Chereads / Abessyria Chronicles / Chapter 2 - Prologue 02

Chapter 2 - Prologue 02

I dreamt of fog

The white fog was impenetrable as I looked everywhere around myself. Everything was blurry and white. There is no sun, no land and nothing. The only thing I could feel is my own moving body body and the thing I am walking

I was heading somewhere, somewhere that I don't even know. Looking down, only thing I saw is my things and below that is only the fog

'Wait...., why...I.....am.... naked.... ?'

I become baffled by the situation of my own body and tries to cover my groin with both of my hand but my hand also didn't move. After trying many time I gave up and looked around my self

No one is visible

I sighed in relief and tries to clear my head of from embarassing thought

'It.....feel.....like ....an..... exhibitionist....'

With my things dangling between my legs

'Sigh'

'excluding....the.... unnecessary....thought'

I was walking on something, something soft like glass but but it swayed as my feet land on it

'Water.....?'

'Wait...where....am....I...?'

I pondered with my hazy mind. My thoughts were slow and my mind was muddy. It felt like my body is on autopilot, heading towards somewhere. And from my own feelings I am sure that it was heading towards a predetermined destination

I tried to make sound but nothing came out from my mouth. It only opened a little

'What....the....hell...is....going....on...here...?'

It was an unknown place

I can't move my body parts, not I was able to hear any sound or make any sound, only able to see and walk. It was a scenario that everyone will afraid, in my case I can't help but feel a little peaceful here

'It's...like...all...my.... worries....are...gone..and... I'm....free'

Then again it is also scary to feel all those things in an unknown environment

'I...want...to... return...'

My thoughts halted and My uneasiness disappeared like a leaf on the wind

I wasn't mindful of my surroundings but the fog started to grew thin bit by bit

There is a plane in front of me

An empty sky void of any sun streched infinitly forward but there is light and the source of light is unknown

It looked beautiful. I was unintentionally lost on those scenery

Till, more fog started to clear

I looked at the land in front of me

It looked blue

It was also completely still

I wasn't able to guess what it for few minutes but..

At last when the fog around me cleared enough to look below my thighs I moved my eyes and looked down

I was walking on water

It echoes as I took a step on it. I took another step

It swayed again

'Whoa...this...is...a...once...in...a lifetime....experience'

But my foot didn't feel wet. Everything become more clear as the fog parted around me

Until, I step on a plane that only surrounded by sky and water

There were no fog

I tried to look back but my body won't let me

I walked and walked

The plane look beautiful

The white cloud drifting on the blue sky

The still water

The tickling wind around my body

It was lovely

I walked forward and straight

Then slowly I grew bored

'What...is...my..... destination...?'

I questioned myself

I can't stop so I walked. My body didn't feel any pain. I didn't feel hungry nor did I feel thirst of water

I only walked and looked forward

I didn't know how many step I taken until now nor I have knowns the distance I have walked. It felt like I was walking for an eternity. The scenery didn't change nor did I. Only things that changed is the shape of the cloud and it was my only solace

They took many shapes

Like an animal, an object and the shapes that I didn't recognise

Suddenly I saw a black dot on the horizon

It was far

Too far to recognise anything of it. And the most obvious thing is I'm walking towards it

'At...last..'

I walked. My step didn't become faster nor did it gone slower. The excitement and fear inside me didn't sway my steps. The black dot on the horizon came closer and I got a glimpses of a angular structure. It looked small and it slowly grew big as I took more step towards it

At last I was able to see more clearly. It was a rectangular structure perpendicular to the plain I'm walking and Inside it was completely dark

The sky changed as I took more step towards it. Gone from blue colour it changed into Mix shade of orange, yellow and blue. The towering structure looked beautiful, except the darkness inside it. Waves of water flowing besides it like a gentle breeze. The moving water below the structure reflected the the colourful sky, the clouds and the structure itself making the whole scenery more etherial

As I steps closer to the structure I was able to make things clear

'It... Was...a... Gate'

A gate that enslaved darkness inside it

I glanced at the corneran I become amazed

It was fading

The gate was fading

No, they were fading but the fading particles are hovering around it

'Wow....'

The gate looked ancient. It has many symbols etched around it. Symbols that I didn't recognise. I moved my eyes upward and tries to recognise the symbols and in the last I saw a spiral symbol etched on the centre of the top

My heartbeats grew faster on seeing the symbol. My thoughts become more chaotic. Seeing the spiral symbol my steps grew faster. I looked forward and saw the darkness inside the ancient gate

'Am...I... going.... inside....that....darkness?'

The closer I got to the gate the darkness become more clear. It was completely dark inside but curves were started to appear. At first I didn't understand the scene inside the darkness but when I arrived the gate and took a step inside It become recognisable

It was a...

Vortex

A vortex of darkness

My vision grew dim as I step inside and my eyes started to close. I focused on the centre of the vortex and saw..

A golden light twinkling in the centre of the vortex

'It's like a wisp of hope between the never ending darkness'

My thoughts stared to grew sluggish. When my consciousness stared to shut down completely I heard a voice

"....., Vorag"

And everything become blank

****

Somewhere far

Far away, in the land called Abessyria a couple were welcoming their first born to their family with a smile on their face
