Trip To Dawn Ch. 4

Chapter 4 | Real or Virtual?

" Sith? Master? Where are you?" what an unfamiliar voice, thought Sithis. Then a familiar sound came. " Sith? Where are you?" It was Maya, and whoever she was with, he thought he would meet her soon. " I... It's... Wha...? Wha-wha-what? You can talk?" Sith was stunned. "It's Jojo, and yes, she can talk." Sith was baffled. Completely and utterly baffled. " It's the power of Clavicus Vile.

It was in fact, a dimension. " It's not real. We are experiencing something that we can always go back to, but this is part of a challenge. If I am not mistaken, the phrase is, how do you say...? Ah yes - Ingenium." there was a feint rumble. Then it grew into an extremely loud roar. The sky started to dissolve, then the tops of skyscrapers all the way down to the ground. Something appeared. They had to run. Run to the centre, and get to that thing. It would be their safety, and they all knew it. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRUN!" said Jojo. They dashed to the centre, the floor dissolving beneath their feet every step they took. They reached the centre, and it all went black...
