Puzzles In Darkness: Beginning

by ManRock

  Rutilius looked at Tea, he see’s him trying to fit himself into the fridge but failing and knocking the fridge over. Rutilius said: “I see your point”. Kyzeip said: “answer me, are you feeling warm in here”? Rutilius replied: “now that you mention it does feel as if the fire is real”. Kyzeip changed the area around them to frozen mountain. Rutilius said: “okay now I’m freezing”. Tea shivers while saying: “shit shit shit”! Kyzeip once more changed the area to the ash circle where he first entered the dark cave. Tea says: “how R U doing dat”? Kyzeip said: “with my mind, remember I told you were in my lucid dream”. Rutilius said: “I had no idea you had such a power”. Kyzeip said: “neither did I until just now, this could be what the word create meant when I left the dark cave”. Rutilius said: “oh not this again, can't you just let that horrible place go, we’re done with it”. Tea said: “uhh wat R U’s guy’s takin about”?

  Kyzeip said: “this situation makes some interesting connections to the dark cave, the dark cave me and Ander were in last night. From when I first entered to when I left, everything about the dark cave felt like a dream, now I know how to compare that situation to this”. Rutilius asked: “so what similarity do you feel between the cave and this dream”? Kyzeip said: “a lot really, but what I find more interesting is the fact you two can now feel temperature even when your body's aren't real”. Tea said: “whoa U’s right, how does dis work”? Kyzeip said: “probably the same way how the two of you are able to wear clothes when you're supposed to be a ghost”. Tea asked: “so R U’s saying we should strip”. Kyzeip said: “wrong, what I’m trying to say is that neither of you should have any appearance at all, you both chose appearance subconsciously with your minds, or in other words your imagination”. Rutilius said: “imagination? Do you think we're children (Rutilius looks at Tea for a second) … I mean do you think I’m a child”. Kyzeip said: “I told before were all in a lucid dream, Tea already used his imagination to create a fridge full of beer, why don't you try doing something like that”. Rutilius closed his and started to think, he opened his eyes to see he was now holding a musket. Rutilius pointed the gun at Kyzeip and said: “so if I imagine this hurting you will it become real pain”.

  Kyzeip melted Rutilius’s musket into a puddle, Tea see’s this and said: “ha-ha trigger boner killed”. Kyzeip said: “don't forget you're in my mind, I control the shots. Now back to what I was saying, back in the hotel room you heard Increst talk to me with no way of knowing your existence”. Rutilius replied: “yes I’m fully aware of that”. Kyzeip said: “now tell me if you body was devoured by Broots, how were you able to hear her without any ears”. Rutilius struggled for words to answer Kyzeip's question, Tea just gave a confused look but nodded his head pretending he understands what's going on. Kyzeip continued: “when you lost your physical body it would make sense you lost physical senses as well”. Rutilius said: “hold on are you trying to say me Mr. Arry are not ghost but figments of your imagination again”. Kyzeip replied: “I haven't let go of that possibility, but what I’m theorising it that instead of ghost and spirits existing in this world, it's actually something more overlooked”. Tea said: “don't swallow, spit it out, I’s wants two no already”. Kyzeip said: “haven't you been following to what I'm saying, both of you are not ghost, you're both your own minds manifested into electric waves”.

  Rutilius said nothing but gave a blank expression, Tea said: “da fuck man R U high”. Kyzeip explained: “for starters all five sense of the body connects to the brain with electric shock messages, every action we make is the result of our brains sending those electric shocks back and forth. If both of you have those sense, then it means your brain wave activists are still active but outside of your body and in my mind. I’m more certain that the both of you die physically, but your brains send out all of your electric data into the air and it's being picked up by my brain”. Rutilius said: “Savage are you claiming my soul to be nothing more than, than, whatever electrical data is”. Kyzeip said: “it’s exactly what I’m saying, I’m a full lighting user, I’ve studied everything I can involving electricity and learning about brain waves using synchronised electrical pluses wasn't hard. Brain Waves can already travel a very small distance outside of the skull, but without a skull it appears your brainwaves left your body and entered mine”.

