Morning came oh so suddenly......
Ollie did not wake......
Nothing woke him......
Ollie seemed to not walk this world........
I opened my eyes.....the sun was bright, there were Butterflies......fluttering around above me......
Follow my journal as I awake every night in a beautiful reality deep within my own imagination.
I opened my eyes.....the sun was bright, there were Butterflies......fluttering around above me......
I had been walking just now through 2 fields and I had time to slow down and think for a minute "did I really want to find out about this island?" I thought to myself as I walked, I just looked up ever so slightly to sea a ship coming towards me on the horrizon.
I ran towards it, it was huge and silver and it had a warm glow coming from it and it was carved with lovely vines and trees, ((rustling noises!)) I looked up ever so fast I span around but nothing was there.
"You there!, Youngen!" I span around and saw a man, he was tall, thin and had very long light hair and lovely green eyes, "You are tresspassing on our land now human, leave!" I thought best not argue and turned to leave.
"We cannot allow this human to leave brother!" A smaller Elf jumped out from behind him with a longbow and fired....... my life slowed down.......way down.....
"Ollie.......Ollie???????" This strange voice rained down from above it was coming from every angle, the world had lost its color and everything was happening very slowly..... I looked up at the sky.... my life it was ending......
"AHHH, Where am I?" I thought to myself I opened my eyes and my tutor was just starring at me...."Oh no...." I thought not another dream!!!, He walked back over to the white board and said "Ok everyone see you tomorrow, Ollie & James don't be late!" I walked out of his class and out of college to catch the bus home, I have had enough of this day and need to get home and have some rest.
I was on my way back through the gate as the guard just nodded and allowed me in, I rushed down the main road and into the Blacksmith, he through down his hammer and said "So your back then?, I heard what you did out by the river.....those mercs had captured.....oh why am I telling you this? I bet you dont even care!" I looked at him confused and with a blanc expression "Mercs?, Captured?" I thought for a few moments.
I looked up at him and asked "please tell me, I care to know whats going on here!" he just looked at me with hatred "You're either one of them or one of us, Decide!!!" I turned and ran out of his workshop, everyone was starring at me and I dident know why!
I ran back through the main gate and up over the hill, I just kept going and going this had to end somewhere I mean it was like a nightmare, I soon lost track of where I was or where I was going and there was alot of confusion.
I stopped for afew minutes to gather my breath up, I looked all around me there was nothing.... well I had found the coast line not that it was very good I mean it dident help my situation much, Wait! just over there on the horrizon theres an island!
So Here I was in a brand new world with no money no where to sleep and not even a friend to talk to, I needed to find a way to earn some gold and a bed for the coming nights and have a good laugh and it was at that moment I realized "Every town has a Tavern, Booze, money, bed" it was allthough a miracle of some sort had happened to me so I decided to take a walk down the main road and see if I could find it.
"WA-HAHAHAAAA" "Oy! Barkeep another one NOW!" "Yes that sounded like the tavern" I can remember thinking to myself so I strolled in. Everyone stopped and turned, they just stared at me with no emotions then returned to what they were doing, "Oy, Yooo thar!" shouted the barkeep "What de ye want!?!?!?!" I told him a way to earn a few gold and a bed for the night, I got a bed for the night free of charge for 1 week on the condition I pay it all back when I earn the gold but the barkeep did say "oooh-nooooor, we don't have anything but have ye tried the bounty board over thar?" I looked over and saw about 3 pieces of paper and all of them titled "Elven troop must be killed BIG REWARD!" "Elves?" I can remember thinking but I dident take the job.
I decided it was time for a walk and abit of open air so I went back through the main gates and back over the hill where I first discovered Glaston, It was a great day the sun was shinning and there was not a cloud in the sky! "Help meh!" I suddenly heard it was coming from a small camp not to far down the path just by the river, so I went down to check it out. There were about 4 huge blokes all wearing black clothing and covered in Tattoo's, but there at the back was a small man and a woman they were covered in little bags, big bags and backbags locked in a cage?!?!?!. I snook down and walked around to the back of the cage, I asked the 2 "Whats going on here?" "Bandits!, Lad get us out of here!", the cage wasent locked just well guarded but I managed to sneek them out and around the back.
