Long ago, a time that is now lost to me, I was a just like you. A naive little child that was ready to see the world know as Earth. I would allays darn of the many places I would see. And the things I would do there. But oh the world did I not except this! To find a portal that leads to defend places of the world. Let me tell you how I found it...
It was late at night and my brother had just went to bed. My sisters had been sleep for some time and my mother was at work. So that left me the only one awake in the entry house. I had a huge fight with my family early in the day, so I was planning to run away.
I snag out the house, with nothing on me but a few days supply of food. I wonder into the unison ready to face any danger that came my way.
It was 2 hours before I was in the woods, lost and cold. I tried to find shelter but to no success. Then, when I thought that I was going to die out here, I saw a light. It was a bright blue light. I was course and went to it, and as I got closer I stared to here sounds.
IT WAS MUSIC!
The most beautiful music I had ever heard. It was like listening to angels singing... But it so happen, when I got to the light that, instead of angels, I show a BIG RED DRAGON! Singing the beautiful song!
I was fisted. I had plan to run for it, but it was to late. The dragon stopped singing and turned its head towards me. If I wasn't so sacred at the moment I could say the dragon was the most beautiful thing I've seen. It's long tail was potent to the tip and It's horns sharper than a knife. It was a blood red color, and looked like death on wings, when it open them and hissed at me.
"Who dares spy on me?! Show yourself! And you might just live!"
At first I didn't know what to do. I knew I was covered my the tree I hide behind but the dragon know that I was there. It was scary and I couldn't help but move into the light.
When I approached the dragon he was standing right in front of the portal. I big warp hole as you young call it in your sci-fi stories. The dragon looked even more deadly and beautiful at the same time. I was shaken in my boots! I didn't know what to do. The dragon was clearly gonna kill me.
"HUMAN!" he hissed in his ghastly voice "Why is it that you spy on me?!"
I looked at him and at first said nothing. I could tell he wanted an answer and I gave it to him.
"I wasn't spying o-on you. I he-her-heard your singing and I followed it hear. I didn't mean to be ru-ru-rude."
That’s it, I thought, I dead. I will never see the light again!
He leaned in closely and sniff my hair, and then my face and then sniffed me until he got to my boots. He then looked at me dead in the eyes. I thought I was gone for. He open his mouth and I closed my eyes , not wanting to see the door way to my new home.
But instead of eating me, he said, "My name is Merlin. What is yours?"
Great, I thought, he wants to know my name before he devours me.
"My name is" I said aloud, "Ariel Lux"
"Well then. Ariel Lux. You have been blessed by a curse!" he laughed a laugh that only a macho man could handle. If that...
"Ummm....What?"
Merlin stopped laughing and looked at me. He had a smile on his face. That was creepy.
"You are now a writer of dragons. You will fly to definite worlds, my little girl. You well see things that are neither new nor old to ye. You will write for years to come. A hermit with knowledge long gone. You will travel for generations to come. And your name shall changed from Ariel Lux, to Dragon Writer."
And with that the vortex sucked me in and I could here Merlins ear pounding laughter though that gates. I had no idea back then what he meant, but with time I soon found out...
Meeting new people
I was lost and afraid in the new would the vortex had brought me. I was surround by wood land, and sat in a small clearing big enough only for to lie on my back.
I was afraid. Alone. And confused. I looked around at my spot... There was nothing but trees and shrubs. And it was dark. I looked up to try and see if I could see the moon, but the trees were taller then 20 Michel Jordans , and I couldn't see nothing but dark green leaves. Only a little light shone out and it was just a small beam that hit my forehead.
I figure by the shade of the light it was still night, so I lied out and closed my eyes. But I didn't fall asleep. I was too cold. And hungry. SO I just lied there. Looking at nothing, and yet everything with my eyes closed. I could still see the shadows of everything. Even tough I didn't try to.
I open my eyes and to my surprise, a golden ray of light was hitting my forehead. I had node how long my eyes were closed...Maybe I did fall asleep but I felt like I was awake...I didn't know. But I did know one thing. I had to get out of there, and fast if I could find a rode.
I wonder for about two hours before I fount me a rode out of the woods. Then I had to decide which way to go.
"Lets see," I said aloud,"If I kind find smoke, I'm sure to find fire, Meaning I find people."
So I looked all around me, but to no avail. There was no smoke anywhere.
"Darts. Okay lets see," I ponder my thoughts trying to figure something out. I sat on the edge of the rode, thinking. How will I get out of this...
"Myyy best friend, was a soldier for the kinggg! Myyy Best friendddd was the only one with wings! He was an angel for my Lord and protected me at willlll! Myyyy Best friend, was a soldier for the king!"
I looked up to see a donkey pulling a cart. An old priest was riding in the cart, singing the song. Which was nice. He had a nice voice. I stood up, and I don't know how, but some how, I stared to sing the song Merlin the dragon had sung. I didn't even know the words!! I just stared to sing it, and the old man stop in fount of me.
"whoa Jackie!!" he said to the donkey,"Good day young maiden! What is that you seek?"
I looked at him, and then I fell out. My body was hurting and after singing that song I couldn't bring myself to speak....I just passed out....
