This is how I met Yamka, part 4

  I turn to her and sneer. "If you don't leave here as I will do now, before you find your parents, those monstrous people will hunt you down."

  It's time for me to leave.

  I wish to be elsewhere and find myself in complete darkness.

  Hey, I have been to this pce before. Anyway, let me lie down and listen to my thoughts for a while. Let me close my eyes for a short time, and then, maybe, I may go back to see Yamka again.

  I close my eyes, then reopen them.

  I want to learn exactly how much time has passed since I closed my eyes. And the answer comes: I have been asleep for billions of years.

  It's nothing in comparison to forever.

  I stand up and stretch my body.

  I don't know what happened to Yamka, but I can guess. I think she died from trying to pick the correct coffin, or whatever was inside the coffin may have killed her. I don't even know the answer. But I can find out for sure, either by making a wish or by discovering it. Let me toss a coin to decide, because I couldn't make up my mind. Deciding is not that easy when the choices are infinite and all true.

  I feel a coin appear in my palm, then I toss it up. It drops down and rolls across the ground.

  Okay, if there's a picture on it, I will learn what happened to Yamka by making a wish. If it's a number, then I will go back to the life she is in, to see the consequences of my actions.

  I look over at the coin and see a picture.

  That means I will act omnipotently. But I am a believer in free will, so I will refuse the result of the toss and behave in my own way.

  I will just go there and see with my own eyes.

  I go back to the location in the desert where I saw Yamka for the st time. I look around and see the same metal solid square in the sandy ground. However, all the lids are open wide. Some of them are torn apart by sharp objects. I am not a vampire hunter, and I don't want this to turn out to be a cliché, but those things are definitely dangerous. I still don't know what's happening, and that's a good sign - mystery always pulls my attention. Let me take a look into the coffins.

  I check them one by one, but there's nothing inside. I like the interior of the coffins; they're shiny, dark, and reddish. Let me jump into one of them. I jump into one of the coffins and slide down underground into it. I look up and see the bright sky through the open lid. I scrutinize the interior; the inside of the coffin is soft and shiny. Let me leave here.

  Suddenly, I find myself at the center of the metal solid area. I look down into the coffins and notice that only two of them have a green shine in their interior, while the others are red. That indicates that the green ones belong to Yamka's parents.

  I start to hear a monster's thoughts, and she's right behind me.

  "I will kill her and rip her apart; I will devour her dust," The monster thinks,

  The monster has an ax in her hand and is about to swing it at me. She's a little shorter than me, but if I teleport myself right behind her, as she swings the ax, she'll lose her bance due to the movement and weight of the weapon, and I can take her down.

  The monster swings her ax, and just before it hits my head, I wish to be behind her. I suddenly find myself behind her. As she misses hitting me with the axe, the momentum causes her to fall to the solid ground.

  The monster has red skin, cws, and bck, thin armor, among other features.

  I'm not interested in her details now; I'm focused on finding Yamka. My intention is to find her now.

  The monster tries to stand up, and as she attempts to run away, I wish for chains to tie her up. Chains suddenly emerge from the sand and wrap her tightly, causing her to colpse.

  "You were going to rip me apart and kill me," I say. "Who are you? Do you know who Yamka is?"

  The monster is on her knees, keeping her head down, and avoids eye contact with me.

  I will make her talk.

  I hold her by the hair and make her look at me. "If you don't answer me, I'll throw va on you, and you'll die."

  The monster still refuses to talk to me. I know she's capable of speech, but she just keeps her mouth shut. I realize how weird I sounded when I said I would throw va on her. Anyway, I'm not good at designing cool ways to kill my opponents.

  --

  I can't distract myself with this monster. I better let her go.

  The chains around the monster's body disappear, and she suddenly dashes to her back and runs away.

  She is just a random monster.

  I watch her run across the desert in the distance.

  An idea comes to me. I do it.

  I wish for a lightning bolt to fall on the monster's head. The bolt falls onto the monster's head. The noise and bright light echo across the nd. The monster rolls to the ground.

  However, she is not dead because I don't want to kill her. I think that would be a funny scene, and indeed, it is.

  "Anyway, where is Yamka?" I shout.

  A TV emerges from the sand underneath my bare feet. I step to the side. The TV switches on and shows a video. I watch the video from the beginning to the end and learn the story of Yamka.

  Yamka tries to guess the correct coffins of her family, but while considering the right one, some monsters come by her and try to kill her. However, knowing she will die soon, Yamka opens all the lids one by one. Many are empty, but one has someone in it - a very dangerous person. Also, Yamka finds out her parents are in two of the coffins with green interiors. Before she can take her revenge, the dangerous person crawls out of her coffin and kills everyone. After killing everyone, she flies away with her wings.

  As the clock I created in Yamka's room ticks away, it takes ten minutes, and Yamka dies.

  That's it? That's boring. I rewind the time back to the moment I created these coffins.

  Time starts to move backwards, and I find myself right before Yamka, at the moment I left.

  But this time I will not leave. I do this instead.

  Yamka shouts, "You can't leave me alone here like this! Why does everyone leave me like this? Am I a bad person!"

  She cries on her knees, with her face in her palm.

  I better give her motivation and cheer her up a little.

  I walk over to her and drop to my knees, right in front of her.

  Yamka says, "Stay away!"

  I say, "Yamka, if you want, I can show you the coffins that your parents are in. But tell me one thing..."

