I have speculated that in this strange place intention could act as a sort of locomotion. Today would mark my first experience with this attempt.

I wanted to visit the king at the center of this land, as I had been instructed to in A Mission Given by the disembodied voice of unknown origin.

Initially, the world around me started to fade into a black stillness that enveloped me. There was a peace to it, like drifting off to sleep.

Then I began to feel something, as if something in the dark was reaching out to me.

It felt like I was sitting on something. The surface was hard beneath me, though when I looked down, there was only blackness.

Then I perceived myself beginning to straighten, my spine pulling upright, except it wasn't me doing this. Some invisible force seemed to be controlling my body, moving it like a puppet.

I cannot even be certain I actually straightened out. Perhaps it was only the sensation of straightening, a phantom movement in the dark.

Then came the experience of somehow becoming the king at the center of the world. I sensed myself as a ruler seated high above his lands, commanding and vast. But how could this be?

I still saw only blackness.

The sensation began to dissolve then, fragmenting like a dream slipping away upon waking. For a moment I existed nowhere at all, suspended between that vast kingship and something else entirely.

Then, like a flash, I found myself back at the tower of purple and white, looking out to the north where the king resided.

I saw the path wrapping through the trees, fields, and mountains ahead.

Then a large scythe came down from the sky, cutting the path in two. I felt a tearing run through me, no through all the world around me as if the scythe was cutting reality its self and again the blackness returned.

I am left with more questions than answers I'm afraid.

Why did I feel like I was the king? Am I somehow the king? Or was I "touching" the king somehow?

Why was the path cut by a scythe?

This form of travel was not as I expected, but I am pleased the theory seemed to hold. I had expected it to be vivid like the rest of this land, but instead it was dark, made more of somatic sensations, impressions, and emotions. When my eyes seemed to catch up, the image was just a flash.

I need to ponder this experience further and consider what it might tell me about what this place is and how it operates.
