A journey of discovery, a peek at the world through the eyes of a young man that has never experienced any of it. Follow him as he goes through the calm, dangerous and disastrous nature of the world.
As the sun rose just into view he begins to look over the horizon, searching for a change wanting desperately to see more of this world. Standing slowly looking around he takes a breath and then starts walking in a direction enjoying the sun on his back, wondering what to do now since he had no real plan made up before.
The world is so much bigger than he expected, but then he didn't really know what to expect. Thinking back to when he was younger and all the places he wanted to go, never realizing just how long it was going to take to get there.
Pausing that train of thought taking a look around to realize he sees something faint in the distance. Also seeing dark clouds over the shadows, he hears a noise he could only be described as a deep rumbling. Catching a breeze that brings and unfamiliar smell along with it. Turing towards what he sees in the horizon walking towards that place, as well as the dark clouds feeling a bit sad that he might not see the stars. As he walks towards the looming shadows and notices the change in the ground, it gets less solid and his toes sink into the dirt more. The dirt squishes up between his toes feeling a cold wetness seeping though his skin, a shiver went up his spine finding it not particularly enjoyable but not awful. The shadows in the distance began to take a more complete shape as he grew closer to the current destination. Getting closer he realized what they were, they were trees and not short ones to say the least.
Smiling and trying to take another step further he realised his feet were a bit stuck in the mud. Giving a firm tug in an attempt to get his foot free, it seemed like the world didn't want to let him go because it also felt lonely. His foot only a temporary existence leaving a foot print to gradually fill its self in.
Continuing to walk feeling a slight tug at each foot, and each step taking into a new place for him to explore and further from where he started just a short time ago. Quite unexpected his foot sinks deeper into the mud causing him to fall to his knees, gritting his teeth putting more effort into escaping his predicament. Finally managing to pull his foot free, sitting at the base of a tree panting from the effort not realising how hard it was going to be. Sighing heavily Standing again with his friend just behind him, with each step more and more was revealed to him as this was no small patch of trees. This was a forest that was just as thick as it was described in all of the books detailing them, taking his friends hand he walks deeper into the shadowy depths.
As he continued to walk he heard a slight rustling noise, looking up he could see the leaves rustling in the wind gently. Stopping to watch as the leaves continued to move softly letting gentle streams of light through, as the sun was well past its peak the leaves became coloured with a gentle glow. The streams of sun hit the forest floor illuminating the shrubbery ever so slightly in the same warm glow, sitting down slowly into the soft grass and moss. Looking around taking in the scenery that to him was as dazzling as the fields that surrounded his home.
This had been another one of the biggest days of his life laying down on the soft ground, it took meer moments for his eyes to close from sheer exhaustion. Just before he feel into a deep sleep he was able to catch the faint silver glow of the moon, looking up slightly he could see the near full moon glowing softly.
When he dreamed his mind was bright with all that he had seen today. He dreamed of green flowing grass, a vast blue sky that appeared to go on for eternity, the bright warm glow of the sun that blanketed the world in a gentle heat. The scene of his dream switched to night and the countless shades of blue, the bright silver glow of the moon floating so high above his head draping the world in a faint silver glow. What saddened him was not being able to get as clear a view of the stars he so adored, their bright white glow adorned his world like a floor of precious gems. In this glorious dream world he knew, he was happier than he had ever been.
