Crystal Love

Chapter 3

The unusually clear blue sky shaped like a dome was bright.

It complimented the flowers dancing to the wind. Their petals scattering through the wind like a flower work.

Chirping of playful birds could be heard in the distance.

A swift figure running through the meadow, leaving a blur while passing through. Low giggles of excited could be heard as a beaming smile appeared on the face of the figure.

Animals of different kinds followed behind, whether prey or predator.
A white wolf jumped unto the figure as the both roll up on the grass, the figure, which appears to be a girl with long wavy blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes breaks out into a laughing fit.

Her pink dress smeared with soil flutters a little as a gentle breeze passes over her.

She looks up at the sky, it has always been the same blue shade except rare occasions of rain. She thought in her heart, the season seems to change and so does the weather but it all isn't real, they told her so.

She had been here since she was born. No other human in sight. She grew up in this space with mysterious beings but she calls them The Ancestors. They are the only existence that have always been with her. They taught her a lot of things and also told her that she had parents, the ones who brought her in to existence and that there are many like her.

She has always wondered how other humans look like. The woman called her mother came to visit her on her birthday every year, since she was 12, she never saw her again. She knew that she looked nothing like her mother, her mother has brown eyes while hers is blue and her features don't really resemble.

She sometimes wished she could meet other living beings. The animals she meets everyday are illusions of this space and don't give her much comfort, she just sometimes feel lonely.

A ball of light appears hovering beside her.

"Elenore"

She is woken from her thoughts. She stands up dusting her dress then goes down on one knee, bowing her head.

"I acknowledge the Ancestors"

She stood straight as soon as she finished greeting, then she asked

"Ancestors, why are you here? You only come mornings and nights but it's still noon."

The hovering light pulsed and different voices spoke as one

"Elenore, it's soon going to be your birthday, 20 years since you have been with us."

" Yes, Ancestors."

Elenore subconsciously started rubbing the marking on her wrist. She couldn't under what the Ancestors were trying to do by telling her this.

The light pulsed again.

"On your 20th birthday, you can finally go be with your kind, our time together has run out."

Elenore was stunned. She never expected to ever be let out of the space even when her mother stopped coming to see her.

She excitedly bowed to the light.

"Thank you Ancestors."

A trail of light danced around her. A tiny kite shaped crystal appeared on her forehead, A crystal tear mole appeared under her left eye and crystals appeared on her outer ears.

"We grant you our power to protect yourself from the world out there, it will also help you find your family. Take care when you leave."

The ball of light disappeared with the trail of light as Elenore said

"Yes Ancestors."

...

A few days later.....

Elenore bid her animal friends goodbye as she strolled around the meadow.
She also plucked some fruits to give to her new family when she finds them.

When she was done, a ball of light appeared in front of her, she stretched out her hand towards it.

"I'm ready"

As a trail of light came out from the ball and wrapped around her, Elenore looked around, taking in the sight one last time. Blinding light covered her vision as she closed her eyes.

When she opened it, she found herself amongst trees and her little bag of fruits beside her feet. The crystals' on her head, beneath her eye and on her ears had disappeared. The faded marking on her wrist turned red.

She picked up her bag then walked in the direction that appeared in her head. She walked a little distance before she came out from the trees. Noise of different kinds assaulted her ears as her eyes widened to behold a magnificent sight.

Authors Note:
Another chapter done🎉

Elenore has finally left the crystals.
For those that were a little confused, the meadow she was in is a plane or you can call it a space in the crystals, it's like a world within them.

Spaces are commonly mentioned in Chinese zombie or cultivation stories, you can find them on wattpad.
If you need recommendation, I'll post some if you message me ;)

Now Matilda's choice is quite obvious, but we will see how the story develops in the next chapter. 😘
