Chapter 12: The mystery of water (part 2)
- "What's the difference between a nightmare and a dream? The portal between they. An normal dream represent your inner thoughts. Your desires. Your goals. A better copy of yourself.
An nightmare represent your acts. It represent the manifestation of your bloodlust. The portal between the normal dream and the nightmare: is the dreamer himself. An dreamer who accepts to descend into the darkness shadow of the chaos" Zeranix says seriously.
- "Who's the dreamer of this nightmare?"
My question being ignored by Zeranix. She's just continue to staring the upside down kingdom.
- "Everyone has the hands tinted with blood. There is not a single dreamer. There's a many dreamers" Zeranix's cold gaze start to staring me.
- "That kingdom above us.. Only our eyes can see it?"
- "The people's eyes are covered by the hands of the kingdom. The people's eyes cannot see what they deserves. They live in an nightmare"
- "You're eyes are not closed".
- "They were closed. But the infinite ocean that you can see have opened my eyes".
Zeranix's gaze staring me.
- "Zeranix, I'll help you if you help me" I said.
- "What do you need?"
- "The superior knowledge, the truth of truths"
- "You can't help me. Aquaris is already in the abysmal chaos"
- "I don't want help the bloodlust kingdom. I want to ascend in the upside down kingdom"
- "No one can ascend in the upside down kingdom".
- "I'm an.. Essence. I can do it with your help, Zeranix".
Zeranix's cold gaze stare me.
- "Let's make a deal. You'll help me for the kingdom, and I'll help you for your searches"
- "I trust you" I said.
The Aquaris kingdom is very strange. Zeranix wants to show at the people of Aquaris the truth, hidden from the kingdom itself.
After some minutes later, Zeranix and I arrived at the water gate that we've saw before.
- "Seraf, this is the gate for the north side of the kingdom. There will be the royal castle, and the many nobles people. This part is the most different from the other".
- "I understand".
- "Come with me to talk with some civilians, let's hear their thoughts".
- "Sure".
The Aquaris kingdom looks very normal and peaceful. How can be so atrocious and dark. This kingdom maybe are looking into the abyss, and probably, this kingdom is the abyss itself.
Zeranix seems full of hate for the Aquaris kingdom. What happened between Zeranix and the kingdom? This kingdom is full of hidden truth.
We came to a woman, who is carefully watching her children as they play outside.
Her age will probably be between his 40s and 45s. She is wearing a long red dress with flower details. She's eyes are blue like the sapphires.
- "Sorry miss" Zeranix asked at the woman.
The woman pays her attention to us.
- "Tell me guys".
- "Sorry for bother you, can I ask you a few question?"
Zeranix smirked at the woman. The woman's children stare me while Zeranix speak.
- "Of course, go ahead".
- "What do you think about the kingdom? Do you would change something or not?".
- "The kingdom is perfect with his rules".
- "Why do you think that?"
- "Because the royal family of Aquaris, is always truthful with us".
- "Thanks for your time".
We're moved away from the woman.
- "Do you have seen? The people are blind. They don't know anything about the real kingdom"
- "They're full of trust for the kingdom"
- "Let's go to the holy church"
- "In this kingdom they have an god?"
- "Yes, their god is their protector of the kingdom".
We've arrived at the holy church. Outside there is a colossal statue of their god. She's a woman, with medium length hair and wears a long dress.
- "She's name is: Aqualirisium, the ancient abyssal divinity"
- "Aqualirisium.."
- "The divinity that you can see in front of you, has never existed. Aqualirisium is only an false god for the kingdom. They believe in the kingdom's lies".
- "I understand"
The Aquaris kingdom is falling in the void of lies, they live in a cemetery of false gods. They have their paradise above their heads, but instead they lives in hell.
- "I lived in this kingdom years ago, and I believed in Aqualirisium too. When I was a young kid, I'd wanted to be like her. An beautiful goddess. The stories about Aqualirisium are many"
- "There are no other gods in Aquaris?"
- "Only Aqualirisium, no other gods. The kingdom have eyes only for her"
- "All people believes in Aqualirisium. No one can not trust in the goddess".
- "Is a rule of the kingdom?"
- "It's a secret rule. Only the royal family know this rule"
- "They need Aqualirisium. Without her, the kingdom fall into the truth. And the royal family doesn't want that".
