Part 5 - The Awakening

Vlad felt the world begin to sink beneath him. He felt himself floating,
and opened his eyes to see himself in an empty void; it was blissful,
almost relaxing.

Then, off in the distance he heard a deep bell ring out and he felt himself
begin to fall but he felt no fear as he dropped. He fell and fell and
finally, what felt like a year later, he felt his back land gently onto
something hard. The world around him blazed with light and he found himself
resting on an invisible ground, surrounded now in white.

He stood and dusted himself off, taking a look around at his
surroundings. The emptiness went on forever in every direction but one,
directly behind him he saw a tall stone door. The door had an embossed
circle in it's' center, was gilded in fading gold leaf, and was split
perfectly by the seam of the two half doors.

Vlad attempted to step forward, and feeling that the invisible floor
continued, he walked up to and examined the door. The longer he stared at
it the more he saw: symbols began to slowly appear inside the inner
diameter of the circle, swirling among the surface of the stone, twisting
and warping until they formed a solid shape and sense of organization. The
symbols were unfamiliar to him at first but as he stood there they began to
slowly make sense, they where lines of code. Each symbol corresponded to a
function, or action, each symbol being completely foreign to him, but he
knew that each one directly represented a command line.

He hesitated and stepped up to the door as one large symbol appeared in the
center, its meaning echoed in his mind. "Awaken" it droned like a bell. He
took a deep breath trying to calm himself as his hand slowly reached
out. His hand made contact with the symbol, its light becoming tangible
just before he would have touched the door.

Slowly, the door opened, the light spilling through the opening shone
brighter than even the white nothingness around him. It stopped opening
after a short distance though, just enough for him to step through.

Vlad reached a hand towards the opening, but quickly retracted it and
gasped. What was a shining opening in the door was now blocked out by a
large vertical eye, wide open and staring right at him. Its iris was made
of seven concentric circles, each one a different color of the rainbow,
deep and rich in hue. Staring into the eye, transfixed, Vlad did not notice
the small dark hands that reached out.

By the time that he did see them, it was too late; they had wrapped
themselves around his arms, legs, and chest holding him just tightly enough
to keep him in place but not enough to hurt. They pulled him forward
towards the eye. He wanted to fight, his brain told him to, but something
inside Vlad told him to relax. Listening to that voice he did so, and was
pulled through the door.

As he was pulled away from the door, he heard it slam close behind him; its
deep note echoing in the dark tunnel he had been pulled into. The eye was
above him now watching as he was pulled towards the end of the tunnel which
glowed blue-green.

A disembodies chorus of voices rang out from seemingly nowhere and
everywhere at the same time. "?????? ???????? [Greetings Vladimir] , this
has been a long time coming. You are later than expected, but you are here
now and that is what is important." The voices spoke in perfect harmony.

"What is going on?" Vlad asked, twisting and turning his head to face as
many directions that he could, limited only by the fact that his body was
still held tight by the hands.

"You have been brought here in order to know. Are you prepared to know?"
the voices said.

"If I am here then I must be." He said as he tried to stand up straight,
but the hands still kept him held tight.

The voices began to shout, becoming slightly less uniform and a bit
discordant. "IF YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO KNOW THEN HOW CAN
YOU BE SURE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KNOW?!?!?!"

"I know I am able to know because of the very fact that I am here. I opened
the door. I allowed the arms to pull me in. Had I not been ready to know
either of one of those things would have stopped me." Vlad called out to
the voices, his body tensing in anger and fear.

Several long moments of silence passed, the eye unblinking and staring
right at him, seemingly into his very soul.

The voices spoke again, this time returning to unison,
"Acceptable. Follow." The eye flew farther down the tunnel, stringing Vlad
along as well, the arms still gripping him rather tightly.

Vlad let them pull him forward, curious to see what was at the end of the
tunnel.

* * *

As he exited through the portal of blue-green light, he found himself still
bound by the hands. However, now the void was gone; he now sat among the
stars. They were pinpricks of light all around him, but directly in front
of him there was a large fiery sphere. Vlad recognized that it was Sol, his
own star, the one that fed his planet the light it needed to live.

"What now?" Vlad asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes, exactly." The voices began to fade away; "What now?" The hands
released him, retracting back towards to the eye, and then the entire being
faded away into nothingness, leaving Vlad floating through space, alone.

Vlad sighed and began to float aimlessly. He thought hard about it, willing
himself in a direction, and then away he went. At least now he was
directing himself, but where was still a question as to where? He began
wondering just how far he could go. As he drew closer to the earth he
stopped and turned around, once again facing the sun. "Why explore my own
solar system? We already know so much about it." he mused out loud. Turning
again, Vlad headed off in a random direction, into the unexplored realm of
the stars.

On and on and on Vlad floated, past shooting stars, asteroid fields, racing
comets, stars small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, planets so big
they had dozens of moons, and so much more. He was amazed at the wonder of
it all, he could just wander around the universe aimlessly; learning
everything he could about existence.

