Chapter 8 – The Annexer
Eriol was frozen in his spot by an unknown force and he started to sweat knowing his approaching doom. He couldn't even turn around to look at the creature behind him. He could imagine its sharp teeth inside a large mouth that was salivating from looking at its next victim. He could see it's huge horns and big eyes. He thought it was going to be huge. He was again…wrong.
Whisp let out a squeal tried to get Eriol to run by tugging on his pants. But with no luck as Eriol was frozen. Eriol started to shiver as a cold wind blew past him. He imagined it was coming from the large nostrils of the beast that was ready to devour him.
Just then a small squeaky voice peeped up, "How dare you invade the most private of memories of thoughts. For such a heinous crime you shall be punished by me, the one the only Annexer."
Eriol turned around and let out a squeak of a laugh.
Whisp held in her breath.
Standing in front of him was a small…butterfly???
Eriol had the funniest look on his face…like disbelief crossed with amusement crossed with relief.
"Why you…you want me to release my full wrath upon you."
Eriol couldn't answer because he knew that if he did he would laugh. Normally he would at the sight of such a thing and wouldn't care how it felt, but he was still unsure of what this…insect could do. So he just stood there like a dope.
Whisp finally stood up for him, "We are very sorry, your most humble one, we truly didn't mean to invade the most private of memories of thoughts. It was all a mistake and we promise not to ever invade again nor speak of what we heard."
The Annexer replied, "You are braver than you look, cub, now I do believe you but first I must know why are you here?"
Eriol spoke up, "I am here to find Madison, you see she is in trouble."
"Yes I have noticed an evil presence, therefore I will let you go…this time. You have a warning, and since I am very intricately connected to the master I realize she wouldn't want any harm to come of you."
"Thank you…Thank you very much your most righteous one," butt kissed Whisp.
The Annexer froze and Whisp whimpered.
Eriol asked, "What's wrong."
Whisp whispered, "Something's coming."
The Annexer said, "Yes, it is a drone from the dark."
Eriol gasped, 'It knows were here.'
"Run go on, I will fight it off."
"But how?"
Eriol saw the answer to his question as soon as he said it. The butterfly was multiplying as incredible speeds. He couldn't even count how many. Whisp nipped his leg to get him moving and he started to run behind the leopard cub. He reached the door way and looked behind and saw that the butterfly's were creating a wind so powerful that it was blowing away what ever was coming. He also saw that little spikes were being carried in the wind.
Whisp pulled him through the door and it slammed shut behind him.
He was about to ask when Whisp said, "It is the deadliest poison."
"Oh."
"Come on, we must hurry I feel the dark growing."
He took a moment to look around and saw that he was in a desert and that on the sand dunes there were brightly colored doors.
He asked, "Which one."
"We must look, I have never heard of this place, it has changed I think. We must look for the door that says 'Void'."
"What?"
"I know it sounds strange but this place supposedly has doors that say the opposite to what is inside."
"Supposedly, that's so reassuring."
Whisp saw the sarcastic look on his face and laughed. Eriol said, "lets go."
Whisp took off in the lead and Eriol followed. They looked at every door they passed but as of yet hadn't found 'Void'. Eriol had once stopped in front of one of the doors and Whisp went up to him. Whisp had said, "You don't want to go in there as there would be another sentinel to protect that place, it is even more protected that the memories of thoughts." Eriol had nodded and walked away from the door that read 'realities'. (AN: because they think that the doors are opposite then what really would have been inside if Madison's fantasies.)
Finally Whisp came across the door that read 'Void'.
Eriol said, "So we're finally here."
Whisp nodded her head.
Eriol put his hand on the door handle and turned it. The door blasted open and they were being sucked in.
"What the…"
"Looks like I was wrong."
"WHAT!"
Eriol was terrified when suddenly he was grabbed onto by a hand. He took hold of Whisp's neck and someone pulled them both out. The door was closed and Eriol looked up to thank the stranger but his mouth couldn't form any words when he saw that a little girl was standing there.
Eriol stood up and so did Whisp.
"Hi," said the little girl. She had blue hair but with eyes that Eriol looked into everyday.
"Wh…who are you?"
"Oh I am Talia, I come from the…" she looked like she had said too much.
"It's okay you can tell us."
"Well you see I wasn't supposed to leave, actually I couldn't till a little while ago. This is all very strange, you see I am from…from…Mummy's fantasies."
"Madison's fantasies?"
"Yes…daddy."
Eriol looked thunderstruck.
Whisp was about to say something when Talia said, "I have to go back now or I will be in big trouble by the gate keeper."
Eriol nodded and Whisp said, "Have you felt or seen any thing strange?"
