Here I was viewing all of it while feeling everything that had happened back in those moments as if reliving the memory entirely.
I was four and it was my first day in the upper kindergarten, not before that I had changed schools in back from when I used to go in nursery.
My dad just took me all the way to the classroom and had helped me carry my bag over to the front window side seat where I had decided to sit.
After having helped me settle all my stuff right he decided it was alright to leave before he stopped and looked directly at me saying these words.
"You are a student now and your name won't be Auden here. In this school your name will be Winston. Winston Reece"
Saying those words he left and later more students came in with their parents who bade each other farewells and finally the teacher came who introduced herself and did the roll call.
In the roll call when my name was called as Winston instead of Auden did it hit me hard about what had happened and I voiced that concern in my thoughts.
'My name is different now? But I liked to be called Auden'
What started from as me simply objecting soon turned into a whole line of line of thinking that occupied my mind for as soon as I had time where if I had chance then I used to ask the names of others and also that whether if they had different names back at home that they were called by. Many of them had it but they were mostly just short of what their actual name was, which was not how it was for me.
This made me pay special attention to things like the meaning of the names even if they were of characters I saw on TV or books which were read to me and later on I read them myself.
Still even though it had took me a few years of relentless convincing I had eventually convinced my parents to have my school name changed back into how I was called back at home.
Looking at all of it so clearly just give me a warm feeling and also made me want to giggle.
So I did.
"Hehe"
Eyes widened I looked in surprise as even before me realizing something had happened those golden sparks had already joined together and made me back my physical form. While in my grasp was this object that I instinctively knew was the core and nature of my Divinity.
So I gave it a try and wrote my new name on the air and smiled at how unlike before this might be one I would accept as my new one.
"It's wonderful that you wrote it, [Meaning of Words]. That's a powerful name and it gives proof of the life you have so far lived. It is time for me leave, farewell and see you soon"
Then just how those clothes had appeared from thin air they slowly dematerialized and later completely vanished.
I did not mind that disappearance after a short while as I had things of far greater interest.

Looking at the object closely in order to understand the powers of this pencil I was holding made pay attention to my hand was glowing with an ethereal light, which started to grow annoying so I changed my complete form back into my original human one while covering it with a white robe with golden embroidery that glowed with the same light.
"Looks like I can make words in thin air with it", I said while making disjointed in the air and willed them into changing shape and becoming letters that joined together into words for words like 'apple', 'orange' and 'Magellanic clouds'. All three completely normal things you would see in your day-to-day life.
"Can I make them into...yeah it works. Materialize", by pushing some effort into visualization I swung the pencil like a wizard's wand and the words instantly became much more than just letters combined.
The word for apple became a red colored apple, word for orange turned into an orange colored orange which I am sure would have tasted orangey and lastly the words 'Magellanic cloud' became like a small piece of the milky had found itself floating in the air.
"None of these are actually those things though"
Swiping my hand at them all of them first turned back into the original word then into the lines which I shaped them from and finally did they fizzle out.
"That worked out pretty well. Now I should learn about what this place truly is"
Bringing the pencil tip down I touched the ground with it and kept it still for a moment before asking in a well meaning manner.
"Let me know your name"
Electric current like energy spread out from the pencil going to the ground spreading away and later came back then went back inside it. Bringing me the name of what this entire place was.
"'Garden of wisdom' eh?"
A vast quantity of information about this place became known to me from that name as it helped me figure out importance it served and this place's meaning.
This planet has been the private domain of all the Divines of wisdom, with a really hard to overcome barrier while kept isolated from nearest stars or galaxy all thanks to the recent one of them called [Secrets of Shadows] and his excessive caution.
"Cautious except for when he wants to cheat with fate perhaps"
The rest of information then explained why the planet is hollow as this place was also used to summon either some massive or really volatile objects or catalyst that would disintegrate any solid matter instantly so except for the small grassy land, I was sitting on the after materialising a chair with words, rest of it was made from the universal solvent, which was just water.
Next I tried this on the blue colored table as the only other interesting item and repeating the process got to learn it's name.
"'Tablet of transport and summoning', so this is how I was pulled into this world. Should be called the Tablet of transport and suffering instead. Wait, can it be used for..."
Putting the words into action before even saying them I touched the table shaped tablet with my hand which I gave back the ethereal glow as the carvings and symbols on the table light up.
An image appeared on the map showing my position at the centre as gold colored tear drop with there being few hundred comets revolving around closest to me and after that there was only a vast amount of emptiness in my surrounding space which showed that this planet was not inside any solar system or close to any galaxy.
Only at the very edge of the map was a there beacon of the same tear drop symbol, albeit much smaller with the colors separating into two halves that were black and white.
Clicking on it the map disappeared as I felt a gate opening which connected me back to a familiar place.
A small room with a messy bed and locked closet where the ceiling fan was rotating slowly. There was a rectangular table of the regular variety with quite a lot of items on it including a few books laying on top of each other and a small stuffed toy while the walls had a few tacky poster of some drift cars above those which were drawings of different characters.
Clearly a hostel room of some boy in his late teens right about to be in his twenties. A room where he spent his days studying, listening to music, chatting with his friends, playing board games or online games and where he slept while dreaming of what he might grow up and might become into some day.
All of it was lost to him as he got yanked away from his bed and into the schemes of some god like being that had his own plans and desires.
The same hostel room which I had occupied for more than two years.
