In a large chamber occupied by thousands of giant snakes of different species, looking like an army ready for war—a conclusion taken after observing their different forms, colors and sizes—a green large serpent watch with an almost unreadable expression—maybe an expression of disappointment if carefully examined—as a large black creature alighted from a contraption recently situated on the beautiful stage in front of her and her army—a place prepared for the contraption—followed by an exotically alluring golden rat about three and a half meters tall that is flagged midair at her side by a small unicorn-like creature with a full exotic mane and a pair of large wings.

  About some seconds after the supporting characters of the show took their spot under the spotlight; a young man—the man of the show in dark gold pants holding a chubby furry creature tenderly in his arms, came down from the other side of the expertly crafted contraption with the look of confidence and a bright smile plastered on his face.

  "Uncle, at this rate, your action was not in any way cool. I trusted you so much... but anyway, its game over for you. And at this rate, I will expect more from you in the future, even if it turn out this way."

  The voice of the green serpent like she is talking to herself echoed in the mind of Skylar—the young man on the stage who is now trying his best to avoid the spotlight prepared for him while holding gently the furry creature in his arms.

  Meanwhile, in that moment, the furry creature disengaged from him by jumping nimbly out of his arms, and like they are weightless, they landed on top of the shoulder of the big black creature close to them that is also standing under the dim spotlight bathing the stage. Then the furry creature, after about a second pause on the big black creature shoulder made a jump that positioned them gracefully beside the green serpent who has been watching and probably enjoying the show on the stage.

  "My mate, you failed. You tried. It wasn't your fault and I am sorry about that. But don't forget our bet, you owe me."

  The furry creature—Lady cat—telepathically informed the young man—Skylar—who is looking at her with an expressionless stare as she stood at the side of the green serpent like they are two dear and reliable partner reuniting.

  And a moment later, he and his roomies watched as the green serpent and their former partner turned and gracefully exit the chamber side by side through the VIP exit prepared, and the atmosphere between them as they exit, naturally warm and friendly.

  They are both using telepathy... What are they even talking about... But lady cat really did that... I underrated her intelligence...

  Skylar watching as the back of the cat and serpent fade into the distance thought with a solemn expression with a solemn aura emanating from him.

  "Will she be alright?" Raftelia squeaked. "She left with her."

  "Why worry," Skylar replied. "She is probably in a better position than us. Let us focus on ourselves for now."

  Raftelia agreed with a nod, watching alongside the others as two beautiful giant white snakes, standing out amidst the giant snake army barricade, slithered towards them.

  Green bitch where are you going to put us now? Sylar smiled, and at that moment, alongside the others, he followed the lead of the two white snakes as they escort them through a tunnel to a place he is looking forward to.

  ***

  In front of a very familiar door or gate, considering its enormous proportion;

  Two white giant snakes, a big black rabbit, a tall and chubby attractive humanoid rat, a person, and a tiny creature with wings and horn like a unicorn, floating close to this strange ensemble; all watch as the door slowly and silently opened slightly at the middle, creating a tiny pass that can clearly fit a titanic, leading into a familiar space behind it.

  This is it... Skylar laughed, mocking after seeing the space the door leads to. After everything, she still sent us here. He laughed again, mocking. This is really hilarious.

  This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  He broke into a fit of laughter, disregarding the various curious stares directed at him.

  So he really couldn't bear it, the weight of a crushing defeat... Hmm, yes, I will have to comfort him when he calms down, yes, I have to...

  Raftelia determined; her emotions and thought expressed by a clenched fist after which she followed the big guy and small guy through the passage revealed by the door into a familiar territory, and not once did she look back at the human figure left behind who seems to be expressing his grievance and sorrow by smiling and laughing wildly like a mad man.

  Lord, its the mistress you went against, it was expected... But lord I still believe you; you can do one last miracle, if you want to...

  One of the two white snakes beside the delirious Skylar kissed him on his cheek sneakily, quickly withdrawing.

