ELDER DREAM
[[ENTER THE REALM OF DREAMS]]]
(set: $que1 to (a:"[[Who are you?]]","[[How did you get here?]]","[[Why are you here?]]"))
I think... I [[remember]] the day.
I was so little and the world was so big.

The [[road ahead]] looked never ending.]Then [[SHE]] appeared, like a ghost, out of the fog.

"Don't be afraid", she said.

The burning sensation of [[fire]]. The last thing I recall from my childhood.

"Are you [[sure?]]", she asked in a deep voice.]

It was...
What still is...
What it has been for aeons past.
My old, wrinkled body and the [[crystal]].
(track: 'fire2','stop')It keeps me painfully alive in the prison of my wish.
The never ending burden of old age.
But today the crystal shines differently and I [[hope...]]

(track: 'crystal','play')
(track: 'magic','play')I stand up and [[look around...]]The mirrors all around the room show the same old reflection.
Nothing different except from the [[glow]] of the crystal.I slowly raise my hand and gently [[touch]] it.
<img src="hand.jpg">
<style> img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}</style>The room trembles vibrantly and the crystal cracks under the pressure.
A howling wind enters the room smashing all mirrors and the crystal to dust.
It lifts my body up spiraling, and I feel cold.
It feels like [[death]] and I smile at it.

As I travel towards my dark redemption something inside me cries for life.
No...
Why?
The wind stops and I fall to the ground.
A young, [[lost girl]] approaches me.
(track: 'tornado','stop')
(track: 'fall','play')
(track: 'gust','play')She does not respond...
[[Back|lost girl]]
(set: $que1 to $que1 - (a:"[[Who are you?]]"))-You called for me...
[[But how?]]-Because... I need you.
[[You NEED me?]]She remains silent as a gentle gust of wind plays with her long, brown hair.
(if: $que1's length > 0)[\
(for: each _item, ...$que1)[_item<br>]
]
(track: 'gust','play')The girl looks at where the crystal used to be.
Sparkles of light emit from the hole on the ground.
[[Back|lost girl]]
(set: $que1 to $que1 - (a:"[[How did you get here?]]"))-To fight the darkness...
The girl points to the hole in the ground until she becomes [[dust]].I feel something forgotten as I [[step]] into the hole.

<style> img {

}</style>The fear of the [[unknown...]]I levitate like a speck of dust against [[infinity]].
A dark mass appears blazing in front of me.
I feel like I want to [[escape]] but it pulls me so gently into her warm hug.
<img src="black.jpg">
<style> img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}</style>Behind me a [[pillar of light]] gives me a way out.
I don't know if I have the power to reach it.
Maybe I should [[let go]].I swim through the void, with what powers I have left.
I fight to get away from her loving hold.
Pain takes over everything as I reach the [[light]].The pain fades away as she pulls me deep into her core.
I become one with her.
I smile. It is [[over]].
