COLLISION COURSE

You stand stoically in the Light Path doorway. The music you heard fuels the bravery within you to do what comes next.

You notice that Taraheem’s dark energy retreated as soon as you opened the Light door. After it separated from you earlier, it waited outside the door until now. The Light must have been too much for it to bear once the door was opened.

“It’s headed back to the Shadow!” exclaims Harashnu. “We must get to the lock before it does, while Taraheem is slightly diminished missing this portion of energy!”

Before you even have a chance to make a run for it, the door at the other end of the corridor BURSTS open!

The Light energy that Harashnu gave to your alternate self comes retreating out the Shadow Path door.

“Where is your alternate self!?” shouts Harashnu in your mind.

Just then your alternate self appears in the Shadow Path doorway on the other end of the long hallway.

They look like they’ve been fully possessed by Taraheem. They’re heaving in their breathing as if they’re about to explode with rage. A deep, glowing, shadowy presence has completely overcome their countenance.

As the separated portions of Taraheem’s dark energy and Harashnu’s light energy are simultaneously retreating toward their hosts on each end of the corridor, they meet in the middle until…

They collide.
