Apparition

~10 Part 3~

(Moro's POV)

I don't actually have my own experiences with Darkness, but from what I could tell from Lloyd's mind and briefly looking through Lindsey's, this isn't what I was picturing at all.

It's a long dark pathway, instead of walls, they're extremely tall hedges. It extends endlessly on both sides. I stare to the left and walk a few steps before stopping and turning around to face the right.

There's nothing here. Not a single door or opening or anything. It just goes on and on.

It's dark and confusing. It's hard for me to know where I'm going in here. This doesn't make any sense to me. How can her brain not have any activity going on? Where are her memories?

She obviously knows how to navigate her own mind so it's probably not confusing for her at all. She knows where everything is kept, but how is it all hidden?

I continue down the path, following to the left since I already started that way.

"Maybe if I continue for longer, something will appear or I'll get a clue as to what to do in here."

I take off running down the path, keeping my eyes peeled for a door or turn, something for me to follow.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion when all I continue to see is thick dark green foliage. I stop and turn around again, facing the opposite direction. Maybe I was supposed to go the other way.

I take off running again in the other direction, quickly glancing side to side for any sign of anything.

There's nothing! Absolutely nothing!

I groan in frustration and slow my pace until I come to a stop again. No matter which way I look, all I can see is an endless path in both directions.

Maybe if I get a look from above.

I shoot out my wind to act like blasters and lift up from the ground. I get the tip of hedges before they suddenly grow up even higher. My element jolts to a stop to match my surprise, but I quickly recover and lift higher. Maybe just my imagination.

But it happens again. Once I'm near the top of the walls, they grow making it impossible for me to see over.

"How is her brain doing this? How it is this protective of itself? How does she know I'm here? What is she hiding?"

I return to the ground and the walls return to their original height.

I turn in circles to make out anything useful, but all I'm left with is an endless path as far as the eye can see.

I let a frustrated scream and lean against one of the walls. I need to come up with a new strategy or else I'm gonna have to stop possessing her without the info I'm looking for.

I look to the wall across from me and quirk an eyebrow when I notice a shadow casted over a section of it. The shadow looks like how it would be if there was a wall covering half of its side, but there's nothing there.

Where's this light source coming from? What shadow is it projecting?

I push myself off the wall and walk towards the opposite on. I reach out and touch the shadow and then turn to see what's being reflected, but nothings there.
