Chapter 14

I’m Omni Gonna Say This Once

My mind became aware again. Though for some reason, I couldn’t open my bloody eyes. At least that was my first thought. After further inspection l came to realize I had no body, just a consciousness, floating in a sea of nothingness. Not really my favorite kind of realization. Lucky for me, I’d danced this dance before long ago when I’d transcended so I knew there was hope. Worryingly, I didn’t have Ogun here this time. Perhaps Ialos, or even Jezai, when he arrived, would be able to bail me. Or… Shit! My memories, they were back!

I rejoiced as much as a disembodied consciousness could. Before the anger hit like a tidal wave. Those sly bastards! They were playing me this whole time. Fucking Vakuna! The dirty ball sacks even had the cheek to fucking rename me!

Then guilt rolled into town. Oh, shit! My eyes were all over Ialos like a starving man at a buffet. Ember was going to kill me if she ever found out. But… it wasn’t my fault, right? I never acted on it. For that matter, where the hell was Ember? What the hell had they done with everyone? Goddamn it! Shit was really going to kick off when I got back to my body.

I started wracking my incorporeal brain for ideas on how to get back to my body. What the hell did Ogun do? No fucking clue, I despaired. He was another one who played his cards close to his chest.

The bond! That had to be it, it connected me to my body as far as I knew. I concentrated on the grey bond that connected my mind to my physical body, and to my absolute delight it appeared in front of me in the infinite darkness. I wasn’t sure what to do now, I’d only ever thickened and thinned it out before. As I thought about traveling back to its source, the bond shivered and I got the distinct impression of movement.

I was wracked with doubt as to whether I was actually moving or not. After some time, I eventually coasted back into my Mindscape. Unfortunately, I returned back deep within my Subconscious. Though this time it was different; as soon as I landed down on the floor of my mind, the golden light flowed around me.

“Well done for returning! That was quite the explosion and I couldn’t hold on to you.”

“Who the fuck is this?” I shouted angrily.

“I am you,” the voice replied seriously.

“Hardy ha ha! You’ve all fucked with me long enough. Who is this speaking?”

“This is your Mindscape. Can you feel any other presence here but yours?”

“Uhm.” I reached out with my senses. The bastard was right. My mind was clear of any intrusion. “Well then me, you better start explaining how you can be me when I’m me!”

“This is where it gets interesting,” the voice said. “Because technically, you are me. I’ve been around for quite a while you know.”

“Don’t fuck me about with riddles, get to the point.
