"Remember, the triskelion being craved all around means balance not just any balance but that of the body, mind, and soul. It's a representation of the celestial, physical, and spiritual worlds. All this thing must be balanced, that's why I ask you to willingly do this."
I calmly sighed thinking of the positive income as a result of all this. Cradling my sandals in my arms I took one step after the other my feet making contact with each of the stones, one at a time according to Valiant's instruction before sitting in the middle. It's all silent for a while so I look up to him.
"Maybe it takes some time to work," he says in his defense. I exhale unsure of what to expect. A calm breeze blows swaying the hanging tendrils high up after which it encircles me. Each stone lights up in a white bright light. He had asked my chosen destination which I answered as the Dragon's Peak.
Everything around me begins to dematerialize, slowly thinning out into nothing as dark matter recollects around me bringing me into a dark, still, quiet, and temperate forest with only the full moon and millions of stars to brighten up the night. I retained my exact position seated on the ground, my sandals in my hands, jittery. Valiant said the dragon ought to be friendly needless to say I was still scared. I get on my feet deciding to follow the direction I was facing since I got there.
I walk for a few when I notice glowing lights moving past me, some nestled on the flowers around others suspended in the air. The sound of buzzing from the wings was inevitable as the glowing insects flew around making the lonely woods not so lonely. Their popularity grew the more I got deeper and deeper. I couldn't resist the shiny lights so I made up my mind to take a look at the creature creating such wonderful colored lights after all it would take a few.
My eyes remained fixed on the sight unfolding before me. Right in front of me was a girl, She had unique skin that seemed to emit a light green layer that made her shimmer extending to her big huge translucent butterfly-patterned wings giving the illusion of a glowing humanoid emitting a light green dust. Her long curly and delicately styled blonde hair ran to her knees with white flowers used as accessories to make it look more spectacular with a few strands tucked behind her ears. Her V-neck-shaped dress covered her chest before opening up into a pentagon-like shape at her abdomen revealing her navel before recollecting once again at her waist running down till mid-thigh. On her exposed thigh were green bracelets that resembled a girdle but more enhanced. She wore sandals whose lace resembled green vines or rather tendrils that twirled all around her leg traveling up the calf to her knee. On her arm were green gauntlets. Looking down at her physic I couldn't help but think of stories my mother told me about. The glowing light, the pointy ears the epitome of beauty, I could draw only one name from this, Feys but how? Feys were myths they only existed in the stories told by our parents. This way the voice said. My hand stretched out to have a touch when my name was whispered in the wind. I straightened up towards the path going deeper into the forest.
"Ritalia?" a voice called grabbing my attention back at the girl seated on the branch of the tree. I looked at the middle-aged lady leaning toward the frame a tiny door carved into a tree This was when I chose to pay attention to my surroundings. My feelings grew from shock to surprise ending in slight fear. I gave a close look at the other lights to finally fathom they were other beings only that each gave their light from yellow to purple to pink. There were many tiny lights all around me. Tiny houses carved into trees make the entire sight magical. This was more of a dream, not a reality, a fantasy to say. This was a complex and diverse civilization of people. One whose existence would sound insane falling from one adult's lips to another adult. Valiant had said that I would get into a different realm yet here I was witnessing the unbelievable not the unfathomable. I couldn't stop myself from watching every little one of the little creatures as they went to the business like every other human. They moved around like my presence wouldn't be recognized yet I was a giant amongst them.
