell asleep.
