There was a gate, hidden in the core of the earth, ever so beautifully mysterious, glowing with the light of grace. If a man were to find this, such sight would trigger his amusement along with his curiosity. No man has ever found this magnificent secret, until one day. A miner who was currently in his early twenties, unintentionally mined his way to the location. He was struck with beauty when he stumbled upon the gate. His mouth gaped open, speechless, staring at the gate with awe. After admiring the gate, questions crept up this clueless man's mind: Why am I here? How was this place built with no single flaw? Is this reality or is this just a dream? and many more questions that were left to be answered in the future.

  Seconds passed, then turned to minutes. The man just stared at the gate, motionless. A loud roar that echoed throughout the cave brought him back to his senses. Heavy footsteps that came inside the gate brought him back to his two feet. He scrambled behind a boulder. Why is this happening to me? The questions came back. The gates may hold a pride of lions or even worse... dra--- his trail of thoughts were cut short by the dragon in front of him. He gulped and  ran inside the gate that once was sealed beautifully... now wrecked and horrifying. He dashed through thousands of lovely, pale colored leaves. His feet marked the glowing grass a shade of muddy brown. The trees were peculiar, some curved, some straight, some even have poisonous thorns. The only words to describe this place was absolute perfection.

Everlast, the paradise inside the gate.
