"Seems like we are threats to you.And I thought a person like you would never underestimate others."

Chris was handling this way better than I was.I had no idea what was going on let alone figuring out my escape plan.

"You aren't going anywhere."Savir stated.

No statement had angered me this much.We would definitely go somewhere.We would definitely escape him and by thinking otherwise he was making a very bad decision.I was about to open my mouth and start talking, but Chris shook his head.

What was that for?

"You know What,I cannot ignore my works just because you guys dropped in.I'll see how you feel later."

He moved towards the large door, and I thought he would do something sinister.Like, tie us up or at least knock us out.It greatly annoyed me that he did not perceive us as threats.We weren't that bad.We could do damage and fight our way out.

"He did not shut the door."I was shouting at this point.

"You are indignant because of that."

"Of course I am."

"Then you are wrong.He has something planned."

"I don't see anything."

"Trust me.You will be shocked."

I decided it was better to trust the Mind Reader and not assume anything.

I was beyond shocked.Because everything was in reverse.I mean the floor was up, and the roof was down.It was messing with my mind, and I was disoriented.Now I knew what he thought of us.I was supposed to feel happy because we made as potential targets in his list.

"See.I told you."

"I never expected this.Are you seeing inverse?Like real images which are upside down."

"I don't know if I should be surprised or amused that you remember some of that information.But Yeah,I am seeing everything in opposites."

"How are we supposed to get out of here?"I asked him.

"I have no idea."

Those words were really disheartening.It was hard to fathom being stuck here.And Savir had psychotic thoughts which he wanted to implement.I still did not know what really happened that fateful night.And how everyone escaped with no knowledge of this fight.There were many things which made in my list of questions.Like how Savir stayed alive all these years.And what happened to the Prince and the Queen.They weren't here and no one knew anything about them.

"Are you okay?You seem lost in your thoughts."

"I am fine.This kind of stuff happens to us on a regular basis,"I shrugged.

"Like being kidnapped by a supposedly dead man."

"Yes.How are we supposed to set things right or rather see things right now?"

"There must be some object responsible for this projection.Otherwise, he would be standing here for a projection of this magnitude.We have to find it."

That was easy theoretically.But seeing was another thing.I found everything wrong.My eyes weren't adjusting to this environment.I now understood his plan.He wanted us to waste our energy by disorienting us.This also served as a way to test us in his domain.He was smart.

"We should see if we get any kind of energy from any object.Now that I hear it,I think it is a dumb idea.Because he would not make this easy."

"Chris,you are over thinking this."

He was getting worked up, and I never saw him like this.He was very different last two years.He was cautious and different.He mostly tried to isolate himself after Carl left.And Carl left because Mrs.Wallace died.I was away when I was told.And I frankly didn't know what to tell him.He was the strongest person I knew, and I watched him falling to pieces.He then became good at hiding his feelings and acting normal.I was always present with him, so I could support him and listen to him.I could feel that he was fighting an internal war right now because we did not know when we were going to die.That didn't mean we were going to take all this without a fight.

"Hey.Its going to be okay.You always say this that there is always a way if we try to squint hard and find it.Same applies here.We are fighting this.And don't you doubt yourself.You are not losing anyone."

Yeah,I realised I wasn't good at talking in these kinds of situations.I was freaking out.After a long time,maybe w minutes,he spoke.

"Yeah,you are right."

I did not know he was referring to what, but he was calm now.And that mattered most.

"I realised the memory stone could identify his magical object."

"That's brilliant,Chris."

I could not see his expression, but I am sure he smiled.

I would definitely get my eyes checked if I survived.This projection was killing me.

"It's working."

"Huh?"

"See.Ah,don't see.But this thing is pulling me backward.Close your eyes and walk.Feel before each step.That way you wouldn't fall if something's in your way."

Despite that warning,I bumped into two chairs and a table.Even then, I considered this as an achievement.I could now participate in some games which I considered I would certainly fail.

We found a vase which was empty.Savir  had a large range of objects which he enchanted.And I would have never guessed a vase would be responsible for my plight.

"How are we going to negate this?"I asked.

"We can break it."

"It's funny, but I don't think it would work.He would have taken some precaution, so this would work when we wreak havoc."I smiled now.

I suddenly got an idea.I didn't know if it would work.

"This case has a Reverse Projection.We can use one more Reverse Projection.And it would right out."

"It could work.Let me try."

He was far more better at these kinds of projections.I had the answer when I saw everything normal.

"You did it."

"We did it,you mean."

But still seeing all reverse made my eyes difficult to adjust now.I hated how a simple Reverse Projection could hurt this much.

"You know something?"

"What?"

"Thank you for saying those things.I needed them.I was very much caught up in my feelings."He exhaled and took a deep breath.

"You don't have to deal with this alone.We are all here.I am here.Carl came back and I can say for sure he wouldn't leave again.You aren't alone.I can't say I understand what you are going through, but I am here to listen anytime."

"I know."

"Yeah."

"What's That?"

"What's What?"

"That, journals and books.They look familiar."

"That page we found.It was from this book."

"We will get all answers to our questions now."

The truth could be the most frightening I would witness now.
