I remember it so vividly. A dream I had that was a reality.
A sleep, a sleep like any other. A dream that hovers you above the clouds like a surreal landscape. To feel and see all the different colors and smell the fresh air of nothingness. I had a dream, I don’t know if any of it was real or whether it was just my imagination. Everything I witnessed emphasized what went on in my life. I’m no ordinary girl. I’m no ordinary student. I hold a certain power.
I felt my self floating high up in the sky, my head was lightheaded with different images of the mind. My body was light and swam through the many clouds, I thought of nothing. I sought out the pleasantness my body longed for. The air was fresh, it wasn’t like a dream, I could smell fresh air and fresh greens. Plants and various vines. I was somewhere and my mind was in another. I wasn’t in my room any longer and I dreaded the heavy lifting of my eyelids.
My dark brown eyes store up in the endless sky. Birds flew up above yelling out their mating caws, flying through puffy cotton-like clouds and protruding towards destination. Where was I? I didn’t know, I was in a dream. A dream where everything seemed so much like the real world yet it was something of my imagination. In the past. This wasn’t the Japan I knew so well, this was a forest and I was alone.
My head ached, so I stayed there laying on my back, gazing at the skies above. Another world perhaps? A dream. Only it wasn’t. I tried to speak, but my muscles felt drugged. I was exhausted, but how? I wanted to sit up but my body refused to move but an inch. I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t move. I was a helpless being there for any harm. I turned my gaze to the side, my pupils staring deep at the plants surrounding me. Trees.... an endless mass of trees, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, berries, animals even so? The dirt crumbled so richly below me, where was I?
I winced because my brain banged against my skull like a pulse. I cringed at the pain. There was no logic to what I was witnessing, I had no idea. I had no idea that this place would be the beginning of my adventures. The beginning of my life.
My body lolled to the side, I felt drugged as if my body was loaded with dope. My arms came about me sluggishly and I lifted myself up. The place was spinning around me, a carousel of trees. I fell back down, my stomach rumbling with revolt. I could feel my insides tearing, threatening to run back up my esophagus. It took me but a minute to recover and I tried again to sit up. This time with success. My mouth gaped open with awe as I looked around me. Trees were indeed surrounding me. I lay upon a path of soft rich dirt. This was dirt I had never ever laid eyes on let alone feel with the smooth of my skin. I grasp a handful of soil and let it spill down the slits of my fingers. Where was I? How did I get here?
I was alone, I felt like the only being left on the face of the earth. Was I? I suddenly felt the urge to go home. Was this how little girls felt in the movies when they suddenly parted from their families and wished to come home? Is this how Dorothy felt when she found herself in the land of Oz. Is this how Alice felt in Wonderland? Was I one of those girls in my own world of oz? I wanted to go home, I wanted to see my family, my friends and hug them and tell them how much I loved them. I felt trapped here, like there was no escape. Where was I? Where was I?
It was as if all time had stopped and my heart was beating so rapidly against my breastbone. I felt as if I were going to faint and there it was, between me and the world, there was something nearby. I could hear nothing but the faint sound of the leaves crumpling. Another being, I wasn’t alone. It was then that I suddenly wished I really WAS alone. Fear radiated off of me as I swayed up a bit, grasping onto a nearby tree for balance. I was in a stance ready for the being nearby. I didn’t know who or what it was, but it was coming closer and I feared my heart would burst from my chest onto the cold soft gravel below. My legs shook, threatening to let go so I would fall. I cursed them as I cursed my idiotic body for being so weak.
He came about from the bushes, staring at me in a similar stance. Ready to fight. I let out a silent gasp and closed my eyes a moment, opening them again only to stare right into the creatures eyes. What was he?
He had golden yellow eyes, glowing in the midst of day and he had the most silver hair I had ever laid eyes on. His skin looked soft, but I could tell it was more rough than a male’s skin. He had surly been doing hard work his life. His lips.... oh his lips were curved into glare, but they were tender, never touched a bit of sympathy or love. They were lips of a man whom wasn’t interested in such a thing. Atop his head were the oddest shaped ears, cat ears shaped to be a dogs. A dog? The man was tall and he wore a red kimono, a fighting kimono. Upon his fingers and bare feet were the meanest claws, ready to slash at anything harmful in his way. I only prayed I wasn’t one of them. He just stared at me through his humanly yellow eyes, inspecting me and taking a step closer as if I were some object on display. I stepped back, only to bump right in to the tree I was currently keeping balance on. My heart was still thumping wildly against my chest. Could he hear it? I feared he couldn’t, otherwise he could have sensed the fear coursing through my veins.
“A human? Who are you?!” His voice was majestic. His voice made me want to fall back into a slumber. I was dreaming.. surly. I wanted to wrap up in that kimono and stroke his fine silver hair. My knees trembled below me as he spoke. He spoke such humanly words yet he wasn’t a human. What was he? I feared the answer as well.
He stepped forward again, seeing my cowardly stance, my body threatened to faint. I couldn’t, not with an unknown being right in front of me. My lips parted to speak, but there was no voice to accompany it. I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t do anything but stare dumbfounded at him and make him look at the idiot I was. So many questions burrowed itself in my mind, yet I could not speak them, I could not reveal them. It was as if I were frozen in my place, unable to do anything but stand shakily against a tree to which its bark pierced wildly against my back. What was this place, Who was he? I wanted to go home, I wanted to wake up and see everything was normal. I wanted to go to school and sleep the hours away until the bell rang and I would stand up for my next class. That reality seemed more like a dream then which I stood.
“Can you hear me? Who are you?” The man asked again. His ears twitched with irritation as he watched me. My palms were thrust eagerly in a fist, my skin sweating at the heat my body was producing. How embarrassing to loose your voice the one time you needed it. Why was I so useless. My eyes fluttered a moment, yet I fought the urge to faint. Or perhaps it would have been better to fall ill before him. But surely I would be dead. “Keh, what a nuisance.” He mumbled finally, sneering at me and turned on his heels. His hair brushed lightly against the wind at his movement, fluttering behind him handsomely. I saw it, the ancient sword fastened tightly against his side. He meant no harm, I thought, otherwise the man would have aimed it at me, I was safe... for the moment.
“W-wait...!” My voice came out cracked and little. I felt stupid and now a whole new embarrassment rushed through my body. Why was I talking to him? He was walking away, I should have just let him go before I dig myself into a deeper grave. Despite my mind, the man had turned around and stared at me with an expression of disbelief and partway boredom. “Wait...” I said more clearly, adjusting my tone of voice.
“... err. What do you want, now?” He asked me in a more agitated tone. He waited eagerly for what I wanted and I found myself taking more and more time to find out what I really wanted to say. My body was feeling light again and any moment, I knew I would just collapse. I was drifting away... I was drifting from this dream I was in.
“What are you?” I asked in a mere whisper, sweat beading my forehead within in the seconds passing by. The tree was becoming less of help, my legs trembled below me and once more I felt the revolting sense deep in the pit of my stomach. Dear god, not now. I prayed, not now.
“A demon.....” His voice once again astounded me, I was lost in his voice just like I was lost in this strange world. Where was I? Oh god, I should have asked that. Not again... My eyes blurred and his figure become nothing but a bunch of red color. My body weakened and I fell to the ground, taking in the earthy smell within my last breath. I heard something muffled before I went under. I just wish I could have understood it.
A sleep, a sleep like any other. A dream that hovers you above the clouds like a surreal landscape. To feel and see all the different colors and smell the fresh air of nothingness.
