Cubic Confinement

Date: 5/29/2016

Cubic confinement This is it! I parry his poisenous blade and strike, but He's played me right into his trap; millimetres before my sword reaches him, he falls back into a portal. I manage to stumble in after him and whatevers left of his army comes in after and it closes. The extordinary ice cold winds against my body surprises me as i try to get my barings, but a sudden wave of vertigo hits me and i realise Im falling. "Wings would be great right about now!" I estimate im about 50,000 feet, i have to look for water, no use all the lakes are frozen over. Im too buzy looking at the ground that i forget about whats around me, i notice the ground bends and comes up on its side. I survey this place im in and the planets structure resembles a box, a giant cube with landscapes on the inside of each face. I look behind me to find a wall of alpine tree tops, the canopy looks like a soft dark green carpet but i know better. Theres a layer of snow covering everything. It looks thin so my best option would be to aim at the canopy and brace myself. I must have blacked out, and now i find myself slumped in a pile of snow, every bone in my body is broken and over half of the snow around me is painted red. Theres no chance of me going anywhere for a few hours at least, and fall asleep. I wake with a jolt, half burried in snow and completely healed. Red flashing lights and syrens go off in the night. Perhaps ive been found, i check for my sword and yes its still sheathed. I get ready to make a dash but the syren stops and the snow under me slips as i fall back into the wall of trees and hit the snowy ground from where they come from. I get up, brush myself off and i am immediately confused... The wall of trees are now coming from the ground. "Well this could be fun..." After some time in this weird place i figure out that after 24 hours the planets gravity shifts to another face on the frozen cubic planet hence the syrens. My enemy is searching for me, there have been countless amounts of hunting parties, dogs and accasional demon to watch out for, but nothing too serious yet. Time passes, years go by and i continue to wait, for what? I dont know. I keep my enemy alive because without him hunting me, desperately trying to kill me i have nothing to do in this world. Centuries have passed now, ive memorised the lanscape of all six faces, and its strange, there is still night and day but with no sun, this world is very plesant, or it would be if its gravity didnt shift every day. I've noticed on one of the faces there is a small wooden cottage next to a lake, surrounded by woods. However i dare not enter, i have no explaination for the bad feeling i get about it. My enemy has grown stronger, he resembles a giant beast. And the moment ive been waiting for, for over a millenium has finally come. This will be our final duel. I find him in a valley near a corner of the cube. He towers over me, he was a formidable opponent before but now his power is 10 fold. Adrenaline pumping, nothing like a good fight. The duel lasts for days and tiring him out doesnt seem to be working, i make a dash, changing direction so i now go straight at him with all my speed, i slice through his flesh, then darting away like an annoying fly, however if i get hit im sure itll be more like a flyswatter. I quickly find out that i was right, with a single blow i go flying, crashing through at least ten metres of rock. I lay there for a while, not quite dead yet but much closer than i had ever been. My cross amulet starts to levitate and glows blue, God still has a plan and a smile runs across my face. I slowly get up, grab my sword and take a breath. Then i open my eyes and burst out of the hole, breaking the sound barrier, with God's power pumping through my veins i grin like the moon, eyes of a snake i am the apex predator hungry for the kill. He pre-emtively swings but im already there, my blade slices between two ribs and i go flying past, dissappearing. He grabs at his side and by now ive made it to a forrest in the distance, landing on a tree i spring back, faster, he begins to turn around but ive sliced through his achillies heal. He goes down on one knee, faster, over the left shoulder; faster, right knee; faster, left eye; faster, across his chest; Faster! Down his back, he yells out in agony and stands up in rage, Faster! Cutting through his left knee cap, Faster! Right ear, left foot, through his pelvis, under his left thigh, Faster! He swings in desperation and his claw gets my cheek, stinging, my eyes widen and instead of going for under his arm i twist the handle a few degrees and get him between fingers, cracking through his wrist and up through his forearm and he screams "ENOUGH!" This is it, one more push, this demon that has haunted me for as long as i can remember, ive finally bested him. Faster! Ill bring him to his knees, i flip my sword backwards, and strike him in the back of the head with the handle, shattering his skull, into dust perhaps and he falls, not quite dead. The final blow, i go flying past, my amulet once again glowing, i hit a wall on the other side of this cubic world, i scream, my eyes burst into a white flame as does my sword, i blow a huge crator into the wall as i push off it, flipping my sword the right way once more. This time the heart, in nanoseconds im within an inch of his skin, pause; not in hesitation but time slows very briefly, then i peirce through his rubbery body and then through the unbeating heart. The flames go out and the body falls limp. Large cracking sounds and a flash of white, the planet is falling apart and the portal reopened at the top of the planet 50,000 ft in the air. I take a few steps back, run up and jump with as much force as i could, running up falling debrees such as trees and rocks, i was finally getting out of here. almost 3/4 up and theres no more debrees, i run up the last rock and spring over to the right. Running up the trees of the alpine forest like steps and i know theres only one way to get to the portal, i absolutely gun it and reach the top corner, turn 90 degrees and i sprint across the top face of the planet, cracking under my feet, constantly breaking the sound barrier isnt helping that much either. there, only seconds away, i brace myself and wonder if the angels think im dead or not. I make it, my body phases through the portal and i let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps Jesus is waiting for me on the other side, a sight of warmth, something i havent seen in centuries. I brace myself because last time i came out in the air, but no, this time i come out on the ground. I look around and find myself in a savanah, i look down, im standing on a road. "Earth!?" A white four wheel drive goes wizzing past and i make eye contact with the young boy in the back. I stand there, unable to move. The boy in the back, its me. I physically open my eyes and i make eye contact with myself through myself. Now my future self is here in the present on Earth.
