He was inside a crystal of colors, colors that spoke of emotions, some dark and some light. Red stands for anger, blue resembles his cool and there was a immense amount of depth to every color. He could see himself in every spectrum of colors, in his emotional state that which color stood for in it.
Then, everything changed. From the colors that revolved around him, Marol could see them changing. They changed to a certain color, brown.
Brown stands for…
Marol woke up abruptly. A certain time ago, he had been sure that he had stood in the exact spot. However, it was just a weak feeling that he had which was shook off instantly. He had more pressing matters at hand.
He looked up and saw towers. Floating towers, to be exact. Not that he had anything to be alarmed with, for he had seen sorcery, moments ago. What caught his attention was that the buildings, while still floating, was barely standing. Bits and chips were falling off them , littering the street with debris and dust.
He flexed his muscles and found them to be as sore as he thought. He picked himself up.
"Hello, anyone here?" He shouted. He suddenly remembered the wizard girl. What was her name again?
"Yurie! Where are you ? Where am I?"
"Tsk, tsk , tsk…for a man of your size, you might think that he has lesser questions!"
Marol was startled. He looked down and saw that Yurie was just besides her. She was just …well…short.
"Hey, you don't have to be so obvious towards my height, do you?" Yurie started to make faces at him.
" Anyways, lets start on our business on hand." This time, she stopped all her expressions and took on a serious tone. Too serious.
" Our base had tracked down you for a while now, however due to certain obstacles…, we were only able to make contact with you now. Lets get down to the point, shall we? We know that you don't remember anything except for the last 5 or odd years. We will help you regain your memory …in return, you will join us. Any questions, haha…?"
Marol could only comprehend so much that she said. He had so much questions to ask, so much to understand. Who was this base? Can she be trusted?
"Time is running short, So, yes or no? No time for questions, they are coming…"
There was only one visible path for him…" Yes" He replied hesitantly.
" Good, welcome to our family…I knew that you will join us in the end…haha!" Yurie was suddenly all smiles as she lead him towards one of the buildings.
Entering the massive building was a taunting task. Besides the danger of the building collapsing, there was also so much uncertainties…
His eyes took a while to adjust to the change in brightness as he gradually could see 3 hooded figures in the dim light. Wizards…
"Sit there, we will help you regain your memory." Their voices were commanding, and firm.
They pointed to a stone bench which Marol proceeded to sit on. What choice has he now?
They slowly approached, making a shuffling sound with their feet. They raised their hands and started to chant incantations which send shivers down Marol's spine.
When they released their stored power onto him, he could feel the power surging through him, throbbing his brain.
Suddenly, he knew what the colors all stood for , especially brown. Guilt.
