Chapter 53: The Four Spirits Within

Start from the beginning
                                    

''You old man.'' (???)


?!

There it was again. I tried to find out where that voice was coming from but the people around me didn't seem to care they were almost crushing a small child. 

It didn't take me long until my knees started giving up and I cried for help, ''Hey whoever the hell are you! If you're the reason why I'm here. Get me out of here!''


The voice chuckled in a giggling tone. It was a bit high and this voice... felt somewhat familiar, ''I never knew you were this weak Yoshiko.'' (???)


JUST WHAT IS WITH ME AND THAT NAME?!

Yoshiko. 

It's always Yoshiko. Wherever I go. Don't people get tired or even forget that name? For a [Forgotten Hero]. He sure is memorable.


''You may have lost your memories but rest assured. I'll be deep inside of you. Binding the fates the gods have placed upon you for their amusement and pleasure. I want you to know... I miss you old friend.''


''?!''

Memories?! Gods?! Pleasure?! Old friend?!

Have I gone insane?! 

Do I need a psychiatrist for this?! Wait I'm on earth so that is maybe possible---

''You are not in earth. You are in your mind. I am with you, Old friend.'' (???)


I'm inside my own mind? B-But the people are still rushing and pushing me... Why is that?

''You merely are rushing to seek answers. Take a calm breath and imagine the people stopped rushing. It would be all in your command.'' (???)


I closed my eyes and tried imagining what the voice instructed to... 

I imagined time really has stopped... As a leaf fell from the branch into the ground, I would imagine that it stopped moving and imagined it just floating... I imagined the people would be frozen in place, everything was just dead and I was the only one who can move... 

...

I stopped by to look at these frozen statues of peoples...

I walked to one man who wore a suit with his right hand holding a cellphone to his ear. I waved my hand at him. Expecting any form of response. But... He was just standing there. I began walking back.

When I walked along the road. I began to remember the question. I'm in my own mind?!

''Yes... You are in your own mind. I'm merely visiting my old friend...'' (???)


As the voice echoed through my mind. It felt like the whole place was a cave. I didn't know where the voice came from. I searched left, right, up and down... Nothing. 

''You will not find my physical form. For now. I know you have had 327th lives. This is your 328th. I warned you before. You knew I was deep inside you. I have always been attached to your soul. When you came back to the place where you came from, Earth... Who knew... You would end up as your own descendant? '' (???)
