MEANINGFUL LIFE

It Was In Summer.......                                       

 WHEN A GROUP OF ADVENTURERS DECIDED TO EXPLORE THE MYSTERIOUS FOREST OF ORENDA.                                                      

 BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS FOREST,THEY TEAMED UP WITH ANOTHER GROUP OF ADVENTURERS                

SOPHIE RICH WAS ONE OF THEM.AFTER ONLY SIX DAYS OF EXPLORING,TEN PEOPLE WENT MISSING.     

AFTER SURVIVING IN THAT FOREST ALONE ,SOPHIE MANAGED TO LIVE TEN DAYS.                    

 ON THE TENTH DAY WITHOUT HOPE OR ENERGY TO SURVIVE SOPHIE LAID ON A TRUNK OF BIG SEEMINGLY OLD TREE             

IT WAS THE POINT WHERE SUNSHINE REACHED THE EARTH.IT FELT WARM..... SHE FELT HAPPY.                   

 AT THAT TIME SHE THOUGHT TO HERSELF:  'WHY WAS I ALIVE ALL THIS TIME " "WHY DID I EVEN LIVE?"     

AS SHE THOUGHT THIS SHE CLOSED HER EYES TO DIE AND LAID THERE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR.

AFTER A HYPNIC JERK ,THE TEMPERATURE AROUND HER CHANGED. SHE OPENED HER EYES TO CHECK IF SHE HAD REACHED HEAVEN.  TO SEE THE WORLD CHANGED AROUND HER AND THINKING THAT SHE WAS IN AFTER WORLD ,SHE WAS UNBELIEVABLY CALM . SHE FELT RELIEVED MAYBE BECAUSE SHE HATED HER LIFE. 

SHE SAW A PATH AHEAD OF HER AND VENTURED THROUGH IT UNTIL SHE FOUND A GRAND HOTEL.

  AS SHE ENTERED AND SOMEONE SHOUTED: 'A NEW VISITOR'

SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ABSORBING THE WORKING OF A HOTEL IN ANOTHER WORLD AND.....

'ANOTHER VISITOR' SOMEONE SHOUTED AGAIN.SHE TURNED TO SEE WHO CAME WHILE SHE GRABBED A PIECE OF PAPER GIVEN BY AN EMPLOYEE. THEY ALSO GAVE IT TO THE OTHER VISITOR. 

MIRIAM SMITH WAS HER NAME. 

SOPHIE TOOK A LOOK AT THE PIECE OF PAPER WHICH WAS JUST GIVEN OUT.

JOB:

    SAVE THE MERMAID OLNIVI

TIME DURATION 1 HOUR                         

 _________________________________         

 THE JOB WAS TO HELP A MERMAID WHO WAS IN A NEAR DEATH SITUATION       

MIRIAM AND SOPHIE WERE TEAMED UP TO DO THIS JOB. WHEN SOPHIE ASKED WHY SHOULD THEY DO THIS JOB ,THE ANSWER SHE GOT WAS:

                 "TO SURVIVE"

SHE WAS SHOCKED. BUT DUE TO SHORTAGE OF TIME SHE WENT OUT ON THE JOB AND PUT ASIDE THE QUESTIONINGS. THERE WAS A GREEN CREEPY LIGHT IN THE AREA NEAR OCEAN BANK. IT WAS LIFELESS AS IF THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE LIVING THING THERE. THEY BECAME A LITTLE INTIMIDATED BY THE ATMOSPHERE BUT THEY HAD TO COMPLETE THE QUEST SO AFTER A DEEP BREATH THEY MARCHED FORWARD.

WHEN THEY TOUCHED WATER BOTH OF THEM BECAME MERMAIDS, IT WAS ASTONISHING AS IF THEY WERE A PART OF THE OCEAN EVEN BEFORE THAT. THEY WERE AMAZED AT THEMSELVES TO BLEND IN THE OCEAN EVEN BEFORE THEY NOTICE IT.

NOW THEY HAD TO FIND THE MERMAID, THEY STARTED LOOKING FOR IT. AFTER GOING INTO A DEEP UNDERWATER CAVE THEY FOUND THE MERMAID SHE WAS SOBBING THERE. WHEN THEY REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING A BIG SHARK WAS ALREADY BEHIND THEM. THEY WERE SHOOK. SOPHIE QUICKLY GRASPED THE SITUATION SWIFTLY GRABBED MIRIAM'S AND THE MERMAID'S HAND AND SANK MORE DEEPER SINCE THE EXIT WAS BLOCKED. SHE WAS AIMING TO FIND A VERY NARROW SPACE, LUCKILY HER EYES LANDED ON TWO BIG BOULDERS IN WHICH ONLY TWO PEOPLE COULD FIT. SHE LEFT OLNIVI AND MARIAM THERE AND STARTED SWIMMING TOWARDS THE SHARK. SHE RETURNED AFTER HALF AN HOUR, HER CONDITION WAS TERRIFYING, HER FINS WERE BADLY DAMAGED AND SHE WAS ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSING. SHE DID COLLAPSE AND THEY TOOK HER TO THE SURFACE. THE MERMAID HEALED THEM AS A REWARD AND THUS THEY COMPLETED THE QUEST.

