A forest, she could never leave, a dream, from which she could never heal. Astrid, currently a student studying mythology and history. Her parents died 4 years ago, she was the only child so she got all the wealth her parents had left which was a lo...
Astrid's pov I wasn't able to sleep, still overthinking late till night and gazing at the stars "It feels so good now" I say letting out a sigh in relief as my day finally is over and I can sleep
I saw a strange thing up in the sky. No Astrid, you need to sleep, Cmon....but wait, what if it's a mythological creature? Will that give me some extra credit? No Astrid, you have your classes too. But....I'll just see what it is and come right back, let's good I grab my jacket as it is quiet cold outside and run outside
"I really think I should wash this jacket once in a while now, it stinks a bit" I say, still looking up in the sky "oh, it's still there, waiting for me? ;)" I say and then run off as the thing started flying away
"Hey wait! I'm not done yet!" I shout, while chasing the unkown figure. I run and run and reach to a forest trail. I first think that should I go in or not "not like I have anything left to lose" saying I jump right in and run across the forest, nor paying attention to what is around me. Just starring up at the sky following the....thing.
My energy is draining out and I can't run more now. I still continue. Some sharp bushes come across my way and I get both my hand in front of me as a way to push those bushes away from my face. I do not want my beautiful face to be ruined now would I.
Finally, I reach an open area in the forest. I bend down, resting the palm of my hands on my knees and catching up on my breathing. "That was a wild run I had in a while" I say any look up. Only to realize.
"I'm lost"
Yes, I'm lost. In a dense, dark forest I've never knew existed

(The forest) Idk know though. Like it looks good so I guess it wasn't a bad idea afterall to chase that creature? But where am I? Dude, I have my classes tomorrow, I can't miss it!
"But looks like no human has ever got here, it does look pretty peacefull" I say, taking a deep breathe "Don't worry, I won't tell any human about thus place and ruin its magic" as I say, I look up in the sky.
A gasp escaping my mouth as I saw what lies in front of me. Sky full of stars, I know it may seem ordinary to some people but it's not everytime you get to see so many of them. It's so nice, so wholesome, so magnificent.
The milky way was clear in veiw. The busy city in which I live is never this peaceful. The light pollution just blocks all these magnificent stars from me.
I reach out my hand up in the sky as I see that creature again. I feel my body getting lifted up by an unkown force. I don't react shocked or surprised though. I'm too into the moment to react anything.
My body feels a sudden rush of an undefined emotion I have never felt before. Like I was a part of this place. I see that creature and it somewhat looked like a dragon but still a little weird.
As I start to quetion myself, my body stops feeling that unkown force and suddenly I start falling. I didn't realized how high I have floated till now. I was just falling down and down. And on the way, I felt a sudden pain, not in my body, it was like I felt the pain in my soul
I felt a pain in my back indicating that I did hit the ground. I shot my eyes open and got up and saw that I was on my bed all along
I sit up properly and scratch my head a little thinking that all the things felt too real to be a dream but also felt too magical to be real. I guess all that study really got into my head.
I got up and walked in my bathroom to freshen up for my classes. I took the toothbrush and as I was about to put it in my mouth I saw something on my neck.
I looked closer in the mirror, running my hands through the crazy symbols on my neck. I thought that maybe I got drunk last night? And drew this on myself, that's why I had such a crazy dream.
I go to bathroom and turn on the shower, scrubbing the mark on my neck. When I got out and looked in the mirror, I saw that the mark was still hoe it was. I got frustrated and left in a hurry. Taking my scarf and rapping it around my neck. I was about to where my bag when I saw my jacket neatly folded on the side of my bed.
But I never fold my jacket. I was about to check it when my alarm went off, indicating that now I have to go now.
Hello readers, it was so good to know that you stayed till here. I know this chapter is short but I'll try to make the other ones longer. Enjoy your day <3
