Mansion Of Secrets

Birth and Awakening

The sun, the sky and the stars...
These are all things I wish to see when I'm born, I will see these things when I am finally born, right? I have to believe that it's true and not just make believe.

The stars around me fill the black space as I jump down the slide. At the bottom of the slide, I can sense the rain that falls in reality, a little pitter patter sound like distant rain on stained glass.

I can tell that it's time, I know that it's finally, really and truly time to see reality for the first time.What will I hear? What will I see? What will I feel? It's all just thoughts about the unknown at the moment. I don't know what actually exists in the real world, the world I will be introduced to in a soft welcome. Welcome to reality, a young girl whispers as she runs away, I didn't get to know her name before she disappeared into the unknown.

I hear thousands of sounds as my ears adjust to the delicate voices over my head.There is another person here, actually there is two.Two very soft and gentle voices talk to one another while I just listen, with my eyes closed and my head on the pillow.I don't have to see what's going on just yet, everything is peaceful...

"I assure you that this will be our paradise, Our perfect fantasy with our perfect creation"

The soothing voice I hear seems to belong to a woman, i know this voice,She must be my mother.

"Are you sure such a big house won't scare him?"

Who is the "him" she is talking about? Is it me? I hope it is, I don't know anyone else in our family who it could be.I smile to myself thinking that they are talking about me.

"Nonsense, he has everything he could ever want, toys, a nice soft bed, a big room to explore, books, inflatable chairs, Slides and swings in the garden.He'll love it here don't worry!"

"I sure hope you're right, I trust you"

My mummy picks me up and puts me on the ground, I instantly fall over and land on the hard floor.Feeling around, I grip the green layer in amazement, what is this softness under my hands? This is the first time I had ever felt anything other then a blanket or mummy clothes.

I move my head up in awe as my eyes start to open and my surroundings become clear, the trickle of the gentle stream filling my ears. The orange flowers filling every pot around the fountains and the grey swift-moving clouds covering the moon.

I crawl into my mummy arms as she carries me to my new bed, I feel really sleepy after all that travelling that I end up falling asleep.Dozing off in her arms, my mummy leans down and kisses me gently.

"Goodnight my little star..."
