Chapter 2 - Vision Bridge

As I head down a corridor beyond the doorway, I wonder what sights will be on the other side, after a few more steps, I see light ahead and rush to the opening, as I gaze out, I see more of the desert though it seems more like daytime as the sky is blue.. perhaps my sense of time is off and it was dawn not long ago mistaken for sunset twilight? I shake of the questions, figuring it's pointless to debate myself over it and continue observing the sights before me. What I see before me seems to be some pillars, from their shape, it looks like this was once a bridge leading from the sand below to a building ontop of a small cliff. Around the area I also see some odd shaped stone boxes and some weird cloth weeds? More and more this lands items seem so strange to me, the weeds look somewhat damaged and aged.

As I ponder about the weeds, some movement catches my eye. A person! perhaps this is the one im hoping to meet, I rush down the cliff the corridor building I exited from is and land safely in the sand. As I get closer I move more cautiously and get close enough to try and talk, but after a short time I realise this is not the one I'm looking for. I move passed the person, a bit grumpy from it not being the one, while the person follows after me. I try and move on ahead of them getting a bit irritable at being follower now, a bit rude perhaps but a habit of being a lone wanderer for so long tends to erode a persons manners, hopefully they wern't to upset by it..

I move about the desert before me, now having had a good look around its mostly a pit surrouded by cliff walls, about the size of two normal buildings in hight. Maybe this was a pond long ago, The aged weeds might have been some kind of cloth seaweed? Anyway I approach one of the boxes and the weeds, thinking about the cloth things from before I thought maybe some words or a shout of song might work on them also. I stand close to the aged weeds and let out a melodic shout and sure enough, it reacts, it seems to disappear and opened up the box, releasing many cloth creatures which fly towards the broken bridge and formed together to make a cloth bridge.

I gaze in astonishment as they all form together and opened up a path towards my way out, I rush over to the remaining boxes and set free the creatures to form the remaining bridge, picking up some curious runes along the way which seem to add on to my scarf, Hope it doesnt grow to long.. would be a real pain to drag behind me. After freeing the last of the cloth creatures, the broken bridge is now repaired, pretty handy little buggers, i start to walk on the cloth, hoping it can support my weight.

As I set one foot on it, the energy given by those cloth creatures fills me once more, it seems these cloths react to something made from the same material, I'm glad i brought this scarf with me on this journey even more now, though wish I knew who made it, even the one who gave it to me had no idea. I climb up to the very top of the bridge and notice a small pedistool before me and a locked door, I sit before it and take a small rest, before pressing on to what lies behind it. While I sit my mind goes a bit hazy and suddenly im not sitting on the stone bridge infront of the pedistool, I'm standing in a room of white light. Before me stands a person wearing similar clothes to my own, but they are white and have various gold trimmings on them.

As I wonder whats going on visions appear before me, the white robed one seems to be telling me something the drawings show the mountain with the light and someone in a red robe.. much like mine. I have a hard time trying to work out what is being told since no words are spoken, and my interpritation skills can be a bit hit and miss at times. Shortly after the vision vanishes and I'm back at the stone bridge, feeling confused about what happend but as I regain my senses I notice the door is now open, perhaps seeing the vision was nessassary before moving forward.

I decided to wait a bit longer at the top of the bridge hoping perhaps the person I wish to journey with will turn up sooner or later, after a long while another person does appear but takes no notice of me, oh well perhaps they are already ahead of me, only way to know is to keep moving forward and hope I find them. I stand up and walk through the open door, wondering what new sights I will see as I travel towards the light on the mountain top and perhaps find an answer to what the vision before was.