Father John and Jackie the talking donkey!?
When I awoke, I was in a small wooden bed. A thick wool blanket covered me. There was all so a very warm fire and I had a cool towel on my head. I tried to sit up but my body felt like a brick, so I just laid there, looking at a curveting pattern on the ceiling above me.
One bud, two bud, face of a man, face of a child, face of a dragon. The faces kept repeating them shelves and I statred to notice that all the eyes were the same. Red. Lost in thought I reached my hand up, trying to touch the dragon’s face. It seemed so sad and I wanted to comfort it. It’s eyes were...lovely.
“I see you awake,” said a horse like voice, “Father John will be so happy to know this!”
“Huh?” I turned my head to see who was talking, but all I saw was a donkey. Strange that it was in doors. It was the one from before I fainted. I tryed to see if someone was beside it, but no one was there.
“Who said that?” I asked aloud. I sat up, allowing the cool towel to drop into my lap.
“I did!” said the voice again.
I looked at the donkey again, “Do you know who said that?”
The donkey rolled it eyes, “I’m the one who said that!”
I yelled, and jumped back hitting my head on a wall, “You just spoke!”
“Yes I did. Is there a problem with that?”
“Donkeys aren’t suppose to talk!” I shoke my head. This was getting wired... First a dragon named Merlin and now...THIS!! What the fuck was going on!?!
“Well, I beg your pradon?” excalimed the now pissed off donkey, “I have you know it’s compelty normal for a Don-Key to talk! I’m not a donkey you know!”
I looked at this creuture in disbelif, “But you just said you where!”
“No. I said I’m a Don-Key! There is a deiffernt. Listen. Donkey. Don-Key.”
“You just said the same thing!!”
“No I didn’t!” the donkey looked at me, “I swear, your not from Draon, are you?”
I fell back on the bed, “This is confuseing...Where the hell am I?”
“I just told you,” said the snippy “Don-Key”, “Your in Draon. In the little village called Hutsions
, in the monk know as Father John’s, house.”
“You mean, I’m not in Chicago?” I asked baffeled.
“Where in the world is Chicogo?” she asked.
“It’s called Chi-ca-go. And it’s loctaed in the United Sates of America”
“Hm...I never heard of such a place. I will go feacth Father John. Maybe he can help.”
With that, the “Don-key” was gone. I sat there, dumbfounded. Did I really get into a fight with a talking donkey? Or as this one put it, “Don-Key”?
I was so confused. What the hell was Draon, and why was I here? I looked around the room I was in. It was a cozy little place, with all narutal colors. I all so notice that a fence with a little door was in the room. I spied behind the fence to see that there was a stable conneted to the room.
I wanted to get out of this bed. I wanted to get out of this place. I wanted to go anywhere but here. But as soon as my feet touched the floor, the man from before and that “Don-Key” entered.
“Ah, so you were right Jackie. She has awoken.” said the man in a soft tone. Hm..he sounded like my grandfather...soft and gentle, but all so stern.
“Of coruse. She says she’s form some place called Chilogo, in the Untied Sates of Ambrica,” replied that annoying beast.
“It’s called Chi-ca-go, and the Untied Sates of Am-eri-ca!” I yelled.
The man rubbed his fat chin, “Well, I have no idea where that could be. But oh how rude of me. I haven’t propbly introduce my self”
The man bowed so I could see his blad head, “I am Father John the 5th. And this lovely Don-Key is Jackie. She told me you don’t know what that is?”
I just looked at him, “No I don’t..”
Father John stood form his bow, “I see,” he then grinned and grabed my face, “What lovely eyes you have. So big and brown. What is your name dear child?”
Shakeing my face from his hands I said, “It’s Ariel Lux.”
Jackie snorted, “Hump! What type of name is that? What dose it mean?”
“Ariel means ‘lion’ in Hebrew. Lux is Latin for ‘light’,” I said in a dull way. People all ways asked me that,
Father John seemed to glow, “So that means your name, in meaning, means Lion Light!”
I got the idea he was making a joke and just nod yes.
But he’s face seem to glow even more, and he did a gay dance in his brown monk robes. He staterd chanting some song and hugged Jackie.
“It’s true then! The phopht spoke truely!” he kissed my forehead, and hugged Jackie. I think we were both confused in what he was saying. I just wanted to get out of there, badly.
Standing up, I noticed that my long black hair had turned blue at the tips. It looked like a flame was eating at it. Kinda cool, but I wonder how it did that.
Jackie the talking Don-Key rolled her eyes, “What ever. Come. Let’s let her get dress and eat.”
She grabbed the father by the rear and pulled him out, while he was stilling sing and danceing like a little school child.
I looked after them. They were an odd sort. But I decided to keep to myself. I qucikly got dressed in some odd colthes and left the room. My body was still soar. When I enter all I saw was a vortex and Merlin looking at me with a curl look in his eyes.
“So it begins...” he said smoothly. He vanished and I was in the cozy cottage, suddenly cold.
I held my body and looked around...Hm, everything looks the same....I wonder around, and sat down at the table and heard knocking in the back. I saw something coming, it was dark and scary...
