Something I Wrote
The trail was old and ruined. Walking through the forest i found an old road you see, what once was probably an old highway to town. It was made of cobble and moss had filled its cracks, what used to be the curbs of the street are now mounds of river stones and moss. The trees lining the old path have made their way onto the dieing road, new trees sprinkled all over the ruined trail.
It was late spring, early summer. It was still cold, winter had lingered, but it was warm when the sun hit my face. I was going through this feeling of euforia, was this a dream? It was so peaceful. There were no sounds, no birds singing, and no wind to rustle the trees. The feeling came across me like a cup being filled with warm water. I've never felt like that before, I’m... happy. No, I'm at peace.
The device was bronze and copper. It was a sphere there were buttons and slides, you could move it around like a rubix cube. I had just found it, laying there, awaiting a new owner.
The cup, a chalice, felt like it was made of gold. It also had slides and buttons like the sphere. The sphere and the chalice had the same foreign markings, perhaps a long forgotten language?
The creature had pale blue skin, its human like features were beautiful. It stood about six feet and it stood straight. As i approached it there was a poof of a purple mist and i saw it was too far away to have ran there. It spoke from its distance in what i guessed was the language on my new items. As i raised them to look at my cup and sphere, the creature teleported by my side and took them from me.
Before i could oppose him he twisted and turned the sphere till it started to glow a faint blue light, then he put it on the chalise. The old mechanical sounds coming from my objects made my head hurt. when i opened my eyes i saw they turned into a staff and the creature was kneeling and offering me the staff like a knight would offer a noble king his sword. I took it.
Where am i? My feet don't touch the ground but i'm not falling. I can't see, its so dark… but i'm not scared. The feeling of euforia is so strong, everything feels right. Nothingness surrounds me and i'm at peace. The voice tells me only what i need to know.
I'm back in my world, my simple journey now a challenging quest, and now i move on with my new power to fulfil my destiny.
