Syrus and Unamed have been walking

all night. It was all night according to Syrus’s

watch, anyway. Time doesn’t seem to fly by in

this place. Unamed faces Syrus down one last

tunnel.

“This is the exit, Syrus. Walk down

this tunnel.”

Syrus does what he’s told, and slowly

walks down the tunnel. Suddenly, a bright

flash comes over Syrus, and he appears back

in the dark room which he left.

“This is the other dimension!” This

time, Syrus actually takes time to look around

the room. There is a square-shaped hole in

the ceiling, allowing a faint red glow from

Emerald’s Crater to light up the room. On the

wall opposite the portal is a pedestal with a

book on top.

The book is opened. “Synan and Zoe

must have gotten here already.” Syrus puts

his hand on the picture and warps into the

Book Temple. The sky is back to normal. Syrus

can see stars again. This must mean that he

is in the other world, where Deity wasn’t wound

up.

“Syrus!” Sarah is sitting at the desk.

“What are you doing here?”

“Err, umm...” Syrus clears his throat and

talks in his best voice. “My name is King Syrus.

I have come from the other dimension to rule

over this world!”

“Syrus, hello? You’re FROM our

dimension!”

“What?”

“I can tell by looking at you. The humans

in this dimension have a slightly different look to

them.”

“What?? Unamed sent me back to where

I came from?”

“Oh, so you met Unamed. Yeah, I told

him to send you back here.”

“Damn incarnation!” Syrus curses.

“Swearing won’t help any, Syrus. I know

Synan and Zoe can completely handle whatever

happens to them.”
