From what I can see, There is nothing, not a single thing pulling, controlling or doing anything to the purple particles, it is like they all just suddenly started moving in the same direction, or are being pulled in, like there is a vortex there.
I have watched, zoomed and done everything I can, but the answer is still not there. Maybe I can control the particles becuase I just can, or I can make a vortex to pull in the particles but tha would mean I have some form of control. There is only one way to find out, it is not like watching anymore would help anyway.
...
Snapping back to reality, still seeing nothing. I first try to see if I can see those particles like I could in the memory. I try to zoom in, like I did my memories, which felt like I had put on binoculars, mimicing the proccess, I went just one step away from being blind, I could now see the bright light of a purple particle, in all its... purplness. I had zoomed in too much. From my perspective this thing looked bigger than a building, though in reality, was smaller than a strand of hair, if not smaller.
Confirming I could, in fact, zoom and see the particles. I had to first learn, never go max power on the zooming, second I could now move onto the next step, throwing and seeing what sticks, starting with creating a vortex, aka. creating a force that pulls things in from all angles.
Using the same method as zooming, I imagine myself, or in this case, the void, appearing and pulling in from all sides, and learning my lesson on the full drive, I don't go too crazy, which worked, but not at what I needed it to work on. I can feel a sligh pulling sensation from wher I imagined the vortex to be. I look near the vortex, watching the particles, which were flowing without care, clearly not being pulled in, so just as I had created the vortex, I dispersed it.
Now to try and move the particles directly. I used the same method of imagination as last time, and made a single particle to move how I wanted, and it did. I then tried to combine it with the another particle, which also worked, but I then lost control once the purple turned blue, then spitting back apart, both turning purple again.
Seeing that it half worked, I tried to instead control both the particles and make the combine, which, again worked, until, I once again, lost control, and it spit back apart. I need some way to keep control of the blue particles, or at least some way to prevent it from splitting again.

'This is annoying'
I have so far, tried to make a sphere prison to keep the particles inside of, which worked, reminding me of fireflies. And I don't know why this worked, and the vortex didn't. But the particles still split even inside the sphere, and if I make the sphere soo small that there is no room to split, the sphere breaks from the pressure, which also created ripples when the sphere broke, making me feel dizzy, like I had been thrown around.
Maybe the sphere prison worked because I wanted it to contain the particles, no that's stupid, I am just grasping at straws, but then again, I don't exactly know how being a dungeon worked, I also looked at the other memories, though they were interesting, they are useless right now.
Well, it is not like I have any other ideas, maybe grasping as straws is what I need to do. I decide to test this on the vortex first, as the last time I used it, it failed, so it would be a good place to start.
Going through the same process as last time, with the addition of wanting it to pull particles. I form the vortex, just like last time, I watch the particles nearby.
...
Though it was not much, there was a pull, a very weak, and slow pull, but there was a pull. I decide to put a bit more into the vortex, to make it faster, which it did do, but I had forgotten my lesson, I had put it to full power. The vortex began to pull fast, and heavy, all the particles in the area, instantly, shot towards the vortex, faster than bullets, in less than a second, there were no more particles in the area, as they were all gathered in 1 single spot.
The particles in the vortex were rapidly combining, becoming blue, and growing rapidly, until they had all combined into 1 big ball. through this process, I was fighting, not the pull, as it itself did not affect me, but, instead gave me a headache that continued to grow, until, I had turned down the vortex enough to stop it.
...
After recovering enough to continue. I look back at the vortex, specifically the ball which had grown while I was recovering, as well as noticing that the vortex was still pulling in particles, even though, there were none left, I then noticed that all around me the particles that had all been absorbed, had been replaced, maybe more particles manifested, or came from some place to fill in the gap I made.
Regardless this has solved the problem of expanding the sphere, as it will just expand on its own over time, I even double checked with my memory, to make sure I am doing it right, and I am. All I can do for the moment is wait for the sphere which I will call my sight, from now on. to grow big enough to actually see something, something that isn't the nothingness, or particles, but something new.
...
While waiting for my sight to grow, I look back in my memories, looking at the next one over, and begin to watch it.
I immediately see that this memory is in a cave, like the last. And I can see what I think is a core, giving off a blue shimmering light, in the centre of the cave, reminding me of the saying, 'A diamond in the rough'. I then notice that one of the walls, now has a chunk missing from it, I then watch as another disappear, shining blue, before it disappears, then another, and another, until the wall now has a new opening, leading to a dead end, that still grows further and further away. The memory cuts off just then.
