I knew my time has come. I know what I must do. They will never see me again. I opened my eyes, remembering where I was and stood up. I winced at my sore legs as I began my ascend to the top of the mountain. Through the trees I could see bits of the darkening sky, tiny little sparkling dots in an eternity of darkness.
How they can shine forever and light the way fills me with determination. I can do this, one step at a time, and everything will end out as planned.
Quickly, I climbed over each rock, feeling the grit and sand underneath my nails and hands, appreciating everything around me. Humans like me shouldn't be in this world, we should perish a most horrid death, to rid the world of our existence.
Soon, I reached a small clearing in the sea of trees, the grass looked still with a dangerous serenity. Something appears off; it's too quiet. My expression shifts to confusion, is there something else at work here?
Or perhaps this is my imagination--a figment of the mind? I walk forward, every hair on edge, and continue on. The only sound registered is the soft crunching of my footsteps, but even that was silenced.
I stopped abruptly as I stared into a deep chasm well below my feet. Realization dawned on me, this was the place they were talking about, this was the place where no one returns. This was where I would meet my end.
13 years, I have walked this beautiful world, 13 years, they have wished for my blood. And now, with dry eyes, I walk solemnly without looking back. Sweat beads on my forehead, what if I don't want to do this?
What would happen if I just...went back? No. I couldn't do that. My mouth went dry, my eyelids heavy with an oncoming wave of fatigue. The outline of the indentation was laced beautifully with vines, almost as if they were braided in waiting for me.
The grass around it was matted, a close resemblance to coconut shavings on a cupcake, right after you bite into it and mush the two together.
I glanced at the stars above, each one dancing in the colorless sky, and the trees, how they reach up to that sky with their majestic branches just to grasp the wisps of cotton candy clouds. Clenching my fists, I exhaled.
One step, and the familiar feel of earth was suddenly absent. Faster and faster I descended, the light from above became farther...and farther...away. Until nothing but a speck remained, and the breath was knocked out of me from impact.
