211 picture a light blue nothing... well, anyway, that's where I found
|
||
212 my self. Smack dab in the middle of light blue nothing.
|
||
213 Now pull your self together Trevor, I tell my self.
|
||
214 just because the whole world is a light blue and there isn't anything to see
|
||
215 but blue. No shadows or anything. It isn't like the end of the world..
|
||
216 Well, maybe a little...
|
||
217 So I started looking around for something, anything, anything at all...
|
||
218 After some time, hard to tell how long, I found something.
|
||
219 of all things, a light switch? okay, here goes everything.
|
||
220 'click'
|
||
221 and the world was sort of there. I was in a room of some large size with
|
||
222 at least one wall nearbye and light coming from somewhere above.
|
||
223 So, I set out along the wall to see if I could find a door.
|
||
224
|
||
225 And after what had to be a mile of wall I found a 'door'. At least that'S
|
||
226 what I called it. A large triangle of metal set into the wall.
|
||
227 I tried to find some sort of latch or handle or ..... anything to open the
|
||
228 door with. Okay, I told myself, It's a door, so how do doors open.
|
||
229 Ever felt like an idiot because you left your head on the night stand?
|
||
230 I did right then.
|
||
231 The door pushed open and I looked out on a grassy field with animals and
|
||
232 birds and everything a spring day should have.

271 with the air of one who knew that werever he was the world would be alive and

272 wonderfull.
|
||
273
|
||
274 But now, he wonders what has happened. His friends no longer come and he has
|
||
275 seen only shadows for the longest time. Occasionally he thinks he hears the
|

276 voices of men and women from the past who have told many great tales. But
|
||
277 then as he listens closer they fade away and are gone.

|

574
|

575 The beuty of the sunrise was nothing compared to the beuty of the lake. It
|
||
576 radiated a magic that only the most cynical could miss. There was about
|
||
577 it a very deep green grass that no doubt contained rabits and gofers and
|
||
578 other furry creatures of the ground.
|
||
579
|

580 The surface rippled in a slow and gentle motion, causing the water flowers
|
||
581 to gengtly wave back and forth. A fish jumped and a unlucky insect became
|
||
582 dinner.
|
||
583
|
||
584 The soft glow at night was strange but not frightening and in the light of
|
||
585 day manifested itself as a silvery sheen that made the water seem clearer
|
||
586 then even the clearest glass.
|
||
587
|
||
588 On the western side of the field that surronded the lake was a large Inn.
|

589 Beside the Inn was a large old tree that seemed to speak out stories with

||
590 its branches.
|
||
591
|
||

602 The woodwork was not all that outstanding, but it had a gritiness to it that

604 in the air. It floated for a moment and then was gone, into the mist that

610 I continue to sit at the corner table, the sound of guitars and even lutes
|
||
611 play in the air.
|
||
612
|
||
613 The link crackles by my ear and I feel the pull that will means I must
|
||
614 return.
|
||
615
|
||
616 A pull and I am back in my seat. I pull out the plug and look bleary eyed at
|
||
617 the dump that is my home in the normal world. The door buzzer continus to
|
||
618 attack me and I am forced to rise. I look at the viewer and see a face.
|
||
619
|
||
620 "Hey man, it's bleary. Let me in, I think theres a cp after me!"
|
||
621
|
||
622 I press the buttons and let the fool in. "You A**h*ole, I told you this
|
||
623 would happen." I tell him as I secure the door.
|
||
624
|
||
625 "Yeah well these things just happen somtimes." was all he could say.

