Chapter 5 - Reflection Room

Chapter 5

Imagine yourself to be immersed in light. Everything is white, it blinded you. There is no sense of time or space. Only you alone, balancing your mind and keeping your existence intact; focusing deep into yourself, searching, confirming memories and knowledge. At times there will be voices asking and probing your memories. There will be fake memories, endless nightmare and dreams; it is to be in another reality that keeps on changing. Most of people will go insane within a day, most of the disciples will need to be revived and reprogrammed. Maria and Leyla have been in and out of the Reflection Room since they were 13, average of 24 times per year and never once they had to be revived nor reprogrammed even though they had the Analyzer and Healers to think otherwise. The fake information and memories kept them alive and far from the High Priest reach. At coming of the age of 21, it’s a walk in a park for them, a relaxation break.

Maria… Can you please stop playing around and connect with me, please

The view around her changed. Before, she was walking in a wood fill with roses, the sweet smell nauseated her as she feels the thorns tighten around her ankle that nearly dropped her onto the ground, when suddenly, she fell forward onto a table instead. She looked around and there was Maria, giggling in front of her at a café named Starbucks. She is dressed in plain white tube with high-waist black pants, making her petite, 5 ft figure looked taller. On the head of the chair, she hung her black coat.

Leyla!!! I miss you…it has been what?? Oh, 72 hours since I have spoken to you

Frowning at her, she grabbed Maria’s hair and said

It has been precisely, 77 hours and 25 seconds since you switch off your mind and let me take over you during James Idiot’s class

Laughing and grabbing Lelya’s hand, Maria said

Oww…oww…sorry…Bwahahaha!!! You finally snapped!!! It’s really entertaining to watch at the sidelines when you fried him…you really are a sadist, Leyla. Poor bastard get what he deserved though…

To the outsiders, they looked like two executives teasing each other during coffee break. Crossing her leg, Leyla adjusted her grey knee length skirt and said

Why I’m in a grey turtleneck when it is hot like hell? Well, I won’t lie to you, hell, I can’t lie to you…it gave me satisfaction to watch him fell into the abyss, he’s been a sadistic perverted marionette-err since we first came…do you remember he tried to subdue you by making you believe I’m your enemy?

Smiling in her earnest, Maria replied

It accentuates your high cheekbone and long neck. That’s really fond memories you recalling. I really missed the times when you tried to kill me.

Closing her eyes, Leyla changed her attire to jeans and white shirt with black leather jacket.

I will never trust you with my wardrobe…Yeah…we fought for 3 long years….been in and out the lovely Reflection Room too many times, I have lost count,, well, he served his purpose, we finally have access to the High Pacifier of IPRT, Khalifah General of the ever-lasting Royal-Subjugators Sir Ahmed Maxillas Azrael Lajaad, second in command in Lajadeen Familia, a man who has gone through the Hajjra. Do you think we can subdue him?

Drinking the hazelnut latte in the large cup, she stares at Leyla and said

You should be more ladylike, Lady Leyla. You looked drop dead gorgeous just now, I ordered you vanilla latte…That’s not what I’m intending to do…I’m planning to tell him that we killed James

Leyla sipped her vanilla latte slowly and muttered

Thanks. The attire is impractical…wait a sec here…WHATTT???? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKIN MIND????

I know you are not near normal and crazier than insane put together but why in the name on Orsia you want to blow our cover?

I found it. Hey, it actually hurts my heart when you say it like that…what’s wrong with my taste?

Incredulously Leyla said

Yeah…you found ‘it’…Whatever ‘it’ supposed to mean….no, I won’t change it, Maria, it’s impractical and it’s freakin hot, don’t do the pleading puppy’s eye on me, it won’t work

Suddenly there’s an image flashed in her mind

WHAT???

You are not kiddin me? You finally found IT??

Smiling with triumph, she looked at Maria and holds her hands, transmitting data from the memories she manages to steal

Yes, my dear beloved Leyla, I found IT actually more to THEM than IT… hmmm… I will fill you in later

Raising her eyebrow, Maria looked into Leyla’s eyes and said

You are bored with Yureka already, huh?

Avoiding her gaze, Leyla took her hands away and reluctantly admits

Errrr…yes, it sounded difficult when I heard of it but it took me less than a day to complete it

A day?

Ok, it took me a hell lot less than a day to complete it

Less than a day, huh?

FINE...it took me precisely 10 minutes to crack the whole thing and rebuild it into another version. I have already uploaded it into the Archive

Laughing and shaking her head, Maria said in disbelief

That’s my Leyla. You are actually crazier than me but pretended otherwise, a closet lunatic. Now, that’s more formidable but must you act when there’s only us?