  Tea said: “wow, U R givin my’s brain a blowjob right now”. Rutilius asked: “okay I admit it sounds like you have done your research, but I’m still confused as to how you are able to pick up our brain waves”? Kyzeip replied: “that part is still too vague for me to give a proper explanation, all I really know it has something to do with that dark cave that's for sure. I still think it could've been an illusion made by my mind, but I have bite marks on my arm that disagree with that. I still consider you two to also be part of my imagination, but I'm too aware of that possibility, if that was true your purpose of existence would have become meaningless a long time ago”. Rutilius said: “so me and Mr. Arry aren't ghost and certainly not part of your imagination, we’re just part of our own imagination”.

  Kyzeip said: “now you're catching on, how about you Tea, any of this sinking in”. Tea said: “nah not really, but I’s still like it”. Rutilius said: “so if we’re not spirits but brain waves that continue to exist outside our body, then why aren't there more like us”? Kyzeip said: “you rise a really good point, there was Broot invasion just yesterday, hundreds had died and yet, the only one here who could have seen what happened was Tea”. Tea said: “who me”? Kyzeip said: “answer me, were you anywhere near the carnage when the Broots invaded the town”. Tea replied: “oh ya, but I’s ran away like crazy, I’s be scared bro, no way I’s be staying in dat”. Kyzeip said: “in other words you saw nothing”. Tea nodded his head to agree with Kyzeip. Rutilius said:” so we have no clue as to why me and Mr. Arry are like this”. Kyzeip said: “that's isn't exactly true, excluding you I have an idea as to how Tea became the pure brain as he is now. Earlier Tea said he found himself in this state after blacking out at a party, I'm I right”. Tea said: “it was one awesome party two bro”. Kyzeip said: “if you really died without ever knowing about it, then it must be possible that your brain didn't recognized its own death. It's either that or someone could have done something to you when you weren't consensus”.

  Tea said: “whoa, wat U’s talkin about, someone doing something two me, I’s ain't not some rape toy”. Rutilius said: “oh god isn't it asking too much for you to think before you start running your mouth”. Kyzeip angrily said: “you should be careful with Rape word around me, my mother was raped for your information”. Tea apologized to Kyzeip quickly and Rutilius said: “well you sure know how to kill the mood”. Kyzeip said: “enough of that, back to what I was saying, I think there might be another party involved in all of this, and no Tea I don't mean literally party if you're wondering”. Rutilius said: “then who do you think is involved in this”? Kyzeip said: “most likely someone who knows about the dark cave, without a doubt somebody made that statue puzzle, and it most likely they know more about what's going on”.

  Tea ask: “wat's dis dark cave U’s been talkin about, I’s wants two no two”. Kyzeip changed the area again to the dark room with the puzzle and Broots. Tea said: “whoa, dis be fuckin freaky”. Kyzeip said: “they won't if you don't let them, back to topic, look at these statutes, does any of this remind you of anything”. Tea replied: “nah bro, I’s gets nothing from dis freaky place”. Kyzeip said: “then we're just goanna have to find out how you became a pure brain some other day”. Rutilius asked: “I'm curious as to why you call us pure brains now instead of forgotten spirits”? Kyzeip replied: “because I just establish that the two of you are vessel-less brain waves and I choose to believe in something more scientific than mythical”. Tea said: “so wat U’s figured out anything else bro”. Kyzeip said: “no there's still too many missing pieces for me to give a proper theory”. Rutilius said: “well I say you did give an interesting presentation know if you don't mi
nd I’ll like to share my life story with you”. Tea said: “nah dude I’s wants two make some fun with this dream”. Tea proceeds to turn himself into a female and starts playing around with his boobs, Kyzeip on the other hand didn’t care at all to what Rutilius have to share and went back to looking around the dark cave to hopefully find another clue. The three ended up spending the rest of Kyzeip’s lucid dream doing whatever the wanted to.

