Winston flew off somewhere. Maybe it was Walta. Sometimes I can't tell which one is which. It is a bit weird for him to have two people inside him, but I just got dumped into a new body and learned that my life was all a lie. I really can't judge. Also, he acts like two different people. I guess that makes it work.

  I stand up from my seat on top of Winston's mountain. My little sand ball rolls up to me. It's a little bit smaller than before. Guess it lost some dirt.

  I look at my arm, a bit worried. Am I going to lose yers of myself? No, it seems like whatever is holding me together is a bit stronger than that. If anything, I look bigger than before, a bit beefier.

  My brother's room is so much more picturesque than mine. I'm used to forest, so getting to see a mountain, a desert, and whatever the hell Chaos' room is is a bit overwhelming. I stand up, cradling the sand ball in my arm, and start walking down the mountain. There's a pretty good path down, following a ridge that ends in the taller peak.

  About halfway down, I find a cave.

  Now, just because I have had bad experiences with caves has no bearing on how I feel towards them. Poor Eth, though. My hands are shaking a little. Eth could get hurt in my room, what would happen if I got hurt here?

  I try to enter the cave, but find that I can't move.

  Well, I can move my mouth, but not my body. I try to back up, and find that I easily can. The paralysis is gone. Well, I suppose the cave is off-limits. I sigh. Thank goodness, going in there was a horrible idea anyways.

  I continue climbing down the mountain, only to find that once I get down a certain amount, there's a wall of mist that stops me from going further. This is kind of aggravating. Not that I want to do anything about it but cry, wait, I used to get angry when I was annoyed. Shit, did this body change more than my sex? Did it effect my emotions too?

  Y'know what. This is the least of my problems. What does suck though, is that both my desert and now Winston's mountain are limited. Well, he can fly, so I don't think he cares, but still! These things are supposed to be us, right? Why are we limited like that?

  Also, why does Chaos' go up forever, I'm kind of jealous about that.

  I begin climbing back up the rocks, and it's surprisingly easy. While I climb, I wonder, why are we here? Maybe I should ask Eth. She met the Creator. Wait. She MET the CREATOR!

  I double my pace, maybe she can get us some answers, or maybe she knows something. I know for a fact that Chaos won't be of any help.

  I fly up the mountain, until I get to the summit. Winston is nowhere in sight, so I look around for a bit, trying to see him. I want him to come with me. I just want a friend to talk to. It really is lonely in this pce.

  Stepping out of the cloud door, I take one st rueful gnce back at Winston's room, then leave entirely. Now I'm back in the creepy hallway. It's as if the sky was cloudy, but all around you and below you. This massive hallway is at the same time too big and custrophobic. I start to get a bit dizzy as I look up.

  The light comes from nowhere, too! It's almost like the light shines from below and reflects off of the arched ceiling, but down here is illuminated by up there, so where is the light coming from?

  The statues are creepy, too. It feels like they're watching me.

  So, I walk through the gardens in the middle of the hall, if only to avoid seeing any of that stuff. It feels a bit like home.

  That said, am I even going the right way? I can't tell, and that just worries me even more. I guess I just keep going this way?

  I walk for so long, so so long. The garden scenery changes colors so many times, from light brown to green to purple to bck to yellow to sky blue to clear (I fell in a pond). Actually, falling in water is strange in this body. I can feel it soak in to me, making me bigger and softer, suffusing my form. It makes me sluggish and I really don't like it.

  After I fall in that pond, I end up sitting in a white stone tree for a while while I wait for myself to dry.

  I find that, like flexing a muscle I didn't know how to flex, I can compress myself to help the process. The white tree turns a deep blue when wet, and has little triangles all over it. Strange.

  The statues also change a bit, not that the colors are any different from the ones earlier, just that the statues feel more thoughtful than the more freaky ones I have been seeing. Though it might just be some of the pnts in the next garden, which have these cup shaped leaves and glowing flowers in the middle. They work like a candle shade, lighting up a certain area in colored light.

  It was strange that they were only lighting up the statues and certain points of the ceiling, but magic.

  This pce is really magical, and even if it is scary, I can appreciate it for what it is. Fascinating.

  The people here are also like that. WAY to strange, but not really malicious. They make me uncomfortable... I should probably do my best to make sure nobody else feels the same way.

  A smile comes to my face, and for some reason I feel really good about the idea about making other people feel better.

  I guess my body isn't the only thing that changed.

  I keep going forward.
