Syrus and Kail pick up the book that
they used to link to The Land of No Return.
The image on the first page shows the Book
Temple. Synan, Zoe, James, and Sarah are
there. Sarah appears to be talking to Synan
and Zoe. Sarah hands Synan and Zoe a book.
They open it and disappear. Syrus then links
to the Book Temple. Kail follows.
“Sarah! Where did they go?” Syrus
asks.
“They went to the portal to the other
realm to retrieve the Star Stone, to defeat
Deity.” Sarah answers.
“Give me that book!” Syrus takes
it and warps. As he is warping, Sarah looks
up at the sky.
“Oh, look, it appears Deity has been
stopped.” Sarah says.
Syrus disappears through the book.
The sound of Linking has deafened Syrus,
so he didnt hear Sarah.
Syrus appears in a dark and gloomy
room. Without time to look around, he
dashes for the portal. Syrus hears a voice
behind him.
“Hey!” It was Zoes voice. Syrus
runs into the portal. (Synan did not include
this event in his journal).
Syrus appears in a circular, spinning
tunnel. Syrus remembers this place. His
dream!
Syrus gets the chills and freezes.
His dream, nay, nightmare is coming true.
Syrus is tapped on the shoulder, like in
the dream. He jumps and looks behind him.
That undead creature from his dream is there.
“Hello. I am Unamed.”
“Thats.... nice....” Syrus says, scared
to death.
“Ahem...” Unamed clears his throat.
“I will be the guide on your way,
But coming back I wont play,
If to the other side you wish to go,
Then follow me and dont be slow!”
“Wow, a poet. Whod have thought?”
Unamed begins to float away.
Syrus runs after him.
“Unamed, where are you
taking me?” Syrus asks.
“To the other world. Thats
my job, to lead people through the
Eternal Corridor.”
“Oh.”
“Also, Im keeping you away
from Snip. In the Eternal Corridor,
Snip has unlimited power. Hes very
difficult to capture, too. A level 5
Snip in one of the two worlds is equal
to a level 2,000 Snip in this world.”
“Wow, thats powerful.”
“Yep. And using that analogy,
all the Snips in this world would be
level 200 in yours.” Unamed says.
“Lets see... 200 divided by
5 times 1,500...” Syrus tries to work
it out in his head.
“80,000. Most of these
Snips are around level 80,000.”
Unamed says, without any effort.
“Wow, youre smart.” Syrus
compliments.
“Well, thats what you do
when youve been dead for over a
century.”
“What?!” Syrus is filled with
dread.
“Now, moving on, we need
to get you to the other side.” Unamed
says.
They turn down another
tunnel. Whats there to meet them?
Well, what else would you find in this
world, but Snip!
Snip is a large, gray, squid-like
monster. He has six gray tails, with three
red stripes on each, and steel points on
the tips.
“Unamed, I thought we werent
going to see any of these!”
“Hey, I cant make promises,
but I know were expected to see less
of them in the outskirts of this place.”
“How can you call this area the
outskirts? If this place is bigger than our
universe, --”
“Much bigger.”
“Yeah, whatever, but you cant
call it the edges like that. For all you
know we could be in the center!” Syrus
argues.
“Well, these Snips have regular
orbiting patterns.”
“Okay.”
“Snip has six tails, as so. In each
one contains every poison known to
each dimension. That includes all the
incurable fatal viruses of your world.”
Snip stabs Unamed with one
tail. The other five attack too. The six
tails are attacking repeatedly. Satisfied,
Snip flies away. Unamed gets back up.
“I hate it when that happens!”
“I bet.” Syrus comments.
“Well, where were we?” Unamed
says.