  Chapter: 9 Return Into the Night

  Kyzeip woke up from his sleep and sees Maxizz cleaning up a mountain of magic trick props off the floor. Maxizz notices Kyzeip and said: “hey sleepy head, did you get a good rest”. Kyzeip said: “somewhat, did something happen when I was asleep”? Maxizz said: “no not really, I woke up myself a few hours ago with a horrible headache but it's all good now. Increst is taking a shower and I notice before Rolando left he was staring at you in your sleep, he's probably still needs to cool off from yesterday, how about you have you, decided to let things go”. Kyzeip replied: “I don't need to answer that question”. Maxizz said: “I’ll take that as a no than, hey if you're going to leave try not to step on any of my stuff, a lot of these can exploded on impact”. Kyzeip said: “is all that yours, don't tell me kept all this junk in your suit”. Maxizz relied: “I’m afraid so, I just glad we didn’t go through a check up at the connection center, because this would have taken about a half an hour to put back”.

  Kyzeip stood up and walked to the door, he said to Maxizz: “I’ll leave things to you”. Kyzeip leaves and heads outside where the sun was already setting. Rutilius said: “so are you really going to walk in the night, isn’t there anything else you can do”? Kyzeip thought: “I have some errands to do, if you don't like tagging along with me than go somewhere else or stay behind here with Tea until I come back”. Rutilius said: “wait a minute where did Mr. Arry go to”. Kyzeip replied: “he headed off to the bathroom as soon as he heard Increst was taking a shower”. Rutilius said: “that doesn’t seem to surprise me”. Just than Tea’s voice was heard: “yo wait up, I's coming two”. Kyzeip thought: “has Increst finished her shower”. Tea replied: “hell yeah she’s did, oh U’s should have seen da tattoos she has on her body, it was like awesome”. Kyzeip thought: “remember to keep that image in mind for the next time I have a lucid dream”. Tea replied: ‘I’s got it bro”. Rutilius shakes his head down in shame mumbling the words “filthy animals”, Kyzeip then starts to walk off into town. Rutilius said: “Savage, you said you had some errands to do, mind telling us what they are”. Kyzeip thought: “first I need to order a new knife because I forgot to pick up the one I threw back in the dark cave. Second, I'm going to buy a journal to document all my theories related to the dark cave and pure brains. After that I plan on exploring all other town to find another pure brain, hopefully one that will be more useful”.

  Tea said: “awesome bro, U’s use knives as a Slayer, how does U’s use it”? Kyzeip said: “primary I throw my knives by charging the blade with a negative electric magnetic field and my glove with a positive magnetic field. That causes both the knife and glove to attract towards each other, but when I throw I change the polarity of my glove to be negative. The magnificent field I create can be strong enough to hold my entire body to the bottom of a thin sheet of metal approximately six millimeters thick. That kind of magnetic power could send my knife flying at Mach speed with the repel force”. Tea said: “holy shit dat sounds awesome, I’s didn't not understand much of wat U’s said, but I’s still thinks it's awesome”. Rutilius said: “observe, there's no way even a Savage like you could be that dangerous”. Kyzeip thought: “believe it or not I haven't even reached the full potential as a full user yet”. Rutilius asked: “just how much more of a menace can you be”. Kyzeip thought: “let me explain it like this, there are three tiers of element Crystal users. Right now as the way I am, I'm only a second tier”. Rutilius asked: “second tier, how do you know that, and what's the difference between each tier”? Kyzeip thought: “funny how Slayers were only for humans and yet you of all people don't know a thing about them”. Tea said: “da fuck did U’s no dat”. Kyzeip gave no response to Tea’s comment just now.

  Kyzeip continued to explain the tiers of the element Crystals: “first is first tier, it doesn't matter if you're a full user or a multi user, the effects are always the same in this tier. By that I mean all first tier is good for it releasing massive amount of the element it named after, the main issue with first tier is the durability of the crystal. The durability of element Crystals is actually extremely high, a small one centimeter water Crystal marble in the hands of a third tier user can release enough water to fill up two swimming pools. But in the hands of a first tier the same one centimeter water Crystal marble can just fill up a bucket before breaking apart, because of this more diluted element Crystals are used by first tier”. Rutilius asked: “diluted Crystals? how do you dilute a Crystal”? Kyzeip answered: “a broken off chunks of the transport Crystal are able to absorb the elements power into its own, thus creating lower grade element Crystals”.

