Okay. So I’m here.

I still fail to understand, but I’m here. Seriously though… is this some sort of dream? I’d like to get out of it. Maybe if I pinch myself? Ouch. Wait… I’m not awake. What the hell does this mean? Okay…. I’m a tad bit creeped the hell out right now..

The door is opening.

What? What door? What are you talking about? And who are you? Okay, I seriously need to wake the hell up right now because I am not enjoying this. And stop telling me what to do because I’m not your bitch! Why is this ground shaking? Wait. I’m not standing on firm ground. No. No… no, no, no, no, no! Why is this whatever-the-hell-this-is shaking!? Someone! Please! Help me! I can’t die here in this hellhole! I - 

It stopped. And now there are three pillars ahead of me. But they weren’t here before. Okay, I’m really creeped out now… I want to go home. I need to go home now… Please.. I don’t need a sword, I don’t need an over-sized wand, and I sure as hell don’t need a fucking shield right now, I want to go HOME! Someone! Help me

Dammit… no response..

Power sleeps within you. If you give it form, it will give you strength.

…what? Power? Within me? Sleeping?
Okay… I’m not so sure this is a dream, anymore. This all seems too real to be my imagination. I’m beginning to realize home might not be an option, anymore. This is real.
Power. Within me.
I could use some of that.

Okay, So I’m here.

I still fail to understand, but I’m here. I don’t know what I’m doing here, though. I hear a distant voice. Who is that? Its telling me to step forward. Yes, I can walk, obviously; I have legs, don’t I? Damn. And now its telling me I’ve agreed the this “dangerous task” ahead of me. Yeah, if I honestly would have agreed to such a dangerous task, I wouldn’t be here. Sorry, ghost buddy, but you’ve got me mixed up with someone I’m obviously not. But I don’t understand. Who is this beautiful maiden? What does she have to do with me? …I still don’t understand any of this, and this voice I keep hearing is not even helping the slightest-

The door is opening.

What? What are you saying? I don’t even understand—-
Rumbling? Why is this thing trembling!? Oh my goodness, please don’t tell me the pillar is about to collapse! Is this it? Am I going to die now? In my sleep!? I cant believe this is—  It stopped. And now… three statues stand before me. A mage, a plaldin, and a knight. They’re stone, but they’re holding real… weapons? Three weapons. A staff, a shield, and a sword, respectively. Well, this just took a really weird turn. Where the hell did three stone statues come from a stained-glass pillar!?

Power sleeps within you. If you give it form, it will give you strength.

…Power? I don’t understand. Power is not in me. Nor does it sleep. I’m sleeping. Don’t you understand?

reazione -

What?… what am I doing here?

I don’t know this place. Its strange to me… Where is everybody!? Am I dead, or have I gone to heaven? I’m really frightened…

Everything’s stained glass - dark, but light. And its beauteous. I see… a beautiful young lady, holding a rose. Her eyes are shut… maybe she’s in a spell? I don’t know. But she looks godly - radiant features; gorgeous, flowing blonde hair; vivid red lips, and she seems to be wearing the most divine purple dress. But, she’s covered in thorns? Does this mean she’s in danger? Three fairies float around her; maybe they’re protecting her from the thorns… and there’s this ominous apparition; a V-shaped pointed spirit, with a circle over the middle of the V. I don’t like the feeling of that one. This is all angelic; one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, but I’m still not sure as to why I’m here… This darkness is overwhelming me. As if some late reaction.

And all I can think about is those three fairies’ names: Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. The question is; how do I know them?

primo respiro -

It seems as if it was forever ago that I last saw sunlight. As if I were taking myfirst breath of life.

This place is no different.

What the hell? Its dark everywhere. Not that I’m scared of the dark or anything, I’m just… creeped out by this place. I’m bathed in light, though, so I can see. I’m on a… a pillar of some sort? And its all stained glass. Green - with a… is that a princess? A girl of some sort; in a yellow dress, with a blue top, and short, dark hair. She’s wearing a red headband, and she’s biting into an apple. But she’s asleep. Doesn’t this girl know not to eat while you’re unconscious? Maybe she choked on it and died, haha! Stupid bitch. She’s surrounded by seven weird looking guys, and then by animals. God, its like I’m in some sort of nuthouse. I need to get the hell out of here. Now.

ad occhi aperti -

Darkness. Never-ending darkness.

All around me. I am surrounded.

I look up, and I see a light… is that a… window - up there? I look down, and.. I’m standing. On a pillar. I stand on glass. It is stained - like those windows on a church. Just what the hell am I doing here!? I don’t understand any of this. What is this place? With open eyes, I see a girl - a princess? - engraved on the glass. She’s… beautiful. Wearing a bluish-white dress, short blonde hair, with a headband, it seems she only has one slipper on, and she’s running… from a castle; down a flight of stairs. Behind her is a white carriage and a clock with both hands signaling the stroke of midnight, and her eyes - beautiful… beyond comparison. There are silhouettes engraved on the outermost edge of the surface as well - is that her? - dancing with a male figure.

I don’t understand this. What does a princess have to do with me being here?
