Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4: Knowing and understanding the Situation

With the faint sense of understanding on the strange feeling Shad Darc came to know what the feeling really feels like to him. 

 If he should put it to words, then he would say it feels cold extremely cold and also it feels like he is in the bottom of a still water body because that is the sense of feeling he is getting right now. 

 Also, it doesn't just stop there with it came along the feeling of absolute stillness, calmness and strangely peace something he is desperately looking for, but here it is.

 "Argh, this feeling how peaceful if only I can just hold onto it forever" but he knows that that is impossible because there's no such thing as absolute or everlasting peace as long one is alive in this world except a good death.

 That aside, he tries to understand more on the feelings, he comes to realize whatever he is feeling is related to the fact he is in this strange looking forest.

 Well, that is only part of it the main reason is yet unknown to him at this point he needs more knowledge to understand the strange phenomenon, just as his beginning to gain understanding on the strange feeling his mind suddenly went blank once more.

 But unlike before when he was in the state of emptiness this time the case is different because the state emptiness has intertwined with the strange feeling giving off a completely new feeling.

 Strange enough this particular feeling doesn't feel strange at all, nor does it feel alien rather it feels welcoming. It feels as if he has always felt like this before but only now is he aware of it.

 Though his is mind blank at this moment his thought halted but that does not stop his other senses. This time around thanks to the intertwining of the strange feeling and absolute depressed state it gave rise to an entirely new feeling. Even though he is incapable of thinking at this very moment he is more than capable of feeling what is happing right now thanks to some unknown reasons.

 In this weird state of stillness without the ability to think he instinctively draws a long breathe in and with that the situation completely changed entirely it was as if he was forcefully pulled out from the state of absolute depression and with that his ability to think properly returns.

 But this time around he is completely aware of what he is feeling, with that came a better understanding on the strange feelings

 If feels it is more like when one is put into the deepest part of the ocean where instead of feeling pressured one feels extremely cold instead and also one feels nothing at all because there is nothing to feel except for the stillness and calmness of an unmoving and un-flowing water body which feels awkward.

 'Can an ocean truly be this calm and still this just doesn't make any sense at all' he continues to dive deeper into understanding the feeling.

 Only at this moment does he grasp the first layer of this feeling because at this first layer he comes to know that this is no ordinary feeling this is something that feels more spiritual and supernatural.

 Coming to this realization Shad Darc can't help but be taking a back a little it isn't that he doesn't believe in supernatural of spiritual affairs, but he wasn't expecting it to be this way.

 "Well, am not wrong and maybe might even be exaggerating the matter a little too high" he then sighs "well it doesn't really matter it will only matter when I know what is really going on but first, I should try and grasp this first layer". With that thought in mind he decided to grasp even if is little knowledge on this entirely new feeling.

 The first thing he understood about this new feeling is that this no ordinary feeling but more like an extraordinary feeling. Secondly this feeling is tired to this forest somehow in some mysterious way he is yet to understand but that doesn't really matter to him at this moment. 

 'I can't fully understand what I don't really know so I won't waste time on thinking on things I can't fully comprehend at the moment rather I will only think of what I can fully comprehend at the moment. So, one thing at a time'.

 After reaffirming himself on what to think about he continues to comprehend on the knowledge of the first layer of the new feeling.

 The third thing he came to understand is that it is somehow in some way connected to his sub-consciousness, which he is very certain that it does, but he can't explain how at the moment and thus he left it until he has more knowledge on the new feeling.

 The fourth thing he came to know is that this feeling is akin to a type of energy. It gives him feeling of an energy source in the sense that he makes him feels empowered in some weird way.

 "Damn, just where am really" he can't help but feel even more conflicted about the whole situation.

 He looks up into the now night sky glimmering with stars which looks really weird to him.

 "The night sky, why does it look a bit different from normal skies I know it feels fake somehow or maybe not". 

Starry at the sky quietly he came to notice the difference in the night sky a little.

 "I see so it isn't that night sky looks fake but rather the stars seem abnormally larger than the ones I usually see and also it seems to have nine alignments of an extremely large stars taking a circle form".

 "Weird, this is so weird".

 Averting his eyes away from the weird night sky while pondering a lot of questions deep within his heart he looks down at the bearlike creature down below which is also looking at him with what he will call anticipation which looks really odd to him.

 He let out a low breath close eyes and think of what has happened since mysteriously coming to this forest to the chase of the bearlike creature to the strange feeling and finally to this very moment, he comes to have a faint knowledge and understanding of the situation he is in.