  What am I talking about? I try to cheer her up but don't know how. I say something that makes her happy.

  I say, "...Do you love me?"

  Yamka thinks, "She is just making a joke out of me. She thinks I am pathetic. I feel so frustrated, I hope killing my family helps me feel happy."

  I say, "Yamka, do you love me?"

  Yamka raises her head and looks straight into my face. I can see she is furious now. But I just want to hear the answer, that's all. I ask her again.

  I say, "Yamka, do you--"

  Yamka says, "Stop this."

  She stands up, weeping, and walks to the coffins. Her body is still light brown in color, which means she hasn't confessed some of her repressed emotions.

  I stand up and look at her. "What are you doing?"

  Yamka says, "You said two of them will be the coffins of my parents. I will just find them."

  I say, "But except for the two, the rest is dangerous."

  Yamka says, "I don't fear death anymore."

  I am done with this. I wish for the coffins of Yamka's parents to lift up. The coffins elevate in the air from underground, standing still.

  Oops, my bad, the lids of the coffins are above, so in this position, they can't come out easily. I erase the coffins in existence instead. The two coffins disappear, leaving two people behind - those are Yamka's parents. They are fine and full of life, I mean alive.

  Yamka, as she sees her parents, her body color changes from light brown to green. She gets her monstrous look back, with her tail appearing.

  I say, "From now on, I will not be around. Do whatever you want. I will leave. Hey, listen to me."

  Yamka touches the faces of her parents with her bare hands, wishing to control them. With that wish, her power activates itself, and her parents get paralyzed in an instant. Then she looks at me.

  "Starch, you can leave," she says. "I will take my revenge in my way."

  Then she looks back at her parents.

  "That's it," Yamka thinks, "We will live happily in my room forever. I will take my revenge on you by making you do the worst thing you fear most - Loving me."

  ==

  I am sad about the parents, and I would interfere now. But if I help the family, then I would leave Yamka frustrated. My existence doesn't change anything. Whatever I do, there will remain an imbance.

  To be honest, I don't care. I love everyone. I am even happy looking at Yamka and her family because I love everyone, I mean I love their bodies. Anyway, I don't want to get involved with this anymore.

  I wait until Yamka and her parents walk away. And when they leave me alone in the desert, the moon rises, and it gets dark. I look at the metal solid area where the rest of the coffins are. I walk over to them and stop at the center of the metal area. I am standing among the closed coffins, buried barely underground.

  Where is that charming person with wings? She killed everyone in the video I watched. Oh, she is in the coffin at the very end in the area on the right bottom.

  I kick the lid open, and suddenly someone starts to crawl onto the sandy ground. She crawls a little away, and I walk along as she keeps moving forward. One moment she stops, and I squat down. And she rolls onto her back slowly. She inhales and exhales slowly. I look at her face.

  "You want power, right?" I ask.

  That dangerous person nods slowly.

  "I can know everything about you, but I don't care. There is one thing I want to do if you want power. You need to do something for me. And I don't care about your ethics on how to use it. Are you with me?"

  She blinks in agreement. I understand that she wants me to go on.

  "You will just sleep with me. That's the only condition. Don't take it in that way. There is no sexuality involved. We will just sleep together one night, and you will get your wish granted by me. That's all. Are you okay with my terms?"

  She thinks, "I can do anything to get out of here! I will get the power, then I will kill her and fly away. Let me py with her."

  I read her thoughts, but I will not tell her that I know her intention. And I don't care if she kills me at the end of the night. I need just one night spent with intimacy.

  "If you agree now, just blink your right eye."

  She blinks her right eye.

  "That is good. Let me lie down right next to you. So, we can spend the night together."

  I stand up, walk next to her, lie down, and hug her arms while she is still lying in the same position.

  Knowing that she ughs at me in her mind bothers me a little, but in my situation, even rented intimacy is as rexing for my soul as sincere intimacy. I haven't found it yet, though.

  "Okay, let's fall asleep," I say. "As we wake up and kiss each other, I will endow you with the power. After you get your power, we can go to a restaurant to eat some cakes. Technically, there are none of those in this life, but with the power I will give you, we can go to another life and... You have closed your eyes. You are right. It's time for us to sleep."

  She thinks, "Maybe I better kill her now and devour her dust to gather some energy. Later, I can fly to my territory. I don't think she will be capable of giving anything to me, but her death. But now, I am too weak to fight. Let me rest. I don't sense any danger."

  I wonder where I will end up if she kills me, and I allow her to kill me. It gives me some uncertainty. Anyway, let me sleep so I can grant her power in the next morning as we wake up.

  I close my eyes and fall asleep.

  I find myself on top of a rge building, with lots of fts, penetrating through the clouds in the sky.

  I sit up.

  The environment has changed from the desert to this location. That dangerous person killed me for sure. She couldn't even wait until the morning. I was definitely going to give her the power, but she has preferred some energy over unlimited energy. What a stupid decision. Then we call humans the weakest of all creatures.

  She chose instant gratification. That's her life. It doesn't bother me at all.

  I look around.

  There is no one.

  I sigh. "Let me give the power I mentioned to the first person I see."

  As I finish my words, the door that leads to this roof opens, and someone comes out. I see her. She sees me. She has a mop in her hand and has a headphone on her head.

  I smile at her. She smiles back at me.
