Long time ago in a far away universe there was a peculiar planet named "Atopos", where the forests are very thick and dark and the rivers very swift and strong, there once lived a girl named Feliz.
One cold morning Feliz was walking through the wilderness, she doesn't know where she was going. She walked and walked and walked thinking that is walking can wipe all the pain and sorrows that she was suffering.
As she walked through the center of the forest, she stepped into a tiny metal thing that appears to be a golden key, she picked it up and examined it, and it's not a usual key but a golden one with a very astonishing form.
As she put the key to her pocket she begun to walk once again, out of nowhere someone blocks her way, Feliz was daze of what she saw, a tough ugly like creature with a tough rock like skin.
It was a loathsome troll that has a cane, he pointed the cane to the girl's face and said "answer this riddle correctly and I'll let you pass through this bridge, but if your answer is wrong you will take my place and guard this bridge."
She nod out of fear and the troll uttered the riddle "I don't have lungs or a chest but I need air; I'm not alive but I grow, I don't have a mouth and I don't like water. What I am?"
Feliz was thinking very hard...
suddenly a strong wind blew, at the back of the troll she saw a growing fire beneath the bridge as she was looking at the fire she recite the riddle silently and realized that the answer was fire,
Feliz shouted "FIRE!!"
"The answer is FIRE"
the troll make a grumpy facial expression and let Feliz cross the bridge, she walked as fast as she can for the fear that the fire under the bridge might reach her.
She was catching her breath as she finally manages to get through the bridge. She stopped for awhile and gasps for some air.
Meters away she saw an inverted pyramid, Feliz stared at it for a moment and out of curiosity she decided to go near the pyramid,
and she was mesmerized by its beauty, she touched the wall unconsciously and it feels like she's freezing...
the moment she open her eyes, her clothes was changed into a weird looking gown with lots of colors she was stunned by the tons of people wearing a colorful robes with their bright colored hair.
She was in the middle of a stadium inside the pyramid while the people were chanting some cheers for her.
Feliz was so confused of what was happening but then a good looking guy with a strange haircut and bright orange robes appeared in front of her and said
"you need to finish this obstacle course and win this competition"
Feliz was staring blankly at him analyzing what was he have said.
And finally the guy speaks again "remember this, YOU MUST WIN."
And suddenly the guy blended with the crowd, Feliz was still unable to think properly.
At the fire of the gun the race starts, all of her opponents start running, after several seconds Feliz start running like there's no tomorrow.
She encountered weird and ugly creatures along the way but in the end she manage to win the game.
The good looking guy with the weird haircut appeared once again to give her prize, he hand over the prize and it was a fascinating beaded magnifying glass the moment she touched the magnifying glass she felt like she was floating in a cold air and she was swirling very fast she feels like she's about to throw up.
Little by little the cold feeling was fading and when she opened her eyes she was standing in front of a familiar house.
She glared at the house for a several minutes, she heard a noise coming from the house out of curiosity she stepped closer to the door of the house and she started peeking into a keyhole where she saw a happy family wishing a familiar girl a happy birthday.
She stared at girl while thinking very hard if why she feels that she knows the girl, something came into her mind that the one she was looking at was her.
..
Realization came across into her mind;
she remembered that the reason she was walking on the wilderness for she can't accept the fact that she was already dead.
She wanted to hug her parents so she decided to open the door but unfortunately the door was lock.
She peek at the keyhole once again and saw her beautiful mother hugging her and suddenly she recall that she has a key ..
she grab it in her pocket as fast as she can and opened the door quickly but there was no one in the old house she looked for her parents around the house..
she came across to a room that has her name engraved on the door and when she opened it she saw a book at her bed and she realized it was her diary she sat onto her bed and picked up the book. When she opened the book once again she felt the freezing sensation and feels like the book was sucking her.
The freezing sensation vanished and when she opened her eyes she was lying on her bed while holding her book.
She smiled, for its just a dream.