Smiling, Leyla bow her head and apologize

When they said habit dies hard, they lied. Apparently habit will never die. Apologies, love.

Freely given and taken, love.

Yureka is a virus in form of memory of the previous lost world where it wanders in the Archive, scanning and searching the remnants of the past, where it will attached itself and gradually change and mutilate the memories until it broke apart, usually used by the military dolls to withdraw information from the Resistance.

The world that Maria and Leyla are having their conversation in is build by Maria’s mind using data from Yureka. The year is 2010, in a place called Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre; the Ground Zero, the origin of disaster that struck the world, turning the world into what it is now. Kamui or can be read as Destruction and Rebirth at the same time is summoned here. The people that are walking around didn’t realize that they are dead. They are actually the battery source of the Archive, playing the role that Archive programmed into them and be recycled back as Continuous Energy when the programs end. In the reflection room, Leyla and Maria can enter the Archive freely without being observed and from there, they learn how to fight.

Are you with me? Maria said softly

Holding her hands, Leyla replied

Let’s find Maya and destroy the world

When Maria opens her eyes, a healer is in front of her massaging her heart. She opens her mouth and breath the sterile air of the operating room

The healer stopped the massage and injects her with sleeping fluids where she doze of into slumber

Inform Analyzer Keith, both disciples have successfully revived. They will be ready by tomorrow for the High Pacifier said the healer and with that said, the healer transport the patient into the Waiting Room

Chapter 4 - Extractor

Chapter 4

Control System is deemed effective when disturbance variables are introduced and contained within set parameters. In order to achieve further or any stability, disturbances have to be injected in the system. Pacifiers are created to be the system and disturbances elements for control purposes

– 2nd Understanding

The room is circular where there’s an orbit of circulating light particles forming a contained hurricane in a sphere at the heart of the room. Lying beneath the orb is a man suspended in the air by ropes of glass wires connected to the sphere. The memory transfer cables are made for extracting raw data from the brain where the breaking down and constructing memories and analysis is done rapidly in the Nodal Archive where the life of the man will be transferred to the Main Archive and displayed on a screen at the respective Analyzer room overlooking the Treatment room at a floor above.

This has been the most bizarre case in his short 7 years in the Academy. The breaking down of memory and personality was going smoothly until the disturbance variable of fear is injected in the inner memory caused the Archive to be over excited and they have to reboot the system due to the danger of the patient to be lost in the mind abyss which leads to lunacy or brain vegetable i.e. mind chaos. By rebooting, the patient will lose some of his entities that make up his personality and affecting his ability as a Pacifier. Sighing, the Analyzer thought that they have to retest and evaluate the patient Standing, hence there goes his long awaiting break. In addition to accentuate his bad providence is the worst guy to be in the same room is the High Pacifier of Intelligence and Psyche Remedial Technology. You don’t fool around with a High Pacifier especially the ones with a General red diamond tattoo on the brow. One fucked up he will be sent to the Front to battle with the Revenants Chimera, remnants from the past failed experiments and dumped at the edge of the Continent. The stories of them being undead and will feast on you alive are enough to make him multiple his efforts on ass-kissing art. Towering all of them at 8 feet tall, bald and black with muscles that can crush granites hiddden underneath the black and gold trimmed High Pacifier robe on top of Royal Subjugators General Uniform in black and red, the room is filled with tension as they can feel themselves being probe and appraise constantly by the High Priest mind, the total black of his eyes with a hint of gold in the middle signifies that he has gone through the Mind Space Hajjra and in return gained the Total Psyche Manipulator Control where not only he has the power to enter and extract your mind at will, he also has the power to change the data in the memory bank in the brain molding and transforming any person with whichever persona he chose to. To survive the Hajjra, something will be taken from you. The price of the great power that he obtained from the Hajjra is his Voice. It’s very unnerving when you are being spoken to directly in your head

What’s his status?
Dull headache always accompany psyche conversation, it takes concentration not to wince every time he’s been spoken to

He is trapped in a mind cycle of fear, Sir. Recovery percentage, zero percent
The mind barrier that he built felt fragile the longer the time the conversation last.

Have you gone through his mind records?
Reminding himself to answer out loud he responded to the question

Yes, I have. Professor James Elliot Morrison is a Pacifier Exploit-a, Third Tier, Specialized in 3rd degree manipulation and 3rd degree influence type of control hitherto, his defense value is supposed to impenetrable in this Academy with exceptions of Captain level 2nd Tier and above, of course. For him to be done in by a pair of 3rd tier, fourth year disciple is impossible. We are sending Extractors to penetrate his deep end mind hence we need your authorization, Sir.

