Chapter 7: Gnimaerd
~ ~ ~
There was a shrine. It was huge and ancient, sitting in the middle of the large granite courtyard. There were gardens, and pathways with iron wrought benches along the paths. The stones in the courtyard were gray flecked and smooth. There were spots for trees to grow in the middle of the granite slabs-willows, cherry trees, oaks, ashes, beeches, and countless others. But none obscured the view of the temple.
It had many columns, and high grand arches. The roof was black tiled, and there were rooftop gardens dotting its gentle slope. Trails of ivy and morning glory snaked up the pillars and windows. The whole atmosphere was tranquil and serene.
A girl sat in a bench nearby. She watched the lines of people. Little children tugged at harried mothers' skirts. Elders waited patiently. Groups talked together in hushed voices. She didn't know why they were lined up; probably there to see someone. Someone important. 'I must be here to see someone too,' she thought. Suddenly she realized that she couldn't remember anything that happened before that moment.
The girl looked around, confused. 'How come I can't remember who I am?' The thought was frightening. All she could recall was the scent of the gardens and the sight of the temple. Like she had just woken up from a dream, and here was real. 'But why wouldn't it be real?' she thought.
The girl noticed a woman approaching her. She was a plainly dressed woman with a pleasant look on her face. "She will see you now, Chihiro." The woman gestured towards the temple doors. They were open.
"Is that me?" she asked, "am I Chihiro?" The name was familiar to her lips. "Chihiro." she whispered. Glancing up, Chihiro saw the doors still open. She walked up the steps and entered.
The inside of the temple was dark and slightly musty. Chihiro could distinguish shadow-like figures moving around in the background. The temple stretched forwards; there was a long red rug leading up to a throne-like chair at the end. Seated in the throne was a shrouded figure. She stared at it. The figure was motionless.
"You know where you are, don't you?"
Chihiro started. She hadn't noticed someone standing next to her. It was a young girl, most likely ten years of age. She had long, silvery-white hair and large golden eyes. But her eyes seemed to hold more wisdom than a normal ten-year-old would have.
Chihiro paused and thought for a moment. "This is."
The girl answered for her. "The Temple of Ananda, in the city of Uoyera1 in Gnimaerd2."
Chihiro nodded slowly. She turned to the figure, trying to figure something out. There was something in her mind, something she knew.
"I'm here to see someone." she whispered. The golden-eyed girl listened and nodded. Chihiro thought some more. She stared hard at the figure in the shroud on the throne. It was too still. It could have been a statue. 'That's not right,' she thought, 'I don't think that's the one I'm here to see.' Chihiro waited for the answer to come. She knew it would, and waited patiently. When it came she was surprised.
"You?!" she gasped, turning to the young girl. "I'm not supposed to see that, that thing.I'm here to see you!"
The girl laughed joyously and threw her arms up in the air. Suddenly the dark and gloomy aura of the temple disappeared. Chihiro saw the shadowy figures in the background were servants bustling around. The dark figure in the chair collapsed, like a piece of cloth that had nothing to sit on. She turned to the girl next to her. Instead of the plain garb she had been wearing before, the girl was wearing a rich crimson kimono. Her hair was up in tiny braids and an ornate knot. All of a sudden, she had the appearance of one much older than Chihiro. But the girl still had the look of a child.
The girl smiled. "Well done Chihiro!" she cried.
Chihiro was confused. "What did I do?"
"You've passed your first test!"
"First test? What--where--I mean, who are you?"
The girl became serious. "Haven't you guessed? I am the Oracle! I am the person you need to see. I am ANANDA!" she yelled the last word out loud. Her voice seemed different on the last word, and it rang a bell in her mind. Chihiro tried to remember, but nothing came. Words.voices.dreams.. She decided not to push it.
"So your name is.Ananda." Chihiro paused. 'Oracle.' "Then you can tell me who I am!" she cried happily. Now she could find out who she was.
Ananda sighed. "It's not that easy Chihiro." She grabbed Chihiro's wrist and pulled her along the corridors of the temple. It was surprisingly larger than it had seemed on the inside.
