The Fifth Dimension's

Projections

Laudi continued to cry until he was exhausted. He sat curled up behind the only door in the room. Hunger and thirst began to attack the girl. Laudi tried to get up again and was about to find another way out. But when he woke up standing, suddenly in front of him appeared a flat stone that looks very striking even though it is black.

The stone was lying just not far from where it stood. Laudi was convinced that the stone wasn't there. The stone was probably only as big as Laudi's hand. There was nothing strange about the stone other than the fact that there was something striking about it. The flat stone was like a silvery fluorescent. The light is so dim and smooth that it is difficult to catch by the ordinary eye. But somehow Laudi could be lured just like that to realize it.

For a few seconds, Laudi stood staring at the strange flat stone in front of him. There was such a strong urge to take the stone, as if in that way, Laudi could possibly be free from this calamity. What a strange thought. Laudi's common sense of course refuses to follow that instinct. He tried to ignore the stone and went back around the room to find a way out. The hunger had eaten him away.

A few more minutes passed. No sign of another exit there. There is no window either. Only a narrow lattice is impossible for the adult human body to traverse. The room was also completely empty. Laudi had even tried to break down the door, but it was still unsuccessful. The door was as hard as a solidly built concrete wall.

Once again Laudi let out a sigh of despair. He no longer cries. But panic still attacked him, making both hands tremble. What should he do now?

His gaze was again fixed on the silvery glowing flat stone. Why did the stone attract his attention? After pondering for a while, Laudi finally decided to approach the stone with a sigh.

“Well, there's no harm either. Just take this stone,” murmured to yourself. His actions may feel irrational. However, he also had no other way to get out of the place. So, carefully, Laudi grabbed the flat stone in his hand.

As soon as Laudi's skin touched the stone, his consciousness suddenly changed. Laudi was no longer in an empty, dark room. Instead, the girl was now in a much wider, non-constrained and all-black place. Even so, tiny silvery lights seemed to fill the black background, like millions of stars.

Laudi wasn't sure where he was. However, he felt so familiar with the place. His body now felt very light, and he realized that he was floating in the universe. Right after, he got the understanding that he was no longer in the body of a woman named Laudi. He's not Laudi. It was his consciousness long before he became human. He is part of this universe of stars!

That understanding then led him to jump on another consciousness. Everything moved very fast, swirling before him as if sucking his body and breaking it into many parts. Now he was somewhere full of light. The dots of light moved around him, so close, so familiar. He himself was one of those lights.

Nothing to make him depressed there anymore. Everything feels peaceful, beautiful and pleasant. He realized that his body of light was a fragment of his previous consciousness in the universe. It has broken up into many light creatures that move together in a single entity. Everything in that place pulsed with the same rhythm. It is a creature of light.

Laudi saw his whole body turned out to be a combination of millions of small tiny tiny that fused to form a woman with blue skin. He can loosen the attachment of his body and blend with the environment. Twisted with flowers or leaves, then re-integrated into a blue-skinned female figure again. After knowing how his body worked, the presence of Laudi again thrown elsewhere.

Now it is in a more compact place. His body felt heavier and gravitational currents began to bind him. He was standing in a hexagon building that was moving around slowly. As far as the eye could see, a sophisticated modern city filled the land.  There are hexagon buildings as high as the sky slowly twisted. The buildings were black in color and somehow he knew that the entire architecture there was made of onyx stone. In the sky he saw flying vehicles that were milling about according to their respective routes.

This time Laudi found out his identity. That understanding just popped into the girl's mind. Name's Qhael. He was a researcher from Ras Maldekian. He was sure he had a mission, but somehow the memory of it felt so faint. He can't remember.

As he was trying hard, suddenly behind his back a black-robed person with a tapered face and a different-colored eyeball appeared. He spoke a foreign language that Laudi could somehow understand.

“We just have to hold on for a little while longer, Qhael,” said the figure as he stared at the sky that was now turning red, blood-colored.

Suddenly a sense of pain whack Laudi. His heart was tight and bitter after hearing that sentence. Somehow Laudi realized that his civilization was now on the edge of the horn. Soon, they will be destroyed. The sky that was the color of blood showed everything. Everyone will die, including him. Great war is inevitable.

“Hopefully we can meet again, Igved.” The words just came out of Laudi's mouth. He spoke a foreign language that felt familiar to him.

Shortly after saying so, Laudi's consciousness was again thrown. Everything whirls rapidly and Laudi's body is again sucked in the flow of space and time. The weight of his body grew heavier, and he was now again afflicted with hunger and thirst.

Laudi was already in a dark empty room again. His stomach was nauseous after going through such an intense galactic journey. Unavoidable, Laudi knelt on the floor and began to vomit. But what came out of his mouth was just a yellowish bitter liquid. Stomach acid. How long has he been in that room? Laudi didn't think much of it. Now he remembers everything. The reason he was there, was on earth.