The sense of being stripped naked accompanies him as the High Priest downloads the analysis memories from his mind, reviewing the 35 years of the patient life in mere seconds.

Deep end…huh… since it came to this, at least he can make himself useful and contribute to our research. You have my authorization in using Diamond Exergy Extraction

Carbon being the elements that make up life is the hardest material in its crystal configuration and can hold maximum 1 MMEX (a billion) exergy unit i.e. Energy (E) = Exergy (EX) + Exergy Destruction (EXD) hence Exergy is Pure Useful Energy with 100% conversion factor. Ten unit of exergy can power up a City. The Diamond Exergy usually is used in the Mind Space Hajjra, Navigating Space Travel, Terra-forming Process and other Major Psyche Applications. To use DEE on a person is to disintegrate that person into mere energy data hence to transform his being into soul mode where more observation on soul power can be done. After experiments and disturbances variables have been conducted on the soul, it then can be transferred to the Container where more Practical Application such as the power source of the Archive or to be transferred into one of the Academy Dolls for Military and Government purposes.

That will kill him, Sir. Should we notify the Council?

I have secured written consent from Morrison Familia and the Council is already aware the state of this affairs. You may proceed, send the records to me immediately through Archive, I will download from there.

Yes, Sir. What about the disciples? They are currently being detained at the Reflection Rooms. So far, there is no indication of guilt and the memories probes came out clean

Release them and tell them to report to me tomorrow at seven hundred hours

Having received the confirmation, the 6 extractors encircled the patient forming a Psyche Reflecting barrier in order to protect them from fear that always accompanies Death. Minimum six Extractors are needed to contain and control the Diamond Exergy forming a six pointed star that glows in red. The sphere that contains the light particle swirling more rapidly and glowing like a sun engulfing the man below. Behind the barrier a faint sound of screams seems to last forever when finally the red glow fade and the sphere swirl softly. The thud of the body when it fell down into the floor startled the Analyzer from his trance, immediately; he opens the drain-hole and let the body drop unceremoniously into the abyss underground. After the Extraction is completed, swiftly the High Priest turn and walked briskly to the Tube where he places his fingers on the panel and gone.

Chapter 3 - The Academy

Chapter 3

There’s beauty in patterns. To know that there is a logical course of things that are random is a relief to the mind. There will always be instability to make a system stable. The life itself is a paradox, understanding is never enough. Ones have to integrate themselves in life and let it flow, and then control will come as easily as breathing. The same applies in transferring, transforming of data into knowledge
- The First Understanding

For Maria, routine is something that she enjoys. It started off by getting up with the same dream, having breakfast alone in her study room instead of the dining hall, since most of the time, the ever busy Senor Professor Harith Osiris and Senora Professor Jasmine L’isa is always out; either to gave out lectures or some tacit military excursions, well, it didn’t bother her that much anymore since that’s how family is from her understanding. Laissez-faire policy is their lifestyle. Today breakfast is scramble cheese egg with bacon served with jarrah coffee. She sighed with pleasure as she savors the soft scramble eggs with a hint of cheese spread on top of crunchy white toast bit by bit. The smell of coffee as it courses down her throat, the sweet creamy texture of the liquid with a hint taste of chocolate burst in her tongue with flavors, never failed to make her all merry and satisfied to start off the day, even knowing that she has to attend the most horrendous class conducted by the biggest ignoramus in the known world. Yeah~ things are normal

The walk to the campus is another routine that she enjoys tremendously. Taking a shortcut through the garden towards a small hilltop, she's walking and singing to herself softly while listening to the running water, accompany by fresh smell of roses and damp earth drifting by brought by the wind. The breathtaking view when she arrived at the hilltop, where the Academy came into full view, never cease to amaze her. Where can one find a place that is beautiful and terrible at the same time? That one place is what we call School, or for her the Academy of Advanced Dominators where the motto is veni, vedi, veci; I saw, I came and I conquer and the first doctrine is cogito ergo sum; I think, therefore, I am crafted on the double pendulum that formed an arch as tall as a mountain that signifies the entrance to the Academy. It always amuses her when she approaches the entrance since it always look like the God of Death scythe. Anubis Academy is a secret name she shared with her best friend, Leyla among her other secrets. You are my backup system, that’s what she always tells her. You can only see the tall archway of the pendulum that signifies the existence of the Academy. No one knows how big the Academy is, since the cubic classes made from white marble always rearrange themselves in complex pattern to confuse and trap outsiders. The barrier that signifies the boundary of the Academy engulfing the whole hill, from afar you can only see the glimmering whites between the greens where the sun reflected the white marble of the cubes in between the trees.
I’m early, hmmm…that didn’t happen often, it’s that bloody dream. Maria talks to herself as she passed through the Gate and let herself to be scanned and questioned by the Guardian. She is bathed in the light from the Gate and she let her mind calm as she felt the probing of the Guardian inside of her memory.

