The Crystal, The Mirror, And Heart Chapter One Space Transition
When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.
Clifton Fadiman (1904 - )
Deep within the wilderness of the Americas wandered a strong-willed teen. Her dark brown hair reflected the dim twilight sun of dawn along the open prairie close to the forests edge. Her deep brown eyes were focused yet relaxed. Around her neck shown a strange pale tinted blue crystal giving an eerie and ghostly glow. A shadow was beginning to creep up behind her. It was inching closer to her silently and steadily with each passing breath with its greenish eyes glowing in the early morning gloom in the thick under brush.
The beast then leaped for the pounce! At that very moment the girl ducked out of the way, with the beast missing its target by a hair. She caught a glimpse clear as daylight of a slightly large cat like creature. The appearance of its green blue eyes showed a predatorily concentration as they locked on to her again. Its golden harvest yellow coat was now visible for the sun shown above the horizon.
Black rosettes and blotches broke up the front and mid section while the backside remained plain. The chest and under side were white and it wore a jade colored headdress with another pale blue crystal like the girl. Both of their bodies tensed as they began to circle each other waiting for an opening to attack. They both leapt towards each other, and the cat knocked her to the damp earth. They began to turn over slamming each other to the ground.
Although it seems unusual the teen grabbed the throat of her assailant with her jaws pinning it to the hard ground.
"Ha, ha, ha! I pined ya again Jager.", She chuckled out victoriously to the large feline, " Don't worry. You'll get me eventually. But it was a good try you almost had me."
She went to a near by tree and grabbed her little backpack along with her bow and quiver of arrows.
"Now why don't we search out something to eat now shall we?", the big cat licked her affectionately on her cheek as she was getting up. The two then entered the thickly vegetated forest.
An awkward silence hovered in the air as they went deeper in the forest. The thickly covered branches made it shady and dark with very little light penetrating the few and dismal gaps. But the teen didn't seem to mind because to her it was if the branches never blocked any of the light at all. She then began to feel perturbed unaware of the transition taking place. The girl knew that something wasn't right as she turned around scanning the perimeter around her. Jager was nowhere in sight. This seriously alarmed her.
She began to panic in fear of her missing friend. The worried teen broke into a run. She raced through the woods searching for losing all sense of where she was going. Her foot unknowingly triggered a trap and a noose caught her foot making her run into the ground slamming her face. Then suddenly lifting her up into a tree. She became dizzy from impact with the blood rushing to her head. Her vision became blurred and heavily disoriented. Her chest slowly struggled to rise as her heart pounded with the heavy breathing trying to get some air, and then finally blanked out.
Within her trancelike state she heard two voices, as she slowly regained some of her consciousness. " Let's get this thing in the cell before it wakes up." One of the people whispered to the other. The second looked up to the first and said, " Wow! I bet the freedom fighters are gonna want to see this overlander I thought that they died out except for that maniac Robotnik." The two Mobians soon left placing her taken belongings to another room.
The dark haired girl finally came to as the mid day sun shown her sandy colored skin through the tight window bars the rest was left in the gloom. As her eyes focused she realized that she was in a barred cell, which felt more like o small cage to her. A few feet away from her she noticed a small bowl filled with some sort of food.
She picked it up and sniffed at the contents. She thought to herself, 'At least my captors were kind enough to leave something to eat.' She let out a heavy sigh and began to slowly consume its contents and licked it clean. Exhaustion got the best of her and she fell asleep curled into a ball against a corner.
