I felt that they were aware of my presence but they didn't reject me.
I stepped back to reality when I realized the time, it was already the twilight, my wet body begun to annoy me, the cold penetrated me and I wanted to go back to the hotel. And again, I felt something strange ,an intense foreboding running over my body, but this time, it was not pleasant anymore. People were approaching, I heard these steps, I turned in all directions to make sure about my feeling, and they appeared before me, I felt my heart stopping at their view. They were by dozens, people of sluts but... no human. They were horrible and disgusting, shaking me deep down.
I knew it at first sight, they did not want good for me, so as I expected, they jumped on me, and I'd be grasped and destroyed if these strange flying birds didn't come to my rescue.
I was paralyzed, kneeling on the floor.
- Run.
I clearly heard it again, the mournful, fantastic voice, that warned be before.
- Go and run.
- Oh yes! And that's what I did, I ran again and again, seeing nothing, surrounded only by wings and Rain of feathers. However, the ground liquefied and became a runny thing similar to a muddy sea. I suck onto and then, after I wholly immersed, it lead me through indefinitely.
- Didn't I tell you to be careful?
- Sorry. I answered even half- Conscious, because I wanted to do so, because I wanted to talk with him.
- You knew that I was not human, still you chose to follow me. Your race is so curious and unquenchable.
- Yeah, I know but, say me, are we that wrong for being so?
- Your wrong if you require to others to save you from the consequences of your own mistake, like you have
just done today.
- Yeah, then again, I am requiring this help that you hate so much to offer us...because I am smothering. I want to breath.
- You are all so selfish. I hate your kind the most.
- Perhaps, it would had have been better if it was true.
I perfectly heart his laugh, then he put his lips on me before opening them and taking possession of my mouth.
Somehow it was more suffocating than the muddy sea where I was driven throughout. Before I even
realized it I responded to him so passionately, so desperately more than I ever did. I lost all
control and it didn't matter.
It was him who stopped us. We did this all in blindness as my eyes were kept close from the moment I plunged into the strange liquid.
- It's enough for now. Now sleep.
I sensed his laugh and listened to the screams of the birds that wrapped me and echoed to infinity, then I sunk in sleep.
When I woke up, I was lying on a canopy bed, in a kiosk beautifully made, and carved in gold. I wanted to move but the pain was still intense, happily, the softness of silk soothed it and was greatly releasing my tiredness.
I looked around me, the kiosk where I rested in was situated in height and outside, on the top of
monumental walls that boarded a vast domain, a domain that took up itself the half- Part of my view. So, from my placing, I glimpsed easily the greatness of the place where I was.
The world that was spread out around me was magic.
First, beyond the walls, I saw a big city colored of light and animation, a dense forest where I saw
countless beings living in, walking, playing, flying everywhere, waving their way.
A long river crossing the brilliant city and the jungle losing up towards the horizon. While I looked to my right, a huge garden separated me away from the gigantic palace that was build in a strange wave. I felt that the structure contained something sad and powerless in.
If I was deciding to go there, I had to cross the lugubrious garden, covered by a timeless mist.
I believed that this place that welcomed me and took care of my wound, was captivating, similar to
my savior bird that launched me cutting words, yet saved me, existing into an unerring darkness similar to his feathers.
- Awake?
A slight and bewildering voice.
- Yes. But who is there?
He appeared, ripping with his delicate and beautiful hands the veil of the night.
I never knew how finding enough words to describe this being of infinite splendor. His blonde lunar hair gleamed in the light of stars, and his snow skin attracted the caress, but for my thought, it was a bit too white. This display of whiteness uniting with
the darkness of his sovereign coat embellished with gilded black thread, was someway too perfect that it saddened me. He advanced towards Me.
- You're here in my kingdom.
- A very dark kingdom if you allow me to note about.
- Yes, quite. And you'll stay here forever.
- Why? I frowned, I was shocked by his words but I didn't feel fear for.
- This is the price for you to pay after I saved your life.
- We must constantly pay the price for everything done for us?
- Yes. This is the law of life to anyone, you should know this more than anyone, as mortal
- Then if I've perfectly followed your reasoning, you mean that you are immortal?
- Exactly.
- Woaw! By the way, I firmly changed the topic, what was seeking in me these disgusting people you saved me from?
- It was not you they wanted but me. However you were on the way, so they just wanted eliminating you. I had practically no chance but saving your poor soul.
I laughed.
- You sound like an old man. I looked at him. The Birds, they were you right?
- That's what I just said. But this fact is also wrong.
- What? I don't get your words.
- They are not truly me but a part of me. They help me to see, during times of storms and night, the
outside world.
- The world of human.
- Yes.
- You can not go yourself?
- It's none of your business. And anyway, I'll keep you here.
- I can not stay, nor do I want to. There are people on the outside who are waiting for me. My family, my friends.
- You're my prisoner, whether you desire or not, so how you'd kept languishing for this outside world that contains all you love, you will never see it again.
- What can I do then to pay my debt and get out of here?
- I was expecting this question.
- So there's a mean.
- There a mean. I am an immortal not a monster. Anyway that race is capable of a lot worse, and this is an euphemism
- Yes, I know as you can notice, I am human myself. So Which one? What it this mean?
- It's a game about finding out something, and not just any.
