The Summoning (part three)

Awaking again for what is it, I can’t remember, but probably the third time in this strange place, the last images of my conscious perspective self that I remember where going to the creek to say my morning blessings for the village, when this behemoth surprises me from behind, and takes me from my home, when I awoke the first time, I recalled voices in a strange tone, speaking to one another over top of my bound body.  I did not recall how I had lost consciousness, any of the times that I left my realm of existence, but I do recall the second time I awoke, it was to see a man in darken robes chanting in front of my bound body, the second time I was able to recognize that I was bound up in some sort of odd room or chamber, but it was made of some cold and weird wood that I had never seen before oddly the color of shinny stone, but somehow duller in color, weird, and when I awoke this time, I was no longer bound, I moved my hands around to my face to see their darken tint and supple color that shows that I had not been neglected, and I still am healthy, odd…I don’t feel any pain of any sort, I would have thought they would have begun torturing me already or beating me, but I can’t find a single bruise upon my  body, not even one from my bonds.1

Walking around the oddly shaped room, made into a simple circular dome, and plain silvery floor, I notice that the place is absent of all or anything, and light seems to come from the direct center of the ceiling oddly in some mysterious way, trying to puzzle this mystery out, I try to summon my power for a blessing from brother wind to help me float up to the odd source of light, but I can’t seem to reach him…now it is odd, I can’t remember a single time in my life when I couldn’t reach any of the elements, they have always been present, and this confuses me more, so I probe more and more, summoning all the elements I can remember, even ones from other realms, and I oddly enough can’t call any of them, this mystery plagues me worse, and I sit down and begin to meditate, crossing my legs and wondering what could have caused this…2

What mustove been maybe hours later, time seems to just ease by when you don’t think of it, I feel the presence of another interrupting my meditation, slowly I open my eyes, and size the being from the ground up…he wears nothing special, and is of average height, around 5’8’’, and he is wearing dark gray robes, that fit snugly to his shoulders which are quite broad.  His face is fair, and his ears are simple, neither big nor small, quite just right, his high cheeks befit his slightly round eyes which are a deep and respectable blue, his dark brown short and trim, his cowl pulled down around his pure neck to show his face, and his hands folded at his waist a sign of respect as he waits patiently for me to speak first…3

Gently bowing my head slightly showing respect for my enemy for their ability to capture me, and I call for inner strength to be cautious and kind in the face of my enemy.  Finally taking the first step realizing that it is upon me to speak, I speak first:  “Why?”  oddly enough he seems to understand me, and nods his head, sitting down in front of me and assuming the same meditation position that I do, he folds his arms as I do, closing his eyes, I feel him enter my mind4

A feeling of compassion and a slight touch representing his intent is good and wishes no harm he speaks to my persona looking me deep in my eyes he speaks without moving.  “The taking of you from your life was dishonorable, and to this I speak for the clan, in our sorrow for taking you in such a way.”  With the speak of the coven, images of things to be and to come, of a group of men working to prevent this horrid thing from coming to be, an unknown bit of knowledge is passed between us, and he speaks again… “ Your presence is needed, for two reasons, one you might have noticed your nose power is strong, and the ring you carry from such holds power, the reason for such is it is a dragon tooth that has clung to your presence, it is an ancient dragon spirit that wishes to aid you, and we need his presence, second you might have noticed that your powers seem to swell beyond your mortal realm, we wish you to help our clan, and in return we wish to help you develop your skills in the astral realm, we feel you are quite powerful, but will never no your true potential if you grow naturally.”  At this, he gets up and leaves, his connection broke when he broke eye contact, simply leaving me to my thoughts, and my meditation, it is odd for now I am truly confused.  Darkness overcomes the scene as he once again closes his eyes, and goes back to his deep and thoughtful meditation.5
