THE SLIDE Part 4

Chapter 53: Three Rivals

Fantasy: Up is Down / Down is Up — Confusion Before the Fall

Recap

Hrez stood with a lance in his right hand. Zed appeared with a broadsword and shield in the rubble of the Normandy Castle and the Slide shimmering in the distance. Zed ran with the broadsword extended forwards straight towards Hrez.

Report/Update: Dimensions, Realities, Worlds…

Dimension One — Destroyed Third Dimension — All eight in the second light ring around the central figure in an intense beam of yellow-white light, linked together and broadcasting love.

Second World — [“Ever chew a toothpick? It gets shredded and splinters into many fragmented duplicates of itself.” Dimensions and worlds, according to Kuzma.] This happened in the Second World. Some parts were lost while others remained. The plane flown by Kuzma remained. The two (light and dark) Ouroboros-es crashed into one another on the surface of the crater’s lake. When they emerged, a cloud of steam obscured their resurrection. Fifth World — the difference between the second world and the fifth was Zed’s merged state with the sub transformed into the plane. Parts of the second and fourth worlds were merging with the Fifth World.

Fourth Reality — unknown parts of the third dimension merged with the fourth reality on the way to the fifth world.

The Realm within the Zed-Plane (continued)

Hrez stood with a lance in his right hand. He was shocked. Zed appeared with a broadsword and shield in the rubble of the Normandy Castle. Hrez was in the transdimensional world of the dark Ouroboros space, having stepped out of the safe zone into the dragon’s breath. Zed peered into Hrez’s space when the shimmering Slide divided them. Zed ran with the broadsword extended forwards straight towards Hrez despite the Slide barrier.

As Zed ran into the Slide barrier, his once shining broadsword turned black. Despite Hrez’s disappearing and reappearing defensive posturing, the black broadsword found Hrez’s abdomen and ran him through. All the light drained from him and the sword was ripped out of Hrez’s midsection upward with tremendous force. He watched as the light was drawn out of his body and dissolved. The excess black sludge became refuse with an odious rancidity. It formed a cloud filled with dust that took on the cyclone shape of the vortex. The black dust whipped into Zed’s eyes. He screamed and ran out of the realm and fell down, weaving in and out of the beam of light to the crater’s lake.

Hrez, Ra, Zed

Hrez pulled in on himself, cradled in a fetal position surrounded by a black atmosphere. He rose and drifted into the light beam that was at the exact center of the vortex and began a slow ascent.

One quarter of the way down, Zed tore at his eyes as his body zig-zagged through the beam of light. A protective tube formed through eclipses of fire still burning from the exploded plane where Ra, Kuzma, and Maria were missing. He collided with Ombolo in a geyser of water that originated in the lake. Ombolo took Zed into her loving ninth tentacle — the longest of the tentacles and wrapped him safely into her world. The geyser dissipated slowly until they both were fully immersed into the water of the lake.

Ra elongated himself within the light beam and flung his own light, blended with the flames and the highly refined from the beam. These actions created an elongated ecliptic egg shaped field on its side rotated. Within the rotational field, with Ra’s chi at the center, were two near perfect spheres of fire and light. One sphere rotated opposite the other. Inside one was Maria, and the other was Kuzma.

Hrez’ ascent upwards in the beam of light increased in speed. All his pettiness, dislikes, angers, rages, greed, loathing, avarice, hubris, and hatreds were releasing except for a feedback loop that sucked them back into his habit riddled body. The light beam was darkening.

Ra

Elongated himself along with his light from the third dimension between the oscillations of the central figure and the woman that sought the center. He found a flickering space between the dualistic polarizing pair to ground to Earth. The rest is easy; he told the third-dimensional others. As with all things of spirit, elongating the light of his essence to the top of the vortex was done without effort — guided by Great Spirit, or so he thought. He looked up within his own light and felt it touch the edge of the event horizon.

Hrez

He felt the circuit that had begun with Ra connect and complete. Hrez, completely darkened and almost all evil, stood consumed by the dark black beam on the mirror opposite of the crater’s lake. Hrez, the dark one, was surrounded in a Sixth Dimensional space with eight ObzKotch warriors. They served the dark force, connected by Ra’s light in order to obliterate it. The ultimate battle where the light of Earth would be extinguished forever was at hand.