They passed rooms, countless hallways and servants. Some rooms were open, and others were closed shut. The shut doors flashed by, ominous black monoliths breaking the calm white of the walls. The floors were made of countless different materials. Polished marble, granite, wood, carpet, reeds, and rushes. The walls were plain but had many lovely prints, but not too many.
Finally they arrived at one of the rooftop gardens. It was beautiful. The scent of flowers was strong, but not overpowering. It slipped behind the curtains, under benches, unnoticed but there in a solid presence. She could smell thousands of different kinds of flowers, but the most distinct smells she detected were that of Daisies and Irises. Flowers..
"Wow." she whispered, "you can see everywhere." The courtyard below stretched out in a square, and the smaller paths and gardens were all visible. After the gardens were forests and a river. Beyond that were plains of rolling green grass, and in the distance, faint purple mountains.
"Chihiro." Ananda said, sadly. Chihiro turned around from the view to look at the girl with sad gold eyes. "Do you remember this?" She reached around Chihiro and touched her back. Her hand came back with blood.
Chihiro gasped. But suddenly, it made sense. ".I was.hit.by wooden beams? I was knocked.out.?"
Ananda nodded. Chihiro knew something was coming. A memory.
The beam menaced above her. A futile attempt to protect her head as it fell on her back. Pain. Coughing, blood. Splinters falling around her, and then the final blow on her head.
"Oh." she whispered. She knew she had been hit. Ananda knew too.
"That's all I can tell you," Ananda said, "now it's up to you to remember who you are."
Chihiro shook her head. "But.how?"
"This is why you're here. The Temple is.a place of renewal. Anything is possible. Until you can remember what has happened to you--everything--you will remain here." Her tone was pitying, and somehow comforting.
Chihiro sighed, confused again. "So let me get this straight. I got hit in the head, I have amnesia or something, and I was sent here --"
"To me," Ananda replied, "in the Temple of Ananda, the city of Uoyera in Gnimaerd." Her eyes were like golden lasers. Chihiro felt like they could see into her soul, as if they already knew what Chihiro couldn't remember.
".to get my memory back." Chihiro sat in a thoughtful silence. 'My name is Chihiro. I.I'm..okay, I don't know my age. Where was I before this?' she mused, 'where is Gnimaerd? Where do I live.where is.the world?'
Ananda watched Chihiro think. It pained her to see her with no inkling of who she was, of what she was going to do. If Chihiro couldn't recover, she would never return to herself.never find.
"Where do I live?" Chihiro asked.
Ananda shook her head. "I can't tell you."
"Where is this? Where is here?"
"Gnimaerd."
"Well where is Gnimaerd? Where do we exist?"
Ananda walked over to a plaque on the wall. It read: The Temple of Ananda, Uoyera, Gnimaerd. "You will know where Gnimaerd is when you are ready to go back."
"Back where?"
"To your.home."
Chihiro gave an exasperated moan. "So I'm stuck here knowing absolutely nothing about me except that I had an accident and now I have some freak case of amnesia and I'm stuck here in the middle of.I don't know.and I have to remember everything by myself. Just my luck."
Ananda smiled mischievously. "Correct. But what is luck? Is it just.chance? Or coincidence?"
Chihiro looked at the oracle curiously. "How old are you?"
She didn't answer. "Do you believe in fate?"
"What kind of question is that? Fate is.when your life is already predestined. That's just boring." Chihiro rolled her eyes.
"How would you know if it was predestined or not? When you live your life out you never know if it's preordained unless you go to an accurate fortune teller." she cocked an eyebrow.
Chihiro opened her mouth. Then she closed it. After a pause she muttered, "I'm going to be stuck here for forever."
Once again, Ananda shook her head. "No, sometimes memories can be reawakened by a scent, or sight. When you remember one thing, it will open a hole in the wall, setting a wave of recollections on you. And forever is a very long time."
Chihiro was silent. Then, "If I can't remember who I am, then how come I know other things?"
