Wings Of Chaos

I stare into my own reflection, deceive me

Nature was always a wonder and very beautiful, but this kind of beauty was one of a kind. The mountain was bathed in green all over, not even one spot was vast. The trees bloomed like a flower would, the flowers danced in sync with the wind that blew them. It felt as if they were moving, alive everyday. But what kind of flowers do bloom there? Look around you, my friend, all those colorful flowers might still not eve have their own names. All those plants are healthy and might cure anything. The safe haven we all can't even experience. How old this mountain is? I do not know... Perhaps that is why its name was the Old or Great mountain. This mountain that was covered in so much life has a big secret. One thing a human eye or body can't even see or enter is the inside of the mountain. You will never see the opening to the inside of the mountain as it lays on the heart of the mountain.

As you enter the entrance you will be looking at your own reflection. And once you turn around you realise there is no escape. That is how foolish travelers came to be never found again, curiosity killed a cat.

If you look past the reflection you will realise it was only a trick to protect the glory of the sacred place. Bathed in the shards of diamonds and creating light is the castle itself that stood as high as the mountain. Its beauty unmatched, not even close to any beautiful castle ever seen. Look at the underground place of horrors, a beauty that hides a deadly secret. Sleeping for centuries never to be disturbed. This place you will never see unless you yearn for death. This place is one with the high priest. Would you like to come into the high mosaic door? Of course you want to enter to see it. Never touch the glass in this place, no matter how tempting it is, an illusion will be cast upon you.

The walls of the hall were covered with glass as it was lighting the passage through the long hall. The lighting always changed from blue to purple as the sun went away. The walls were decorated in mirrors as they stand untouched, shining bright. They were reflecting figures on who entered, trying to capture you in their illusion. Watch your step as you get into the big podium with mirrors decorating the whole wall, do not look or step on the mirrored floor parts, just walk on the shining ones...

Are you feeling nervous as we enter the hall to the great sanctuary? The hall was dimly lit and the floor could only hold two people as the podium got narrow and around you is the clear water. Just walk up those steps in the hall and let the dimly lit torches lead you as you approach them they light up, and as you get distant they die. It is the only place where it is pure dark and you can only follow that dimly light which can barely light the place. And the water shines to let you fall into it. Just go up the stairs and continue going straight. It will almost be over.

We are entering the dimly lit headquarters with ordinary walls. You will see it is a maze, but you must follow that specific light to get to the sacred place. That dim blue light will lead you to the biggest doors, that stand up to five meters tall. The glass was carved into so you can't see it, the seal of the damned is in place and you must avoid it. You must not touch or look at it.

Slowly touch the diamond handles and push the doors open.

Look at the great mirror, you see the mirror reflects the most beautiful blue color. Come closer to it and look around the sanctuary. Do you see all those dark sides of the room? Only the center is lit with the torches that will lead you to the mirror. Just come up and see the beauty.

Just walk on the lit path and don't wander off left or right for misery is waiting for you. Just walk slowly and marvel this beauty. As you come closer, do you see the stairs? Go up them, take two steps forward, and stop. It's just three steps on the stairs and just one step forward and stop.

Stop!

You can't come near this big mirror. It is said that the mirror frame is made of pure lamon, the material that reminded you of the diamond but it was pure white. The frame was curved with a double arch at the top that resembled a flower or was it a bird or a dragon.

In that mirror you will never see a reflection but only light. As if inside this mirror was nothing but light. Look up and you will see its prisoner.

The high priest stood there clad in a cloak that you can only see its dark reflection of a figure. He can hear you.

I can hear you.

Where magic is stored and where elves and fairies were once born now no life could be. Magic inside me you can't get, but you may seek for I will give to you whatever I can. Look no further for I can't tell you anything, but you may serve me. I can give you anything you want. Will you still be my faithful servant even after I tell you the truth? Lucien, can I trust you with this truth of mine? Can I trust you with the task you will be given? Will you be by my lords side? You are the only child to be given the special power... The only elf that has the gift, the sacred gift I waited so long to appear. You will go to Zlatibor and retrieve it, will you?

The vessel has been chosen.

Can you hear the sweet voice of darkness calling out to me? Just hear its soft voice as it slowly cracks the mirror of the damned. Deceive me as I stare into the mirror. What is reality and what is dream? Reality can't exist without dream and dream can't exist without reality, that is how life is telling us. What if you have the power to rewrite everything wouldn't you be selfish enough to rewrite it and make it to your liking? We all would, but my father never did that, he just left it to rot. This power he took out is the key to my freedom and to his return. The book can't reach him still even though it's pulsing in this castle.