"Oooooh-May-Good lad!, Ye saved our lives!" Said the man with a gleem in his eye, "Please take this, its the least we can do for you!" The woman handed me a coin pouch "theres 100 Denars in there!" I felt so happy, I had saved the lives of 2 people and got 100 coins! "But best not tell the barkeep" I thought to myself and I ran back to the Smithy to buy my............
So there I was after having a run in with the Fae and almost a run in with an arrow I have now decided not to adventure to far without protection.
I walked for awhile down a grassy slope, I was still not quite sure where I was but I kept on walking, I thought to myself "there's got to be something somewhere, right?" but all I could see was hills all around me, I continued walking until I was about to reach the top of the hill infront of me and thats when I saw it, Walls! and a gatehouse.
I ran as fast as I could towards the gate and as I was approaching sudenly "cronk" a sword slammed into the front of my chest "And what can I do for you?" asked the sword bearer, it was the town guard I told him a little of what had happened and he examined my ears?!?!? I let him of course he had a sword and I had a stick i found on the floor which I still had to pick up without him noticing, "Oh ok sorry to bother you sir you may enter now!" So i nodded and went on in.
So here I was looking straight down the main road! it had market stalls in the middle and a bountiful of shops on both sides of the street and people! alot of people everywhere all doing their thing and living, I started to walk...."I need to find a smith" I kept thinking to myself, I thought I would never find one then there it was just by the sqaure at the end of the road.
"Smash! Bash! Crunch!" the forge was lit and glowing orange and there was a huge sweaty bloke with a huge hammer smitting a long thing piece of glowing metal, "What can I do for you!?!?!?!" he said as I approached, I told him what I needed and he told me what it would cost and pointed me to the door.
It became clear to me now, I needed to get a job here I needed to sort out my life here, all of this....... all of this was real.......this one was the
reality..............
I started to walk down the tor until I reached a wood so I decided to explore a little and see what else I could find. I began to hear voices as I got further in but I just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, it wouldent have been the first time that had happened.
"He enters our realms and walks across our land!" "Who is he? I am wandering..." The voices appeared to be getting louder and by the sound of them closer but I kept on walking, I mean there has got to be a logical explanation to all of this like why I came here "Wait!" There through the bushes I could hardly believe my eyes! Little winged people fluttering like Butterflies!
"He is here!" "what does he want? I be thinking!" They kept talking as if I was the oddity here I thought to myself there was no point in hiding in the bushes they had allready seen me and by the looks of things had known about me for quite awhile.
"Welcome to our land.....Mortal!" the small blue one greeted me, "Come I insist!" I guess so I followed. "We are the Fae people, we protect these lands from the people who seek to destroy it!" I could quite agree with them after what I have seen happen to the forrests where I come from.
"Wahhhhhhooooomm" An arrow just flew out of no where, I dident want to take the risk so I ran as far away from that wood as possible...........
So I awoke this morning and got prepared to go and chop some wood for my wood supply, I was just making myself presentable to the world and the others who live around me.....now lets see, I am Tall with Black hair and quite athletic body which is good for living around here and I have blue eyes and have been told I am quite generous and fair in my life well here I am making myself sound great and you just want to read my story about how I got here, ok then lets see.... where should I start??? Oh yes here looks good!
Our story starts in the modern world the year? 2011 I was diagnosed with some kind of epilepsy oh the name of it!?!?! I dont know! but I was told I had it and was stuck with it, so moving on every night when I go to bed and shut my eyes I awake in a magical world where everything is the oposite of what it is in the real world if indeed there is a real world? I am not so sure anymore.
Now the first time i awoke in this place I was laying up atop of a tour(a tour being a very big hill to you)I had no idea where I was or what had happened to me so I did some exploring and it turns out I was in the county of Summerland and I had awoken up on Avalon Isle, this was strange for me and I was quite scared nothing like this had ever happened to me before!
Welcome, Within this blog you will find my written journals from my adventures around Avalon Isle.