Welcome, daughter of Osiris and L’isa. May your journey to be Khalifah will bear fruit for the good of our kind said the voice of the Guardian inside of her head
I’ll be the seed, may Arasis give me time to grow, she replied almost mechanically.

The pendulum moves and she walks through the entrance into a white perfect cubic made from marble that has only one entrance as tall as her. Inside, there are several cylindrical tubes with different crystal configuration giving colours to the white empty interior. From there, she walks into the cylindrical tube made of clear quartz aka the Tube. She put her palm onto its wall, sending her coordinate into the system and will it to move. Almost instantly, she arrived in a circular hall, where the seats designate by smaller diameter rings segmented section making the hall seems to be plunge into the ground. The status of each Dominators and the Subjects, is signifies by the nearer they are to the centre of the ring, the more Advanced their skills, the nearer they are to the Professor.
Maria came down the stairs and sat at the third row from the front, where there are six of her fellow comrades of the same status. Leyla as always is the first one to arrive.

Good morning, Maria. Leyla said in surprised. You are early today.
You look sleepy as always. Is it the same dream?

Morning, Leyla~~
Trying to suppress her yawn, she hugs the table and laid her head on the table made from clear quartz, the cold surface is a relief to her skin.
Yeah…same dream, different day
It’s getting more vivid this year, I wonder why…

Have you talked to your doctor about it?
Leyla looked at Maria closely while she brought her notebook out and set it onto the table.

Ya, right… He will prescribed me more sleeping pills and babbling more nonsense about post traumatic disorder like I haven’t gone through all of those shits enough to last me a lifetime. No more doctors, no more sleeping pills and lectures please, I’m not going to kill myself or be depressed…it’s been 10 years, I’ve gotten over it and it’s only silly same repeating dreams…don’t look at me like that, Leyla. I am fine, really…

Smirking and changing her tone, Maria hugs her best friend, Leyla from behind
Anyway, next week is my birthday! My sweet, gorgeous, beautiful, most esteemed best friend, there’s a book by the infamous notorious Axe Orsia that I’ve been eyeing and I will be really ecstatic, and will roll all over your ground, if I can get that as my birthday present. Don’t roll your eyes, I’m hinting pretty seriously, here.

Taking her eyes off from the notebook, Leyla stares into the deep brown eyes of her friend and frowned
If you can demand like that, I assume you are sane and discipline enough to get through the lectures without sleeping. Then, if you can score the highest in the test today, I will steal the bloody book just for the sake of shutting you up

Letting go of her friend, Maria shakes her head, making the curls of her long black hair dances as she laughs heartily
I really love you when you sounded like my mom and the way you roll your eyes at everything I said is annoyingly cute. Thanks, love!!

Leyla matches her best friend grin and continue to study the content of her notebook as the data flows in and out from the soft crystal screen where she touches and rearrange them into logical order and structuring her memory and knowledge into a language that only she can understand, automatically. Her fingers dance like a piano mestre, faster and faster as she building up her mind defense prior to James’s class.
You know bloody well that your mom didn’t sound like that. Lots of people including me would be willing to murder you just to have parents like yours. Now, don’t smirk at me and do take notes, please. Maria, can you for once build your defense system, even though you don’t need it? Prof. James dislikes giggling idiots and abhors anyone who is smarter than him. Just pretend to be obedient little student and don’t provoke him today, Maria. We need to score a kill in his test today or we literally fucked up, do you understand?

Yes, ma’am…done that already…please take note for me, gonna power nap.

Maria felt a gush of affection towards the petite redhead with her prominent green eyes set in an oval shaped face where her short hair making her boyish looks, look younger than she really is. Her companion since as far as she could remembered, sitting besides her as always. Even though she loves to nag ehemmm lectures her 24/7; she knows she can show her back to her without the fear of being stabbed. If Leyla ever betrayed her, she knows it is because of a strong valid reason and Maria found herself not minded to be done in by the only person whom she is supposed to hate. The crescent black tattoo in between Leyla's eyebrows signifies the status of her family as the Royal Priest. The reason Pacifier is a strong entity is because of the bond formed between the partners.

Maria!

Yes, yes… little obedient cute student. But, he always babbling nonsense, I can’t help it but to disagree. Quote from the Great Prof. James “Dynamic mechanism of transferring data from one person to the other will only work when there’s absolute complete dominant and absolute complete submission of both parties” what utter nonsense! Just play S&M with his idiotic fans who’s complacently let him subdued them. Na ah! Not for me, complete acceptance and harmony is the way to optimize data transfer, energy flows in the circle not one direction, like the bullshits he has been showing offs, in addition, to get data by killing its subject is for those war maniacs, it’s totally behind time! We had enough of the war; it is time for these maniacs to be locked up for good. May Anubis drag all of them to hell!!

