Max and the adventure

Chapter 3 color

All i see is flashing, flashing lights constantly changing color that i notice through my eyelids. Even with closed eyes i get overwhelmed. I start panicking and slowly breathing gets harder and harder. I get unconscious.

I start to get conscious again, immediately after i open my eyes i close them again. This world is so bright ,colorful and constantly changes color that my eyes hurt and i get a little nausea. I open my eyes trying to focus not to throw up, but it doesn't work so i just lay on the ground which feels like sand. The "Sun" is so bright that i just sweat laying on the hot ground .  I start opening my eyes again, tears coming down , because it's so hard to look. After a few minutes i slowly get used to the colors but i still squint. I notice that Frank and Ray are next to me also just laying there. „Guys are you awake ?" I ask tired. „Now we are" they both say looking even more tired. Them and the ground is right now the only thing constant, the rest is just changing that it is hard to describe anything. But then suddenly the changing stops and things get clearer. The sand that  i'm laying on is blue the day sky would be, the sky is the most eye hurting red i ever seen and the "sun"is a toxic green. I get up look for the crack that should be here somewhere, but it is nowhere to be found . I help my friends get up and we look around. All of the sudden a creature comes towards us . It has a dark green fish like body, two red eyes in the front and 100 white ones in the back, it has horns under his constantly changing arms, its legs are to thin to be seen most of the time but still there ,stronger than regular human legs and no mouth , it speaks through its eyes.:„You seem new here ." It says , i get a shiver from its rotting voice. „Who are You" I ask  confident. Before it can answer Ray attacks it in what he calls " self defense ". That doesn't matter because the creature takes Ray and flies of.it seems to leave what i think is a map behind. After checking it i can confirm that it is a map of this place. My first thought is, that it could bring us to it. The Map is really big , we are at end of it and our goal which i think is the dark castle is on the other end. Frank looks over my shoulder on tiptoes to see the map and decode a good path to go.„first we go to the enchanted forest, then to the grassy hills then to the siren shores and then just cross some grass." Frank says planning ahead . Frank looks at this "Sun", he just stares at it. The sky probably hurts more to look than the "Sun", it is darker than the sky somehow which makes the blue sand a little dark. „if you would describe this place in 5 words what would you say?" Frank asks curious. „like a weird messy dream." I answer with  honesty in my heart.„a fever dream on crack" Answers Frank to his own question. His Face looking the most grey it ever has. I look at my Iheart to see if it knows where we are , it says that we still are in Ray's house despite the fact that we aren't.

Meanwhile Ray is held captive in the dark castle without any idea why . The castle is despite its name very colorful like everything else. „why do held me captive"Ray asks oblivious of the fact he kicked it . „don't you remember you attacked me " its deep grouchy voice replies in an angry matter that can't be distinguished from his normal voice , its eyes blink unevenly which gives Ray shivers. „my name is Ray ,what is your name " Ray asks to try to cheer it up. It responses with its cold breath:„My name is-"

„thats weird ." I say after looking at the phone telling me we are still in Ray's house. „maybe the location tracker just tracks were we are based on the closest portal, since Ray isn't on tracker next to us. In fact he is far away , which means that it still tracks but it doesn't have any location of this place."Frank theorizes. We turn around  to see a crack in air just floating showing Ray's room, it turns into a door . There seem to be something written on it but some letters are gone. On the door It says:„as to worlds combine so do connections. A tio not just goig to rio" . What does that even mean , i ask myself doubting if it has any importance at all to the journey , but i guess we have to figure that out. I look at the Wooden birch frame which is very majestic in its swirls, it doesn't have much color, which makes it stand out. I look in the distance and see a pink hill in the horizon, knowing what our first stop is going to be. I look at Frank' clothes, he wears a sweatshirt that is slightly torn since we came, some blue sneakers, some green shorts and a headband  full of motivation which has deflected any damage in the last 10 years of wearing it without a break. Ever since i met him he wore his Headband like his own hair. „How does it feel ?" He asks without me knowing what he means,„oh sorry I wasn't talking to you Max." He says quick to me. I ignore what he just said and look at the map where we need to go, which as previously mentioned was a grassy field with hills. I look where Frank is , he is by an color changing rock. I start to get hungry ,„Frank do we do a snack break, i am starving" i say as my stomach growls. He takes out some bread and we start eating knowing after we are gonna have a big adventure.
