May 21st, 2011

I found myself again inside this dream, floating in a neverending darkness, where i couldnt feel anything, neither good nor bad. It was a sensation of peace, like if nothing else mattered, like if i could just continue staying there and forget about anything, but how can something like that exist... or should i say "not exist"? I could remember the dream perfectly, like if it was a recent past, but i couldnt grasp the pass of the time, i guess you cant when there is absolutely nothing.

    And again, a deep voice surrounded the empty air and all that "nonexistance" dissapeared, the darkness was still there, but i could feel something from it, i cant explain it with words, but is just like the feeling i get when i concentrate on another magic energy, since i arrived to this world i was wondering what this energy was, without getting an answer. I was floating, facing a big vertical flaming eye, just like watching closely a flame, it even felt hot but... well it was a little but... damn i think im forgetting the dream little by little, but just this part i wonder why... i remembered that the eye spoke to me, but not with a voice, not a voice from a mouth at least... he was talking into my mind, but without any voice tone, like if i were thinking myself... is becoming too hard to explain this, i dont even know what im saying anymore... i think he said something about a... it was a... sigh, i cant remember.

    I woke up, laid on the usual bed, with a strong body pain and a moderate headache, not so hard as yesterday but still pretty strong. I tried to sit on the bed, something quiet simple, but incredible hard to me at that moment. When i placed my right hand on the bed to support my body on the arm, a sharp pain covered my whole arm, stopping at my shoulder like a hammer. when i looked at it, i saw a strange scar, covered by a burn, because of that i remembered the fight i had with the wizard-hunter, that damn orc... i think he was called karcis... no wait, kurfa.. or was it kurfist? i guess i will remember with the time, is not that urgent to remember.

    I managed to sit down properly, with my back lean on the bed headboard. The room was as usual, i guess this place never change; Ariel was on the small desk where i usually write this, sleeping loudly, it was kind of awesome how pleasent he could sleep on a hard place. Seara wasnt there, he couldnt be outside is what i thought then, and finally Maat, as usual she wasnt there, not the kind of woman to standby on the same place for a long time.

    Little by little, the fatigue starting to fade away, but the pain was getting stronger, at these times im grateful of the little white magic tricks Erestor taught me; with a single thought, i could dissipate the pain on my body, sadly it was just that, temporary, and the mental fatigue that it created was something i couldnt recover without resting properly. My arm was still functional, guess that my fast thinking on the battle saved it, although it ended a little messy, i wonder if Maat or Lorre know how to reattach an arm, looks difficult... and painful. I finally decided to stood up from the bed and stretch my body, the little time ive been in this world taught me to apreciate the night rest, it was more convenient to just rest the body than to force it to recover.

    I waited for a while on the room, looking around over things i already knew about and stretching my body to kill the boredom, Maat was taking her time... I was tempted to awake Ariel, so we could talk about nothing specific and that way entertain me, but he hated me a bit already, no need to agravate it but forcing him to awake; i tried summoning Seara too, but he didnt answer my call.

    Finally, i decided to leave the small house and wander around the town, lately i cant stay in one place a lot of time, and this damn feeling of frustration keeps bothering me since im "living" on this ghost town. The streets were just the same, something simple because noone lived there, but there wasnt even dust, or things missplaced because of the wind, like if the time stopped there.

    I remember a little of the ways i should take on the city, but i get easily lost. I remembered my time on the goblin lands, the horns took my memories of the terrain and created a map that i could see clearly, it remind me of something we use in our world called "GPS" quiet handy to be honest... I activated the flame horns and thought about my surroundings, a few seconds later the image of a map started appearing on my vision, but it was really vague and just a few parts were complete, the rest was blank. There were a few complete paths, they started on a specific place and ended on another; but there were too some paths that ended nowhere.

    I tried focusing on the place i was yesterday, what seems to be Lorre's house, then one of the shapes representing buldings started to shine slightly. I started following the path to Lorre's house, luckily this "function" of the horns didnt create a too big mental fatigue, looks like the problem was the slow motion perception...

    After a hard walking over all the rubbish, i arrived to the place Maat guided me to yesterday, even from outside i could hear a pair of voices and it got me curious. I entered the house, trying to not be discovered, concentrating on it strongly and at the same time trying to hear their conversation, but i could just hear pieces from where i was "...ut of c..." "...ary to res..." "...e need to d..." it was becoming a real nuissance, every time i though i heard something the sentence was lost in the air and couldnt hear it completely, so i decided to get closer to them, it was then when i could heard the conversation properly.

she listened carefully as i was saying what i saw, when i described her the man and the words he said, her eyes opened widely. - Are you sure of what you heard? - She could finally say after muttering meaningless words for a moment; i just nodded quietly, waiting for her answer. - How did he find out... damn, he must have "sense" what happened yesterday... - Yesterday? Now that i think about it, i blacked out without defeating the orc, how did i appear alive today, was it Maat's doing? She was watching me while i was surprised at first and then thinking deeply, she then changed her expresion to one of incredulity - Dont you remember what you did yesterday? you suddenly shooted that strange black ball of energy and that damn orc ate it... it was really strange, he suddenly stopped moving and then his eyes and mouth started to glow wildly, i was blind for a second, when i could see again he dissapeared leaving a hole on the floor and you were past out on the floor.

    I dont remember doing anything like that... but Maat's didnt look like she was lying either, at least she didnt lied to me yet. I just moved my head from side to side, trying to remember what she told me, but it was useless, like if i didnt live that moment. - She is telling you the truth - Looks like Ariel woke up because of our conversation and decided to participate too - Yesterday i felt a strong explosion of magic, i guess is what the lady here is telling you... by the way, i think it would be a nice idea to get out of here, something tell me the more we stay here the more danger we are in... well the more danger YOU are in, your choice young boy.

This was going again too fast, can't i stay in the same place more than a month or what? i decided to take Ariel's advice and arrange my things into a little cloth bag, i too didnt want to stay there much more time after hearing that man words. When i was about to leave the room, Maat stopped me by blocking the door with her body. - Just what is your plan, genius? leave the city alone and without food? just how many days do you think you will survive out there? - I didnt want to listen to her, but she was right, i couldnt even leave the city without the barrier noticing it and, even if i escape from there where should i go, i dont even know where i am right now. I doubt about everything in just a second, but there was no other choice, i didnt want to go with that man to who knows for what, probably nothing good.

    Look, there are a lot of things i should explain you, i know that, but if what you told me is true we dont have a lot of time. I will... damn... i will help you, just this time, ok? but you will need to help me later, deal? - She stood there, waiting for my answer, not moving an inch, i cant say if she was determined or just simple stubborn; still she was offering me her help, and now i need all the help i can, so i accepted the deal with a quiet nodding of my head. She then turned around and left the room, telling me to follow her. I gave a quick glance to the room i was living until a few days ago, i think im going to miss to sleep in a good place for a while... Ariel came flying to me and got on my hand - If you want my advice, dont use any magic until you are far, faaar away from the city. If you need my vast and great knowledge, just open the book - cocky fairy... after finishing talking he just turned into the same book he appeared from, was this some kind of strange fairy magic?

Funny symbols or grammatical errors.. which one!?
