Chapter 2 & 3

Without warning the school disappears in a bright swirling colorful haze. Feeling a bit scared I tried to pull away and now I believed in demons. Out of the foggy haze I saw him smiling, changing and I hear his voice calm and comforting, “Don’t be afraid, it’s only a journey to a journey.”

As suddenly as it all began it stopped. There table, no cafeteria, no school, only a beautiful, glorious almost dreamlike meadow. Blinking, almost expecting to be dreaming; I look around at the splendor.
In the far off distance was the sound of a slow, but steady river. This meadow seemed to be in a perfect circle as if someone had purposely cut it out. Within this marvelous meadow were the most beautiful flowers. This contained lilies and daffodils, of every kind, within its splendor. I began to notice these flowers seemed to be dancing, from a song that someone seemed to be singing. I began to turn and see where the source of the music was coming from. Everything seemed to be so welcoming and friendly I could hardly believe my eyes.
There he was. Standing in the middle of the meadow was the most amazing creature or man I’d ever seen. At first glance he was very handsome. He was singing this heart wrenching sad song, a type of melody I’d never heard before.
When he noticed me he broke off in the middle of the song and softly said, “How do you like it?”, as he steps closer for me to see him, he was smiling as he seemed to be an angel-like creature, with breathtaking wings one black and one white. He starts flying as if he was dancing passionately. Not believing my eyes, I asked him “Where are we?”
He stops and walks over to me again, grabbing my shoulder and turns me around. “We, Lilith are in the land where time is unlimited and a place of peace and of magic. This is the real never-ending story.” I was puzzled yet again, I looked at him about to question; but before I could.
“Oh… Oh look at this.” Whisking me away towards a distant groove of trees moving the branches out of out ways, we walked further and further into the overgrowth. Butterflies, thousands of them began to flutter all around us and seeming almost human like. “Who are you?” I finally asked, and if he was waiting for me to ask all along.
He stretches out his wings and says with a seductive smile, “I am a time demon, the demon of everything thing that is. I am the one people seek out for the truth,” a twinkle flashed in his vibrant jade green eyes as he promptly turns; leaving me to follow as fast as I possibly could. He led me into another empty meadow. He gracefully sat down, closed his eyes and began to sing his song again.

It was if he was sitting forever. So I began to practice my powers by trying and practicing techniques I knew or wanted to try. My powers seemed to be amplified wherever I was. This place created an aura of peace and tranquility. I began to move heavier and bigger objects to practice and learn new skills by doing so. I moved branches, boulders, etc. to one side of the clearing to the other and back again, which seemed amazing that I could lift heavier and heavier objects that would have taken me years to perfect. This was my favorite place in the whole world. As I became absorbed with my powers it seemed that everything had begun to have a life of its own. I had just begun to move a two foot thick branch to one side of the clearing. It was as if mentally or my powers were connected to this world that the premonition came so quickly. It came and left so fast that I only saw tid-bits of information. I only saw a wild raging camp fire and what appeared to be people dancing around it.

A voice from behind me said, “Took you long enough to notice, to pay attention,” he winked and laughed, seeming rather amused than upset. It was as if he saw, what I had seen within my mind.
“What do you mean?” I asked with a surprised look on my face. He pointed to the left of the clearing where the branches seemed to thicken and be tightly packed together. The groove of trees had significantly thickened an opening began to clear a path through the thick woods. All of the sudden there was a growing light in the far off distance of the path. This angelic and demonic looking creature began to walk towards that direction and he instantly vanished. Immerses and curious to see what he meant I began to follow him. As I walked closer towards the tree I began to hear a subtle noise.
A low and steady beat, drums in the light began to grow steadily closer with each and every step. Strange instruments I had never heard before echoing after the drum. The melody playing seemed primitive yet still with the soothing light emanating from the fire, seemed to tame an unknown a wild side of myself.
Finally we reached a clearing full of men, women and creatures alike. At first glance within the fire, as I crept closer not wanting to cause any attention to myself, I noticed that the fire wasn’t a fire at all. Inside this amazing fake fire contained pixie like creatures. They were dancing giving the illusion of a fire making it look amazing. Everyone was dancing around the pixies like feathers in the wind. Spinning, leaping, crawling, stretching, twisting…

Off on the far edge corner was a beautiful young woman standing with what appeared to be a snow white wolf. She looked like a native to this land because she was wearing only the essentials. On one hand she held a long staff, but it seemed like an arrow at the top it was shaped like a crescent moon. Her other hand she wore a black glove with metal and it was placed on top of the wolf’s head as if she was petting him. She wore a black like corset on one sleeve it was short and colored white. The other sleeve was black and long sleeved. She also wore black short shorts and around her waist was a black and white belt that carried what appeared to be indications about her tribe; it also has a knife and arrows on the sides for hunting. She seemed to be enjoying herself although she wasn’t dancing. She turned and looked at me in the eyes. She slowly made his way towards me.
As she approached she said “Hello, my name is Kachina Claire. It means “Spirit Dancer of Clarity. I am an elder to the Bayamones that live in this area”. Shocked that she had approached me, I gave her a warm and inviting smile.
“Please to meet you,” I said,” My name is Lilith.”
Kachina Claire seemed glad that I was making conversation. She continued talking to me. “Do you like this land? Very warm and pleasant right?” she asked.
“Yes, I love it here and it does seem warm and peaceful. It’s very welcoming,” I responded.
Seeming convince she smiled. “Is there anything you’d like to know? I’m more than willing to answer any and all of your questions, but first, I’d like you to answer one of mine. Why is there so much sadness in your eyes?”
Confused on why she would ask the question, it took me awhile to answer. “I don’t believe that I’m not sure why that is. I feel fortunate to be here and lucky to be the person that I am.”Her face gave no indication of frustration, only that of patience. I continued talking, “Where am I? Do you know why I am here?”
Kachina Claire, laughed slightly, but not seeming upset or annoyed. She answered calmly and whole-heartedly, “Yes I know why you are here, but I cannot say. I can only say that you will find out soon. As for the rest of your question you are in a land that has unlimited time, this place is called Awakening.”
I looked around slowly trying to take it all in not long after the demon grabs me and spins me faster and faster around the fire like a helicopter. It was in this very moment that my real journey truly began, but I just didn’t know it yet.
The heat from the fire blew across my face more intense than a summer breeze. We danced and spun to the beat of the drums, instruments, and the flames. I found that I was enjoying myself more than I had in a long time. As the beat grew faster and faster, it seemed impossible to be playing so fast, so wild, and free that I hardly noticed when everything stopped and vanished, leaving my senses buzzing.