632 #########################################################################
|
||
633 Hum a tune. Repeat it. Do this until boredom rears its ugly
|
||
634 head, but do not relent; continue for eight hours a day, not stopping
|
||
635 during meals, either. Pretty soon you're humming it whether you want to
|
||
636 or not. That's what they wanted, of course.
|
||
637 My first month of training in Magick passed like this; a different
|
||
638 tune every day, the first thirty Basic Spells. Nothing else is taught for
|
||
639 the first month- there is a lot of silly worrying about uncontrolled Power.
|
||
640 On the first day of the second month, all of the new 'prentices
|
||
641 were allowed to pick a musical instrument, a focusing device for conjuring.
|
||
642 It is a weighy problem- you want something small and easy to carry, but if
|
||
643 you already have a talent for an instrument, you should choose that. Our
|
||
644 choices weren't limited to the instruments of our dimension, fortunately;
|
||
645 but familiar ones such as the harp and the lute had the advantage of being
|
||
646 less intimidating. My choice was already made, weeks ago. The pan flute.
|
||
647 Not of my dimension, but it had a haunting quality that touched me deeply.
|
||
648 Not to mention the coincedence of names.
|
||
649 After the choosing, my friend Merryl proudly displayed his choice.
|
||
650 "It's a Har-mohn-ik-ah," said he. It certainly was small, and the
|
||
651 noise it produced resembled a tortured version of the intense humming of
|
||
652 last month.
|
||
653 "What have you chosen, Pan?"
|
||
654 "A flute of another world." I let him read the label.
|
||
655 "Pan's flute, indeed!" He laughed. "An omen of some sort, I am
|
||
656 certain. How is your skill with it?"
|
||
657 I showed him. I surprised myself, actually; the flute seemed made
|
||
658 for me. A few dozen notes clove the air and I felt, for the first time
|
||
659 since I went into training, the internal SNAP of my Power coming to life.
|
||
660 The dormitory Merryl and I stood in grew indistinct. I was a minstrel
|
||
661 before a mage "discovered" my talent and brought me to Dunbarrah for
|
||
662 training- and this showed. I continued with my improvised song, enthralled
|
||
663 with my sudden proficency.
|
||
664 "Pan!" Merryl sounded panicked.
|
||
665 I looked up. The dormitory wasn't visible; Merryl and I were alone
|
||
666 in a milky haze. Shocked, I stopped playing. The world snapped back into
|
||
667 view.
|
||
668 Merryl and I stood between spires of stone and glass, on a street of
|
||
669 brick. A thunder assaulted my ears. I spun to face a demon mounted on wheels,
|
||
670 spraying saliva and chewing upon the bricks, about to make a meal of us...

|
||
727 Here's the first part of my next story. I'm going to try the upload route.
|
||
728
|
||
729 Patrick looked out of his window at the backyard. It was not large in
|
||
730 reallity, but it held an imaginary world that was far larger then any phsical
|
||
731 boundry. It was squere and aproximetly fourty by twenty feet with the long
|
||
732 side towards the house.
|
||
733 In the far right hand corner was a small fountain. It trickled water
|
||
734 and was along its sides over grown with algy. In the far left hand corner
|
||
735 was a dog house. It had belonged to Cymry, a large german shepherd. Cymry
|
||
736 had dissapered just before Patrics 16th birthday a year earlier. It had
|
||
737 been nearly a year before that that his parents had dissapered.
|
||
738 Somthing bad always seemed to happen around his birthday. In the
|
||
739 center of the yard was a small cherry tree. It was surronded by a raised
|
||
740 patio on which several pieces of randomly placed lawn furniture lived.
|
||
741 The rest of the yard with the exception of the back deck and the path
|
||
742 to the cetral patio was thick green grass. That was the reallity.
|
||
743 In his mind Patrick saw the fountain as a beutifull waterfall, at the
|
||
744 base of which lived a group of the wee folk. Even now he imagined he saw them
|
||
745 darting about playfully.
|
||
746 The Tree was in fact a Treant. Who, would occasionally tell him long
|
||
747 meandering stories about the Earth.
|
||
748 The Dog House was a large friendly building from which he would
|
||
749 hear strange a beutifull music.
|
||
750 He sighed and turned from the window.
|
||
751 is Grandmother had come to live with him After his parents had dissapered.
|
||
752 Things had been ok since then but he wished he knew were they were. Grandma
|
||
753 had told him once that they were probably dead.
|
||
754 He wasn't sure wether he believed that or not. Growing restless he
|
||
755 went to his desk and opened a drawer at random. There sat the disk with his
|
||
756 history report. What was that in the corner? Oh great! he thought pulling
|
||
757 out the small green orb his uncle had given him for christmas.
|
||
758 "Well, atleast I have the hardcopy!" He thought as he eyed the orb. It
|
||
759 had arrived in the mail just a few days before the previose christmas with
|
||
760 a note from his uncle saying it was a focus or somthing like that. He'd never
|
||
761 met his Uncle so the gift was a suprise.
|
||
762 So far the only thing he had found it usefull for was erasing floppy
|
||
763 disks and warping the picture on the tv. "I think I'd better find some
|
||
764 place safe to put this thing." He said.
|
||
765 He walked over to his closet and pulled on his jaket and took out his
|
||
766 mini backpack, placing the orb inside it. It was a saterday and he had
|
||
767 finished his homework the night before.
|
||
768 "It's about time I checked out that strange building." He thought walking
|
||
769 from his bedroom, through the hallway into the livingroom and from there
|
||
770 into the kitchen. He opened the cupboard and pulled out some peanut butter,
|
||
771 bread and jam. The making of the two sandwhiches was a sort of ritual. Never
|
||
772 go on an expadition without suplies.
|
||
773 Next he went to the fridge and pulled out a can of pepsi and two
|
||
774 oranges. Looking around the cool interior he spoted some muffins and took
|
||
775 two of them out as well. He wrapped everything up and inserted the items
|
||
776 one by one into his backpack.
|
||
777 Outside the glass door to his left was the pourch and the gateway to
|
||
778 the other places.
|
||
779 He shouldered his pack and walked the few steps neccesary and opened
|
||
780 the door. Steping outside he looked around. The yard was empty but bright
|
||
781 with the light of early morning. The air was chill with the last tendrills
|
||
782 of winter were in the air.
|
||
783 He walked over to the raised bridge that was the path to the treant
|
||
784 and crossed.
|
||
785 As he approached the tree it began to move slowly as if coming out
|
||
786 of a deep sleep. "Treant, do you wish to speak to me?" He asked walking up
|
||
787 to it.
|
||
788 "YYYYEEEESSS, YYYOOOUUU AARRE GOINg on a long journey." It said
|
||
789 coming slowly up to humen spead.
|
||
790 "No, a short one, I'd imagine that I'll be back by this afternoon."
|
||
791 "Perhaps, but my roots tell me otherwise. The soil does not lie
|
||
792 young one."
|
||
793 Patric looked disturbed. "How long a trip?"
|
||
794 "Oh, that is hard to say. Time is so different for the two of us. I
|
||
795 think that anytime is a long time for you."
|
||
796 Patrick sighed in relief. "That is so I suppose. I'll see you before the
|
||
797 next setting of the sun."
|
||
798 "Wait humen, I wish to give you a gift." This was followed by a crack
|
||
799 as a strangly straight and narrow stick about 6 feet long fell from above.
|
||
800 "What is this for?" Patric asked.
|
||
801 "YOUURRR TTTTRRRRRIIIIIPPPPP" Was all the tree said before subsiding.
|
||
802 Patrick shrugged and picked up the stick, grasping it tightly in his
|
||
803 right hand.