THEY WERE SHOCKED TO HAVE SUCH POWERS AND WANTED TO KNOW MORE. THEY WENT TO THE HOTEL AGAIN.

 THEY HAD A LOT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS NEW WORLD.SO,WHEN BOTH OF THEM ENTERED THE HOTEL AGAIN THEY WERE SENT TO A BAR OF THAT HOTEL.

THE BARISTA THERE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS.

1. YOU ARE HERE TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE.

2.SOON YOU WILL FIND A BOX THAT WILL HAVE YOUR ANSWER.

3.IF YOU DO NOT DO THE JOBS YOU WILL NOT FIND THE MEANING.

THAT'S ALL THEY GOT FROM HIM.HE DIDN'T ANSWER MANY OF THEIR QUESTIONS.

AND AFTER ONE OR TWO HOURS OF REST ANOTHER JOB CAME, IT WAS TO HELP A TIGER AND GIVE HIM FOOD . IT WASN'T MUCH.

THEY WENT TO GET THE JOB DONE. NEAR THE TIGER'S LIAR THEY FELT IMMENSE FEAR DUE TO IT'S SHAPE.THE TIGER WAS NOT IN A GOOD CONDITION. 

THEY WERE SCARED BUT GOT THE JOB DONE. 

WHEN THEY RETURNED TO THE

HOTEL ,THE BARISTA CALLED FOR THEM AND TOLD THEM A GIFT HAS ARRIVED.

  IT WAS A PANDORA BOX. AS SURPRISED AS THEY WERE THEY OPENED THE BOX IMMEDIATELY. MIRIAM WAS THE ONE TO OPEN IT......

AS SHE OPENED IT SHE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR.

  "GAME OVER" WAS WHAT SOPHIE SAW WHEN SHE VANISHED.

WHAT..........WHAT JUST HAPPENED ? 

THE BARISTA SMILED AND SAID : "MIRIAM LEFT SOMETHING FOR YOU."

SHE ACTUALLY LEFT A PAPER. 

[THE REASON TO LIVE IS TO DIE.]

WAS WRITTEN ALL OVER THE PAPER.

SOPHIE READ IT AND LOOKED UP TO SEE A HORRIFYING FACE OF SEEMINGLY SATAN.

SHE THREW EVERYTHING SHE HAD THAT CAN STOP HER FROM RUNNING AND RAN AWAY AS FAR AS SHE COULD. 

AT LAST SHE STOPPED WHEN SHE SAW THAT SHE HAD RETURNED TO THE POINT WHERE SHE STARTED. THIS TIME SHE SAW ANOTHER ROAD MAYBE THIS ONE WAS THE RIGHT ONE TO TAKE. SHE VENTURED THROUGH THIS ONE AS WELL AND FOUND A SMALL HUT.

THIS TIME SHE STOOD IN FRONT OF IT UNTIL AN OLD MAN CAME,EXAMINED HER AND ASKED HER:DID YOU GO TO THAT HOTEL ?

  SHE:YE-ES

HIM:HOW MANY DAYS DID YOU LIVE THERE?

SHE:ALMOST ONE DAY .

HIM:OH!DID ANYONE DIE IN THAT DAY?

SHE:[CRYING]YE-AH

HIM:I WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, PLEASE STAY CALM AND LISTEN TO ME.

HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING .

THIS WAS A WORLD TO FIND THE MEANING,MYSTERIES AND FAIRNESS OR UNFAIRNESS OF LIFE. AT FIRST SHE SAW ONLY ONE PATH BECAUSE SHE WAS BLINDED BY THE URGE TO LIVE AND ONLY TO LIVE A MUNDANE LIFE.SHE WENT THERE AND DID JOBS THAT WERE ASSIGNED TO HER JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO FIND A BOX OF MEANINGS?. IF LIFE'S MEANINGS WERE JUST GOING TO BE GIVEN TO YOU THEN WHY WAS ONLY LIFE GIVEN TO YOU NOT IT'S MEANINGS. MIRIAM DIED BECAUSE SHE LIVED HER LIFE JUST TO DIE ONE DAY. THEN WHY DID SHE LIVE SUCH A LONG LIFE INSTEAD OF DYING ON HER FIRST DAY.YOU DID EVERYTHING MEANINGLESSLY.WHY?JUST TO SURVIVE? YOU SHOULD LIVE YOUR LIFE AND FIND OR MAKE YOUR MEANINGS TO LIVE AND NOT TO ONLY SURVIVE

AFTER SHE FOUND THIS SOPHIE RETURNED TO HER OWN WORLD AND LIVED A LIFE FULL OF MEANINGS AND BECAME THE FIRST ADVENTURER TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF ORENDA.
