"What is going on... just what is this thing?" he questioned!.
Observing the holographic translucent screen in front of him in both apprehension and fascination.
Abruptly, "You should name yourself first... " Echoed the strange voice in his head again.
His eyes went wide! Startled.
This time the voice wasn't the emotionless one he had heard earlier.
Agitated, "Wh-what.. what and who are you!?" He stuttered.
Moreover, He soon realized that the black translucent screen in front of him had disappeared and he could move again.
Hence, without wasting a second he quickly got back up to his feet and distanced himself from the wall and moved to stand in the centre of the cave.
Looking around the dark cave! His expression — distressed even uneased.
'Just what was happening to me, why am I suddenly hearing voices in my head! One that soundes just like mine. Am I going crazy or something!?'
Now, the darkness which had felt — warm! soothing! even welcoming till now!.
Felt eerie and unknown!. Further adding to his already apprehensive state of mind!.
The strange voice resembling 'his'!.
Spoke again in his mind "Why don't you name yourself first!?" It suggested.
"Who are you and what do you want!?" He demanded.
"And... And how can you talk in my head and in my voice too!?" He questioned.
His voice dripped with a tone fear.
Simultaneously he did a 360° rotation around the cave looking for the source of the unknown voice in his head but he found nothing or couldn't find anything even with his vision that saw almost every little thing in this all-consuming darkness.
Nonetheless he just couldn't find the source of the unknown voice in his head.
Which was honestly both unsettling and terrifying!.
The voice uttered, his tone disdainful, "It's no use you won't find me in the cave.. " Upon seeing his actions.
The mocking sound echoed in his mind like a drum bell making him insensed.
He clenched his teeth and fists. Hard enough that one could even here the sound of his teeth grinding and his fists crackling with magical energy.
Something that he subconsciously released because of the nervousness and the fear he felt in the stygian silent darkness.
Nonetheless, with clenched teeth he asked again, "Where are — " however before he could continue, the strange voice intrupted him.
"Sigh!." The strange voice sighed in disappointed!.
Continuing he finally told him where and who he was.
"I'm in you and I'm you!. So, I don't understand what are you becoming so afraid of!?"
The words spoken resounded in his mind like a thunderstorm.
His thoughts which had calmed down a little broke again at the implications of the strange voice words!.
"Wh-what do you mean you are me.. " he uttered. Flabbergasted.
"And in.. me... No!. Hold on, wait a second!. Did you just say you.. are.. in.. me!." He repeated word by word.
He was really close to going insane and crazy, now.
What did he mean by the inside him!. To say he was disgusted would be doing it justice.
Since what he felt right now. Even he couldn't describe it properly.
"Yes, I'm you and I'm in you.. " The voice repeated again.
"And before you get any strange ideas more specifically, I'm in your soul sea!." The voice clarified. His tone calm like an adult answering a child.
After hearing the strange voices answer. He calmed down and asked..
"So you are saying you are 'me'!?" He blinked.
"Yes!" The voice confirmed.
"And 'you' are also in 'me'!." He repeated. Gazing at the earth below!.
"More specifically, I'm in your soul sea and not 'in' you. So don't get that mixed up."
"How do I know that you are speaking truth!?" he asked. His tone skeptical.
"You can come and see me in your soul sea!. Why are you asking all these useless questions". The strange voice replied. A little irritated.
'is his main body an idiot, 'it' kept saying 'it' is in 'his' soul sea. Why couldn't he understand something so simple. And if 'he' couldn't trust 'it', then why couldn't 'he' just come and check 'it'.' It thought.
"So, how do I even enter my soul sea!." He asked. Still not trusting 'It' fully.
"What the- "
"Right, I totally forgot you only gained your 'will' only a day ago!. So I have to tell you every little thing! Ugh... " He heard 'It' in his head again but this time it sounded like 'It' was grumbling.
"So you're gonna tell me how do I enter my soul sea or what!?" He repeated. His tone mocking, trying to get back at the strange voice, for all the trouble it had caused him until now.
"Fine, Fine, stop being childish.. Sigh... " 'It' sighed.
"First close your eyes... " Continuing 'It' stared teaching him how to enter his soul sea.
'It' already had a feeling that 'it' had a lot of teaching to do.
Making it grunt and sigh again, nonetheless there was no one to hear it...
Time passed as he tried many times to enter his soul sea and failed many times.
Even so at his 20th try he finally succeed and entered his soul sea!.
...
The long silent has once again returned to the oval shaped cave as a lone figure stood at the center of the cave.
The all-consuming darkness embracing him like he was it's own child.
The figure had it's eyes closed but one could see the beads of sweat on the figure's forehead and the side cheeks telling the story of his recent achievement of managing to enter his soul sea in just an hour after learning about it.
...
As he opened his bright golden eyes...
Telling him he was flabbergasted! stunned! or even amazed!.
Would be an understatement. To the sensations he was feeling right now!.
Presently, He was standing on the surface of a calm water. It had no ripples in it. Totally still! Silent! Even tranquil!.
Was it a lake! A sea! A river! An ocean. He didn't know!.
Nevertheless for as far as he can see there was only water shimmering with an ethereal glow.
The figure said as he observed the far reaching tranquil water...
"No! It's not water!?" He uttered.
As for exactly what it was...
Even the figure did not know...
