Into Purgatory: Aki's Journey

Aki heard his words and turned around to see him fading. She reached for his hand but went through him "Wait!" but it was too late as he was already gone. She looked at the sky than smiled. "Era era, I never forget anyone." she turned around and continued walking until she saw something. "Arah"

*in the road just ahead of her, stood a simple doorway, and beside it an old friend*

"Hello again...
The fact that i am here means that you finally grasp the situation.
Purgatory is not a place outside, but inside of all beings. It's tests not the strength, but the mind and heart, teaching us the lessons we must learn in order to move on.
You have learned your lesson; you are both special and flawed; just like all people. And as such, your passion, your ideas, your voice, is just as important. You should step forward through this door never forgetting as long as you live, just how important you are..."

*stepping back from her, he turned the knob of the door and opened it for her*

"Now consecrated one; step forth through the door; into the realm of the Soul King.."


On to Canto 3

Aki smiled waving goodbye at her friend and running into tue door ready for whatever. Though the soul king realem overwhelmed her. She did though run in. "lets get this started!"