  "Fuck! Why is a bitch dirtying my precious skin with dirty saliva. So fucking annoying"

  Skylar with clear irritation and annoyance on his face voiced out loudly, expressing pure disgust at the act of the white giant snake he didn't even bother to glance at. His actions elitist and his expression clearly implying 'so far below me'.

  Hurriedly after wiping thoroughly the spot that was kissed on his face, he walked away from the scene through the gap between the doors, is expression clearly saying 'i don't want to be in the same space with filth'

  Idiot, how can't you control your impulses?... Now look, he is clearly disgusted...

  One of the white giant snakes slithered away in style as the large door Skylar passed through begins to slowly close behind him.

  Lord, that was not kind, not kind... I was just trying to cheer you up...

  A faint sobbing sound was drowned by the sound of the enormous door shutting tightly, while a white giant snake, head droopy and gloomy, remained sobbing in front of it.

  ***

  Inside their chamber—Skylar and the group's room, the room as big as a small town, looking like an ancient primeval paradise with a lively three dimensional cosmos displayed on its 'as tall as a mountain' vault;

  Raftelia, the big guy and the little guy watched attentively with varying expressions as Skylar run from one wall of the room to the other at inhuman speed, placing his palm glowing green on different spots on the walls when he reached them, his action like he is looking for a spot that feels good to touch.

  The big guy and the little guy with a similar expression of 'is this guy finally crazy' simultaneously turned their head, their gaze following the confused human with a frown on his face as he run like an idiot to the distant opposite wall with an inhuman speed.

  "He has been doing this for a very long time now... What is he trying to achieve?" Raftelia squeaked, her expression, one of confusion as she voiced a question she hoped will reach Skylar who will kindly provide them an explanation for his strange ritual.

  Skylar who has been doing his stuff to the walls while ignoring his comrades burning with curiosity stopped; he disengaged his hand from the wall and turned his back to it with a bright smile of understanding on his face.

  He proceeded. The group watched as he made his way to the center of the kilometers wide chamber and took a seat on the black crystal finished floor in a lotus position, a spiritual green glow emanating from him afterwards.

  What's Sky up to this time?... Raftelia's eyes narrowed.

  Its time... This should do it... Skylar smiled. He opened his closed eyes and the green spiritual glow on his body and the spot where he made contact with the floor subsided gradually.

  "Everyone come around, we are leaving." He motioned with is hand, giving a vague answer to the question in everyone's mind.

  Then doing as he instructed, everyone, except the small guy walked towards him and took their spots right behind him. And at the same time, they gave great attention to his expression while looking forward in good faith to his next move.

  "Little guy, I will leave you here. Or you want to stay?" Skylar projected his voice. It travelled to the little guy who has been looking at them with an unconcerned expression.

  Meanwhile, a circular area of the floor with him and the others at its center starts to glow and flicker with bright green light, stunning the little guy, who after confirming the existence of the green glow amidst disbelief, suddenly vanished and after a second reappeared close to the others; floating beside Skylar—hovering above the circular area which is now emitting a bright stable green glow and is now producing a soft and pleasant loud hum which is reverberating across the four corners of the city-wide chamber.

  "Guys, get ready and hold tight." Skylar warned. In the next instant, the green glow formed a cylindrical enclosure around them with the circular area as the base. Then all of a sudden, their figure in the enclosure disappeared the same instant the cylindrical green glow vanished, leaving behind a pit its size and the loud hum that slowly faded and then suddenly ended abruptly.

  And finally,

  Silence returned to the ancient isolation prayer chamber.

  ***

  In the fog above the lair.

  Just at the same time Skylar and his group gathered at the center of the circle, a pair of gigantic eyes imitating the cosmos opened in the fog and in it was the reflection of Skylar and the other which was sooner replaced by the current state of the abandoned ancient isolation prayer chamber—a large pit on the ground replacing the cylindrical glow. And then after about nine seconds, the divine eyes mimicking the cosmos close shut and vanished.
