lyrics

Chapter 15: Ordeal

Emerging from darkness, Kopesh-Ra’s senses open into a vast and unknown place at the edge of the Universe. He floats, spinning slowly and observes. In front of him is a starry mass, galaxies upon galaxies unfolding into the vastness of the Universe. Behind him there is only Void, an emptiness so great and so terrible it is difficult to even look into its eyes.

And there, at the edge of the Universe with him is Lo-Sàfah. Waiting and watching, the Beast seems to have grown larger, although Kopesh-Ra wonders how he can know this, given that there is absolutely no point of reference at the edge of the Universe.

“Dance,” the Beast commands.

And they begin the awkward dance again. But at this instance, it seems less awkward, less confined to failure, less dangerous. Kopesh-Ra, equipped with his bio-memetic space suit, and having in his possession the Shield of the Dream Master, feels drained of fear as the dance begins to speed, confidence brimming in his chest as he matches the Beast step for step.

But just as Kopesh-Ra contemplates stepping up the beat himself, he realizes that his exuberance and overconfidence was taken advantage of by Lo-Sàfah. Slowly, the Beast had been manipulating the dance away from the edge of the Universe and into the Void. Kopesh-Ra struggles to get free of the dance, but is enmeshed as one with the Beast. The subterfuge of Lo-Sàfah eliminated his own chance to control the dance. Slowly, now, the Beast begins to move away from Kopesh-Ra, leaving him alone in the Void.
