A Strange Place (II)

Reality seemed to twist and warp around her, time seemed to speed up and slow down all at once and a harmonious weightlessness seemed to fill her heart, she crawled onwards, the shimmery walls surrounding her, opening up before her with every step allowing her to continue onward, the luminous glow of the place stung her eyes, but she feared to close them incase the beautiful place vanished.

"Hello little one"
"Hello little one" came the echo. Lyvinnia looked around her, trying to seek out the person who spoke to her, but could see no one.
"Don't fear little one, you are welcome here"
"Welcome here"
"Who are you?" Lyvinnia asked in her thoughts, as she could not yet speak them aloud "Where are you?"
"Ah the little one has no voice"
"no voice"
"We are the guardians of the lifestream, little one"
"Guardians, little one"
Lyvinnia smiled, her little eyes shining as blue as the walls around her. " I like it here, its nice"
"We're glad little one, but its time to go"
"Time to go"
"I don't want to go! I want to stay here!" Lyvinnia's thoughts cried out pleadingly.
"We'll see you again little one, You've found your way now, You'll do it again."
The air shimmered and the walls began to blacken, the luminous essence of the life stream began to resemble rock, the light became almost pitch, when Lyvinnia opened her eyes she was looking up at  Maya Do'Urden, Her mother.

A Strange Place

The air was stagnant, stifling, drops of condensation began to form, beading like small drops of rain. Lyvinnia was hot, tired, her muscles ached from the past three days of relentless abuse she had recieved from her mother when the door unlocked and swang ajar, Lyvinnia had been granted her five hours of freedom.

Crawling to the now open door, Lyvinnia peeked out of the small gap and as expected, unless she was there to torture the small girl, Her mother was nowhere in sight.

Crawling out into the large room and across the floor Lyvinnia looked for the magical gate that her mother would sometimes leave for her so she could get to the temple. There would be no visit with the healer today. Crawling over to the large fire place, Lyvinnia sat on the ostentacious carpet, content simply to enjoy her time out of the cupboard.

Closing her eyes she laid back, taking the room in, its assortment of  shapes, colours and sounds, as would any six week old baby, When the  walls in the room began to flicker an irridescent blue. Lyvinnia was in  awe, the colours swirled and came together in a variation of different  hues and shades,  melting in to one another, she seemed drawn to it yet  feared to explore it, she had never seen anything so wonderful, felt  anything so calm, yet melovent, was she dreaming?

The specticle was more then her curiosity could withstand and before she knew it the small girl was crawling toward the tear in the fabric that  seemed to form into creation the closer she got to it, within moments,  Lyvinnia had entered a whole new realm.