* * *

Faster and faster Vlad began to race through the stars until everything was
a blur all around him. Then, he gradually came to a stop, once again
surrounded by a void of nothingness. He turned and looked back at
everything he had left behind, now just a speck of light in the
distance. He felt an immense thrill and a sense of joy and accomplishment
as he looked on. He wasn't sure what to do now, so he folded his legs under
him, seemingly sitting down yet still floating around in the
nothingness. He let his mind wander, and finally settled on the thoughts
that he had been trying, and failing, to suppress for a while; the sexual
thoughts he had about Jason.

Vlad continued to try and push the thoughts away but the more he pushed the
more the thoughts returned to him, each time becoming harder to fight
off. Giving up on peaceful meditation he looks around the empty space and
calls out: "Well... What now?"

Vlad's musings were only met with silence, as he sighed and lay back, still
staring into an empty void of nothingness. His thoughts of Jason began to
coalesce into reality as he felt his cock swell and his pants began to feel
tighter around his crotch.

Hesitantly he began to undress himself, letting his clothing drift away
from him in the void, letting his hands fall onto his smooth, slim
chest. As the moments passed, he became fully erect, and he slowly moved
his right hand down his chest, across his abdomen, past his sparse,
light-colored bush, and finally stopping with his hand wrapped around his
erect member. "Might as well." he chuckles to himself, as he began to
stroke himself in time with the soft pulses of light that were coming from
the far-away pinprick of light that was the space and home he knew.

Vlad began by tugging at the end of his foreskin, stretching it a little
just before he starting getting too crazy. He knew that his foreskin was
detached and well-stretched, and a few tugs weren't going to do anything
worthwhile, but was a little pre-masturbation ritual that made him feel
comfortable and secure, just a check-in with his penis to let it know 'hey
bud, here comes the fun!' Vlad giggled as he thought this, humored at the
fact that the slightest sexual arousal turned him into the kind of babbling
idiot that had internal conversations with his penis. He shook his head,
closed his eyes, and again firmly gripped his shaft; letting out a small
moan as he did. Simultaneously, he failed to notice that his moan of
pleasure was paired with a visible vapor taking place of his exhale,
floating out of his mouth and slowly drifting away from his head, slowing
down and nearly stopping a short distance away.

Vlad sighed happily as he started to slowly work his hand up and down his
shaft, softly twisting his wrist each time he changed direction. He was not
sure why, but this time was even more enjoyable than the previous times he
had pleasured himself.

Each time Vlad let out a moan, more vapor escaped his lips, each time
changing into a new color as well. They floated up and away from him, in
random directions, travelling anywhere between a short little ways away to
very far. They even began to collide with each other and form into shapes
and patterns, some stacking with each other, others swirling around each
other, one blue one even started to shred apart when it touched a green
one.

Vlad continued to work himself over, gradually he had picked up speed
slowly sitting up and bending over himself, not caring to look at his own
cock as his skin retracted to reveal his throbbing cockhead. He continued
to stroke his shaft, keeping his hand on his shaft, not daring to near his
glans, knowing it was extra sensitive and he didn't want to scare away the
bliss he was experiencing. He bit his lip as he finally felt himself
growing closer to his climax. In one fluid motion he threw himself
backwards his hips arching high in the "air" as he continued to stroke
himself through his climax.

When Vlad finally began to cum, his cock began to twitch and jump in time
with the spurts being released from his cock. However, instead of ropes of
hot white cum shooting out and falling down onto his belly and crotch, it
was smatterings of hot white stars, spraying forth in time with his
twitching cock; each flying away from him and collecting in their own
patterns across the void, like their own little collections of life on a
blank black canvas, a sight he had seen similarities of before. Vlad lay
there, ignorant of the beauty that was coming directly from his loins, not
daring to stop in order to keep his pleasure as drawn-out as possible.

As Vlad finally reached the end of his orgasm, he gasped and shook and
moaned as the waves of pleasure rolled over him, he even found himself
laughing at a few points, letting his pent-up desires release along with
his orgasm. His smile never left his face, as he finally opened his eyes in
order to inspect the mess he had surely made of himself.

What Vlad saw instead astounded him beyond almost all reason. Where there
had been empty space there was now small budding galaxies and stars, and
gaseous clouds of matter all around him. Vlad was not sure how he knew it
but he knew in his heart that this was his creation and he took great joy
from it as he began to slow drift around exploring what he could.

* * *

As he travelled around, admiring his creation, he watched as the formations
began to interact and change. The stars began to explode and fly their
surroundings outward while others began to implode and draw their
surroundings in, making them disappear. The formations spun and whirled and
flew about faster and faster until they were going so fast Vlad couldn't
keep track of them with his own eyes.

Just then, the chorus of voices returned, and yelled "STOP!" and just then,
everything he had created winked out of existence in an instant, leaving
him floating in the empty blackness again.

