//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: fear VS past // Story: Fast and Ruby at the end of the Stage // by Fast Tap //------------------------------// When we arrived at the school, my friends used the strategy of before of the dog and the cat again, and we looked for Ocellus, we knew that it was by deduction the leader when we found her. I speak to her in a low voice” Pssst, Ocellus, I take time to decide, and I made a choice, I want to be in this group, now” Ocellus yawns “Can't you wait until tomorrow?” I respond “If the morning is to enjoy this moment, in fact, the night is young” “..., you convinced me,”-Ocellus gets out of bed-” If you want to join, go to the library and look for the grid and go in there, our friend will test you, nobody knows what will you face, but it will not let you out if you don't overcome it, good luck, enter when you feel ready, and don't worry, in the morning that friend will tell us if you have done it successfully, that’s all you have to know that, goodnight” With that said, Ocellus went to sleep and we headed towards the grid that told us, we opened it and we watched it for a few seconds on an outside perspective having our normal forms Gallus says “So, here it is, does anyone else remember this?” Silverstream adds “Without a doubt” I agree “My friends told me about their experience there the first time, they had to face their fears, I'm afraid something like this will happen to me if I go alone ...” Gallus sighs “I will go with you, no matter what is going to be down there, we will go out at the end before the sun rises” Silverstream says “I will see that it is not tomorrow, remember, we only have until the sun rises to accomplish this and do the rest of the plan” After that, Gallus and I entered without fear, and we didn't see any one, it was just the cave with crystal roots that I remember, only lonelier... we walked for a while and suddenly we heard a sound coming from behind, and we saw that where we entered, it had covered itself with crystal roots and suddenly it became all dark without being able to see, and for a moment, I felt completely alone ... And I tried call my friend “Gallus! Gallus! Gallus where are you dude!” And suddenly a light fell on me as if it were on a scenario, then a kind of clone my friends appeared, but focusing on what seems to be my friends of my time-line for real, walking and chatting from one side to another, but as nobody noticed me, try to grab one's shoulder, but for some reason, I pierced it and shouted later, but no one listened to me, then the lights went out and everything lit up like the sun, and it seemed like I was home again, on my timeline, I cheerful, but I was also worried and super confused, then those who looked like my friends already listened to me I was kinda happy “Guys, I'm glad to see you” Sadly were hallucinations, one of them says “Yes, haha, mmm ...” I ask, “Does something happen?” Another hallucination responds “who are you? It's the first time we see purple pony...” I blinked and suddenly they disappeared like dust, I had been left alone, without friends, that, and nobody remembers me, I started to cry and cry, suddenly a voice called me Was saying from afar “Fast! Fast!” I respond “Who is there?” His call was heard louder and louder until he noticed that it was Gallus (obviously, who accompanied me), I noticed it by his artifact Gallus come closer to me “Fast, I already discovered what happens here ...” I respond depressed “What? that you can no longer do something to change the future?”” Gallus explains “No, everything here is simply your fear, you will pass the test if you only pass them” I ask “And what is exactly?” Gallus looks around and everything seems normal to him, but very lonely “I would say you don't want to be alone” I explain “And how do you think I will beat it? No one can live alone, you know” Gallus tells “If there is something that I learned in the abysmal abyss, it is that the only thing that limits you it's you, and if you need more help, pretend that I am not here, it's time to overcome that fear by yourself” Just by telling me that, I turned my back and closed my eyes and tried to smile at loneliness It felt like a song in my head “Don't look very happy; and what are you here for?; you walk across a bridge, called strong change. What do you want me to do?; try to go back; you make it look very easy, they were a big part of my life. I lost my friends, now nobody of here knows, oh well; I'm alone as it was in my childhood; Exactly!. Look back sometimes; I know it costs you a lot; But make an effort; You will not regret. Look back sometimes; You lived in an orphanage; Where were you lonely; Is there a change in reality?. Look back sometimes; It all went without help; You don't need friends; Don’t let them be your support. Look back sometimes; When you lose you also win; But you can with this; Dude just trust me. Look back sometimes; Look back sometimes; Look back sometimes; Look back sometimes. Don't you remember in art class?; How not to forget?; I created a mess, but I made a Velázquez. In that platform game ...; ... where I could play with another; I decided not to have it and that game I completed. I think I understand, what you try to tell me, I think; My friends are not always there and I will have to go on my own sometimes. You can do it alone!. Look back sometimes; I know it costs you a lot; But make an effort; You will not regret. Look back sometimes; You lived in an orphanage; Where were you lonely; Is there a change in reality?. Look back sometimes; It all went without help; You don't need friends; Don’t let them be your support. Look back sometimes; Maybe you will cry; But you are going to comfort yourself; But help is accepted. Look back sometimes; Look back sometimes” and I began to smile and in one blink of an eye all that disappeared, I had lived a hallucination, everything except my friend Gallus. I look to Gallus “Thank you Gallus, I owe you a huge” Gallus says “For the phrase that I told you?” I explain “For helping me overcome my fears and teach me accordingly to turn back to trust myself again, I don't know what I would do without you” Then we turned to look back, the grid was on the ceiling where we entered and the crystal roots were leaving and opening the exit giving the signal that the test had been completed, look behind me and there was for less than a second a light that said My name, I and Gallus went quickly to the exit, and the first thing we saw having returned to the library, is our friend Silverstream who had fallen asleep, then we looked out a window, and the sun hadn't yet risen, but that doesn't mean that Ruby will do it after several hours, we wake up to Silverstream carefully and leave school as quickly as possible Silverstream says “Well, we have already done the first thing in the plan, we have made the two groups meet tomorrow, but what now?” I respond “Hmmm, we must make them recover their memory, but I don't know how we can do it, any ideas?” Gallus got one “well, we can do a song that talks about their past, we have plenty of time to create it, so it's the option we have” I like the idea “not a bad idea, with a catchy rhythm, we have it” Silverstream adds “Oh, oh, I have the perfect instrumental, I know how to play music from my artifact” I speak “Perfect, Gallus and I will do the lyrics, you have to do it quickly, I don't know when the sun will rise” From there, we created a song/parody to be able to make others recover their memories
