Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 : Journey to the After Life

"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to what could be thee most important moment in history, What you are about to see is history in the making, and you and I will bare witness to the moment mother earth takes a step the next path of evolution" First Father's voice could be heard reverberating through the hall of the building, with no sound or voice to disturb it. The atmosphere filled with excitement, everyone help their breath waiting to see something that could be said to be once in a life time experience.

The air in the room got even more rich as if welcoming a new page in reality. The walls themselves began to vibrate so fast you'd think you could hear ethereal voices singing. " Now, join me as I chant this following words as we welcome a new world" First Father gather commanded and everyone prepared to follow in his chant.

[From a lonely moment, Time upsent]

[Darkness a trusted aid in the void]

[Nothingness the blank canvas of creation]

[A fuse of the universes like paint]

[from a moment of nothingness to something]

[Time became a moment reminder]

[Space held the events of moment]

[I came to being]

[For millennia from nothing]

[Now I become the next me]

[I am Mother Gaya and I live]

The group followed the chant, word to word, The moment they said the last line, the altar began to pulse, slow at first, then with every moment the frequency of the pulses grew. Like a heart of a new born beating for the first time. At that moment, everyone there felt as though some of their vitality is leaving them and it getting sucked in to the altar.

Fear started to set in, but before they started to panic, they felt pure vitality, re-enter their body through their pores, unlike their last vitality which felt corrupted with bad habits and health issue this one felt very flawless, untainted. Their scars and acne started to disappear and hidden ailments also got healed.

But soon something horrific happened, not everyone got the deluxe experience. Few of the guests felt as though they are burning inside, as if something is judging them and is trying to wash away the sins but those individual where just rotten to the core, out of those who experienced this a great number got sucked dry when the pure energy saw that they are irredeemable and escaped along with all their vitality, while the remaining lost conscious and seem to be fighting something within their dreams.

"Please be informed that right now we are being judged by Mother Gaya herself, she doesn't want to kill you as you are her children but remember sometimes there are bad apples from the trees that you just have to throw away. I understand that we have done some questionable thing in the past but that was for a noble course. But in this context , noble doesn't mean going against the morality of the laws the world governments have placed on us, or we all would have died. Understand that going against our nature which you yourself know to be evil for self gratification and serve your greed that can't be tolerated by Mother Gaya" First Father reminded them.

Upon listening to he reasons why, everyone started to understand and took a careful look at the individuals who were dried up, they recognized a number of them.

Take Mr Takodo for an example, he is well known in the human trafficking underworld, he even run the biggest operation known in history which has kidnapped so many underaged kids to sell to the highest bidder.

Then there is Princess Alka, a heartless woman who killed her entire family in order to rule her country and made a decree that she should be addressed as Princess as Queen makes her sound like an old woman, which is funny because she is 70 this year and though out the years as the ruler she has terrorized her kingdom, killing her subject like a change of clothing, she had even sold some of her young subjects to Mr Tokodo then killed the families of the sold youth to silence them.

There are others like them and as for the one who are currently unconscious, the did things which can't be said to be too bad but have put lots of people's lives in danger. Now that the guests have taken a good look of the people who got the short end of the stick they understood and somewhat agreed to the punishment.

While everyone was checking the people on the ground something astonishing took place on the alter, as though something from the TV screen put before their eye, Sora's body started to levitate, the two pillars on both sides of the altar shot a beam of light into Sora's body, the light was so pure that it was hard to keep your eye open for long but soon that light seemed as though it was being absorbed by Sora's Body dimming the place a bit till it stopped, right at that moment those vibrating runes from the walls started to fly out into Sora as well, then a white humanoid body phased out of Sora's body.

It was filled with ruins on it, this moment was very important because the spirit was being split from the body to be sent to the next life, if Sora still had the thoughts of his family and friends being alive, this would have been a bit hard as that would have been his motivation to live. Regaining conscious would have been dangerous as is soul was filled to the brim with foreign energy and waking up would mean his body wouldn't know what to do with this excess energy and the next best thing would be to expel it which could disintegrate his soul.

Now as the spiritual body was done separating, the runes on the spirit body started to shine bright as if trying to attract runes from the alter to jump up as a result.

Then Pop! Sora's spiritual body just blinked out of existence as if it never existed before.

Right at that moment the world became quite, literally, no sound , voice or any crash could omit any sort of sound. The world panicked, it felt like the calm before the storm, those with heart diseases couldn't keep up with the panic, and deaf people thought the world was becoming crazy. But was was even crazier is that the inner voices everyone had also became quite also. Nothing couldn't be thought of, and you couldn't even reproduce a song in your thoughts.

When everyone thought that the worst has happened, the world became blanketed by darkness, all the world lights lost their luminescence. Terror quicky took hold of the residents further. If they could see, they'd think they were surrounded by ghosts, everyone's skin was pale as if a corpse that hasn't had blood for weeks.

And even worse this time people couldn't retreat to their happy thoughts, because their minds lost vision also, leaving the the world blind and deaf, people at home or familiar places just felt their way around then hid in spaces they felt most secure at.

When all hope was lost, a voice enter their heads, A voice so beautiful, so innocent and other worldly that it soothed the nerves of the populous.

"My children fear not for I have finally awakened, My children be at ease for the world has been born anew, my children be brave for the power of desire shall be yours to possess. I am Mother Gaya, I have bore you for as long as you came to being, my life has been devoted into conceiving you and bringing you light. The love of a mother could never be forgotten. For this one time my children do forgive me, the world has changed and reality with it. You are about to eneter a new era, unfortunately I can't do much to help you in this regards as it is against the laws of nature, all I can do is what I have always done, nurture you till you reach your full potential. As this world enters a new, you will be faced with challenges, And forgive me for saying this but a great number of you will face death, but fear not as my children you shall enter the cycle of samsara, though there are some limits, for now my children live on and grow strong, we might be a young species and planet. But I know just how special you are. Go forth my children"

The moment the voice got silent the world got loud with light, Like a flashbang right their faces, The white light scream at everyone's faces, they felt their eye burn for a moment then followed by a big bang, a sound so loud, everyone ears started to bleed before the bleeding stopped and they could hear again and somewhat of a miracle happened, When everyone got their hearing back, the deaf could hear also, when everyone got their sight the blind could see as well. A day of miracle in deed.

As this was happpening, Sora was faced with his own Journry and the land of the dead
