I told this to Maat, but she just said that there was an exit at the end of the tunnel, the direction it takes doesnt really matter, i just nodded to her quietly, wishing to be as objective as her. Little by little we kept advancing, always carefully to not step on a bad place and trying to use as little magic as possible to keep the fireball alive, making it harder to advance because of the small light we received from it.

    I was getting more and more anxious and, as i could see, Maat too; she trembled from time to time and would answer harshly when trying to talk to her, the more we advanced the more clear it was for me; this wasnt a normal attitude and, whatever it was making us act this way, was just a few meters ahead of us... and i was right, the small tunnel suddenly widened into a fairly big room, nothing like the underground rooms i saw so far but really big considering the weight the floor could support. We looked at each other, doubting about entering the room or not, but it was our only choice so of course we had to enter it; luckily, the floor withstood our weight.

    At first glance, the room was rather normal, it wasnt a room properly said just an underground space bigger than the tunnels, with the floor sightly straight. There was something strange on the room, i dont even know how i didnt noticed at first glance, maybe the darkness from the tunnels numbed my eyes; A big pedestal was erected in the middle of the room, shining with a blackish light, coming from an egg-shaped stone placed on top of it... i think i saw this before, but dont remember it very well, probably in these pages i wrote something but... i guess it doesnt matter.

    The anxiety became stronger, almost unbereable, and now i could say clearly the egg stone was the culprit of it, how did i know? no idea. I started getting close to it, walking slowly like if i were facing a strong wind, and it almost looked like it, the flow of the magic coming from the egg was similar to that. When Maat noticed my actions, i was already next to the egg, with my hand raised and almost touching it. My memories are a little messy, everything went too fast, Maat came running to me shouting something and my hand started feeling hot, i felt something climbing my arm and then my feet hitting the air, looks like the floor collapsed and i was throw to the river... then i dont remember more.

May xx, 2011 (the xx means that he doesnt know when does it happen)

I cant see properly, my chest feel full, heavy, like if its about to crush my insides any moment; i can not breath, not even a little, it's an agonic sensation, and i can't do anything to stop it. Is this the end? everything that happened was for nothing? my conscience is fading away little by little, i cant even open my eyes or move any muscle in my body, but i still could feel: i can feel the pain, feel the wet ground below me, the light through my closed eyes, the distorted sounds around me, that were dissapearing with every second, seconds that were like hours to me. I felt a precense in the end, coming closer to me, was it enemy or ally? does it really matter if i know? i cant save myself if whatever came to me tried to kill me. i couldnt keep this anymore, my senses were dissapearing, leaving just a quiet and tacteless darkness.

sorry about the wait, my pc died T.T im kind of hurt nobody noticed xD

May 26th, 2011

    So light, my body feel so light, almost like floating in the air, maybe i really am floating because i cant see a thing; my eyes are tired, i want to rub them with my hands, but my body doesnt seem to obey me at the moment. I can't see, hear or move anyway, i wonder what happened. little by little, fragments of my memory start to appear, i remember the egg shaped stone and how the chamber collapsed and i fell to the underground river, but all of that seems so distant... like if it was all a dream. Maybe is a dream and i will just wake up in my usual bedroom, doing my usual things, is better than getting in danger every day... right?

    But again, when i opened my eyes, instead of the metallic ceilling i was expecting, i found myself under a wooden roof; im not back at home. Did i feel sorrow or relief? why cant i be sure? the light and color of my surroundings hurted my eyes for a while, i was probably "out" a few days, im starting to getting accostumed to this, collapsing and waking up on an unknown place, althought i dont want to...

    Once i finally could see clearly, i payed attention to everything around me: the furniture was quite simple, some of them was made of smoothly shaped wood but, unexpectedly, the ornaments were metallic. I mean unexpectedly because is the first time i see the use of metal in this world as decoration, normally its used to... well, to kill... and yet i cant blame anyone, after all i too did... i think is better to just forget it.

    After checking the surrounds in search of any danger (this world was turning me into a wary person) i started checking my body. some places hurted a little, and a few bruises were visible around my chest and legs; the worst were my arms, they had some bad looking wounds, but it seems they were treated and now appeared as almost invisible scars, the tattoo practically hide them. There was something on my hand, a small coined shape object was stuck to my right wrist, it looked harmless so i tried to just ignore it.

    When i tried to stand up, my whole body answered me with an awful pain, just raising my legs took me enough effort to make me sweat, i couldnt keep standing even if i tried, so i just resigned to sit on the bed, massaging my legs and healing them slowly with magic; im good at healing wounds and bruises, but this looks like atrophy and the elder never taught me how to deal with it, i tried using the fatigue killer (the one i use when im really tired) on the legs, but the pace was too slow. At least it was usefull to get my mind busy, i cant stand doing nothing.

I dont know how much time passed, minutes, maybe a few hours, and yet my legs werent ready to support me completely but even thought they felt a little better, not that painfull to move, so i continued with the improvised treatment. It was then when an unfamiliar voice surprise me from the side, while i was focused, someone entered the room and was observing me - thats an interesting skill you have there, not a lot of people can use magic without using the "words" - i remembered that the elder told me once that wizards need some kind of catalyst to use magic, so are "words" the general catalyst? im not sure if he told me about that... will have to ask him the next time.

    This guy continued watching me closely, it was kind of creepy but he didnt seem to care. His sight stopped suddenly when it reach my forehead - woah, that wasnt there before, is that your catalyst then? - he raised his arm and tried to touch it but i instinctively got away from him and almost attacked him with a wind wave, but i changed the direction at the last moment, piercing the wall just behind him. He then stepped back, trying to keep a friendly expression on his face - Ey, ey, keep it down, ok? i was just curious about it sorry if i scared you... oh, its closing now... doesnt it hurt when that face open on your face? looks a little disturbing... - His attitude calmed me down enough to lower, just a little, my guard. I just shaked my head right and left to his question, didnt have enough strenght to even talk, then i pointed my legs.

