21 Gateless Gate (1/2)

'All advanced slowly but surely...

The first step, taken by the left leg is completed...'

Beazly, ”Now the right leg, make sure everybody moves in the same motion!!”

'They did...

As the tip of the toes of their legs were about to hit the Gate...

It magically passed it..'

Sebastin shouted loudly. ”IT'S HAPPENING!!! We're going into the gate..”

Oumad. ”Don't stop now! keep on moving...”

'As everyone felt surreal going through the Gate, with smiles in their faces..'

Herald said. ”Guys....I can see you all going through..

But i am not!!!”

'Beazly was holding Herald's hands with his right one, the surreal feeling of passing through the Gate made him forget that the one next to him, isn't doing the same..'

Beazly. ”WAIT, STOP EVERYBODY!!

”Let's get back, Herald isn't coming through for some reason!”

'Everybody stopped and tried to get back, but..'

Oumad. ”Herald! I want to get back but my movement is blocked brother!

try to pull us out.”

'Beazly again tried with his immense power but to no use...

Herald tried to do so, but couldn't shake none of them.'

”I cannot do so man, it seems like once you get through the Gate you cannot get back..”

'All 6 had parts of their bodies already through the gate, but their heads were still on the outside of The Castle.'

Ayla. ”What are we going to do now?”

Joshou. ”Some of us got to pass the Gate and investigate what's happening, and maybe bring some help if we could.

Me, Beazly and Ayla will do so, for obvious reasons.

The rest i hope you don't mind being stuck for a little time, we'll make it quick.”

Herald. ”Okey i second this..”

Beazly. ”Good idea, hang in here we won't be late.”

Beazly,Ayla and Joshou all let go of the hands they were holding and went through the Gate.

Oumad. ”What if they didn't get back?”

Herald. ”Well, you got to go on all 3 of you.

I will find a way out of here.”

Oumad. ”That is not certain, i cannot leave you here alone.”

Herald. ”Well let's hope the others figure it out.”

Sebastin. ”Where are these goddamn Majestic Guardians?!

All this trouble and we still haven't met them...”

Herald. ”Guiado is a trusted man, but he's also under the Atlantean's Association.

His words can be derived to other meanings. Like i said, it's all a test.”

Suddenly, Erala said ”Let me try something..”

'Herald noticed that Elara still held on to his hands even when being stuck and put in a very weird uncomfortable situation.

The Gate is putting no pressure on their bodies though, it doesn't cause them any pain.'

'Elara focused her beautiful blue eyes straight towards the Gate, opening them wide open as much as possible.. At the same time, held really tight to Herald's hands.'

'The Gate started getting deformed, holes appeared on its surface..

As if the illusion started to fade away..'
