Can You Really Survive In America?

Chapter 58: The Mist of Eternaforest 2

Bayo opened his mouth to respond, but the words caught in his throat. He stared at his other self, mind racing with questions he couldn't quite form.

Bayo's mind whirled, fragments of wisdom from Adeola, his mother, and even Èsù coalescing into a nebulous understanding. The trial before him suddenly seemed less about finding a wayward wolverine and more about unearthing something buried deep within himself.

"But how do I—" he began, his voice tinged with frustration.

The ancient Bayo raised a hand, silencing him with a gesture. "Your mother's words, Bayo. The lessons you've learned. Trust your ori, your inner head. The path will reveal itself."

Before Bayo could protest, his doppelgänger retreated into the depths of his consciousness, leaving him alone on the vast, dark ocean of his mind.