Maria, can you please be more careful? You do realized that both of our parents work with the military and our Government is martial based and the war can only be stopped by total annihilation of either parties since both of Them are selfish idiots whom never learned from past mistakes? The only thing that prevented us from destroying each other is because the existence the holy mighty Pacifier. Three-point-system is not a stable system at all. It will collapse if the Pacifier is compromised. That is why we are here, sent by our so-called patriotic parents who sent their children to become hostages of the Pacifier to ensure the continuity of the system. Since I do not want us to become enemies in the future, I will become one of the mighty Pacifiers even if it kills me…hence, I need to listen to James idiotic babbling nonsense and pretend to agree and completely absorb in his lectures to get the bloody pass. You can preach and revolutionize the mind when we are out from this hellhole, hitherto, please, be a good obedient student and LISTEN!!


Humph!! Fine, alright, ok I’m gonna preach and revolutionize you during lunchtime. Gonna power nap, you know I’m not a morning person so, kindly please connect with me and take over the lectures. Thank you! Over and out! xoxo

Damn it, Maria! Do not switch off your fucking mind in class, you blockhead and sat besides me!! I’m gonna fucking ask you to get me Yureka, Maria! Shit, it is not easy to connect both minds and pretend at the bloody James class! Maria!

The renowned Professor James Idiot err Elliot Morrison is the third year instructor of Dynamic Transfer. Since the Great Rebirth, the untapped potential of human mind suddenly floods out. This happen since we were affected by the reversal of the magnetic field of the earth caused by the fallen meteor, Kamui. Kamui has wiped out almost ¾ of human population and Earth since then, has been enveloped by sea, and only one continent of landmass, Gaiea left and being fought by 2 types of human, the Subjugators and Overseers . The war lasted for 50 long years when the first Pacifier, finally ended the war by introducing the cycle system and forced the merging of Subjugators and Overseers and transform their relation to Dominator-Subject relationship where the combination is powerful enough to brought down both empires and bend them to their control. Since then, the seeds will be given to the Pacifier from both Government to be groomed to be the next Pacifiers to ensure the continuity and survival of humankind.10 years has passed since then, even though the Governments remained martial, besides keeping peace between the Governments and eliminate any source of any disturbances to the Peace, Pacifiers nowadays are more focus on restoration planning and optimization usage of the mind for space travel and terra-forming another planet for occupying the ever growing of populations. But, being different always a cause of disputes and sadly, prejudices always prevail even in peaceful time. One of the human traits is to be inhuman towards each other, the destructive instinct, zeroth doctrine. That is why Khalifah is needed to guide the human to the right path of restoration. The Academy is built to produce Pacifiers and Khalifahs but even in the best intention, superiority and arrogance can take root and grow to produce twisted fruits.

3 hours passed slowly, Professor James Elliot (Idiot) Morrison class of Dynamic Transfer is as ridiculous as ever. For Leyla, it is a slow strangulation. I better pray to keep my mind sane; Dear Osiris, please don’t let James ask me to demonstrate anything, please don’t let him noticed that Maria is letting me taking over her in his class, please let him be merciful and give us a pass, please don’t let him questions us. Please give him a better mind and cure his idiotic face.

After 2 more hours passed, Leyla prayers turn to; Dear Anubis, please completely fucking erased him from this fucked up world and takes his life while he suffers, I’m gonna personally kill your beloved child, Maria for letting me going through all of these bullshits alone, while she’s completely slumber in your bosom…unless, she brings back Yureka.

Professor James stoic built turn towards Leyla and Maria where he stares at a pair of most troublesome students he ever had in the history of his teachings. Something is amiss here, he thought while scratching his bald white head. Taking off his black rimmed glass, he scrutinized the dazed eyes of Maria, feeling her mind and got blocked. Cursing for being unable to read both of them, he puts on his spectacle and smile. His straight too even white teeth and dimpled smile never failed to charm anyone exceptions of these two and that infuriate him because he knows that he do not have any control or power over the two of them even though they pretended otherwise and that infuriates him even more…you can’t deceive me, whores…There are people who are immune to his control charm but not too many of them exist and he found their existence is a rejection to his being and he absolutely abhors them. Since he can’t touch them while they are in the Academy, he waited patiently for the time when he can destroy them. War has teaches him patient and he will bid his time and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

Lady Leyla, would you please come to the front and demonstrate on how these crystallized exergy will amplified a simple data transfer to fold the outer memories when it is used correctly. And Lady Maria, would you kindly please assist Lady Leyla and be her subject?

