My name is Rico I'm thirty years old and today I went to my first anime/ comic book convention. I was never able to go to one, never really had the time, it always worke or help take care of your brothers and sisters.
They're all married now and my parents they are off doing their own thing.
So for the first time in years I actually had fun, I bought an old knight armor I found online, painted it silver and polished it until it shined. The only problem with it is the fact that the left leg gets stuck and won't move, thankfully a guy in the convention had a screwdriver and helped me out when the thing left me limping around.
It was a joined convention, so I was able to buy a White Lantern ring, Jack Spiros compass that has no north, the Cult from Super Natural and a giant pack of cards from various shows.
The convention was done by fans so it wasn't an official one, so a lot of the stuff was being resold by people, so a guy that was selling swords put the white lantern ring in the center of the hilt of the sword I traded a set of figurines I bought earlier.
The best part is that the guy thru in a small radio that plays songs from anime, cartoon, movies and games, the one I'm listening to right now is the Pirates of the Caribbean A pirates life for me.
My leg got stuck again, I can hear the sound of a car coming but I don't see anything, in fact I can't see anything or feel anything at all. What's happening?

In a distant forest one long forgotten by the people of both the past and the future, a young girls song could be heard.
"Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me. We pillage, we plunder we rifle and loot. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot." The young girl's voice was carried by the wind through the forest but as one got closer to where the song came from they would only find a knight holding onto a sword like it would leave his side, at any moment.
"Where am I?" the knight said as he stood up and checked the plastic bag he had on him, he looked thru the things the bad held and found a simple black cellphone, however after he saw that it had no signal and had no possible way of contacting any emergency service, the knight decided to simply walk and see if he could find any people.
However, the only sound he heard was that of his music playing in a loop and the forest singing in its own way, with the sounds of the various animals that lived inside it.
He walked until the sun sat and continued to walk until he was unable to, as the forest became too dark to walk in. Every step he gave became more and more difficult as the sun vanished and the light of the moon was too weak for it to be of any real help.
He sat down on the overgrown root of a giant tree and stopped the music from playing any longer, unable and unwilling to sleep less something catch him unprepared he briefly remembered the white lantern ring inside his sword.
"On the brightest day, on blackest night. Look to the stars for hopes burns bright. We are the will that keeps away the night. So where life dies we will be there to join the fight." he said, not knowing that undoing so the ring began to gather energy from all the life around it.

I woke up to something hitting my helmet, luckily for me it was only a monkey a small one at that, plus the annoying thing was completely alone so I could shoo it away.
"Hey you can't be here, this is the elven forest." Said a girl that dropped from the tree above me. She had long brown hair a short skirt, protective arm and boots all colored orange, plus she had white strips covering her chest.
As she looked at me I could see the long staff in he left hand, yet by the way she held it confidently, I could tell she knew how to use it skillfully.
"Im lost, could you point me to the way out. Sorry if I bothered you, but it was to dark to see, so I got some rest." Ricos said.
He girl looked at me with a distrustful expression yet she simply let out a bright smile and pointed west and looked at me, waiting for me to leave.
There was no reason for me to stay, so I just got up and walked away from the only place I knew that had any clue for me to be able to go home. Still, there was no guaranty of me being able to go home from there so there was no point in staying.
I could hear the sound of the trees above me shaking, no doubt it was the girl watching me, making sure I really left. Slowly I could see the various shades the trees made become fewer and fewer until I finally left the forest behind.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to give twenty steps when I heard the sound of the same car from before and I was blinded by the suns light.
