The trees are full of fruits as beautiful as jewels, the grass as green and as fresh as the morning showers. The smell of the air smelled like roses. And- oh! The palace! What a wonderful palace! I have never seen such a beautiful thing! Seven towers are reaching up to the sky, shining like a million diamonds, walls covered in rosebushes. The garden is simply magical...
I couldn't keep my eyes off of it, it was just wonderful! The man sat down at a little bench, it was silver. Then, he said, "Sit." So I do what he says, but without intending it. The bench isn't cold, on the contrary, it's warm. I always thought of metal, including silver, as a cold and hard texture...
He never forms sentences, he just says; sit or come... maybe he just doesn't enjoy talking that much...
He starts talking to me, but I don't listen, I'm am too focused on that magical castle. All I hear is him saying,"Me, the Hunter, will bring you to the palace and make an appointment with Marisa."
Who is Marisa?
How could his name be 'The Hunter' ? How?
Why would he take me to the palace?
I really don't know what is happening to me... What will happen to my friends, my family? Will they notice that I am gone?
He stands back up and starts walking down the golden-colored path leading to the castle. So I follow him. After about ten minutes of walking,, we finally reach to palace doors. The doors are carved with mythical creatures, fairies, elves, and so on. The doors, themselves, were white as pearls. Except for the slight flower border, which was, a sweet light blue.
Suddenly, the doors open, but without a single sound. I expected a large thud. As the doors open I peek in curiously, but the Hunter holds me back, with his hands this time, they are as cold as ice and as warm as hot lava at the same time. I don't know wether they are more on the warm or cold side. I don't know how to explain this. It makes me shiver.
When the doors are fully opened, we go in. There is a long, green carpet, a light green, from the entrance all the way to a star shape floating around. I wonder what it is...
We start heading towards the star, at about ten feet before it, he stops, and holds me back. I think it's a sign to stay here, and that he will probably keep going. So I stay. I am more calm than I think I should be, I'm really relaxed. My heart isn't racing at all. I see that he is still walking towards that star, when he actually gets to it, he stops and murmurs something, again.