  “Next is second tier, the one I’m currently in, at this point second tiers are efficient enough to reuse element Crystals. But that's not the only thing second tiers are able to do, me for example I can use the lightning crystals in my knife to do several unique duties. Creating a magnet fields is only one example, another would be the ball of lightning you saw me used in the dark cave”. Tea said: “shit dat sounds like awesome, how does it look like”? Kyzeip continued: “normally it's a rare phenome were static in the air form into a literally ball of lightning, I am able to recreate it into a small ball in my hand. That attack uses high amounts electricity and it's normally only good enough to take out a Broot one at a time, if I ever lose all knifes I would use that attack as a last resort”. Rutilius said: “but you used it almost right away back in the cave”? Kyzeip thought: “that's because the Broots exploded immediately upon touch, because of that I didn't need to use extra power to recharge the ball of lightning after killing each Broot. I can charge my knife instead with less electricity and it will just as deadly as the ball of lightning“. Rutilius said: “huh if that's true why didn’t you do that back in the cave”. Kyzeip thought: “because it I do it for too long my knife will heat up and even melt, why do you think I like to throwing them so much”. Tea said: “ha-ha dat sounds awesome”.

  Kyzeip continued: “those are some examples of what a second tier can do, now for the best tier a Slayer can be, third tier. Like I said before the efficiently of a third tier is astronomically high, but not only that, a third tier can control the element even when it didn’t come from the crystal. This can also be done with second tier but third tier takes it to a new level, when I become a third tier I will be able to determine the spot a natural lightning bolt will strike and even move a ball of lightning away from my body as long as I have a Crystal on me. For other elements water users can control the water in plants, Broots and other living beings. Fire user burn a flame that will incinerated almost anything, even some weak metals. Earth users can control metal like a second tier and even harden any stone or metal without increasing its density. Wind users can form and control miniature sized tornados that can last for hours. Finally, my favourite, freeze users can freeze everything in the area around them including the air to absolute zero, which is so cold even time slows down”.

  Tea asked: “wat, freezes is U’s favourite why not use it, it sounds awesome two me”. Kyzeip replied: “I already choose to be a lightning user and once a Slayer choose to be a full user it becomes difficult to change”. Rutilius asked: “how so”? Kyzeip replied: “with BER Body.Energy. Resemines, it’s what actives the element Crystals. BER is like a brainwave that leaks outside the skull, BER covers the complete outside of a Slayer’s body at a small radius. It's been estimated to be between fifteen to eighty centimeters from first tier to second, at third tier the BER radius becomes immeasurable. There are two things BER does, the main purpose of BER is of course bonding the Slayer with
the element crystal to make it part of our own body, but each element is different so BER changes with the element. Because of this full user like me have trouble adjusting to a different element, as for multi user they stay at first tier far longer than a full user, it's never been documented that a multi user has reached third tier in history”.

  Rutilius said: “are you serious Savage, the way you made third tier sound, it almost sounds like a multi users are losing out”. Kyzeip replied: “Multi user exchange power for variety, it a fair trade considering it's common for Slayer to not choose what type of Slayer they become”. Tea said: “wat U’s mean bro”? Kyzeip explained: “element Crystals and BER work just like a part of the body, it would be unnatural to force a right handed man to write with his left hand, that is what it’s like for Slayers”. Rutilius said: “I see, I guess it's a bit unfortunate for some Slayer if they didn’t get to be the Slayer they wanted to be I guess”. Kyzeip continued: “not true, all Slayers have choice to determine what element or user they become, but they often follow what syncs up best with their BER, in uncommon to go against the natural feel. On another note, there's one other big difference between a full user and a multi user if you would like know”. Tea and Rutilius both were curious to know the difference. Kyzeip explains: “multi users use up an entire Crystal right away so its most optimal for them to use guns rather than melee weapons. The gunpowder in the element Bullets suppress the Crystal from releasing its element until it stabilizes impact. Not only that, the guns multi users have are usually modified to change for the different types of bullets. For example, wind and fire bullets work best when fired from a shotgun, while lightning and water perience better with a sniper. Remember when Increst was practicing with her guitar, that was a modify gun in discuss, it transforms into a Gatling like weapon with slightly different sized barrels to accommodate with the bullets”. Tea said: “shit is dat for reals, U’s and grape hair needs two hook up”.
