~this is one of those events we cannot recollect clearly. None of us can tell whether it really happened, much like the entire life in Round 1, the city of Yellow Granite, the night of lust at the waterlily pond by Qarishakat. Just like Fernollg once said, the worlds could be connected by a single thread, like beads; the thread goes round and round, tightened in some places, loosened in others. The infinite ball of twine. Some of the worlds belong only to our minds, some are more than tangible, all equally real and true. Maybe, we assumed, the threads are rather more like wider bands, layered on top of each other. Through the worlds we fall, through the gaps between those bands we pace to and fro. Sneak in, smuggle, escape, desert, harbour. What we remember might have happened in one of the "beads".~
And so it was decided. Madness, we knew it but we were sure that was the only right way. We set off to find the wormholes in the Passage to enter the realm of steppes again, reach the Tae valley to recover what we'd lost. Whom we'd lost out of pride, jealousy, and lust.
She and I, after what we've been through, knew the journey will be full of awkwardness, reminiscing that neither of us wanted to keep our heads clear on the road.
We made a pledge. Not a word must be spoken, neither must we use our inner line. We had to make our way across the hell in silence.
Nax kept saying her prayer aloud, murmuring, one hand on the rope connecting her waist to Maniiv's. She had no wish to be heard but her words drowned in the howling of the icy wind, anyway.
The nightmare was over as the first flickers of light appeared in the distance.
Two steps more, closer to the blessed land.
Our first time in the washroom, in the last... uncountable days.
"I'll be on guard." , Said Nax.
"you don't have to, not here. Believe me, we are safe. "
The woman hesitated though words of argument couldn't be found. There was nothing to bounce against, nor was any morsel of annoyance inside her anymore.
"Our bodies, just look at them. So weird, it seems as if I have forgotten what it's like."
