In a place that isn't a place.
Deep between realites and times.
In a place so ancient that the sun seems but a child taking its first steps. And yet so young that a breeze of wind looks like the oldest of the spirits.
In a place where you can almost hear the hammer of creation behind the walls of darkness. Shaping slabs of existence with its earthbrakening thunder, shaking the pillars of infinity itself...
In such a place...
An old, very old entity wakes up from its slumber...
And YOU are the reason of its awakening.
Diving into the thick darkness completely blinded by its emptiness you suddenly stop.
A presence... Out of nowhere a giant presence shakes your whole existence...
Thousands of memories and colors you have never seen befote flashes through your mind like if someone burned a forest of fire inside your brain. Emotions as hard as crushing, souless iron of the deepest mines and as light as floating, gracious feather of the highest skies fill your very heart. You cry. You shout. You laugh with the strangest combination of feelings that you ever felt. As if someone split your head open showing you a completely new world... Hitting you whole with a sea of lightnings bearing new unexplored world...
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
And then it stops. Leaving your mind as quick as it came - the fire extinguished leaving only hot ashes behind.
Breathing out both existing and nonexistent air of this place you manage to calm yourself down. Wiping out your tears you stare straight confused but still utterly shaken by the thing you just experienced. Being still deep in your thoughts you barely notice the faint presence lurking in front of you...
-Long, long time ago...-
Whispered a deep voice. Like if a rusted mountain of metal that lived longer than time itself... begun to tell a fairy tale to a child.
Petrified by fear and awe you stay silent, not finding any strength to say anything. At the same time allured to the voice.
-Or maybe it didn't happen yet...-
It continues echoing through the darkness.
-Time is a funny thing really...-
-You can be sure that you started at some point... But then, at seemingly very end you find yourself at the beginning...-
-Time... Is it a neverending string of rope or a bucket of water? Even I am lost here...-
...
-Ah... But you are not here to listen about too old me... No. You are here because you are looking for something...-
-Hahaha!-
Boomed powerful mountain making you flinch in the voidless void.
-Ah... You are looking for it. But you don't truly know... We all look for it. But it is not what you think it is...-
-I'm not going to ruin your fun. You will learn on your own fragile shell. Yes. I will give you what you think you want.-
-A story... A tale...-
You feel excitement building up inside you.
-A spark of wind in the bones of earth...-
As the ancient voice uttered those words you feel as if your whole body was teared out of reality.
Spinning whole you try to understand what is happening but your consciousness slips. Falling into a vortex of darkness and colors you unexpectedly hear words so calm and clear in the surrounding you chaos.
-Long, long time ago in the future...-
