Chapitre 7: Possession
They Began fastened their steps. The more they enter the northern maze. The more their fear formed in their mind. Their breathing were slowly troubled.
The whole maze itself was always forbidden except when The Rite of Passage was commenced. The strange black aura that is native to the maze was also the test. But the northern part …
The elder or the keeper of the maze never spoke about it. It was as if that part of the maze was truly forgotten.
Anything about forbidden things albeit magical or physical, was strictly forbidden, and would be repeated and explained why it was forbidden every time in his everyday life with his elder. Zyrral already knew everything about the forbidden things including the Rite of Passage maze. But the inside of it?
One sentence that flashed in his mind. 'Forbidden things attracted forbidden occurrence.'
Something that should had not been existed will be attracted to that thing.
Some of the people that passed the Rite of Passage never truly bother about it. And just getting over it by using one of the three entrances towards the center.
'Strange.' That was the word that lingers on Zyrral's mind.
Zyrral glance in his right. The reddish fur companion's teeth were visibly trembling. Not only that, his running also affected. The tremble on the reddish fur companion's paws made him look limping.
The golden silvered tiger could not help but be concerned about his own companion.
"What's your name?" Zyrral thought that a conversation would ease both of them.
"V-villian. Your Highness!" He smiled slightly. There was a tremble in his voice. After the quick conversation, Zyrral could see that his companion's fear was slightly reduced.
Zyrral took turns and looked to his left. "How about you?"
"Trevor … Sir!" The yellowish companion did not show any smile. But Zyrral could see that this companion also got both paws trembling in fear.
Unfortunately, Zyrral could not see clearly the path that leads to the center from the northern maze due to interference of the black fog. But he could seem to estimate the path that he should take from instinct alone.
This part of the maze looked straight forward when compared to the east, south, and west part. Zyrral was 80% sure that what lies ahead is the other end of the gate that leads to the center of the maze.
Suddenly, his step forcefully stopped. An eerie shrine stood in front of him.
Zyrral never knew the shrine existed. No documentation of it ever existed during Zyrral's lifetime as a tiger.
The more he looked at the place, the more his vision went blurry. The gold silvered tiger felt that this place should not exist in the first place.
He felt some kind of strange connection towards it, as if this place seeks Zyrral more than seek this place.
"Zyrral … Reiss … Zy … Rei"
The gold silvered tiger was taken aback. 'How .. did that voice know my real name?'
The thought of him having a delusion had occurred to him. But his instinct told him that something called him. The thing tried to make a connection to his whole body.
"Hello?" Zyrral screamed.
The strange aura felt like a black hole at this point. Makes you want to run away but at the same time the urge … the urge to go into that shrine is getting inevitable. Zyrral's feet walked on his own.
[Let go of your physical belonging.] The voice echoes in Zyrral's mind. Completely hypnotize him.
He began to walk aimlessly forward. His long ear deafened little by little. His consciousness went into tranquility.
What was left was his mind. Trying to rewind everything that he had been through from birth as Reiss, death as Reiss, second birth as Zyrral, and the moment of death … as Zyrral.
The flashback of the slideshow is over. 'It is now … curtain closed.'
"No!" His mind snapped. "I must get away!"
His will did not want to experience a second death. But his body won't listen. Zyrral can see clearly the spiraling darkness of the abyss.
"Help!"
His calls barely left his mouth. All sound sucked by the vortex of abyss.
"I can't!"
[Spirit Channeling]
Zyrral screamed on top of his lungs!
This [Spirit Channeling] was different from his previous ones. His body tensed to the point of imploding. His skin felt like they had been skinned gradually.
He watched his body gradually move in front of him. Walking forward aimlessly. The spirit of himself tried to call the main body. But it was for naught. The body keeps moving forward to the endless darkness of the shrine.
Then a gigantic hand made of darkness suddenly emerged and grabbed Zyrral main body. He could only see his body floating as the dark hand tightened its grip into his body.
"No!" Zyrral mustered his whole voice. But there was no sound.
He saw his body being enveloped by darkness. Gradually losing its form and vanishing.
Zyrral felt that his [Spirit Channeling] is getting stronger.
[You successfully giving yourself of your physical belonging]
[For that I bestow you. Abyssal Power. The power to take over anything!]
[Possession.]
Immediately the strange black aura gathered around Zyrral's finger paw. And vanished when made contact with his spirit body.
The strange aura around the maze suddenly vanished. Not only that, there was a huge hole under the center of the shrine. It oozed the same strange black aura. But not spreading like his previous encounter.
"Where is my body?" His spirit mouth did not produce any sound.
Zyrral glanced back to his two companions. Trevor could be seen running away in some distances.
Meanwhile Villian, laying there with his feets and paws, trembled.
He was still breathing.
No wounds or blood. He was just scared himself until his body froze in place.
Trevor and other people still could carry him from this place and save him.
But for Zyrral … He himself is beyond saving.
'I need to live again … one last time' says Zyrral inwardly.
He ran towards his scared companion and jumped into his body. Villian's body trembles convusely. It was as he was resisting Zyrral's control over him.
