Chapter 4 Part 15

The entire world seemed to be turnt to black flames. The floors, the skies, everything was simply gone. It had turnt all into flames. Clarista saw this, and her eyes glowed with cold, but a passionate sense of rage. Lux then fell on to the only remaining floor that was being protected by Clarista, and then whispered, "So this is the level of combat these people are at… This is far too ridiculous…" Clarista then yelled, "Don't worry. I won't let the world end, trust me." Codarius then wondered, 'Was the world ending again? How far is this going to resonate? Was this because of him?' And lastly, he wondered, 'Why isn't he able to do anything even now…'

With the deep thoughts within his mind, everything went dark… Codarius woke up again, in the familiar place, ExoHarmony. Codarius then asked before anything, "Can you stop just randomly bringing me here?" There Abstrelia calmly replied, "Well, it's not me bringing you here. It is just yourself." Abstrelia added, "If you're wondering if the world was ending again, don't worry, everything here at the very least is completely fine. Maybe your plane might be in danger though…"

Codarius gritted his teeth. Abstrelia looked with equanimity, "Is it power that you need? Or is it something else. Maybe if you stop thinking about how powerless you are, and look towards something beyond that, it'll all naturally come towards you." Codarius then asked, "Well what can I do? I don't even know what's going outside of the small bubble I was in, and there's no way any of us is standing a chance against that guy…" Abstrelia then replied, "Well, you certainly aren't powerless… Don't you consider being able to be here, and think about some things calmly, a sort of ability?" Codarius then looked at Abstrelia and asked, "What's that going to do?"

Abstrelia then asked, "Well what can't you not do? You are capable of just being here, with everything where you previously were, just completely paused. You can resume whenever you want. And plus, there more to this then just being here and thinking you know? You can unlock unbounded possibilities, completely impossible within your small world." Codarius then asked, "Well then how do I do that?" Abstrelia then replied, "You'll find out as life moves on."

Codarius then yelled desperately, "I don't have much time! I can't be stuck at the first part of the world…" Abstrelia then went up to Codarius and then cuddled him. She then calmly explained, "You're rushing. You don't need to rush. Yes, even beyond time, beyond fate, there is a continuity, that well eventually bring you towards the calamity, even here… But you don't need to rush. Just take your time, and then you'll be free." Codarius then stood up, and then walked towards the light that embodied his world. He then touched it, and then his vision glowed.

However, this time, he didn't feel like he was in his body. In fact, he saw himself, Clarista, Lux, Rick, and Batin in the bubble, being engulfed by the black flames. He wondered, was he seeing the world form a outer point of view? He then felt like he was freely able to move everywhere, as if he wasn't even a part of the world. He saw the world, the city, and the mountains, all just turnt into black flames. Hristov was no where to be found. But then he saw something different. Though blurry in the black flames, the Grand Sanatorium was still unaffected by the flames.

It was in fact, one of the few things that had remained in the world that had turnt to flames. How was Hristov capable of doing this? Codarius then got out of the vision suddenly, asking Abstrelia, "Hey, do you know anything about the Grand Sanatorium in my world?" Abstrelia looked at Codarius and replied, "Well of course, there is nothing that I don't know. However, I'm not sure if I just want to tell you…" Codarius asked anyways, "Does the books in the Grand Sanatorium have to do anything with what Hristov is doing?" Abstrelia then replied, "Positive." Codarius then grabbed the light, and then immediately returned to the world.
