3 Who Is It?

The man was surrounded in darkness and he thought that maybe he would be stuck forever.

"Is there an end to this darkness?"

The man paced until he decided to sit down and focus. He closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. He meditated before and was quite experienced at it, at this point it was just natural to him and he quickly cleared his mind completely. His mind was empty and all that remained was the darkness. A figure appeared in his mind but he couldn't make out any of it's characteristics. It was surrounded in a deep and dark haze.

"You're faster than I expected."

A deep and ancient voice resonated in the man's ears. The figure enshrouded in darkness sounded like a man. His deep voice could shake worlds and it had inexplainable qualities about it..... maybe an elusive mystery would be the best description.

The man looked towards the figure and responded himself, he had no fear and he faced the figure without any restraint.

"Who are you?"

The figure responded quickly. "You want to know who I am... hmmm, I think you'll find that out soon enough. But I need some information as well. I'll be asking you a lot of questions and my first is.... your name... what is it?"

The young man seemed to respond instantly, effortlessly, it was like he was compelled to answer the figure. "People call me Xeo"

The figure chuckled a bit. "Xeo.... what a peculiar name. Do you not have a last name?

Rey looked up at the figure and chuckled himself. "My name is Xeo... Xeo Rey."

"I'll just call you Xeo."

Rey: And what should I call you? I really have no proper way at the moment.

The figure was silent for a moment as he was doing who knows what behind the shroud of mist. He eventually spoke out. "You can call me...King Uru, or just Uru for short."

Xeo: Uru, it seems you also have a peculiar name, one that I've never heard before

Uru: You seem very calm in your current situation right now. Isn't there anything you're dying to ask me?

Xeo: Yeah... I do have a few things I wanted to ask. Where are we? Will I be able to go back and will everything be the same? Why is this happening?

Uru: Questions, questions, questions..... I guess I'll try my best to give you a satisfactory answer."
