I stood infront of the imposing structure that was the palace, a sigh left my lips as I walked towards it
As I got to the entrance of the palace, the envelope in my hands started glowing white, the guards upon seeing this, immediately let me into the palace, "probably a signature they can sense?" I thought to myself,
I looked down unto the envelope in my hand, golden wisps emanated from it at Intervals,I knew there was a message hidden here but I couldn't decipher it "but I could replicate it" I thought to myself, frowning "that doesn't say alot about security here,given enough time I could decipher the code entirely" I thought to myself
Suddenly a figure appeared at my front, a female ,I raised my head to properly greet this person
Immediately I did so I regretted it, the same hypnotic quality that the captain had emanated from her "I'm noticing a disturbing trend here" I thought to myself
"Lithra of house claviscus?" She said towards me ,I nodded curtly earning me a wave for me to follow her, soon enough I was led to the front of a door with golden trims along its side "come in!" A voice called from inside before we had even knocked on the door.
The woman opened the door motioning for me to enter, shutting the door behind me after I did so
My eyes immediately found purchase on the female sitting on a couch in the middle of the room, the simple motion of laying my eyes on her already making my thoughts blur "oh come here darling" she said
Before I knew it I was already walking towards her my thoughts slurring,growing blurrier and blurrier until al of a sudden I was I was in a blank space my head clear of intruding thoughts
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Suddenly the blank area warped into an extremely comfy room with a fireplace and beside the fire place was a figure that looked exactly like me but was made up of black particles loosely bound to each other the figure looked at me "oh you're here!" He said
"Wait you're the voice in my head!" I said to the figure, the figure nodded, placing the book in his hands down
"We're currently in my....your head?"he said sighing "that space you were in before is what I would call your psyche, your domain of the mind, kinda... This" he said while waving around"is mine"
"But thats not why we're here" he said getting up from his seat, a wide window appearing where a wall used to be showing my body slowly making it's way towards the female, "since we're in the mind, barely anytime has passed, we're lucky whatever she's using dosent account for multiple people or else we'd be fucked" "so what are we going to do?" I asked him "well we don't have anything to hide, so there's no need to really panic, the only thing of real importance is that ring, so we're going to lie to ourselves to lie to her"
I looked at him confused "since I technically live in your mind and I am technically a figment of your imagination I have a decent mastery over the mind, so I'm going to seal all parts of our memories which has anything to do with. The ring for the duration of the interrogation, technically you are not lying if you never knew about it"
I nodded absent mindedly"one last question tho" I askedd him "why do you look like that?" I expected him to be more solid
He chucked and said "look at yourself"
I looked down at my body , I looked like I mirror that has broken into pieces and had been reformed,barely holding itself together, hairline cracks spread around my frame
"Okay! It's time to go!" He said and the world warped and shuddered
And I was back in the room, everything after that was a blur and soon enough I was standing outside the palace, still trying to process what had happened
"What in the actual fuck is going on" I said to myself
I sighed for like the thousandth time and walked towards the carriage that was supposed take me towards the academy
"I'm really starting to hate carriages,they just take me to the worst places" I whispered underneath my breath