Vlad looked round at the nothingness and called out to the voices."Why did
you do that? I hadn't gotten to explore it yet. How then should I come to
understand more about magic? I was only just beginning to understand it
more fully."

The voices returned, chiming in harmony. "You cannot simply create and let
that creation exist. The universe does not allow for that. One Mage creates
fire, another creates rain, the universe combines the two and keeps itself
harmonious. You created what is now destroyed. You must come to create
within the laws of balance and order, or be prepared for the universe to
harmonize in order to destroy you."

"Oh..." Vlad said with a hint of fear in his voice. "I assume that is what
the other mages are referring to when the talk about Paradox?"

The voices responded with a resounding "Yes."

"How do then do I know if I am approaching dangerous territory?" said Vlad,
the fear in his voice increasing.

The voices rang out again, "There is an analogy that most Mages find very
easy to understand."

Suddenly, the empty space that Vlad was floating in disappeared, and he was
instead floating above a flowing body of water, spanning towards every
horizon he saw, but all flowing in the same direction. The voices chimed
again, "This is your reality. You exist within this realm, as a being."

With this, Vlad plunged into the water, and began to move along with the
current, with his head and shoulders well above the water with no effort,
he relaxed.

"Those who are unaware of the so-called flow of the reality simply flow
with it, moving along with the current. Some of those with latent powers
can move along this flow with an actual sense of direction and accuracy,
even sometimes altering it slightly, but still being controlled by
it. Mages have the ability to see the currents and flow for what it is, and
are able to push the water around as they choose."

Now, Vlad flew back up out of the water, and spun to lay flat over it,
where he could reach his hands down and touch it if he liked. "This flow is
fed by the belief of those floating along in it. When that belief is
challenged, say when you throw a fireball at it," A fireball appeared in
front of Vlad, and both were hurled down towards the water, becoming
totally engulfed.

The fireball extinguished and Vlad was yanked under deeper by an
undercurrent and flew down the flow, struggling for air, fighting to swim
back up to the surface. The flow stopped momentarily, and Vlad flew back up
and out of the water, face-down again, as he hacked out the mouthfuls of
water he had swallowed, as the current resumed.

"The current of believable reality fights back, very easily wiping out the
magic that offended it, and most likely the Mage that created the magic. Do
so in a more believable way," the voices paused as a lit candle and shield
appeared in front of Vlad, as they slowly dipped into the water.

The flow altered around the shield, and the candle lowered below the
waterline, but was protected from extinguishing by the shield. The two
objects disappeared as Vlad floated back up into the air. "Then the reality
and belief can accept this change and alter around it. The Mages have names
for these types of magic, you should learn them. Also, remember, even if
there are not beings that exist to fuel the belief needed for the magic,
the flow is so powerful it can itself extinguish the magic and the
Mage. Mages can be physically hurt, driven mad, hurled into pocket
dimensions, or even hunted down by beings formed from the energy that made
up the extinguished magic."

Vlad shook his head. "No, I saw a friend of mine do things like this, crazy
things so out of place of reality, right in front of me."

The voices spoke up again, "Yes, just as rock formations like islands and
tide pools change how water flows, so do extensive changes in belief change
how reality flows. Over time, the collective belief of something can alter
reality completely, or, the constant belief of something even in a small
area can change the flow of reality in that area, like your school."

The water disappeared again, leaving Vlad floating in the abyss again,
where he searched for the familiar pinprick of light in the distance that
represented home. "It is time you returned, and learned what you can about
your own reality, and how you are able to go about changing it."

The great eye returned, with the arms still attached, and flew towards him,
hands outstretched.

"No, wait! I still need to know more!" Vlad shouted and tried to move away
from the hands, but he wasn't able to float anymore, he remained in the
same spot, thrashing around.

The voices did not answer, and Vlad was gripped tightly by the hands as the
eye turned towards the pinprick of light and began to fly them toward it.

* * *

Vlad struggled in vain to pull himself back towards the empty space, back
towards the voices and the lessons they had to offer. There was so much he
still did not understand, and so much that he still wanted to learn, but
alas his struggling only served to exhaust him. With a sigh he let himself
begin to drift off into what he guessed would be considered sleep. Since he
was still unsure of what state he was in, or even what plane he was on.

When Vlad awoke he found himself back in the white space again, the
nothingness around him once again, except for the door. He stood up once
more, dressed once again in the clothes he had tossed off in his pleasure
session.

"What's going on?" He called out, unsure if he would get a response or not.

"It is time for you to return... Now you walked through the door yourself
coming here, you must now walk out of the door and guide yourself home."

Vlad bowed to no one in particular. "Then I thank you...whoever or whatever
being you are for the lessons you have taught me."

With that final sentence Vlad stood and stepped up to the door, the symbol
had changed into one he knew meant "Return", so he reached out to it, the
door opened wide this time. The light shone through, engulfing Vlad in
pleasant warmth as he shut his eyes tight, as he fell back and sank down
into the nothingness around him.