810 very well. It's okay that you went on to another story, if you didn't like

811 the other one too much then it would be better to move on because when

812 you don't like what you are writing it usually will turn out bad <although

825 .
|
||
826 I moved in slowly on the synthetic reallity that was the net. Blearys
|
||
827 problem ran through my mi~d. Being tagged by the cp's was no laughing
|
||
828 mater. I'd almost been caught and tagged a time or two myself. Taging
|
||
829 is not real high on my list of things to experience. In fact it's right
|
||
830 after castration.
|
||
831
|
||
832 I decided I'd betteb0chesk things out to see just how bad they were.
|
||
833
|
||
834 I started to skate over the icy blue surface of the net. Enjoying the
|
||
835 feel of the Electrons as they speed by beneth my feet. In the distance
|
||
836 I could see several towers. One of them was0dhe0Central data-base. I
|
||
837 prepared myself for the coming assault.
|
||
838
|
||
839 My first action was to activate my personaly written code generator.
|
||
840 "What you want Kit?" It asked me as it came on line.
|
||
841
|
||
842 "We're going to be doing a littlu breaking of the central Data-Base
|
||
843 pal."
|
||
844
|
||
845 "Oh, that easy. You don't need me Kit."
|
||
846
|
||
847 "Sure I do. It's easy for a reason. We're going after the real stuff, not
|
||
848 the stuff they leave lying around on the surface."
|
||
849
|
||
850 "Oh,0deep probe. Why did you not say so in the first place? It will be fun!"
|
||
851
|
||
852 "Sure dude, just try to contain your enthusiasm and concentrate on the task
|
||
853 at hand."
|
||
854
|
||
855 "Sorry Kit."
|
||
856
|
||
857 "Oh hell, thats ok. Didn't mean to be so tough n you."
|
||
858
|
||
859 "It's Ok, I understand."
|
||
860
|
||
861 I went to sub surface travel and felt my body moving down a stream of
|
||
862 pulsing electrons. Now I was a Fish moving towards my destination.
|
||
863
|
||
864 I found a silent circuit and started to0gork on it.
|
||
865
|
||
866 "I want you to be ready to jump in Kit."
|
||
867
|
||
868 "Ok."
|
||
869
|
||
870 The reality reformed and I was in a room that was looked like somthing
|
||
871 out of one of those you see in movies about the 60's. There were
|
||
872 posters on the0gallc and all that stuff, as well as the faint smell
|
||
873 of drugs.
|
||
874
|
||
875 There was only one door out and I walked across and broke it down. Beyond
|
||
876 it was another room similer to the first. The only difference being the
|
||
877 large Cop with the ~ight Stick. I quickly activated my Mark five
|
||
878 fighter program and ducked to the side.
|
||
879
|
||
880 The two of them went at each other and locked in mortal combat. I found
|
||
881 it momentarily humerose to see a large hippy and a cop beating on each
|
||
(82 other. The fight was short and grusome for the guard program. I deactivated
|
||
883 the Mark five and continued on.

