I know how the sense of vision works. So I know, she is. It was me who just never noticed it.

But yes, point to be noted, I had also seen One moving that day. So, deep down I knew that things never actually stopped in time but had extremely slowed down. And since nobody said to have noticed it, I started calling it universal…

NO!! It's not the time to be diving into these thoughts. She's not believing me! My last hope! I'll have to convince her somehow!!

"Time doesn't stop but slows down, okay. I accept that. But they are the same thing. Also, shades don't follow the laws of physics, so they can do anything." I said in my defence.

"Shades don't follow the laws of physics but their consequences do." She countered while standing in front of me and I was left speechless after hearing that. I had nothing else to say this time. I understood everything that she was trying to tell me and they were defying my logic. She had explained everything with just those few words, but they were still so complex for me that my words weren't enough to explain them. "We don't know the boundaries of the universe too, so how can you be so sure when calling it universal. Also, you are calling an almost absolute. How are they the same??"

"Stop arguing with your soon to be student, bitch. Rathe-"

"You Shut Up!" She quickly turned to Reada and shouted, who was cutting in.

No- but, he's right. Her fighting with me, won't help me, nor my arguing with her and trying to state my point true. 

Yes, if I really want to become a lord then I'll have to throw away this attitude of mine.

"I understand it now, l wasn't able to think this way before but now I can after hearing you! But still, I don't know what is wrong with my shade or me that I can't use it properly. All my theories have been proved wrong by you, yet I still wish to know the real reason behind it, because I want to learn using it." I said as I pushed back my right foot and got its knee on the ground. So, this is the level of a lord. And while taking support with my elbow on my other knee and my other hands fist on the ground, I requested while bowing my head down, "So, Please teach me, ma'am." 

"The day you teach yourself something, that's when you improve as a learner." I heard her joyful voice saying. "Now activate your shade and let me see what kind of world you actually stop!"

I looked up after hearing her permitting me and saw that her right eye had activated, into Netveldiya.

Honestly, I have always been a bit afraid of the world that I see after activating my shade. But this time I didn't hesitate even a bit to activate it, because this time I knew I had her. 

I activated my shade and saw everything stop, my body and her too. And soon I started to feel like losing my senses of smelling, hearing and touching.

This was the feeling I have always feared. Even though my eyes are seeing, my body is touching, my ears are hearing, even if I want to blink my eyes I can't do that. Sensing the same thing continuously, makes your mind go numb, and so makes you unable to sense anytime passing by too. This is the feeling I've always wanted to conquer. This is the state I've always feared… 

The feeling of falling into a bottomless void. The fear of falling… into the deep unknown darkness.
