I didn't feel good in that morning by the dream I had in last night. I hope I could recover the happiness I lose with the beautiful sight of this forest. However, in that day, even the weather was really cloudy. It gave a little bit of anxiety to my mind. I predicted "Oh, see this sky. Something bad will happen today". My prediction was correct. The clouds started pouring rain on the forest, and also on me. I had waterproof cloth that could protect my body from rain, but it was still really uncomfortable. The rain also made a mist, which made me blind while I'm riding the horse.
"God." I rattled. "It would be the first time in my life that I'm praying to the god to stop this rain."
The mist covered my eyes even after the rain stopped. It surrounded me, and trapped me I there. The map was useless when I don't know the location I was in. I felt scared. It was not a journey I wanted. What I wanted was a peaceful trip without any danger or fighting. The thousands of thoughts appeared in my brain, and the fear started covering my mind like shadows in sunset. I only could keep walking, because I thought at least it was better than standing still and doing nothing.
I didn't know where I was, so I just kept riding on my horse. Because of the fear of wild animals, I couldn't stop riding even when the night came to this world. The riding in the night was completely different with the daytime. The whole world was dark, and I felt as I was in the stomach of a huge monster. Every small sound in my surroundings made me jump on the horse, and take out my knife with trebling hands. Even the horse got afraid by those sounds in this place of darkness. It would be the first time I truly regretted this adventure.
When the mist went away, it was still night, and I was really sleepy by the nonstop riding on the horse. However, the ground was really wet, and I couldn't take a nap on there. At last, to take a peaceful nap, I carefully went up to the tree, and tried to sleep on the branch. It was be the worst place in the place that I slept before. However, that crazy dream again came on my mind. This time, I was in a cave, and there was a bridge above the deep, dark gorge.
I saw an old man was fighting against a huge monster. The monster was really fearful, that no word was suitable to describe that monster's appearance. It was burning, smoldering and releasing the aura of death and destruction to everywhere. I didn't know that there was the creature even scarier than the monsters I saw in last dream. In front of that monster, there was an old guy fighting with that. He was Gandalf! Why he is in my dream, and fighting with that gigantic monster? When I was thinking like that, I finally could wake up from that freaking dream. After I opened my eyes, I noticed a huge thing in front of me and my horse. After some seconds, I discovered that those things were the mountains.
The mountains were gigantic. They were really high, and I never saw the one higher than that. The top of the mountain was covered by mist, and it let me remember something that I feared the most in this adventure. It was the Misty Mountains! The place where dwarves fought with the Orks, and the place where Bilbo met Gollum! I soon got in panic. The fear of the deep cave and the cruel Orks filled my mind. And that was the second moment I regretted to start this adventure. The first thing appeared in my mind is to go back to Shire, but soon I wiped that out from my mind. It will give too much risk if I try to go back to my home when I am located in an unknown place. After a long time of self-debating, I finally decided to go alongside the Misty Mountains. I thought that as I have map and compass, it would be easy to find the road to go back home. The Misty Mountain range will be a good navigation for me, so I moved on my way, with the hope that I can go back to my home again.
Soon I was alongside with Misty Mountains. I needed to be hurry, because the rations didn't left very much. I felt really different with the time I was going in the right. I didn't know what could happen in my future, and it gave me an endless fear. I needed to be alert to everything surround me, and my hand was always holding the knife. A small sound or movement let me get astonished, and unconsciously hold up my knife in the air. My face was no longer smiling, and filled with anxiety and fear. In another meaning, it could be a real adventure, which filled with many unexpected incidents and dangers. However, I was not a warrior, or professional adventurer. I was just a hobbit, who didn't know or want a real adventure. What I could do was just riding on my horse, and grasping my knife to protect myself from sudden attack.
The cold air surrounded me, and poked my body like needles. The mountainside was really rocky, and the horse quickly got tired some hours after walking. I felt sorry to the horse, but I couldn't make him to stop. This place was full of danger, and the first thing I needed to do was finding the safe place. However, the time of the one day is always same. I don't know it's because of my fear or the effect of geography, the night came quicker than I thought. There was one good thing happened. In that night, I didn't have the dream which let me feel dizzy. However, I woke up in the midnight. When I open my eyes, I saw the dark sky, and glittering stars located on the sky. In the center of the sky, there was a huge moon. However, I didn't wake up by the moonlight. The source of the light woke me up was another blue light came from my sword. It was shining brightly.
"Hell." I said. "Why I started this crazy journey?"
