You kneel down and reach, tentatively at first, with your hand into the strange black gap in the clouds. Your hand totally disappears and you hastily withdraw it. You are unharmed. It is almost as if your hand had left this realm.
If you wish to enter the black hole, turn to 269.
If you wish to explore any of the other gaps in the cloud, turn to 119.
If you decide to continue towards the Crystal Tower, turn to 302.
If you have the Magical Power of Prophecy and wish to use it, turn to 337.
