213 Playing with your familiars and friends is a good way to avoid reality

This was...hard for me to fathom.

Did it mean that voice...was the voice of a God?

I stood in silence for a while, right in front of the hidden door. No, it wasn't because I got goosebumps or anything. It was actually quite the opposite; I didn't feel particularly alarmed, or scared. Surprised, yes, but...

Was it because I had heard that voice a few times before? It just felt so...familiar. So close. Rather than some mysterious, untouchable entity that was supposed to have ceased existence for almost two millennia, the voice felt almost like a friend. Someone I knew, someone I longed for. 

This calmness, despite everything, felt so bizarre. It was weirder than having a panic attack at the unexpected factbomb. 

"Are you alright?" Natha stroked my hair, and I nodded in a daze.
