Something crawled out of this crater and for a moment, Kideme wondered if it was going to be some incarnation of the hairy shadow they were faced with before being spawned here. Atop the pool and with a slight bird's eye view, she framed her brow with her right hand while squinting to get a better look. The light that bathed that area and seemingly this newly spawn entity was bright and strangely invasive. Yet not.

But when this entity finally became clear enough to make out, she stifled back a gasp. Tiatsu? She could hardly believe it. It took a fair bit of probing for her to glance to the side at the others. Were they seeing him as well? But why? Was it because he'd died here? She didn't know.

All she did know though was that an enigmatic sequence of feelings and stimuli was happening around her. The place had become cold which played at her naturally high body temperature. She felt heavy and weighted down yet somehow weightless in a sense that wasn't quite physical. Kideme could hear Shien's voice, and he vocalized what she thought.

Suddenly Tiatsu was turning red and whatever it was, it was mixing with the blue and in that moment to follow, the organized chaos came to a halt, apart from the light. Then in that moment came a noise that was so abrasive and hurtful to her ears, Kideme clapped her hands to her ears and sank into a crouch, shaking from the torturous vibrations and frequencies. And this carried on for five minutes.

Five minutes of hell. She couldn't do anything but try to protect her ears and wait and hope for it to be over. Once it actually was, and she looked up, the silence was deafening and unnerving. Kideme looked up to see Tiatsu bathed in redness and a bit of blue. Red all over his body but of blue heart and mind.

But now as a backdrop was a judge's gavel with an accompanying platform on the left, the minotaur-like being on the right and the yin yang symbol above his head.

Kideme felt like she was going slightly crazy at seeing this, but she tried to make sense of what she was witnessing. What did they mean? Blue, the color of serenity and sadness. Cold. Red, of anger, passion and aggression. Heat.

But what of the other things? Yin and Yang stood for balance. If Kideme had to guess, the beast could have been analogous to red, while the gavel would be to blue. But perhaps it was more literal? Things of nature...made by man, versus man, who was but a witness to nature? Or was this more indicative of what they would face? Were they having to choose their fate in this strange world?

Instinctively, Kideme looked toward the beast. Was he freed from his binds? Or was he, like possibly Tiatsu, an astral projection?

Dear Siddhartha. Help them.