Looking straight into the grey of eyes of that ignoramus chill her to the bone. He’s trying to enter our mind again, fucking pervert and he wants to kill us. Reading his mind is a child play; we ought to step delicately with this man. If he makes a move and touch any of us, I’m gonna fry his brain regardless of consequences…besides, I have downloaded most of the useful data from his mind to use it against him.

Lady Leyla, Lady Maria, if you can’t even perform this simple task, I’m afraid I have to kick you out from this class and fail you. You do understand the severerity of declining a direct order? Do not disappoint me, as the third tier this should be an easy task for you unless…you are incapable to demonstrate because of reasons that I am unaware of??

Fucking bastard… He knows that I hate to be dominators and Maria abhors being a subject and both of us completely against his dominators-subject relationship. My cover for Maria is perfect but I don’t know whether I can handle Maria’s mind. Maria, wake up! The Ignoramus is barking at us, are you expecting me to handle everything on my own? Maria?? She tried to connect to Maria’s mind but she found only void.

Slowly, both of them went down to the podium. I need to buy time…

Professor, can you let me and Maria, scan and scale the environment and set up protective barrier in the class before we begin?

With a sarcastic smile plastered on his face, he looked at them and said

In practicality, do you announce to your enemy that you going to attack? If your classmate doesn’t know how to protect themselves then they are not fit to be in my class. But, since all of your softheads’ parents will not like their kids to become vegetables, I permit you to scan and cast the Hydra Barrier.

I’m gonna make you blind and vulnerable, my two lovely whores and tore your minds to pieces….the crystal is actually a third degree purified exergy diamond, unless you are a commander level and above, your mind will disintegrate when you started the download due to the excessive energy it produces and Hydra Barrier will amplify the effects. Due to the histories of these two whores always breaking the limitations, there is no way it can be traced back to me. Accidents happen, anyway. Licking his lips he waited with anticipation while Leyla and Maria scanning and casting Hydra Barrier.

While raising his arms, a student from fifth tier spoke,
Professor James, Sir? A hydra barrier? Isn’t that too advance, for our class? It might overburden the mental capacity and tore your mind to pieces and turn the castors and receivers into walking dead. Not to mentioned, the after effect will affect everyone here and turn us into veggies if the hydra barrier failed. Are you sure it is safe?

Eric, if you paid any attention to my class, with the tiny brain of yours, comprehend and take note that the purpose of the crystallized exergy is for you weak heads to pull that kind of stunts. And, if you think Hydra barrier is advanced, you should change your class to commoners’ Khalifah application instead. Since there is an advanced Commoner in this class, which is our Lady Maria here, please observe on how a mere Commoner can join this Holy Communion of Advanced Dominators.

Separating her mind into several entities, she programmed them as quickly and precisely as she could to set up the Hydra while sending SOS messages to Maria.
Something is wrong here… there’s a heavy flow came out from the crystallized exergy, I better check it out. When her subconscious touches the exergy, there’s a heavy friction destroying a part of her programmed entities. Fuck it!!! It’s diamond!! He’s trying to kill us again, how many times we have gone beyond limitations and get locked up because of his never ending attempts to destroy us!! And this time, if he succeeded, the Academy will believe that it is our habit of always wanting to experiment our limit is the cause of our deaths even the truth is, thanks to this narcissistic idiot, we always have to be prepared to be killed every time in his classes since Day 1.

Hmmm…his attacks lack of creativity as always, huh… said Maria to her subconscious

Maria!!! If I’m killed I’m going to personally haunts you until you die, suffering all the way.

You panic too quickly, love. Relax, fear is the mind killer… calm your mind, you can see the path, we have been through this too many times already; even without me you can handle it easily. Oh, BTW, I have Yureka, so, if you want it, consider this a challenge to the mighty Leyla. Don’t die, love. Handle me with care. XOXO

MARIA!!! Don’t you fuckin dare leave me alone to handle this shit by myself!!! Maria?

Leyla searched for Maria in her subconscious furiously but to no avail. Sighing, due more to anger and frustration she manages to calm her mind and began the rapid destruction and construction of the Hydra and her entities to suit the energy level of the Diamond. I ought to teach this Idiot a lesson, never messed with someone who is stronger than him. Furiously she constructed a program to instill fear. Fear is the mind killer, the second doctrine. I’m going to kill your mind James. The moment that you tried to enter our minds is the last thing that you will ever do.