|
||
926 come back.
|
||
927 NOw, Inn keeper, a tankard of your finest ale!! There's tales to be told.
|
||
928 ...............>...
|
||
929 She dreamed often of a house. It was an old house, on a lonely country
|
||
930 road overlooking a small stream. Dogwood trees kept its porch in cool
|
||
931 shade, and magnolia twisted and twined its way up the colums. It was
|
||
932 a very empty house< bet she knew that there was one room that was lit
|
||
933 and warm, even in the dead of winter. When she awoke she would have the
|
||
934 odd sensation of having been watched, and her heart would be racing.
|
||
935 She dreamed this same dream every night for mnths, until it became
|
||
936 a part of the night, as expected as starlight and owl calls.
|
||
937 On a late spring day she rode out of town to visit her sister
|
||
938 who lived a few furlongs to the west. It was a perfect day, and
|
||
939 sparrows heralded0her destriers every move. She decided to take
|
||
940 the old rode, which she had never ridden before. It winded through
|
||
941 the woods, the ancient woods which ages before were ancient home to
|
||
942 Elves; their ancestrial wakening place. But that was on|i story to be
|
||
943 told after the days work had been finished, when the children were ready
|
||
944 for bed. just as her grandfather had done.
|
||
945 These woods were silent. There was no sound of bird or beast.
|
||
946 It was the silence of sleep, the slee`0of q new born babe, or an
|
||
947 elderof the village. It was silent so that one could hear the
|
||
948 trees grow. almost percieve their subterranean conversation.
|
||
949 For hours she wandered in eldrich daze. The setting sun reminded
|
||
950 her of her oriwina| plans, and she found the road once again.
|
||
951 It finally emerged form the forest, overlooking a small stream.
|
||
952 Looking up, the suns dying rays fell on an old country house, with
|
||
953 magnolia entwined around its colums and dogwood sading the porch.
|
||
954 She rode up to the steps, dismounted, and slowly, quiently, stepped
|
||
955 up the porch steps to the house of these long months dreams.
|
||
956 In Silence, heart full of fears, and of questions she stood. How
|
||
957 could it be? Dreams cannot stant in front of the waking dreamer.
|
||
958 This was the place of nighttime, of moonbeams and fireflies, not of
|
||
959 daylight hours. Such thoughts raced through her mind, and she did not
|
||
960 see the fron door open, and the old woman step through.
|
||
961 "Come yn, shild. Though you will not find a great hospitality.
|
||
962 These old rooms once were filled with laughter and noise. Now they
|
||
963 are silent. But you must know that."
|
||
964 "But Why? What is this place? And why is it now empty?"
|
||
965 The womans fqce wrew distant, as she recalled times gone by. "An inn,
|
||
966 my dear. This once was an inn. In acient times it was the first
|
||
967 neutral territory between Men and Elves. In more recent times, it
|
||
968 has been a comfortable place to stay on a journey, or just as an
|
||
969 adventure in itself."
|
||
970 "and what has happened? Why does it now stand empty??" She nearly
|
||
971 cried, needing, but not wanting to know the answer.
|
||
972 "It has become haunted."
|
||
973 "By......."
|
||
974 "By YOU......"
|
||
9750............................
|
||
976 and now you have had my meager offering. Another round, inn keeper!!
|
||
977 there will be much rejoicing this night!!!