"There is a pain right here since just before the door was opened," Talia pointed to her heart, "and…um…um a boy I know disappeared."
Whisp nodded and said, "Go now."
Talia nodded and ran back to the door marked 'fantasies'.
Eriol asked, "What is going on?"
"Madison's fantasies are dying which means that her soul is being slowly destroyed."
"But um…Madison has had fantasies about her and I having children," Eriol said at super speed.
Whisp nodded and went on, "Lets go, now that I know the truth we must go through the door marked 'All'"
"Did you just say that Madison's soul is dying?"
Whisp nodded and Eriol started to run. He ran passed several doors before he finally found the one that read, 'All'. Whisp caught up and he opened the door. They looked inside and saw multicolored bubbles floating around a white background.
The two walked in and the door shut behind them. Eriol was about to tough one of the bubbles when Whisp yelled, "No."
Eriol jumped back and said, "Why?"
"Cause you will destroy a part of Madison."
Eriol didn't go near a bubble again as they made their way though the 'all'.
They finally reached a door and Eriol was about to open it when Whisp said, "Wait."
Numbers appeared on the door and he saw that other doors were forming around him. They all had a different number on them.
"So which one do we take?" asked Eriol.
"How should I know?"
"Well you are apart of Madison."
"I am but a servant."
"Oh great!"
Just then a voice boomed, "Only one door is True, others contain horrors that await you."
Eriol said, "So what is the clue?"
The voice said, "One is one and two is two yet the door you seek is not a door."
"Why does this place always have riddles?"
"So we're just looking for a door that is not a door, or a number that is not a number."
"Just great, this has to be hard."
"Well we are getting close to Madison now."
Eriol and Whisp each went up to different doors and tried to find out if the doors were fake or if the numbers were.
After inspecting every door they took a rest as neither of them had found anything.
Eriol couldn't stand the resting so he jumped up…and tripped over.
Whisp looked at him and he said, "How?"
Whisp looked down and said, "A door handle."
Eriol scrambled over to it and he tried to open it. But he found it was locked.
"Why wont this stupid door open?"
Eriol tried kicking the knob but with no luck.
Whisp suddenly said, "Cause it isn't a door."
Eriol froze and said, "How do we open something that looks like a door but isn't a door?"
The voice boomed, "When up is down and down is up, left is right and right is left."
That's all the voice said and Eriol demanded, "Is there any more?"
No voice returned.
Eriol sighed and said, "What does it mean?"
He laid down and looked up at the ceiling and saw a door…the door he was lying on.
"The roof is a mirror."
Whisp looked up and said, "Or is the floor a mirror?"
Eriol couldn't work this one out, as even though the two doors reflected each other, the mirrors didn't reflect them.
Just then the walls started to close in. Eriol yelled, "The walls are moving in."
Whisp said, "Oh no…we had better hurry."
Eriol tried to reach up to see if he could reach the roof but as he thought he couldn't.
He looked at the roof then the floor, roof, floor, roof, floor.
'Hey L is missing out of roof, and it left is right, hmmm…the only letter in right that starts a number is…T and the first number starting with T is Two…is it right? Well left and right are pairs, as is top and bottom, pairs, Two. I have to be right.'
"Hey Whisp, number Two is the right door."
Whisp said, "Okay I'll try anything."
The two walked through the door that was coming towards them and found themselves standing next to an hourglass.
"Could we be wrong?"
Eriol replied, "I don't know, I mean I thought I was right, but we could be destined for this horror."
"No you were right though not for the logic in your head, but because the numbers represented the number of people that could walk through them. Two beings entered the door marked number two and you both get to live," a female voice said.
"Great."
"Who are you?" asked Whisp.
"I am time…well the time that exists in Madison's mind."
"Oh."
"I will transport you to the one you call Madison. This is my gift."
"Your gift?"
"Yes to you Eriol for all the happy times that you gave Madison, and because I want you to save her."
Eriol didn't argue, he just nodded and smiled.
'I am finally going to Madison, it has been a long time since I have seen her, I hope she hangs on till I get there…I promise I will save you Madison.'
Eriol felt a moving sensation and saw Whisp next to him. They were flying to a point where there was both light and darkness. Eriol couldn't explain it any better than that.
He reached the spot then blacked out.
ALYSSA: IS ERIOL DEAD??? No I doubt it, as I could never kill him. Or could I? Ruby remember what I told you, but was I lying? Mhuhahahah.
See the next installment of The Eye of Truth to see what is happening in the real world. Will I kill of Layla? Read to find out. Ps Sorry it took so long and sorry that I am going to write about the outside world rather that Eriol and Whisp.
