I've done a bit | An SVA stori

Chapter 27.?: Checker Mate

Rowan was with his friends in SunGlass City, he counted six.
"Are we gonna build Racer." Ire asked.
"Obviously."
"Can you write a rain song?" He asked Ire again.
"Sure."

The seal called from the bottom of the mountain so Rowan went and saw. It shedded its skin and became a girl.
She stood up and got Rowan to follow her into the mountain where her world was.

A mighty beast with ten thousand horns attacked her valleys so Rowan fought it and brought its head to the king.
"Thank you." Said the seal girl.
"It's cool I do stuff like this all the time." He boasted.
"Cool, I'm Summer."
She had her long black hair like Rowan remembered.
She took him dancing and they swayed a little. The other people watched, but they were always watching.
Rowan found he could dance when he didn't try so hard. But he didn't want to dance, and not with Summer.
"Rowan?" Said Piper.
It was her he was with now, standing where Summer was.
"Do you wanna get out of here?" He asked.

They went back. The orchestra in year six, only it was empty and dark.
"Come on." Someone said.
The orchestra was waiting for him to start them off. He was the conductor. In the crowd was Summer, so Rowan spun back around to the band and conducted them to play his song.

He saw himself in the crowd and couldn't decide which perspective to see from.
Where we could know the most was the crowd as Piper went over to him.
"I'm gonna play here for a bit." She said so Rowan went on his own out the back.

He was in his old house. Back when Field lived with them. The only light was downstairs so he sat at the table with Field.
"Hey." Said Rowan.
"There's a beanman and his dog at the end of the world." Field told him, "If you want to see it take the door after me, I'm going to play."
"Oh." He sighed.
Field stepped through the door.
"Wait don't go!"
Field closed the door behind him a moment before Rowan flung it open again, but Field had already gone.

He stepped through to vibrant blue skies and bright green fields.
"Go left." One flower said.
"Go right." Another said.
The flowers jab at his feet.
"Turn around." "Lie down." The flowers told him.
Over the hill and far away was bright and the flowers told him to go everywhere but there.
"Hey, go through that door." One flower said and a door was behind the boy.
They all began saying it and many doors appeared behind him. Leading to everywhere he knew: SunGlass City, the orchestra, his old house, the school, the park. But over the hill was a place he didn't know, and it wouldn't be ruined by going there.
"Stay!" The flowers kept shouting.
Rowan ripped his ears off, stepped over the flowers and walked the hill.

It brought him to a station. A small petrol station in the middle of sand to the horizons. The hill behind him was gone, replaced with sand as far as the eye could see.
Inside the clerk smiled at him.
"I don't have a car." Rowan said.
Large numbers showed off discounts. They grew bigger and brighter the more Rowan tried to read the womans lips.
She spoke with sign language next, but Rowan was never taught to read it.
Advertisements overwhelmed him until he was lost deep in the store. They surrounded him and his eyes were lost in the colours and numbers he didn't want.
So Rowan took out his eyes and left the store. Whichever way he went he knew he'd reach the horizon, so he left and began to walk.
Forward, through sand and sun.

"Hello?" He would call out, but he kept walking alone.
"Where are you horizon?" He would ask to no response.
When he felt forever had passed he just sat in silence, so the horizon came to him. It picked him off the ground.
He assumed he was floating, in a place with whoever was with him.
"I'm Rowan Aboat." He claimed.
The something came to him.
"Are you the Beanman?" He asked.
It let him know without his senses and it asked him who he was.
"...I don't know." Rowan said.
It asked why he talked.
"I don't know." Rowan said.
So it asked for his mouth.
"Ok." Rowan said.
He gave his mouth.
When he had nothing left is when he knew he was dreaming.

He woke up in bed. He could hear the ringing from his ears and see the flare from his eyes.
"Piper?" He said.
Piper was in the other bed, fast asleep.
