Chapter Sixty Three: The Endless Search

As it was in the beginning, there was a Swirling Darkness suspended in space. Voices can be heard; whisperings to curiously eavesdrop:

"Have you found it already? I have already told you before to focus on the Eastern side."

"No."

"Then look harder."

"I am trying, okay?"

"You are still not giving it your all. You are the only person who can locate this place, being the Heir of Endorian Magic. You have to recognize the Samuelian Strait from where the prophet responded to the call."

"I have told you before I do not know this Endorian Magic."

"Liar!"

"I am serious. I am not even a Magician or a Wizard or a Witch just like what you are saying. You've got the wrong person to do this job."

"So, how can you navigate the darkness with enough accuracy? What powers are you wielding if not for some variant of strong magic."

"I do not know what you are talking about."

"Then you will have to tell me what I want. You have no other choice but to work for me so we can locate the entrance to that tunnel. Whether or not you agree to my motivations or not is no relevance to me or to you, anymore. You will go where I will tell you."

"I do not know where to go."

"You have to locate this black phoenix, I have told you repeatedly before. Why are you not heeding my instructions?"

"There is no black phoenix to see."

"Liar! You will cease lying through your teeth. I have already warned you of the perilous consequences if you will not cooperate in locating the place that I have been searching for all these years. I will not allow you to sabotage my efforts. I know I am coming close to fruition and nobody can stop me."

"There cannot be any more space and time on this quadrant. Your dimensional details are deeply flawed. This place cannot exist according to the technical details you have provided for this purported location!"

"But . . . Are you sure with what you are saying?"

"I am totally certain. One hundred percent."

"So, someone else must be lying to me."

"Yes. I guess so."

"There is no black phoenix, you said?"

"Yes. Not here, at least."

"Then you must die instantly. I know a traitor when I see one. You traitorous snake!"

"Wait. What? What are you doing? What is this thing?!?!?! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!"

"I have enough of you already. You are a useless thing."