Chapter 2 - William

Chapter 2 - William

The dampness of the ground woke him up. The smell of bacon being cooked mix with the rotten rot of earth nauseated him. Slowly he opens his eyes and what he saw roused in him fear beyond madness. I will die in this rotting hole and no one will be able to tell her the truth…

Oh, you have woken up, did you sleep well? The devil smiled while asking him politely whether he would like an egg to go with his bacon.

The face that peered down looking at him is leering with madness.
Hmmm?? I can’t hear you very well, this is your last meal, are you sure you don’t want to eat em? Oh, you mean, I can have it all? Well, thank you very much!! Killing is truly exhausting; especially when they scream…that’s the reason I gag you up.

While munching, he jumped down into the hole while holding the plate full with beacon and egg.
Hmmm?? You want me to take it off? Can you promise not to scream, please? It’s truly annoying to hear a grown man screaming, it’s a melody if it came from the lovely ladies you shared your room with. Here you go, don’t scream, ok, or I’ll cut your tongue off and give you a smile from ear to ear and get it over and done with.
With one painful rip, the devil tore’s the tape that binds his mouth; gagging and coughing, he spits at the devil face

I won’t betray her!!I will die laughing my ass off, not screaming like the little bitches you played with!!!

There’s a flash of anger on his face then turn to amusement, as the face broke into a wide smile and laugh
The devil’s laughter shaken his very bones and what little courage that he possessed

Setting the plate aside, the devil spoke to him with his deep baritone voice full with amusement
You assume that I’m going to kill you which are the obvious conclusion ones would come to given the circumstances. Fear not, it is not your death that I want but your knowledge is your leverage, use it well.

I’m not going to betray her! Kill me and get it over and done with!!

Why are you in such a hurry to die? I can torture you slowly, play with your mind, giving you hopes and crush it again and again like good old days. Remember, you plead to me over and over to make her happy? Isn’t death free us all? Isn’t that the ultimate happiness?

Shaking more because of anger and frustration, he looked into the eyes that is looking at him with amusement of his pain
Do not talk like a madman. I know you are just pretending to be mad; your grief is tearing your mind! You are truly a pitiful man, you seek happiness to fill the hole in your heart but you refuse to face reality! You never want to change. Changes frighten you! Yes, you are a coward, brother!! She is her daughter! Do you want to destroy the only child of the women that you ever loved?

The madness in his eyes replaced by wrath and grief, his amused face is replaced by anger
NO! EVEN IF SHE IS HER DAUGHTER, SHE BETRAYED ME!! Any child from that man’s loins shouldn’t exist! I will wipeout his roots until nothing is left!!NOTHING, YOU HEAR!! It’s either you are with me or not. She betrayed you too, Will…

Shaking his head, he pleads with his eyes to the only family that he ever loved and trust…when did everything gone wrong, why didn’t I realized it sooner…regrets are the only emotion that is left and haunts him since that day
I will never betray her, even if you have become the devil, I will believe in her, she truly loves us and I know you know it too…stop torturing yourself, Liam. Killing these innocent girls won’t bring the past back nor it will heals you. If my knowledge is the sacrifice needed to bring the old you back, I’ll give it to you, brother. Release me from my bond.



He touches his brother mind and knew that he agreed to submit to him. Finally!! Finally, I will be complete; I will have my revenge…hatred and anger are the ones that fuels him that make him able to live and move on ever since that day

Here, I thought it will take time to break you. I’ve never seen how the transfer been done. You are the only person in the world that I trust, do not betray me, Will.

Since, when did we close our heart for you not to understand what I feel, brother, we used to know everything about each other. Smiling sadly, he holds his brother’s hand, it’s time for me to let go…Orsia, give me courage to pull this through
I will be with you all the way until you are ready. Do you know that twins are taboo between our clan? It is said that in the womb, the stronger fetus will absorb the life of the weaker one. It is a tradition for the family to give half a name for the twins, because when one of the twins dies, the other will become a full person. None of the family suspected us because both of us have been strong, but I always know that I will become one with you, Liam.

Information and data start pouring into his mind. Spiral of emotions and memories flashes through his mind, there’s a presence that keep his mind sane and the process is too rapid to be digested if not because of the barrier that Will erected in his mind…he’s helping me..Why? What is this?
What nonsense is this, Will? I’ve never heard of this!! You are the eldest! I have always envied you!

When you have become William, you will know the truth. It will hit you hard. Harder than losing her, I gave you my life to change the devil inside you. Be strong, little brother, good bye.

With all his strength he dug his fingers into his chest, commanding his heart to stop. He felt the life draining from his body, going into his brother who is still holding his hand.

Waves of date and memories going through his mind rapidly as he felt his brother dying

Wait, Will!! No, this is not what I intended!!

