Deeply

Once more, they came back close to the river. But they never met before, and as soon as they looked at each other, sadness went away, and their mouths drew a nice curve, reflecting some light. The sun shone, as if it hadn't shone for a long time. But, it was simply rising, loosing its cold, to become progressively warm.

It expressed itself by showing its sun rays, and each of them has reached underwater, crossing immediatly the boundary between water and air. These bright lines offered a whole panel of color, of reflection. We could clearly note there was burning passion in their look ; and they breathed, and they gathered their souls to these chill nature, so that everything and everyone made juste one.

It was now setting down, still blazing and blinding, until the farthest of every places. And since it has disappeared, both jumped without thinking they could drown themselves. They were not swimming, they were not wet, because this river was strangely the driest place ever known on earth. Even the desert was not that dry, was not that dangerous. Was it water ? Was it something new ?

No one could answer, because this place was unknown, and only these two persons knew what it was, without to understand what they were about to discover. Beneath them, they saw another world, which was mixing fire to water, and earth to air. The wind was unrecognizable, because it didn't blow as it would have done usually. Fire was not orange any more, its appearance went to the opposite, and it was not going up, it was not straight and dangerous either.

All that it could do is to be swallowed by water... Or was it the contrary ? They didn't know. And since ground metamorphosed into void to let the wind go through, nothing could have been as wonderful, as surprising as this. Who could have thought there was such a place under ourselves ? They finally arrived on the ground, keeping in mind the idea of another world ; they certainly thought it was like Journey in the center of the earth, written by Jules Verne, and this place was really familiar to this another world.

Yet, there was no way to go back, and the ceiling seemed closed. After a while, this man and this woman felt as stuck as are the birds in their cages, because there was no way to escape at all. And now, there were left to their own devices, no one could help them ; indeed, they had to help each other to survive to their future death.

Far and away, the last source of light ran away, making them gradually drown in the darkness. They feared, because wind stopped to blow, and fire stopped to consume itself, there was only silence left, with some noises of step, in front of them, but not only, there were also strange screams coming from far behind. They heard many blows on a wall, or onto a rock. 

They thought it was the end, the very end of their lives...
But, all of a sudden, they fell anew.
