When I approach the door to Aeths house, I hesitate. What if this kills me? What if Aeth just drives a knife through my chest as soon as I open the door. That shouldn’t happen, I need to move forward or I'll accomplish nothing. I must get to Lord Christmas. I put my hand on the doorknob…
…Where am i!? It’s like hell! Pure red and white! Swirling into rising stars! This isn’t meant for me! ….aaahhhhh! The booms are deafening! I stand still and I feel nothing on the ground. Who is Aeth?! I’m falling now! I’m falling with the rising stars! Passing through everything! I need to live! I can’t die already! …Lord Holiday needs me!!! I need to stay calm… I can live! I was meant to be alive! The will to live is the will to live is the will to live is the will to live... The will to live is the will to live…! Aaaaahhhh! Aaaaahhhhhhh!
Suddenly, I appear outside Aeths house, completely distraught. I immediately drop and sm my fist on the ground. I get up and look towards the edge of the isnd. I looked down and saw… nothing. I look up… not a single star in the sky. What kind of hell is this? I need answers! I am going to find some answers. I see someone from afar. The construction worker. I feel my face, making sure I'm still there and moving towards him. I stay composed as if I didn't witness 36 cycles of all reality imploding and just… ask him a couple questions! Apparently he’s called a… Construction Workerling and wears a yellow and blue uniform with eye poppers, the same as Artars. Before I was even able to ask where the hell I was, he cut me off. “Unfortunately Due to budget constraints, the entire 2 miles of the road leading to the Uber Superb City had to be relocated.”. What? Uber Superb City? I need to find it. “Then how do I even get there!” i remarked because how the hell am i supposed to get there if the entire road is gone, what kind of pce is this? “Do I look like a tour guide? You're asking the wrong guy pal. All I do here is stand at the end of this road 24/7 and get paid for it.” …? “You get paid for this?”. “I'd be able to cash in my check if they did not, you know, move the entire two mile valley that was on the way to the only bank in this entire town.”
…i don't think I'm actually here right now “You are probably the most useless person I've found here so far” he takes out a sandwich while listening to my rude remark. “You think I care? I'm getting paid to sit on my ass and tell people that Uber Super Industries literally moved 2 miles of the road to who knows where else. Now scram and let me enjoy my scrumptious sandwich." I just walked away without a second thought. As I leave, I hear him shout “loser!” behind me. I make my way back into the museum and see that Lord Holiday is gone. I pace around the museum just thinking of what to do next, then I see it, The Aeth painting. I hate that bastard. You exist without my consent and tear my life apart while not doing anything you stupid teapot man!? I’ll show you! I looked behind me to check if no one's watching and then I attempted to sucker punch the painting, just for my fist to phase through the painting. I swirled my arm around to see if it was actually happening and it actually did happen, I was phasing through the wall. I did was any logical person would do and jumped through the Aeth painting.
As soon as I enter the painting, I am introduced to a rge uphill room with a shed on top of the hill, the walls are painted to look like a rge natural grassnd and the ceiling looks like a cloudy sky. I hear a faint choir around the shed. I walk up the hill and crack the door open to see an empty room in it with just an uberling… wait, that's not an uberling. Chefs uniform, eye poppers, red egg head, floating off the ground completely static in the air. Yeah, definitely not not an Uberling.
I bring myself inside and the silence is deafening. There's just a static… i don't even know what to call that thing, in the ai- oh god where am i! It’s all red and white but bigger somehow! I don’t want to be here again! The choir is getting louder! I’m sinking into the starlight! There’s a massive light source in the sky but I know for sure it is not the sun! I can’t do anything! Is this the end?! I’ve been falling for 5 minutes now! I’ve been contempting if it was even worth it the whole time, contempting if I even had a say in whether I could leave or not! Eventually I nd on an invisible ptform and see a floating teapot. I crawl on the floor and reach for it. I touch it and it explodes into particles and gets absorbed into me.
My eyes flicker in red and white then I'm suddenly in another zone. It seems to be the entrance of an obstacle course. I lie on the ground and stare in the malevolent sky. I feel different, more lightweight. In the end, my eyes close and I fall asleep. I dream.