The last memories shocked him, the pain, coursed through his body circulated in his memory bank, rearranging data, filling in the voids and correcting the information, I am wrong, Anubis don’t take him, I am wrong, please stop, brother…he didn’t realized the tears and his voice screaming, asking his brother to stop
With his strength, he is trying hard to pull Will’s fingers from his chest but to no avail. Light blinded him and he fell down, unconscious trying to reach his already gone brother.

Chapter 1 - Maya

Chapter 1 - Maya

It is midnight. It is always the same moon; the white round of ethereal light, shines through the open window caressed by the soft dance of the white curtain. The light breeze brought in the coldness of night and the voice that carries the sad melody sounded as otherworldly as the persona herself

Di bawahnya sinar bulan terang purnama
Air mataku menitis bagaikan embun
Melihat dikau melangkah tinggalkan semua
Ke alam yang baru begitulah jalanan hidupmu

Why do you always sing that song?
Whispered a childishly sweet voice to the reflection in the mirror
Untuk mengingatkan diriku tentang kisah lalu
Replied by a voice, so soft like a zephyr whispered to the girl sitting by the window
Don’t ever leave me, tell me what to do, to ease your pain

The same sweet smile didn’t reassure the doubts. It’s painful not to know the reasons behind despair.

Don’t protect me. Ignorance is not what I seek even though I know how blissful it is not to know. Neither I am too naïve nor weak not to do justice for you! Why came to me when you don’t trust me?
Masanya akan tiba pabila kau bersedia untuk menerima aku sepenuhnya, Maria.
When is the time yet to come? I’m prepared to be awakened, Maya. Or is it pity that stopped you?
Kau akan hilang, Maria. Hilang dan mati di dalam aku. Bukan belas kasihan atau simpati yang menghalang aku.
Love stops you? We will become one, Maya. I shall not be lost. Both of us are vital for the ultimate design. Believe in me as I trusted you with my life.
Tidurlah, wahai puteriku. Kitakan berjumpa di alam al-mythal
When I’ve died, Maya? The cynical tones brought a smile to her face
Kematian dan ruh bukan sinonim walaupun di dalam konteks yang sama
Goodnight then, my dearest. We will meet at the place of memories

She is still smiling when the ghost of sleeps touches her; all the voices cease to exist. The dream comes quietly as the sound of the night.

________________________________________________________

In the dream, raindrops like tears fall onto the body. Lies on a red stone; altar bed of sacrifice. The dead tree looms over like a death-god with a scythe. As she got up, the waves of the sea broke at her feet, sending shivers piercing her heart with coldness. Coldness and darkness wrap her like an invisible robe on her naked body. When the red moon sinks into the ocean, the song came;

Di bawahnya sinar bulan terang purnama
Air mataku menitis bagaikan embun
Melihat dikau melangkah tinggalkan semua
Ke alam yang baru begitulah jalanan hidupmu


When she opens her eyes, the song is still echoing inside her. The sunlight that woke her from the dream always confusing since it is always forever night in her mind. The room seems unreal; the body is not hers. Finally, it dawns to her to remember the Judas of Lust. To taste the sweet nectar of sinful betrayal left her with nothingness. Nothing happened? She only prayed that the blissful ignorance can last. Nothing is everything. That is the life she is living because ignorance is not only bliss, it is the way to continue living. In her head, there’re voices, murmuring choices. Eyes, blanking stare, a lifeless light shone through from the reflection of the mirror as she gets up. A crying smile, an empty heart, a walking doll, shone in the reflection. No ashes, no dust, only cold revenge; given life by death. Until all is over the eternal sleep shall not come.

The Sea

There’s a heart, a beautiful heart
Here’s a knife, a compassionate knife
Where the teardrop flows, there will be the peaceful river
To form the sea of emotions
Ethereal in the wavering serene
Where the fish of feelings swim freely guided by the heart
Where darkness lies, there is a pearl of hope
When the knife pierces through and found the pearl
There will be light, shine bright and clear
Just to show the colours of dream to the darkness of the heart
Can you see the colours?
Can you see dreams?
Ask your heart and you will realized
The answers are within you
Take a swim within your heart and you will see

Judas of Lust

The sweet nectar of sinful betrayal
Nothing happened?
I only pray that the blissful ignorance can last…
But,
What can fool one’s heart?
The ever-fickle love is always mischievous
The ever-confirming mind is always confused
Hence, the heart can’t trust anymore
Neither in itself nor the mind nor the heart nor the belief…
What has left is nothing
That is everything for me now
A moment of mistake causing a torment of life
Nothing is everything
That’s the life I am living
When you have become the Judas of Lust
Ignorance is not only bliss,
It’s the way to continue living…
