Part 1 (Book two of "Finding Darkness")

~Astral~

I begun the long process of explaining what happened in Yuma's "dream." Though, that does mean reliving that painful moment when Black Mist caught me and tried to kill me. I also have to explain that Yuma died at some point. There is also the matter of the seven other Agents.

The Agents help me explain that they are in fact Agents (they can tell him since Yuma already knows). They also explain how he came back to life and that this all happened in reality and not in a dream.

"So, if this isn't a dream, then where's Black Mist?" Yuma asks. "I mean, if this is all real, he's bound to be somewhere, right?"

"I do not know. I cannot sense him," I answer.

20 holds up on hand. "Guys, I sense him." She closes her full-aqua eyes. "He's somewhere on the undestroyed side of this place." She opens her eyes and frowns. "I shouldn't sense him, though. He's too smart to let us know where he is."

23 grunts. "Well, whatever the case, I just want to get this over with."

"Patience, 23. There will be a time when all this is over," I tell him. "The time simply has not come yet."

There will be a time, though. All of this will have to come to an end. It must.
