I open my eyes and immediately shut them back. The blazing sun blinds me. Gradually I become accustomed and open my eyes again. A world of gold greets me. Leaves fluttering on the wind glint deep yellow and the grass ,honey-colored, sways to the gusts. I pick a leaf off of the tree behind me. The leaf is shaped with three curves on the side and a point at the .end. The veins look to be a bleached color. The leaf curls in on itself to make a hunch and it has a brown stem. I twirl the leaf around appreciating the simple movement. It falls out of my hand and floats down to the grass below me. I now study the blade of grass in front if me. It looks to be a deeper gold, deeper than the leaf, and reflects the sunlight so as to make it look glowing. As I look over it a gist of wind blows it out of my grasp. I become painfully conscious of my thirst and hunger. I know it is time to get moving. I have no possessions so my going is easy. The landscape never changes over the next hour. Or had it been 3 hours? I shake my head and continue my trek. Slowly I begin to notice foreign movement that is not from the wind. Little shufflings at first, gradually becoming louder and louder until it stops. Then i knew I was in trouble. My instincts are never wrong and i knew there was going to be a show-off. I pick along carefully, on the alert for the first sign of danger. "Halt! Thy Master wishes to speak with you," says a speaker whom is in the shadows of the trees above me. Master? it sounds like i'm in the boundaries of an unknown territory. But what would I know of it? I only woke up a few hours ago with no memory of a life past. "Oh well he's fifteen," the gruff voice speaks again to a figure next to him obviously not adressed to me,"no wonder." Am I fifteen? I look down. I know i am a boy for sure. "We can use force if we have to." Immediately ten archers appear on the trees next to me all with their bows loaded and pointed at me. Am i a threat? I finally ask the question i've been trying to answer. "Where am I? Who am I? Who are you? What am I doing here?" I say gesturing around me.
