Canis's heart

[soulping]

The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.

You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .

. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

The ground trembles at your feet, rolls - as if the earth itself were a living being, rising up and down in waves and generally being annoying as fuck to walk on. . . . and yet, because of Devotion, it feels as if you're continually sinking into the rolling earth. Plus, the air feels thick - like you're trying to walk through jelly.

It's very hard, tremendously so. Do you push forward?

[ there are actual goddamn tears going down his cheeks and he tightens his grip on devotion, rubs his thumb against his arm and.

keeps moving forward. ]

The world seems to bend and twist, being generally unhelpful toward Mira's goal. More helpfully, the earth sinks underneath Mira's feet, before opening up to swallow Mira whole, along with Devotion.

It's too late, you've really no choice in the matter. It's far too late to leave now that you've gone this far. I guess this is the end—?

. . . Or is it?
