The Big Lake

Subject: The Big Lake Tue Sep 07, 2010 2:34 pm

She was quick to gather her things and get herself prepared to make the trek. She was to head southwest and continue southwest until she came to a large lake. Her travels was going to take a while and she gathered enough equipment for her to survive out there on her own for a good week if nothing went wrong. She rode upon the horse that was given to her as a gift and now her only companion while she was away, Epona, was the name of the gallant horse. such a beauty she is as Seijin had learned quite well how to ride her and was pretty much a master horseback rider. A strong bond between them two had formed since she was first given her.

The travel was far and long, and they had to go through the forest which was always quite dangerous due to the wild animals that were there. She knew though she had to be as careful as possible. Certainly Epona would be able to out run whatever would chase them. Though it took her about a full day's ride to make it to the edge of the forest where it lined out the beginning of the forest and the end of civility. She would stop there just to stare at the forest. This dreaded feeling emanating from the forest, like she knew something was going to happen and she looked back towards where she came from. "It's not too late to turn back..." she whispered to herself as she held a worried look and then shook her head and she turned her head to look at her horse as she petted the side of her head. "No, we can't do that, are you ready to venture further Epona?" The horse had gave a huff as a sign to show that she was ready.

They crossed the border that took them into the forest, there was no turning back now, they were within a new world now, the world that the forest contained. The ride through the forest was quite the difficult ones as every so often Seijin had to get off of Epona and guide her carefully, and some places she couldn't just ride through without there being some sort of danger. Though of course they had to stop and take a break, she wasn't use to such on going work without taking break and it wore upon her body.

She kept venturing further and further taking a break here and there, eating bits of her food here and there. The day's would pass as Seijin began to wonder just how close she was getting to the lake. She walked next to Epona holding her by her reigns. "I wonder if we are getting any closer, we have been in here for days. I hope I did not get lost."

A loud voice booms in the forest.

"Halt huu-man!"

There is nobody in sight. The voice boomed like it was coming from all around the forest. The forest goes silent. The only sound is the wind that moves around. The voice continues:

"You are coming too close to what you should not! Turn around now and go back! This is your final warning."

The voice speaks clear but it's not in a normal language. But she would be able to understand the voice as if it were speaking the same language as the villages (Saiglish?). If she looked really hard, she would see a tiny little Pixie standing on the road in front of her. He's dressed in sparkling golden robes. If she had really really REALLY good eyes, then she could tell... He looks like he means business.

The booming voice startled her but scared her horse as Epona had lifted up onto her hind legs and released a loud whine. Seijin held tight to the reigns. "Epona, calm yourself!" She stated as she got her horse to calm down, her heart was racing as she looked around wondering where exactly this voice was coming from. It sounded like it came from everywhere. She gulped as her hands held tight to the reigns. The silence filled the air, it was dreading indeed as she couldn't hear anything else around her, but the wind. this was just strange. The voice returned again stating that she was getting too close.

She continued to look around doing her best to find where it came from, that is until she looked ahead onto the path she was walking on and took notice of something that was there. Something quite small, she spoke not a word and merely blinked as she took a step back. She tilted her head and stared even harder as if trying to believe she was actually seeing a tiny man. She rubbed her eyes a moment and had to look again, yes there was a tiny little man dressed in something sparkling.

He looks serious... "I must apologize good sir, but I must continue onward." She stated as she looked to this little pixie, she couldn't turn back now she was close.

When she spoke, The Symbol on her tongue automatically activated for the Pixie to understand her. He didn't see the symbol but because that happened the Pixie looks at her surprised.

"You're able to speak in our language? The others have just stared blankly until they were attacked, but you... you're different. You're almost like Him: the Guide of Light. Oh... the prophesy..."

He thinks. He wasn't able to see inside of her mouth.

"Do you have The Symbol?"

She straightened her posture as she listened to the pixie as he seemed a bit surprised that she spoke their language. She linked as well, that is until he asked about the symbol and that was when she remembered about the symbol that Treshin said he put on her tongue. She blinked and nodded her head. "Oh yes, that is correct. Yes m'lord, I do have the symbol." She didn't want to just stick out her tongue to the pixie as that would just be rude. Her voice was soft and gentle, not once raising in tone. "Do you wish to see the symbol, it has been placed upon my tongue several days earlier."

The Pixie nods and waves his hand.

"Yes, come down here and show it to me."

She nodded and looked towards her horse. "Do not run off now." Epona nodded her head as she released the reign and walked over to the pixie. Once she got near the pixie she lowered down to her knees and lowered her upper body to bring her face much closer to the pixie and she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. Waiting for the pixie to see the symbol.

The fairy nods. He waves her back.

"I see you have the symbol. The Guide of Light came to us and told us someone might come some day. I am ضزتډڃيچ. Follow me and I will take you where you need to go."

He turns around and holds up a hand. The forest changes. It's like there was some type of natural illusion. Chameleon trees part and open a path. He would take her to a Lake Utopia. The lake would radiate brilliantly. Because hell's gate is firmly closed there is no spiritual presence. Life flourishes in this area. There are no "humans" but many plants, animals, hybrids and mystical creatures. There are no man made buildings or structures, everything is natural. She is taken to an opening in the forest by the lake filled with flowers. Light shines down on this place. An elder mystic creature in the form of a very large Eagle/Lion hybrid waits for her to plead her case.

She pulled away after he waved her off and she returned back to her standing position as she looked towards the pixie who stated her would lead her to where she needed to be. The name was quite odd to pronounce, but Seijin would do her best to remember her and remember how he pronounced it.

She watched as the pixie made a new path appear, it seems that the illusions were held in place to keep people from coming to that place. Though what was revealed was a utopia of beauty. She couldn't even feel any spiritual pressence. she glanced to her left and then to her right and right back to the pixie, she looked back to Epona. "Come now." she stated as the horse followed after her getting close enough for Seijin to grab hold of the reigns. They followed after the Pixie who led her to the Lake she needed to be at. All the things that she saw though, it was simply amazing and wonderful. Nothing about this seemed wrong or bad in anyway, this place was like a heaven on earth. She kept a firm look upon her face, but the curiosity in her eyes were clearly told that she wanted to look around and find out all the things that were here, but there was work to be done.

Her eyes had fallen upon the elder mystic creature that looked to be a chimera of sorts, like a sphinx, or a griffin. She kept her earthly eyes focused upon the creature to which she was to plead her case to.
