Chapter 12 - Sefron’s Teachings At the other end of the meadow an enormous tunnel of brilliant white light rotated slowly, encircling Niko in a lustrous glow. He stood still, marveling at the mystifying tunnel while basking in its radiance. Sefron sat cross-legged in front of the tunnel. The elf talked while Niko remained entranced with the soothing texture of the light surrounding him, and only half-attentive to Sefron. “This tunnel of light is here to help you understand the nature of things.” Sefron’s voice drifted into Niko’s consciousness. Suddenly aware that he might have missed something important, Sefron now had his full attention. “The nature of things?” Niko questioned. “The nature of the game of life.” “Is this tunnel part of the game?” He studied the tunnel, its light and movement, trying to understand. It didn’t help. “You might say it is the unseen part, the part that is hidden, the part that is unknown.” Sefron nodded approvingly to Niko. “It is a good sign. It does not often make itself available to seekers of knowledge, not even here in the Land of Sefron. I call it the Clear Tunnel.” “It doesn’t look clear to me. I can’t see through it.” Niko put his things down and moved closer to the tunnel. “Things are not always as they appear on the surface,” Sefron replied. “The Clear Tunnel is here for you to enter.” Niko started to step closer to the tunnel, then noticed that Sefron was still sitting down. “Aren’t you going into the tunnel with me?” “I probably will.” Sefron leaned to one side to smell a meadow flower that grew next to where he was sitting. “Probably? What do you mean by that?” “I mean there is a probability that I will enter the Clear Tunnel. Then again, there is a probability that I won’t.” “That’s no answer.” Niko glared at the elf. “It appears to me that you won’t or else you wouldn’t still be sitting.” “It might take you more time to learn than I thought.” He rubbed his hairless chin, which he did when he was considering a situation. “Everything is a probability. Pay attention. Nothing is as it appears,” Sefron responded soberly. “You just told me that,” Niko retorted. “And I thought it necessary to repeat myself,” Sefron’s dark eyes were full of knowing. “I sat down here to relax while I answer all of your questions. You see, I knew you would be true to your form and need to have a period of questions and answers before you will enter the tunnel.” He lightened the moment with a slight smile of amusement. “Where is that adventurous spirit of the hunter Niko of Quintaris?” Sefron’s statement snapped Niko to attention. “I am a hunter,” he replied recalling his training in the forest. His mind had to be clear and focused on hunting, yet he must remain alert to everything around him. Just then he noticed Sefron peering at the sky. Niko looked up to see what had caught his interest. A tiny white bird flew high in the blue sky. Niko watched intently as the bird descended, lower and lower, until it hovered above the Clear Tunnel. As he focused on the bird, images appeared in his mind, hazy at first, like fragments of a dream. All at once, the images tumbled forth stirring his memories. Niko turned to Sefron. “I had a dream about a bird like that.” He spoke quickly while images rapidly flickered through his mind. “It was in a castle, the crystal castle I saw yesterday in today. There was a crystal visioning well and a man in a long white robe.” “That wasn’t a dream, Niko. You were in Galaxy 313 early this morning. I saw you there.” Sefron nodded to the bird, “Good morning, Ra’el.” He held a finger out to the tiny white bird who flew to him chirping a warm greeting. Niko laughed. “You were asleep in the cave this morning, Sefron. You couldn’t have seen me anywhere.” “I sleep in a way you have yet to learn. The man you saw is Three Thirteen.” Sefron introduced Ra’el. “And this is Ra’el from Galaxy 313.” Studying the tiny bird, Niko shook his head, “Ra’el? No. The bird I saw had a different name.” Images continued to overlay his perception of the bird until every detail of Galaxy 313 became clear to him. “There were two white birds! Te’as and Ra’el.” And Niko remembered Annalisa. “Where is Annalisa? I wonder if she remembers. Three Thirteen said she wouldn’t remember, but she has to remember.” Niko spoke his thoughts out loud in an attempt to understand what he was remembering. Sefron listened approvingly as he heard Niko’s recollection of Galaxy 313. “Three Thirteen gave me a pouch of stardust.” Niko retrieved a small pouch from his pocket. It glistened in his hand as he continued to remember. “I wished that I would remember everything Three Thirteen told me. And I have remembered. I remember it all, Sefron!” Ra’el chirped happily and took to flight. She had succeeded in assisting Niko in remembering his journey to Galaxy 313. Sefron nodded and smiled, watching the tiny bird disappear into the depths of the blue sky. Then he turned his attention back to Niko who also watched Ra’el’s departure from the meadow. Sefron spoke in a loud voice that demanded notice, “Now that you have remembered, it is time for you to set out on a new adventure. He swiftly leapt to his feet in a swirling movement just as a lightning flash spiraled into a vortex of energy that zoomed from the tunnel. Niko jumped out of the way. “What’s it doing?” he shouted in alarm. “Do you remember how you traveled to Galaxy 313?” Sefron inquired. Niko hesitated, still examining the out-of-control spiraling light. “I…I traveled on a silver thread,” he managed to answer. “How did you do that?”
