Long title. Hehe.
This story can be found at my blog.
Raj stabbed at the soldier and then sliced the man of his arms. Then there came another, and another, as if it would never end. Suddenly, a bright symbol arrived. It was roughly in the shape of a compass. There were four double-bars. All was white with a black trim. It was the same symbol Raj had seen the past few nights.
Suddenly, Raj was transported out of his dream. He saw the symbol on the ground, in white and silver. At the edge of the symbol, there was just blue sky. He walked to one end of the corners and looked in all directions, blue everywhere!
There were few white doves going by, but there was no other creature.
It was then that Raj realized his set of clothes changed. He still had this short black hair that draped over his eyes and his dark, black mysterious eyes. His small expressionless mouth remained, but his attire was extremely different. He wore a long sleeve shirt of green with at his elbows and at the trim of his shirt was blue. His pants were a dark shade of green with blue at the knees and the trim again. His shoes were a light brown with no laces. What a terrible pair of clothes!! Raj frowned.
He ran to the center of the symbol with his amazing speed when a beautiful woman twirled down. She had silver hair, green eyes, and a black dress. 'Hello,' she said with a friendly smile on her face.
Raj was startled, and after a second of confusion, quietly replied, 'Hello.'
'Raj, I am glad I have finally gotten you here.'
'It was you who kept the symbol in my dreams.' Raj said as a statement.
'Yes, it was me. By the way, I am Nao, goddess of color and travel. I am the one who brings foreigners like you to the world of Erinn.'
'Glad to meet you Nao.'
'As I to you Raj. You are at the platform between the world and the heavens. I am the send you down to Erinn, but first, listen to a word.'
Raj nodded.
'I know you are a fighter, a good one at that. Do not use anything but daggers, due to your build, stature, and mind. There are very few, if not, none who use this as their primary weapon, so I expect greatness out of you.'
'Yes Nao.'
'I will come for you when the time is right and have you defeat an enemy. If you suceed in these skills of the dagger, you shall be free of the town I am leaving you in. If not, I can not let you out of the safe town for fear of your death.' She summoned a feather, ink, and paper, and wrote quickly but neatly on it. She tucked the paper into an envelope and sealed it, handing it to Raj. 'Give this to Duncan, the chief of Tir Chonaill, the town I am leaving you in. Now I shall send you down.'
Raj felt himself going down, not falling, but merely floating downwards. After Raj was out of hearing range, Nao chuckled, 'I like him, Raj.' Then she disapearted.
Raj landed inside of a stone building that lit up when he got on it. When he stepped off, the stone building just looked like an ancient rock of no importance. He walked along the path to Tir Chonaill. The sky was a midnight black, and he was surprised because up where he talked to Nao, it was clear blue!
He continued to walk and hesitated when going to the trees, but was surprised when he saw a small town in the distance. 'Hello Tir Chonaill.' He took a deep breath and walked on.
To Be Continued!
I'm extremely sorry for any spelling mistakes. I used the grammar check.
I'm also sorry to those storyline addicts who know Nao is not the goddess of color and travel, and the area where she talks to Raj is not the platform between the world and the heavans. Sorry to say, I need it that way for the rest of the story. Please don't rant about that, because this isn't entirely based on Mabinogi.
Thank you for reading and commenting. I truly appreciate it.
