Arnik opened his eyes and found himself in a dark empty place, as he strained his eyes all he could see far and beyond was this dark empty abyss." Hello, is anyone here, can anybody hear me " he called out but was only met with silence. He tried to remember the events leading up to him passing out," I was in a fight with Gerdi, and then I got trapped in a ball of earth, so where am I now? am I still in the ball? " these were the questions in Arnik's mind.

Just then he noticed a light shining in the distance, " Hello, is anybody there" he called out as he took a step forward, he was only greeted with more silence, he began walking towards the light, he could feel something pulling him towards it, an almost nostalgic feeling, the closer he got to the light, the brighter it shone, a bright shade of blue, just as he was about to touch it, he heard a voice, it was neither masculine nor feminine but it was loud and asked a simple question,
