Cory looks around to see if he can find something to poke at the ground with, hopefully alleviating the nasty prospect of falling into a pit.  "So, we need to find our way back inside, then?  Is that right, you guys?"

Goldie: Be, because I was supposed to be at a different Maze...
Goldie: And me coming here was really last minute...

Goldie: Um, be careful outside, okay?  I'll lead you to the next room soon.

"Wait, but how were you supposed to be in a different maze if you didn't exist?" I ask, continuing to pull at the thread.
“Hast thou not felt in forest gloom, as gloaming falls on dark-some dells, when comes a whisper, hum and hiss; savage growling sounds a-near, dazzling flashes around thee flicker, whirring waxes and fills thine ears: has thou not felt then grisly horrors that grip thee and hold thee?”

"Do fragments only exist inside or did I miss something?" Cory asks, almost simultaneously.

Becca
Goldie: Like I said!  Things that don't exist do have their presence felt here.  In this whole void.
Goldie: I was all prepared for a different Maze, but I had to come here.

Cory
Goldie: Um, fragments can exist anywhere, but in this Maze there aren't any outside.
Goldie: Since you aren't really supposed to be outside and all...

"Oh...right..." says Cory in confusion.  "So the problem is we're supposed to go through the door that exists, but we can't, because the pit...uh...doesn't?"

I hold my head. "But...you just said you aren't a constant, and that you didn't exist at all before this maze was created. So, we created you, but you already sort of existed...?"

Goldie: No, uh, okay.

Goldie: So there's Medusa.  She's a constant.  She exists in every Green Maze without fail.  She is the one and only Green Beast, no matter who or what creates her.  No matter what fragments are used.
Goldie: I'm not a constant.  I've only ever existed in the shadow of your Pillar.
Goldie: I didn't exist before you created this maze, but as I've been saying what doesn't exist is just as important as what does.
Goldie: You're in the void.  You're in nonexistence itself.
Goldie: Before you created this Maze, when I didn't exist, I was going to come into existence in another Maze.
Goldie: But to stop the instability in the Pillar I had to come into existence here.
Goldie: Okay?

Goldie: And to you, yes, exactly.  It's past the time to worry about what makes sense and what doesn't.

"okay.  so...  pardon my french, but are you the yellow beast?  You are, of course, not bestial in the least, but each maze seems to have one..." Louise pauses for a moment, her mind wandering to the bloody cave, "...or more presences known as 'beasts'.  Your nonexistence before this world was created is consistent with at least one other beast we have met."

"Wait, what beast have we met other than the one that savagely and brutally murdered me because you screamed? Did we have a conversation with her that I forgot?"

"To address your concern Cory, What Goldie has been attempting to say is that things that don't exist and things that do exist both technically exist in the void.  Perhaps it is harder for you to grasp because you didn't use the telescope.  The telescope created images of things that did not exist, but since we are in the void, those things still Void-existed.  When I looked at Holy, I saw many holies, only the one original holy existed, but all of the images I saw still quasi-existed.  They reacted to my creating them and began to stare.  In that way, even though the pit and the door did not exist, they still are just as real as you or me."

Louise puts her hands on her hips and turns to becca.  "If you consult the books in the library, you will find we have met four beasts including Holy.  We did avoid the orange beast by staying out of the darkness, however.  Give it some thought.  Who else seems to have no memory of existing prior to our arrival?"

Goldie: Ah, yes, I am the Yellow Beast.  It's not a great name, though, right?
Goldie: At least the other one sounded prettier...

Goldie: Oh, and it sounds like you met the Red Beast...
Goldie: She's pretty scary.  That's all you really need to say about her...

"Huh, didn't realize that Holy and Kusuri were beasts. Makes some sense, I suppose. As for the Red Beast...well, I do kind of like her style. The killing wasn't strictly necessary, though."

"Well, then, why did Louise say 'including Holy'? Does that make Kusuri and Sara both beasts?"

"No, I suppose the book had erroneous terminology.  I was talking about Sara, not Kusuri."

"Regardless, Goldie, I don't suppose you know why people are sent to the void?"  Louise exists through the door to the outside world.

As you leave the room, Holy follows you.

Goldie: Ah, that's... that's the hard question.
Goldie: Um, I can answer it, but I'm not sure if you'll be happy with the answer...

Goldie: No, that's pretty much it.  Your world ended and you're currently in the aftermath.

Louise sighs, another weight on her shoulder increasing.  "I see.  Well, do you know what happens when we gather the fragments?"  Louise crunches the snow underfoot.  The familiar sound relaxes her somewhat.
