Chapter 2
A white light surrounded me, it was so bright that I used my hands to shield me from it."...you must fulfill your destiny-"
"Huh? Who are you?..where are you? why can't I see you?"
"I see someone hasn't been listening to what I have said. I'm here to help you child, do not be afraid,"the strong yet soothing voice replied.
"I'm not afraid,"strange but I felt at peace like there was nothing that could harm me."I'm confused though, what is this about fulfilling my destiny?"
"You'll see child, you'll see. I must leave you now for the hour nears when you will open your eyes.."
"Wait don't leave me! I need answers..please stay?"my voice was nothing more than a whisper, but I knew my pleas were heard clearly enough.
"Do not be afraid, time will answer your questions.Goodbye my child, may the light shine on you."
That's when everything went black again, and I couldn't help feeling like Alice in Wonderland falling into the darkness.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?...Hmm no, not human I see.Tin?"Said the creature.
"Yes?"replied a small voice.
"We must take her immediately to King Oberon.."
"How do you know it is a she?"asked the one called Tin, frown on his brow.
"I am not a man.."This was all I could say, my body felt like it weighed a ton. All I could do was open my eyes and watch the scene that unfolded in front of my eyes.
"As you can see I was right, now what is your name? Surely you are not from these parts of the wood, where do you hail from?"came the merry reply from the creature. I hadn't seen anyone like him before, he was slender yet well built, and it was as if he glowed right before my eyes. He was dressed in green and browns, there was something about him that told me that he was not human.
"My name is Melody Waters. I really don't know where I am at the moment...I didn't even know Florida had woods."I tried to sound as unaffected by the fact that I was lost as much as possible, but I think they saw right through my act.
"Florida? Why you must be confused! This is Mirkwood, right Tin?"The other creature beside him nodded to prove the others point. They were very similar only their eyes gave them away. Tin had gray eyes, while the other had bright blue ones.
Something in my mind clicked, I can't explain what."Mirkwood?"I let out a weak laugh "This is a cruel joke, see there is no Mirkwood.I believe you are wrong..um may I know your name?"
"Oh why of course, it's Tudur."Tudur replied with a gentle smile.
"Well, Tudur I think you have things mixed up between reality and fantasy."This was my logical side, the one that had a reason for everything.
"We will see, now I must take you to meet the king Melody."There was a sparkle in his eyes like he knew something I didn't.
"I can't really get up, my body aches."I made an attempt to stand only to find myself back on the ground.
Tudur smiled and with a wave of his arm everything around me disappeared. All I heard was his voicefilled with laughter when he replied," Why walk when there is magic?"
