Where am I?

Oh . . .

Yes, i forgot, it seems like I fell asleep.

Wait, this place, it's not the same, where am I?

Looking around I realized that I am in another hall, with stairs and all.

But this time I saw something shining in the distance.

Usually, there was supposed to be a thing in the middle, I suppose because it's the exact same round hall.

Well not exactly the same, this place was a mess, most stairs were destroyed, only ruins remained on the ground, many holes in the walls and, well, everywhere to be honest.

I slowly gulped out of anxiety and began walking really, really careful towards the shine.

It was on the opposite wall of me.

Coming closer to it I saw letters on a metal plate hooked on the wall.

I stretched out my right arm to wipe the dust from the plate and that was when i realised that I was holding the sword.

But, it was different, the sword was longer, it was still the pointy sword from before but it seemed longer to me.

Looking further down i realised that I was wrapped in rags, my whole body was like that.

Interesting . . .

Anyway.

I stretched out my left arm and i wiped the dust from the plate.

I began reading slowly

OBSTACLE 2

. . .

I immediately looked at the sword. Touching the blade i realised that there was a little crack in the middle of the sword.

Obstacle 2 . . .

That's the second bit of the sword.

It makes sense, but i did not fight here.

Wait . . .

When Shy came, she gave me the same rags that i am wearing now.

And she used to say that she passed through all obstacles.

And the world, she described her world as ''different from mine''.

Maybe she ment that her world was the opposite of mine, if that's the case.

Isn't this her world?

But . . .

Why . . .

Why am i here ?

Woah, what was that, who said that-

.

.

.

... Ouch, my head hurts.

My vision was blurry so i rubbed my eyes a bit.

After awhile, my vision adjusted, and what i saw was another hall, this time, it did not even look like one.

Absolute destruction, ruins everywhere you look, blood was spred on nearly every wall, and the smell was horrible.

But still no creature, or should i rather say giant.

Looking down, i saw that my whole body was in blood, the smell was coming from me, and the sword it was even longer now, the blade had it's third bit.

Is this . . .

I ran to the shiny plate that was on a huge boulder next to the stairs.

It was probably thrown by the creature.

I wiped the dust and . . .

Just what i thought, Obstacle 3.

Again with this voice ?

.

.

.

...The same thing this time it's the fourth one ...

Oh god . . .

What is this place.

The stench, the blood, the gore...

I could not handle that much...

So i threw up...

What is this, what happened here.

Why is there so much blood.

And i am covered in it too.

Trying to walk a bit i realised that my back hurt a lot.

trying to touch it there was a lot of blood.

Oh no, what did i do.

The pain was tremendous.

I had to sit down because it made me a bit dizzy, everything started to become white.

No, no it hurts . . .

I started crying.

The more i moved, the more it hurt.

I can't. Hold on ... I , i . . .

I collapsed on the floor.

.

.

.

...My consciousness slowly adapted to the situation, and i slowly started to get up on my feet.

I saw that there was no more blood on me, but i was really dirty.

And i was starting to get hungry and thirsty.

Luckily there was a lake right infront of me.

I began running towards it but the pain coming from my back was slowing me down alot.

When i finally reached the lake i started drinking like crazy.

When i finally satisfied my thirst i sat down and looked around.

It was the same forest, like i was back at the first obstacle again, where i fell asleep.

But no, it was not the first obstacle, there was no hall nearby.

The weather was so warm, the leaves were giving off such a calm noise.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

...: How was the water, child? Did you like it?

Ayshi: What ?

I immediately jumped up and looked behind me.

The voice sounded like an old male voice. But much, much more deeper.

It was a big humanoid looking thing.

Ayshi: The fifth obstacle.

I said silently.

...: I have been taking care of this water for a very, very long time. And a child just like you came by not so long ago. She looked, well, exactly the same. But, no, you are not her, are you ?

No, you are giving off a completely different feel from her. You are scared, perhaps, frightened from me?

I just stood on one place i could not even say a single word.

It was probably a 12 meters long thing with a voice so deep that the ground beneath my feet was shaking from every sound that he made.

With every word he said he was taking a small pause which gave off an even stranger experience.

Ayshi: Who are you ?

...: Ah, I forgot my manners, i apologise, my name is Velikan, nice to meet you, small child.

Ayshi: My name is-

Velikan: No need to introduce. I already know your name, Ayshi.

Ayshi: But how did you know ?

Velikan: This is but a fragment of what i know about this place. Come, let me tell you, well, about you.

I slowly began walking towards his legs, because i clearly could not see anything else, the trees were covering the rest of the body.

I heard crackings and at the next moment i heard a great stomp upon the earth.

Yes that's right, he sat down.

I probably had to run 500 meters or even more to get near his place. Where he sat.

Velikan: Oh, dont worry, I'll get you.

A huge hand came down to me from the trees.

Velikan: Come on, grab my finger.

I grabbed one of his fingers and he lifted me near his face.

It was just like a normal human's face.

With long white hair.

Big and long white beard.

Fuzzy and long eyebrows.

And he was actually wearing, a wooden armor of a sort.

Just a bunch of threes tied up into an armor.

Velikan: So, where should i start from. Ah, yes, the proffesor. It all started like this.
