Chapter 5 - A temple surrounded by souls

As we are going inside , there was a grand temple surrounded by an urban forest. Inside this forest graveyard symmetry water bodies and open grounds scattered in a rectangular pattern and in the middle that structure lies a grand temple . The architecture was one of it's kind in this world. A large octagonal platform four meter higher than ground ,on that platform a Lotus shaped building stands tall. It's large open hall get indirect sunlight from glasses hidden in the inner bottom of petals. It gives a holy and serene vibe . It was both calming and cold as if the sunlight is unable to heat up the temple but legend say in winter it's stays warm . The temple is built in a way that it always stays in a comfortable twenty degree Celsius .

A majestic sound of an old woman preaching was coming from the Central Hall where the alter lies.

" The Soul is the body and a body is the garment of soul. A soul with it's garment is life and after life the soul wonders around in the world, till the mentor of soul guides it to the fabric of world, from where it was born. He is benevolent . The ruler of all souls. Last place of all life and a new beginning. He always silently watches over all of his believers and protecting them. "

A chanting erupt "praise the embodiment of end and new beginning, praise the guide of all souls ,Praise the ruler who rules over death ."

As chanting subsided everyone started to pray silently . There was rows of benches . We walk and sit in a front bench then both of us started praying silently

" Oh benevolent Lord , I implore your mercy for my transgression. I pray for your attention. "

After the prayer session ended,that old woman in a black nun like attire looked at us and said lord had heard your thoughts and burdens , come with me .

She let us down stairs through a backdoor in a candlelit ancient corridor. There she opened a three meter tall door with patterns of symbol of soul, inverted triangles with a circle inside it and in the circle there is a flame, whole pattern has a silvery shine.

Inside that room there was a long corridor with sealed boxes. They were sealed in many different techniques , some had mechanical arrangements, someone were kept inside water or other substance some had their own room .

She opened a brass box with symbol of half moon and retrieved two rings.

She give each of us that brass ring with intricate patterns and sprinkled a white powder ,we lost consciousness and dropped to floor. As we were in a dream suddenly I was feeling lucid probability due to that brass ring . In the dream world there was a abandoned town surrounded by fog and sky was cloudy dark . My clothes changed into more of an adventurer form a fantasy novels and suddenly a girl cut through the fog in military attire . Lilly is it you !? Albert you too? How we are in same dream ?!

...

In 18th Lake street Albert's neighbourhood a girl with glasses and long black hair was using invisibility with a invisible guy with chestnut colour hair both were wearing spy attire .

" Ariana you failed to infiltrate or use your charm to reveal any secrets you are useless!"

She replied with frustration

" Don't say a word Matthew you had also failed !"

They scanned the house and didn't detected any presence inside it ."

" Hay we had a chance Matthew they aren't here"

As they use their skills to climb up the terrace they stuck in an invisible barrier.

" Who was saying we had a chance, how you can be so stupid they won't just left is with out protection."

"Don't think you can always pick on me just shut up"

They first use there mystical dagger ,then a enchanted loop and few gremoar permiation charms nothing was working. It's a strong barrier. They tried to use all the other ways from door,from window ,from chimney everything was fruitless.

Matthew said " I don't think you will be able to penetrate this barrier so easily."

She frustratedly replied " who is now giving up"

"I am not! This is just waiting for right time to get better opportunity . Knowledge is not going anywhere we would have opportunities in future. We have to back down for now ."

" For now let's report that we are able to make contact but we need some more time to actually gather the real knowledge "

...

In Kepler space station.

A voice of women enquired

"Andrew do you think Albert can handle that crucial information alone, we didn't even explain or told him about it, don't you think "

" I had made all the arrangements don't worry one day he will found out he is almost an adult now. He can handle it and I had put extra arrangements around the house that will prevent infiltration of the people who had awareness about that knowledge .

What a smark he said " no one can steal it , it only can be accuared"

...

In the dream scape.

"I think if we remember Sofia's words she had said that there is something hiding in our consciousness, we have to hunt it down then we might be able to escape the dream and remove that time loop "

" So we are in a common ground of our consciousness how both consciousness interact ? There are lots of mysteries"

As we started exploring foggy desolate town it started raining and we took selther under one roof.

Looking at the surrounding she said

"It was looking like it had been abundant for years trees had already taken over it "

There was no sign of a war or fighting everything was intact as if someone left it and then no one touched it .

We share the grumble sound as if something crawling through the sky we muft to the window and looked up.

Then we saw a giant serpent in the clouds it was white in colour and thunderstorm followed it . We were just speechless how a supposed to deal with something this big and humangus . For it we are like ants .

As it was visible whole town become clean shiny as new as if time was reverted .
