Chapter 17.
Jump into the Emptiness.
In the desert, almost nothing can usually survive, so the landscape around us looked more like an alien.
No sound, no smell, no birds, no animals. Only a light whiff of a scorching breeze.
The dazzling sun was going down. In the East it always gets dark very quickly.
Despite the fact, that for many days we were already on the road, and managed to acclimatize, during the last day of travel under the scorching sun, by the evening we were pretty tired.
It was time to settle down for the night.
As always, myriads of stars poured into the sky, and a huge full moon emerged.
Why is the Moon so different ?? At the beginning it is not visible at all, then it gradually grows every day, until it turns into a complete shining beauty, illuminating everything around?
Why have I never noticed this before?
I always looked at her, full of all sorts of romantic feelings.
But not now...
What a pity, that I will never see the old Moon I knew before. Although now she looks no less majestic, just much more serious.
But, looking at the sky, I could not get off the camel.
A wobbling path ran across the plateau, a reflection of the moonlight.
Excitement gripped me.
It seems, that even the camel noticed something unusual.
Lulu was scared.
Turning , I looked at her for a long time, trying to remember, then turning sharply, nodded my head to follow me, sharply spurring the poor camel, decisively moved forward fate.
I started to rush.
Despite the tiredness, my own and of the poor animal, I hurried forward, furiously tugging at the reins.
It gets noticeably cooler in the desert at night, so the ride was much easier.
On the way, my ears began to ring.
The moonlight showed the direction.
They were waiting for us.
Nothing depended on us anymore, we just had to follow the instructions.
In the distance, several trees, absolutely dried up, it is not known how, once grew here, could be seen.
Approaching the trees, I noticed several ravens sitting on the branches, which were staring at us.
I realized, that we were in place.
I got off the camel, went to Lulu and helped her too.
Suddenly, Lulu screamed and began to slowly sag, stretching her hand forward, waving one hand somewhere behind me, covering mouth by another so, as not to scream in horror, trying to show me something.
I began to turn around slowly.
Bending almost in half, I looked where Lulu was pointing.
In the distance… at the very horizon.. a glow appeared in the sky and ... huge eyes were looking at us.
A shadow appeared in front of us from the night. Then another. They were everywhere, revolving around us with lightning speed.
Of course, Lulu and I didn't need anything.
The strongest wind rose, dry lightning flashed and roared around us.
We didn't have to ask, or explain anything.
We didn't have any secrets, that it might not know. Since it was a part of us.
The hurricane was getting stronger.
With all my might, I shouted to Lulu, to return immediately and we rushed back to the camels.
Having jumped up quickly, hastily spurred the camels, we, for which the unfortunate animals had enough strength, rushed in the opposite direction from these all-seeing eyes.
So, on our camels, without making out the road, we raced for about two hours, completely losing our way, having lost almost all of the equipment.
“I know, what will happen, when the restrictions are lifted from the Observer and Observed…!!!” I shouted to Lulu.
- At a certain point, the need to restrain the Observer and Observable no longer makes sense for the System, and the restrictions subside.
- The Observer, restrained up to this moment by infinity, like a wild beast, crushing everything in its path, at great speed, rushes to the outer border of the Observed, and the Observed at the same gigantic speed, held back by eternity, strives towards the Observer, absorbing each other.
They, like the same cheetah in one jump, instantly overcome eternity and infinity, meeting, disappear into the Emptiness.
-Where do they disappear to? asked Lulu.
-This is known only to three - I answered.
- Only to them and to the Void.
Gradually, our camels calmed down, the storm began to subside.
Lulu and I began to scan the horizon anxiously.
There, in the distance, the outlines of the eyes were still visible, but already noticeably, under the influence of the wind, they began to blur, like all clouds, losing their shape.
Lulu and I had to find some nearest settlement as soon, as possible.
And then, all get together and quickly go to the sea, dive and finally look at the fish.
