Awake

"WAKE!"

A voice boomed in my head.

I awoke in a dimly lit room, the smell of old brick and stagnant water in the air.

Only a source of light peering from a

small window high up on the wall.

I notice that I am lying on a

simple mattress on the floor, and

the walls are made of rough stone

The room is empty aside from a

wooden door with ornate carvings and a rusted iron lock. I vaguely remember how

I got here, a voice started to echo in my mind, " Ghov, you will save them." I decide to stand up and inspect

mattress. It's small and thin, but

sturdy enough to support my

weight. I dragged it over to the

window, and with a bit of effort

I manage to climb on top of it to

peer out. I see that I am in a large

castle, surrounded by high walls

and a moat. I see knights

patrolling the walls and a bustling

medieval village beyond the horizon. The

village is surrounded by fields and

forests. It's as if I am in the

middle of a medieval world, I've read about adventures of the old knights in books in masters study, it had to of worked!

Suddenly, a voice comes from

behind the door. "Hey, you, prisoner! Get away from the window!" I shouted through the

door, with confidence but a hint of

confusion, "What year is it?"

After a moment's pause, the

voice replies, "It is the year of our

Lord, 1332. But that's none of

your concern! Get away from the

window, or I'Il be forced to come in

there and handle you myself!" I carefully climb down from the window, making sure not to

injure myself. As I landed on the

ground, I mutter to myself,"So

it worked! I'm able to control the

flow of time?!" I call to the voice on the other side of the door with such certainty.

However, when I attempt to

order the man behind the door,

"Scvien, unlock the door. I have

work to attend to," the voice

responds, "Who is Scvien? You

must be confused. I am a guard of

this castle, and you are a prisoner.

I will not tolerate any further

disobedience. Stay away from the

window!" I could tell from his tone that he was serious and slightly confused about me attempting to call out a name.

I decided to test out my abilities. I concentrate for a moment,

focusing my energy on the door.

Suddenly, the wood begins to

decay and crumble apart. The

guard on the other side is startled

and steps back, but before he can

react further, I freeze him in

place with a gesture

As I stood there, I had a rush

of power, a new voice interrupts

your thoughts. From down the hall,

a man's voice booms, "Come now, let's not get too carried away."

I turned to see a figure standing

at the end of the hallway, dressed

in rich robes and surrounded by a

faint aura of blue light. His eyes

seem to glow with a similar color.

"What do you want?" I ask,

feeling a bit of trepidation

The man glides towards you with a

regal air. "I am Timoiud, the ruler of

this land and a powerful sorcerer.

You, my friend, have stumbled upon

something that is not meant for

your eyes. Come with me, and all

will be explained in due time."
