„to begin is to take the first step to the end, and the end is just a new beginning"
Breathe in…
Fresh smell of the forest hit Aries.
Leaves falling from the tree he woke up under
Needles from surrounding it pines.
And magnificent trees around him…
.
.
Just trees.
A lot of trees.
.
.
5 minutes of walking in , hopefully , one direction later.
Aries could clearly see one thing.
He has no idea where is he
Where did he wake up
What direction is that place.
Absolutely nothing.
Just the fact that the goddess was somehow near him.
But apart from that - nothing
-so…..-Aries started to ask hrt for help.
-what now?-
Moment of silence.
-ummm. Goddess? -Aries was talking to the empty sky, hoping she would hear him
-IM THINKING. THIS IS NOT A COMMONLY TRAVERSED AREA – goddess responded while sounding like she was trying to remember a distant memory.
-aren`t you …what was the word..- Aries also had to remember the word -Ah, omniscient?-
-JUST LIKE YOU KNEW THAT WORD, BECAUSE YOU DON`T USE IT YOU FORGOT ABOUT IT – still thinking and massaging her head to remember the way.
Aries wanted to respond mid way the sentence
But he realized that she was absolutely correct.
And decided not to embarrass himself more
ANYWAYS. – Goddess seemed to have remembered – GO EAST.
-what is east? -Aries asked confused
EAST. THE DIRECTION.WHERE THE SUN RISES –
explaining it like to a child.
-no no, I know that. I meant what is there -
OH . SORRY ABOUT THAT- goddess was … sorry and surprised.
That's a new one.
Divine being apologizing.
And not remembering the way.
.
Aries shrugged and started to wonder where east is.
Huh. Where is east now.
Pines are quite tall.
And provide a lot of shadow here.
So.. not sure where the sun even is.
Even if he did know, what time it is?
Morning, evening?
LEFT – goddess helped.
-Ah. Thank you.- now he the surprised one.
And so he headed left.
