Mai opened her eyes to a sight she didn't expect. The room she had been placed in was white and gold with beautiful furniture that shined like freshly fallen snow. She was laying in a bed of silver, silk sheets and beautiful golden arches. Her mind raced at the sight of such beautiful riches that surrounded her. Mai sat up to get a view of the walls. Not one of them had a window, nor a door. Mai pushed the blanket off of her and got out of the bed. How was she going to get out... wait she had to fight the person who ruled the the world between life and death, and she suspected it to it the young man, more or less boy, that owned this place she was trapped in. A noise on the other side of one of the walls echoed through the room. Mai stared at the wall as something started forming a shape. A hand pushed its way through the wall, soon an arm, then a shoulder. Finally a person stepped out of the wall. Mai knew him, it was the "ruler" of this place. He stepped closer to her.
"Hello Mai." Her eyes opened wide. "Yes, I know your name, where your from, and... why your here. You are an easy girl to read, you know, but you are also a very strong spiritualist. You out shine all spirituals I have ever come into contact with. And that is what has caught my eye about you." Mai starred at him, What are talking about? Mai questioned. "I know you have questions, but, your brother explained a lot, didn't he? Talking about how the only way to get back to your friends is to defeat me, right? And how if you don't win you will be sent to hell for eternity, right?" Mai opened her mouth to talk, but not a word came. "Hm, your brothers been here for a wile. Of course he was dead, he was one of the few that was actually dead in the world of the living." Mai's eyes questioned, but he knew what she was thinking. "In the world were your friends and your body exist, you are still considered alive, in a way. Your body is in a state of a coma. This is the place people wait for death of to go back to the ones who love them. Many people have come to me to go back sooner, but only a handful have excelled in that chance."
"Wait, but I, I went into a coma a bit ago, and I never remember coming here; I didn't come to a place like this. All I remember are dreams, dreams of..."
"Naru." Mai nodded. Her eyes widened and she looked at him. "I know everything that goes on in this world. You were in this world, a different part of this world. You were in a part that all necromancers or Mediums see. The place they call the world beyond the unknown or the world beyond the living. Of course there are those who see beyond this world, but those people don't live very long. For you people you expect that this world is the world you will go when you die, but the worlds beyond this, the ones you call heaven and Hell, are so much better. And if people knew what those worlds were like, the worlds population would go down, and the only people who would live on the earth would be the murders and losers who did crap to themselves and other because they would hate to go to Hell. But for the little mediums like you, they would be treated like royalty, so all of them would go out and kill themselves just to be able to have that treatment, but committing suicide makes you go to Hell. So the two beings that you know as God and the Devil sent me here to keep people from moving between the three world freely."
"Hm, I never really thought that the world, or after life was set that way. Interesting," Mai said rubbing her head ", I really didn't think that anything would be that way. I thought when people died that they just kinda, vanished I know I can speak with them, but I thought those here just spirits that couldn't except their deaths or had a grudge on someone when they died." He looked at her weird, but a bit a fear clouded his eyes
"I shouldn't have told you all this, I have to make sure you don't remember it, it would throw of the balance of the world if you told someone who didn't except it." He started freaking out, his arms twitching and his body shaking.
"Wait, I can't keep this knowledge?!" He shuck his head. "Then why did you tell me all this stuff? If you weren't supposed to say then why did you tell me so much information about the worlds?"
He shock his head. "I don't know, okay! It just felt normal talking to you, you felt like one of the g..." His word turned into a murmur as his eyes grew and his head rose to the point that his neck was completely strait. "Goddesses of power." Mai felt so confused. What on earth is he talking about, Mai Thought, Goddesses of Power? "Have you not heard of them, they are the strongest and most beautiful gods in the entire universe. I the battle of light, they concurred over everyone, but they decided to go on God's side and fight for what they wanted for the people. After the battle was over, God decided to send these people to the earth they had been trying to protect. Of course one of the goddesses didn't want to be sent, she wanted to be the ruler of the world they had protected, but God would not let such insolence be seen in a world of beauty so he sent her to Hell with the Devil and she has been stuck there ever sense. The other Goddesses were sent to earth as god promised, but no one except him knows who they have become. My most beloved angel, Emi, was sent down to earth, she promised to come back and be with me for the rest of eternity. I still wait for that day." He took a deep breath and continued. "I have spoken to much, and I am not going to let you be punished for my terrible mistake, so I must erase your memory of this entire account." Slowly he rose his hand.
"Wait," Mai yelled ", what about our battle so that I may return to earth?"
A smile spread across his face, "You remind me to much of my love, I will allow to return without a fight, but you have to promise to save your friends."
Mai nearly brock into tears. "Thank you, oh and the next time you see your beloved Emi, tell her that her name is more then a name, it has a meaning that rings to the ears. "Beautiful Blessing." His hand reached her head as he spoke the word, 'Thank you.' As his soft hand tuched her head a flash of light ran past Mai's vision and when she opened her eyes, she reconised the darkness of the room she was sitting in.
She sat up with a twist of the room. "Uh," she said rubbing her head ", What just happened, and why am I on the floor?"