    Your legs? - he seemed stranged and then touched my left leg, looks like he has a bad habit of touching without permission... it hurted a little, but the he grabbed it and touched some different places, the pain grew bigger and my face was showing it clearly - i see... well is just normal, you been in bed for a few days so they are a bit atrophied, nothing that a healthy exercise cant heal, you were trying to heal this with magic? - i nodded quietly, making him laugh and rubbed my head strongly, just like if he was making fun of me... isnt he too friendly towards a stranger? I decided to just go along with his strange mood, didnt look dangerous to me.

    He helped me to stand up and made me walk out of the room, leting me leaning on his shoulder so i could walk without real problem. once we were outside, the surrounding was cover almost completely by trees and a not too wide river was just in front of the house, there was even a chair and a parasol just at the edge of the river, i guess it was use to fish, but why a parasol? - is not the best time for a walk in my opinion, but i will make a small sacrifice, try your best in exchange, gotcha? - his mood was just impossible to reject, i tried to smile, but i think it was a little ankward, still he seemed to understand it so he grabbed my arm over his shoulder firmly and started walking... in circles.

    When i say "in circles" i mean we were walking around a point in the ground, in that small portion of land between the house and the river; i was about to ask him why dont go inside the forest or walk along the edge of the river, but his face looked so enthusiastic... i would feel like making a child stop playing...

my voice was coming back gradually, but my throat felt really dry and my words were shorts and hoarses, i asked him for water and he exclaimed that he forgot something so essencial, he left me on the chair at the edge of the river and entered the house, bringing back a big jug and two glasses, offering one of them to me. The sound of the water falling into the glass was hypnotic, something that you will be able to feel when not able to drink in a long time. I didnt even give him enough time to fill the glass, i bringed it to my mouth in a hurry and almost choked with the water, still it felt so good to being able to drink fresh water again that i just forgot that the one offering me water was a complete stranger.

    Ey... - after drinking a few glasses of water, my voice recovered instantly - i guess i have to thank you for saving my life, or at least for treating me - i showed him the scars on my arms, showing my gratitude. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it was a doctor responsability. So he was a doctor after all, makes sense... at least enough sense ignoring his exentric behaviour. I told him that my name was yumeshi and relate my story, just the part from the elves village and my "mission" is not like i want to tell everyone im from another world, that i posses a forbidden magic and that an unknown organizations is looking for me, and not for something good... i guess my life is getting too complicated lately...

    Yumeshi... doesnt look like an elven name, well nevermind that, im just a plain human doctor, living alone in this lonely hut just a few hours away of the forest village, sometimes they come here for some treatment, elves and humans live there, even a few dwarves, is a strange village... oh yeah, almost forgot, my name is Fausto, nice to meet you.

    A village... i thought he was alone here but at least now i know of a good place to gather information; when i thought about that i noticed that i forgot something important, i spoke fast and bite my tongue in the hurry - Ah... ey Fausto, do you perhaps know if there was a girl with me when you found me? she has black hair, green eyes, the same height as me and probably wearing black robe and... well, a temper hard to deal with - the reason i add the last "characteristic" i still dont know. His face became sad saddenly, his eyes looking at the floor and not saying anything for a moment, the he started talking with a low tone - yeah... she was with you on the river, just a few seconds after you appeared flowing down stream she was following you but... - He stopped talking and then just offered his hand to me, so i could stand, i didnt understand at first so just followed him inside the house.

    We entered another room, even if the place looked small from outside, it was fairly spacious inside. Inside the room, Maat was lying down in a bed just like mine, they looked too basic, just like a clinic bed. She didnt react to the two of us entering the room and Fausto told me to not raise my voice. - Her case is really severed, i cant do anything with the resources i have right now - i couldnt believe what he was saying, was he implying that there was no way to save Maat? well she isnt the best friend out there, but she protected and helped me, i own her about two or three lifes... im sure she knows the exact amount. i insisted to Fausto, if there was something neccessary to do, i would gladly do it. - In fact... there is something that might heal her, the horn of a "Geotrupes stercorarius" but they are really dangerous... you wont be able to get one in your state and she will die in just a few hours... - after hearing that i couldnt stay there any longer, but just that is that geowhatever? maybe is some kind of wild rhinoceros, big like this hut. But just when i was about to leave the room limping a quiet laugh and a serious voice stopped me.

    Seriously Fausto, a horn from a dangerous creature? what do you think is this, some kind of lame hero story? - It unmistakable, that was Maat voice, what was going on you may ask? just that the damn wannabe doctor was making fun of me... sigh i remember that i was bright red after hearing their explanation: Maat was able to levitate in the last second and didnt fall onto the river, then she tried to follow me but the current was faster, so she just followed the river. It was after several hours without stop that she found this little hut and asked the doctor about me, i was still sleeping in the bed, so she just stayed there waiting for my recovery. And the little scene... it was Fausto's idea, Maat told me he was just trying to cheer me up, but i think he just wanted to do that joke from a long time... he really was enjoying it, and yet i cant get angry, i didnt get into this carefree mood in a while, maybe it was a good idea after all, but is still embarrasing...

    We expended the rest of the day continuing with the rehabilitation and talking about trivial things to kill the time, i must admit that i had a good time, after all those complicate things of fighting and running away, a rest was something i apreciated.