For once, the oracle looked startled. "Other things?"
Chihiro nodded. "Well, I remember how to ride a bike. If you gave me a bike, I could ride it, right here and right now. But you see, I can't remember ever learning how to ride one, or riding one before. There are no recollections."
The oracle frowned thoughtfully.
Chihiro continued. "I know what a computer is. But I've never seen one! Or at least, I don't remember seeing one. Not a thing. All I remember is what happened from that bench in the yard. But what I know."
Ananda turned to her. "What you do know," she repeated softly.
"Couldn't have been learned in that frame of time. I must have learned it all, but all that's left is the past few minutes and instructions. How to cook, how to scrub floors, math, art, vocabulary..none of it means anything without memories to back them up."
Ananda patted Chihiro on the shoulder. "Try not to think to hard. Memory is like a spider's web. If you push to hard, it'll break. Now come with me. You need to relax."
At a much slower pace the oracle took Chihiro to a large room. The floors were tiled and there was a large tub in the middle. The soft scent of bath herbs floated in the air. Chihiro breathed it in. For some reason she didn't mind it. It was almost familiar.
She noticed Ananda watching her, almost as if she expected Chihiro to do something. Or remember something. 'But why would bath herbs strike up a memory?' she wondered.
"Relax and take a nice relaxing bath." Ananda told her.
Chihiro nodded.
"If you need anything, just yell my name. I'll come, or a servant if I'm busy." Ananda walked out of the room. Chihiro noticed that her feet were perfectly silent, like a cat's padded feet. Then with a jolt she realized that the oracle had no shadow. Looking down, Chihiro was shocked to see she didn't have one either.
Shaking her head dazedly, Chihiro undressed and stepped into the warm waters. She leaned against a tub wall and breathed a long, deep breath of air. Something within her flickered. She tried to remember, but didn't want to push.
~ ~ ~
Kohaku stared at Chihiro's emotionless face. Something twitched. He gasped. "Chihiro!" he cried. But she didn't move. Kohaku leaned forward, trembling. When no movement yielded, he leaned back.
Without wanting to, he cried. He leaned onto Chihiro and sobbed silently. "You don't know how much this is killing me." he whispered.
~ ~ ~
Ananda stood on a balcony overlooking the temple. A man came up to her. Without turning she said, "Aiden, what are you doing here?"
The man smiled. Aiden was very handsome, and looked no older than seventeen years. His teeth were nice and even. "So I hear you've got a new self to rejuvenate. A.Chihiro? Is it not?"
The oracle rolled her eyes. "Yes Aiden." Sometimes he could be very full of himself, but he was a really good confidant.most of the time.
He waited for an explanation. None came. He sighed exasperatedly. "Ananda, you know she'll draw Kaonashi here! And if he comes and messes things up, then Chihiro will never get to--" Aiden halted suddenly. They weren't supposed to mention that out loud. He knew Ananda knew he knew, and they never talked about it. And Aiden knew that even Ananda, oracle as she was, didn't know the full meaning of what would happen. To her. And Chihiro would have to get better in time for it. This was another screw in the works. 'But maybe Kaonashi will have a part to play,' he pondered thoughtfully, 'well.only time can tell. But not too much time.' He looked worriedly at Ananda. She still looked okay.
Ananda sighed. "Aiden, you know Kaonashi can't come here unless I let him or call him. Nothing could let him except me."
He nodded silently. She was right. Only the invited could come to Uoyera. "Well, I'm an exception," he said playfully.
She rolled her eyes.
"Well it's the truth!" Aiden grinned. He could come and go as he pleased, unless Ananda got too annoyed and blocked him or something. Boy, could she get angry.
A timid maid approached the pair. "My lady, it's time to get back to them."
Ananda nodded. "Thank you, Claidi. You are dismissed." She turned to Aiden. "The people.they need to see me. I guess a new batch came from the train. I should get going." She gave an apologetic smile.
Aiden nodded in understanding, his green eyes sparkling. "Ekat erac, Ananda."
"Dna uoy."
