Whirlpool of Time

Navigating through the ocean of information in the fourth dimension completely altered Rizal's perception of time. Here, past, present, and future were not linear as he knew in the three-dimensional world. Everything occurred simultaneously, intertwined in a complex network that was difficult for the human mind to grasp.

At one point, as he followed the flow of energy through a spinning tunnel of light, he sensed a distortion, an anomaly within the fabric of reality. He was dragged into a whirlpool of incredibly strong energy, spun and thrown in all directions. Images flashed before him, fragments from the past and future, jumbled without clear order.

He saw dinosaurs walking the prehistoric Earth, then in a blink, he found himself amidst a futuristic city full of skyscrapers and flying vehicles. He saw familiar faces, people he knew from his past, but in unfamiliar situations and contexts.

"What... what is happening?" he asked Professor Indri, his voice filled with confusion and a hint of fear.

But his mentor's answer did not come immediately. Rizal sensed Professor Indri's presence nearby, but he too seemed trapped in the whirlpool of time, his consciousness fragmented and distorted.

"We need to get out of here, Professor!" Rizal exclaimed, trying to control his panic. "This whirlpool... it's distorting our perception of reality!"

He tried to recall what he had learned from the Architects. The fourth dimension responded to desires and imagination. He needed to focus his mind, create an exit from the chaos.

He imagined a stable point outside the whirlpool, a place where the flow of time returned to normal. He focused all his energy and willpower to reach that point.

Slowly, amidst the confusing whirl of time, he began to feel a pull, an exit. He followed the pull, directing his consciousness towards the stable point he imagined.

And then, like a soap bubble popping, the whirlpool of time vanished. Rizal found himself back in the ocean of information in the fourth dimension, but this time with a deeper understanding of the flexible and relative nature of time.

He saw Professor Indri nearby, also looking slightly disoriented but safe. They exchanged glances, realizing they had just touched upon one of the most mysterious aspects of the fourth dimension.

"We must be cautious, Rizal," said Professor Indri, his voice now more serious. "This dimension is full of wonders, but it's also filled with dangers. We must always be vigilant and respect its laws."

Rizal nodded, realizing that their journey in the fourth dimension had only just begun, and there was much they still needed to learn about this extraordinary reality.
