 It took me a while to fall asleep and I have a feeling this wont be my first and last time. I closed my eyes for a few moments then opened them again and miraculously, I was in a different place. I looked around and for sure I knew I was in a forest standing on a strange path. "Where am I?" I asked but unfortunatley, I was alone. That's what I thought until I heard footsteps and before I could hide, it was already too late. I stood there as a man, no it wasn't a man, it was a satyr. From the waist up, he had a normal  human body with curly black hair  and a tummy and from the waist down, he had hair-furry legs with hooves instead of feet. I was so shocked that I screamed very loudly but the satyr didnt seem to notice. I thought he was deaf or something and when he started to walk toward me, he just went through me as if I was some kind of ghost. No wonder he didn't hear me! " How can this happen?" I told myself and my eyes widened  " maybe if I follow him, I might know the reason!" So eventually, I followed him out of the forest on the same path I stood on.

      After 20 minutes of walking, I was so tired that I was about to fall until the satyr suddenly stopped. I was about to bump into him but instead, I just slipped through him. I guess I wasn't used to the 'slipping through' thing. Anyway, once I got balanced again, I stared in awe as I faced a giant white greek temple with large columns. The satyr bowed as a handsome young man with golden hair appeared. He wore a white robe with sandals and looked down at the satyr. "I have passed The Greek Path to get here, Lord Apollo. And Ive made sure no one followed me." said the satyr.

"Good. So what do you think of my new poem? Ive thought about it while you were gone. It goes like this: a young man is left behind, all alone in a big temple..."

"My Lord."

'Right, sorry" Then he turned to me and smiled. I looked at him and blushed hardly  but the gentleman didn't mind. Then he tensed and his expresion changed as if I was in some sort of danger. "You should go now. It seems you will be facing some 'problems' from now on. Im sorry to involve you into all of this." Before I could ask him anything, everything faded and I woke up back in my room. There was a strange smell as if something was on fire. I stood up and walked toward the door. With a chill down my back, I held the door knob tightly and the door opened. I found something unbelievable. The house was on fire, black fire.
