Remnants of Hero's long since Past

You see a young man chopping away at bushes with a machete in what looks like a jungle. He it about five feet nine inches tall, with long light blonde hair and pointy elf like ears and is garbed in a pair of levy blue overalls and a farmers hat. The young man is hacking away at the bushes with a determined look on his face as if he is looking for something. He soon took a break and he throws the machete at a fallen log and it sticks. He then pulls out a piece of parchment that looks like map. He puts his finger on the map and moves it as if he if he is following a set path on the map. He pulls his finger from the parchment map and folds it neatly and puts it back in the front pocket of his overalls. He pulled the machete from the log with little effort and then continues to hack away at the local vegetation. As the young man continued to hack away he thought he heard movement somewhere in the vegetation. He quickly stopped and looked around and listened for the same sound once more, but it was gone. The young man started to hack away at the vegetation and soon the vegetation began to thin out. Soon the young man exited the brush and came to a clearing. He was in a….forest? He pulled out the map and unfolded it and put his finger down where he thought he was but was unsure because the location was non-existent on his map. He wrinkled his eye brows with confusion but then with a realization, his face lit up and he did a fist pump. He put the parchment map back in his front overall pocket and walked forth into the forest. The forest was mostly composed of massive cottonwoods and large aspens, and ground was littered with leafs of various colors. From violet red to light yellow, the forest was a beautifully sight to behold. The young man looked around more studying his surrounding, he soon decided to move forward.

He walked to the opposite end of the area he was in, as he did the light of sun began to grow darker, and soon he was unable to see much. He looked up and noticed that the thickness of the trees was growing. That's odd, the all the tree should be losing their leafs this time of year…which is fall. Even at this thought he continued to move forward, but he soon had to take out his lantern. He struck a match on a nearby rock and lit his lantern, but he had did a double take and looked back at the rock. He kneeled down and tried to tare away the think vine that had taken the rock captive, but as much as he pulled at them they would not budge. Then he had an idea, he picked up his lantern and swept it across the vines. As the vines burnt down the young man began to panic realizing that what he just did would cause a forest fire.

He looked around for a source of water to put the fire out but there was nothing he could use. He closed his eyes and held them shut waiting for the fire to reach the ground, but as he listened to the sound of the fire continuing its decent to the ground it began to make a sound like it was slowly going out. He opened one eye and looked at the vines and to his surprise the fire was starting to fade on its own accord, almost as is an invisible force was slowly putting out the fire. Soon the fire was completely out and the rock that only a few minutes was covered in thick vines was now completely exposed. Nothing else had been burnt or had caught fire. The young man opened the other eye and started to examine the rock that stood about two feet off the ground. It had a rather large round hole right smack-dab in the middle of it. But by taking a closer look at the rock he notices a symbol at the very base of the rock, it looked like a big triangle but was composed of three smaller triangles. Each triangle was the same size as the one closest to it and were all at the same exact angle. With an even further examination each triangle had a single letter in side of them. The young man was not sure what each one meant, but he remembered seeing these in a very old book that his father had shown him long ago. He tried to remember what they translated into and as he continued to study the symbols he started to see letters and then the letters formed into words.

The young man rubbed his eyes thinking he was seeing things, but when he removed his arm he was using to rub his eyes with the letters were still there and they had formed into words. The top triangle word said "Power" then the lower left hand word said "Wisdom" and the last word in the lower right hand corner said "Courage". The young man was baffled by the event that had just occurred, and was rather confused by what this all meant. He continued to ponder all that had happened, but he was interrupted by a rustle of leafs and a shadow moving in farther back in the area. When the young man swan his lantern in that direction there was nothing there, but he had just now noticed a massive door with the same markings that were on the rock that he had discovered. It has the same large triangle composed of the same smaller triangles. He walked up to the door and looked at it again and once more the words appeared before him in the same exact order.

The young man then put his hand on the door hoping to find a way to open it. Upon putting his right hand bellow the three triangles that were etched on the stone door one of the smaller triangles lit up. The triangle that lit up was the one that was the triangle of Courage, and with a shocked looked stricken upon his face the young man saw that the same triangle was lighting up on his left hand. A idea can to the young man, he would put his hand on the triangle that matched on his hand. He slowly pulled his hand up to the triangle, and then all of a sudden his hand was pulled to the stone door as if some invisible force or being was pulling it to the door. He lost all control and his hand was pulled the surface of the door and upon first contact he head began to ache, then he started to see images and flashbacks raced through his head. They were all comprised of places that he had never been to as well as events that had never occurred in his life. From all the pain and sudden trauma of all that was going on, the young man passed out and fell to the forest floor with a rather loud "thud". As he lay there a shadowy figure walked up to him and stood there looming over the unconscious body. Only the figures shadow was visible. Nothing more, nothing less.
