"That is because we are closer to the source of our powers here. Once you reach the center of the island, you will be able to see Sagittaruis's own island and possibly his daughter's island, Riel," Libra explained to .
"Wait! I thought that all of the Sagittarius's children were males?!" I asked with confusion.
"Riel is more of a man than either of us are! I assud that she was a he up until just now," Howl growled out.
The wolf's reply made Libra laugh, and it was a beautiful noise that made feel energized.
"Yes, as your pet said, Riel is the only woman in respect of gender, and I forget that sotis. I am sure that you will have a chance to et her as well after this; Chez and Her are very close," Libra explained, but Howl spoke up again.
"Close? I am sure that she is the only of all the siblings that has ever tried to harm Chez, and Riel does it on a weekly basis!" Howl exclaid.
"That is part of a pact the two made long before Zack had found us the first ti and long before your ti. Chez also takes turns hunting her as well, per the agreent they made with the pact. They do it to keep the other in shape and at the top of their ga. Before the SkinWalkers ca, Sagittarius would also take turns hunting the two of them," Libra explained.
I began to move my arms again, and it was much easier this ti. Still, any attempts to lift my body off the ground were t with what seed to be the pressure of a mountain on my back.
"Is there an easy way to get through this?" I asked and then said, "I don't really have ti to be lying around right now."
"You don't really have much of a choice at this point. You just need to keep doing what you are doing now. You, of all people, should know that nothing is worth doing if it's too easy. You will get through this and get back to the girls you keep thinking about. It seems you have gained quite the collection of new lovers, and you will need a ho for them," Libra told but then rerged into my body before I could say anything.
Libra went silent from that point, but she gave a feeling of satisfaction. I had been initially worried that she was angry with , then the feeling that she projected onto pushed that thought out.
[Focus on your breathing first so you can get the blood moving correctly first. After that, it will be much easier for you to move.] Harold explained to .
'Where did you learn this from?' I asked Harold as I started to focus my breathing in a rhythmic pattern.
[You, I think, but I don't know when. I just rember you telling sothing like that. I don't know if it will help, but it is better than nothing.] Harold explained.
"Howl, try focusing your breathing," I called over to my big blue wolf, but I got a strange barking laugh as a response.
"What do you think I have been trying to do this entire ti? What have you been doing? Struggling to try to stand? I can't even feel my paws right now!" Howl barked out with a laugh that turned into a cough that sounded like he was trying to choke out a furball.
I furrowed my brow at the wolf's jest, but he was right about the loss of feeling in my limbs. I could still feel my hands and feet, but they were cold, and that ant that they weren't getting enough blood.
I closed my eyes and focused, getting my breathing to a nice and even pace. The heat started to return to my limbs, but I also started to feel more energized like I had from hearing Libra's laughter.

After another hour, I was able to get up and on to my feet, but I was shaky and feeling exhausted from the exertion it took to get up to this point.
"How are you doing?" I asked Howl as I walked over to the other side of the enormous blue wolf.
He was panting, and his sizeable pink tongue was hanging out of his mouth. The wolf looked like shit, and he still didn't have his breathing under control.
"I am nowhere near as strong as you, and I am also a lot bigger than you. I will be here for a while, but I will catch up," Howl growled.
I grinned and then patted him on the head once, but it made the wolf wince, so I left him be. I needed to get to the center of this island, but I was still amazed by this place.
I turned to look back out at the endless space, and I pondered why this felt different than when I had been in my head.
[Simple questions get simple answers. This place is 'real,' and the other is a construct of this place in your head. Outside of here, you can create almost anything in your mind if you want to, but here, this is really the space outside of Hydrocus.] Harold explained, and I nodded to myself in understanding.
So this place actually existed sowhere in the smashed-up multiverse in my mind, and it was more real than the one in my mind. Sure it made perfectly good sense; no way I wouldn't understand sothing so simple that makes absolutely no sense.
[You and that idiot are the ones that made it like this, so of course, it doesn't make any sense. Regardless, this is the way it is.] Harold said, and I could feel that he was equally frustrated from the haywire reality that we were all in.
