Into the white space...

Walking pass grassy land, soon the ground under her feet turned rough.

I-rangris glanced at the stony path finding out horse shoes prints. There were three types thick shoes, thin and slim. Plus there were also heavy boots and long lines as thou cart wheels has passed by.

"Maybe if I follow these tracks it might lead me to the directed spot" thought I-rangris as she took that way.

Crossing a long track, top of the hill she came out of the forest in front a wide plains with only grasses covering far distance as the eyes could see. However, a sight froze her. For the first time she saw a huge wall of 70 meter high symboling as a defense fort with a gate opened in the center. The walk path ran in two different directions left and right, distance making it small till a inwards turn could be seen, guessing the wall angle could appear like the border of a box.

"Where is this place?" wondered I-rangris. "Thick forest and huge walls. A man with a crest IN his eyes. Just how much weird can life get here".

Pacing on straight towards the wall "afterall, a place neraby should be giving a hint of other people around. Roaming around lost won't help alone ....." was all I-rangris could say to keep herself away from panicing.

Arriving near the gate, an expecting scene took place. Normally, the next side would akways be greeting however, here was......

"It's a white sheet...." exclaimed I-rangris "nothing is seen. Is there no opposite?...."

She stood there hesitating to even lift a muscle any further. The only idea that grew in her head was to return to the forest, search for the wierd eyes instructor and explain him the scene, in hope perhaps, he might answer the situation.

The moment she took this choice in hand and turned "Help me....." a voice whispered in her ears.

"Huh?" there was no one in the plain. Just the daylight brightening and the afternoon with the wind blowing.

"Did I..... did I just hear something? Or it's the surrounding that's driving my mind crazy..." she stared at the sky when again it whispered "Please.... help me".

"NO!" shocked the girl as goosebumps shivered her "I am not imagining..... it is real...... someone is calling. I CAN hear a voice but, from where is it coming from?....." She turned back to the gate "could it be from behind this scene?"

The white sheet was the calling direcrtion but, it was just blank white space then how could a sound whisper from here?

I-rangris lifted her palm, placed it on the space, there was a transperant barrier on the space. When she pressed her hand, it got absorbed inside.

Ah! she pulled it out hesitating. There was a barrier ahead of white space and yet someone could acutally enter it.

This was all getting insane. Will she have to enter into the unknown. No clues or hint where it leads.

''I can't do that.... it's worrying me'' she said inwards.

Standing there with puzzle minded, thinking whether to enter or not again the voice came ''Please..... help me.....'' It startled her. ''Again its heard ...'' said the girl ''then...'' she picked up her guts and stepped front saying ''I must try it on''.

Streching her both arms front, shutting her eyes, she took a step and jumped in. Smoothly like butter, she got absorbed into the void. Not knowing where it would lead. I-rangris still kept her eyes shut. In hope she could feel something get caught in her palm. She stayed in her pose frightened and shivering in terror.

Suddenly, she felt ground under her feet. She stood on earth finally there was something.

As she opened her eyes hoping for somelight but, instead a horrible scene awaited her.

''Oh dear! What is this?'' she exclaimed in fear.

A burned land, with dried trees, cracked earth, lifeless atmosphere and red sky. No air or breeze could be sensed just dust in the breath.

''Did this land go on war...... or something?'' asked the girl looking around for some life source.

Suddenly, a hint of an idea came in her mind, she twisted herself turning back. In hope there could be the white space that pulled her in but, every hope and thought was shattered into pieces.

There was no void behind her just a huge door shut tight with no passing of air.

''Wha...... what is going on here? Why are such things happening?'' Anxeity, panicing all were send cold her spine. She was getting horrified and started trembling.

Nothing was relating with each other. One strange event was occuping after the other.Tears won't work at this situation cause there was no one to support it, no one to rub it and no one to help around, leaning on the gate, I-rangris exhaled several times calming herslf. She send her glance on top of the gate saying ''The gate is locked and out of no where I entered''.

She turned to the burned land growing worried ''There, this land is all burned away, no life source but, to think about it the call of help was heard from here. That means'' taking her steps on she started walking further into the died land in hope that maybe just maybe there will be no, there IS a life source here.

Among damaged houses and died land only one living being paced on.

I-rangris the girl who was brought to an unknown world, strange incidents one after the other occured till finally she stepped into a land of no life all burned up.

Steps after paces, heading on I-rangris stopped and took a turn inside a passage. Crossing a narrow road, she stepped out in wide range of land but, here something awaited.

''Ahh! What is this!'' horrified the girl.These were statues not just one but, hundreds to thousands of them. All around the place. Their expression were read on their faces. Screaming, terror and pledge for help.

''Why?! dropoed the girl on her kness holding her head crying in terror ''why is this happening? Why is everything going worse to worse? There isn't any hope in here. There isn't any life then..... then why am I brought here?." Covering her face with her hands she collasped on the ground crying, sobing and sniffing in tears.

Suddenly, she heard steps from behind approaching ''what are you doing there?'' she heard.
