I was completely crazy.
I had to be.
I mean, who else would choose a dark night like this to venture out into the woods? Just me, I guess.
Looking up at the sky I noticed the storm coming closer, but that didn't stop me from going further into the dark mass of trees. I had no idea but there was something drawing me ever closer to the middle of the forest. My mind was telling me to turn around andget the heck out of there, whilst my body refused to listen.
I pushed the leaves out of my face, and stepped over the log sticking out of the ground aiming to trip me over. The storm had reached me and it was close to raining heavily. I could hardly see a thing, it was so dark and foggy, but a light caught my attention from the corner of my eye.
Squinting my eyes to try and see it clearer, I noticed it was a very bright light, and it was ?This just made me more curious, so I changed my path and walked over to the mysterious light.
I got closer and saw the outline of a body lying on the forest floor,surroundedby the light. They weren't moving, and I instantly became worried. I seriously hoped this wasn't a dead body. I knelt down and began checking for a pulse. And I found one, but it was barely there. He seemed to be in a sort of comatose state. My hand brushed over some stubble so I knew it had to be a man. He was dressed in unusual clothing - white robes that were now dirty with mud and moss - leather boots and gloves. And in his left hand, where his ring finger was missing, was an odd looking object that seemed to be the source of the gold light.
I reached my hand out to touch it, and everything went black.
