Capítulo 6: Parts of the second

We left and headed towards it, which is not far from Ayoub's house, about 20 kilometers approximately. We took a taxi and headed towards that place. It is a barren land where no birds fly and no humans walk, only a few cars pass by occasionally. We entered this barren land and went through a small opening in a large wall. There was nothing but some randomly placed large stones. Carmen said these stones are a gateway to time travel and they are not random but arranged as symbols. If you look at them from above, you'll see a magical circle. Carmen opened his wallet and gave me a needle, saying that I should prick my finger with it when he tells me, as we will need my blood for the process. We waited for sunset. As the moment approached, Mohammed and I sat together and I asked him to reassure my mother and help her if she needs anything, as she will be alone. The reality of this transformation in my life is a miracle. Is all of this a coincidence or is it the will of God? I don't know. Ayoub is still not comprehending what is happening; he is just listening and observing. Carmen instructed me to hide the book somewhere when I arrive and not to forget it. As the sun began to set, Carmen took the book and placed it in the center of the circle. Then he said, "Enter the circle and put drops of your blood in that hole at the back of the book." He opened the book to those dark pages, and Carmen started saying phrases that I didn't understand. It seemed like phrases Martin had said to him. After a while, something took me. I couldn't see or understand anything.
