I have just woken up from a startling dream. I walked a path of cobblestone, and on each side, a barren field devoid of life dragged on seemingly forever. I did not reconize this place. The sun has set but it more twillight than night itself, but not for long. It got darker and darker, till I could barely see my nose at the end of my face. I was getting uneasy and sweating. I put my shades on, and my world became purple. It made me calm to see purple for some reason. I saw a bright star and followed it. After what seemed like many hours, I had reached a field. There sat the party that had visited my village today. When I got closer, they seemed frozen in place, and did not respond to me. I reached a hand out, and when I touched the priest, I was engulfed in a shining light..Then, eyelids closed, I heard a booming voice. What it told me next was a blur. A pendant was put into my hand, and I clutched it tight, scared. Then, I woke up, breathing heavily. I tried to convince myself that it was only a dream, but in my hand was still the pendant. It was a shiny blue gem, with two white, feathery wings attached to either side. I believe the voice was God, from the events that took place yesterday and in my dream. I understand now, what I must do. I must do whatever means necessary to bring back order to this land of chaos of where I live. I plan to take my bag and pack it. As a 14 year old, I have the right to go off adventuring. Kids as young as 6 would sometimes go adventuring, from the stories I have heard. I will bring you, my journal. I will also carry food and a kitchen kinfe, for cooking purposes, and to fend off attackers. When I reach the training acadamy, that is 30 miles away, I will pass my course and then set off to be an acotyle. After all, if God gave me this pendant, then I should be an acotyle, then a priest, and finally a monk. I hope I find a Bible soon, for I can't take the ones in my village. I'm afraid I can only take one extra change of clothes, or my encumberence would be tooo high. I'm obviously bringing my shades. Afterall, I'd be a shivering maniac filled with fear, and be being paranoid without them. It did happen before I was given my shades once..but I don't like to think of that incident. And now I must wait till my parents wake up. I woke up two hours earlier than normal, at 4AM. I shall prepare breakfast while I wait. Pepco eggs, milk, and fruits sound like a good meal, ne?
