223. I stood on my knees, lowering my head onto my hands, brought together in a prayer. The pointed figure of my joint hands cut through a ray of sunlight, which wrapped its light into little sparkles and shed them. The sun that belonged to the Spiritual Bridge loomed above us, the Solar Serpents and I, like a chief, watching the incantation earnestly as the performers of its tribe, this realm's guardians, would rise above the clouds to play their part. Robin and the other Memberlanders, soon to be something greater, did as I had done, bringing themselves into the process that would grant us access into the new world. "Majestic Solar Serpents... the new world has waited for us. Please allow us to inhabit and purify it with our presence. Allow us to be the final magic layer in the makeup of the new world, what is left to complete it: life. Guide us enough through this path by showing us its entrance. Solar guardians. Unlock your door...!" I shot the last line of my prayer to the spirits strongly out of my mouth. I knew that they heard me... they had to have! The slithering lights beneath the clouds paused and intensified, drastically lighting them up like flames building up against a solid surface, ready to burst through. The clouds exploded into circles of dark, fading smoke that broke off the swollen chunks in the clouds' outline. The smoke formations were pushed aside to fade away as enormous, radiant dragons burst from multiple spots, with sunlight slanting off their majestic scales like a layer of shining, intangible spikes. The Solar Serpents shot up to the floating ground that we stood on, stopping themselves so suddenly that inertia squeezed the middle of their bodies out of shape for a second, making it look as if there were a large snake down their throats. "My lord," one of the legendary serpents calmly addressed me, its voice carrying a subtle, quickly-fading echo in all directions. "You prayed to us." "I did. Oh, great Silther. We need your help, you and your guardian brothers. The new world," I restated as a plea, rather than a prayer. I respected the serpents as my powerful equals. "We've listened, my lord. Very well," another serpent, Serapphire, answered. "Please, be ready. We wish you luck." The Solar Serpents, Silther, Serapphire, Serepent, and Poithon, dove headfirst into the ground and plunged into oblivion, moving in with a ripple of light whose rings seemed to light up simultaneously, and turn off rather than fade away by layer. Poithon, the serpent. Poithon, the mage. He was named after the legendary beast, and that itself was a curse. Everything about that man is a curse. I quickly brushed the thought of him away. I fully regained my attention when I realized that the process of revealing the new world's entrance had begun. The sun spun around clockwise like a circular hatch. A thin beam of light shot out along the horizon, and it grew a central bulge of energy, like a hose becoming inflated with a bubble of water. The bulge of light dilated, baring its toothed rim, summoning a blinding flash that would reveal the entrance. The bright light cleared up, leaving an enormous portal, too bright to see into on the outside, somewhere in its place. Every few seconds the portal emitted a faint ring, beckoning us to enter. "Majestic Solar Serpents... Thank you, thank you for answering my prayer. Thank you... thank... you," I said in a voice that sounded humble, as I was trying to find the right words to thank them properly. I hope my friends would thank the serpents as well. I hope they would understand what they had done for us. "My friends... you have been granted access to the new world," I proudly declared.
