Chapter 24 - A Strange Turn

In a large chamber occupied like an army ready for war by thousands of giant snakes of different species, a conclusion taken from their different forms, colors and sizes; a green large serpent watch with almost an 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 its audience in the chamber, a place prepared for the contraption. Following this creature was a strangely attractive golden rat about three and a half meters tall, flagged by a small unicorn-like creature with a full 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 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 will still turn out this way"

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

Not long after the furry creature in the arms of this young man disenged themself from him by jumping nimbly out of the young man's arms, and like they are weightless landed on top of the shoulder of the big black creature, already mentioned, under the dim spotlight. 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 situation.

"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 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 two dear and reliable partner reuniting.

And like this Skylar's and his roomies watched as the green serpent and their former partner turned and gracefully exit the chamber side by side, through probably the VIP exit prepared, and the atmosphere between them as they live naturally warm and friendly.

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

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

(Squeak "Will she be alright, she left with her")

"Why worry, she is probably in a better position than us. Let us just focus on ourselves for now"

Skylar responded as two white beautiful giant snakes, standing out amidst the giant snakes barricade slithered towards them.

Green bitch where are you going to put us now...

Skylar thought as the two white snakes escorted 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 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 pass that can clearly fit a titanic, leading into a familiar space behind it.

This is it (mocking laughter)... After everything, she still sent us here(mocking laughter)... this is really hilarious(mocking laughter)...

Skylar after seeing the door open, thought as he also laughed out loudly disregarding the various stares directed at him.

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

Raftelia hiding her emotions thought with a clenched fist as 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 stunned behind, 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 stunned Skylar kissed him on his cheek sneakily and quickly withdraw.

"Fu.k why is a bitch dirtying my precious skin with dirty saliva. So fucking annoying"

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

Skylar hurriedly after wiping thoroughly the spot that was kissed on his skin walked away from the scene through the gap between the doors, is expression clearly now 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 stunned in front of it.

***

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

Raftelia, the big guy and the little guy watched attentively with varying expressions as the figure of Skylar go from places to places in front of the four colossal walls of their room, 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 which followed the confused human with a frown on his face as he run like an idiot to the distant opposite wall.

(Squeak "He has been doing this for a very long time now... What is Sky trying to achieve")

Raftelia with a confused expression questioned, a question he hoped we reach Skylar and who will kindly provide them an explanation for his strange actions.

Skylar who has been doing his stuff in front and on the wall while ignoring his comrades burning with curiosity stopped, disengage his hand from the wall and turned his back to that wall with a bright smile on his face.

Then the group watched as Skylar made his way to the center of the kilometers wide territory and took a seat on the black crystal floor in a lotus position. Doing his green glow stuff.

What's Sky up to this time...

Its time... This should do it...

Sky thought as he opened his closed eyes and the green spiritual glow on his body and the spot where he made contact with the floor subsided.

"Everyone come around, we are leaving"

He said as he motioned with is hand, giving a vague answer to raftelia inquiry in her mind. Then she and the big guy complied with Skylar's directive.

They walked towards him and took their spots right behind him, and at the same time give great attention to his expression while looking forward in good faith to his next action.

"Little guy, i will leave you here, or do you want to stay?"

As a circular area of the floor underneath Skylar and the others glow and flicker with bright green light with them at the center, his voice drifted to the little guy who has been looking at them with an unconcerned expression until the green glow appeared on the black crystal floor.

The stunned little guy after confirming the existence of the green glow, suddenly vanished and after a little time appeared close to the others; floating beside Skylar on the circular area which is now emmitting a bright stable green glow and producing a soft and pleasant loud hum which is reverberating across the four corners of the room.

(Pleasant loud hum)

"Guys, get ready and hold tight"

Skylar warned as the green glow formed a cylindrical enclosure around them with the circular area as the base.

Suddenly their figure in the enclosure disappeared and the cylindrical green glow along with the loud hum faded slowly then suddenly vanished like it was never there.

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 vanished, a pair of gigantic eyes imitating the cosmos opened in the fog and in it was the reflection of Skylar fading's figure which was sooner replaced by the current state of the abandoned ancient isolation prayer chamber. And then after about nine seconds the supreme eyes closed and vanished.
