Stepping into Another World and Meeting Advisor Almar
After selling of stocks and looknig at some potenial buys, Vincent preapared to head home. It was 12:00 AM and even though it was late their was still traffic. After waiting a while behiend line of cars Vicnet decided to take a detour down St. Paul's street. As he drove through the darkened street, he ntoiced an odd light comnig fro manhole. Curious he stopped his car and got out to take look. Thel ight shined a beautiful blue, which Vincent knew was unusual. As he stepped clsoer he noticed a strange ringing in his ear. Irritated he stepped way and preapred to get back in his car. But as he stood at his open door, he looked at the light and couldn't help but be overcome with curiosity. 'I'll just take one look and then I out of here' though Vincent.
As Vincent stepped closer to the manhole, that constant ringing returned. PRessing foward Vincet reached for the manhole and tried to open it. As hwe gripped it, he felt hsi hand begin to tingle (like when your hand falls asleep). Using his forearms Vincet lifted and the manhole came off. Vincent for moment looked perplexed. 'Manhole's arn't that easy to open' though Vincent. 'Something strange is going on'. As Vincent peered into the hole he saw a bright flashing light that nearly blinded him. Jozzled Vincent nearly fell into the hole. Bracing himself, Vincent slowly tried to climb out, when suddenly thel ight became intensfied and he felt hsi body being pulled in. Unable to fight it, Vincent fell into the hole.
Inside he found himself surrounded by blackness and white lights (stars). Looking around Vincent thought 'What is this, where am I?' Suddenly he noticed the white lights coming closer to him. Unti at last they latched onto his skin. Before he could escape hsi entire body was covered by the white lights and suddnely he felt his entire body change shape and go botling in speactic fashion. After so many twist and turns Vincet found himself laying on a grassing plain with server headach. As he opened hsi eyes he foudn a bunch critters (bunnies, squirrels, birds and etc) standing around him. Putt his hand on his head Vincent groaned. "Is he ok?" said one of critters. "He looks like he fell on his head" said a bunny. "Maybe he ment to do that" said another bunny. Vincet suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted "What the!". "Animals don't talk!". One of deers standing nearby replied "Of course we talk, we always have". Vincent backing away from the critters, finally noticed his hands.
His face looked horrified yet perplexed at the same time. As he touched his chest and fingered his hair he said "THis cannot be, this must be a dream!", Running off into antoher diretion Vincet found himself in a strange wood, where he stopped to rest. Sitting next to large oak, Vincent rubbed hsi face and said "Ok now wake up". "This is just crazy dream". As Vincent attempted to reasure himself this was just a dream, a strange noise filled the air. Stopping for moment Vincent looked around, his face looked disturbed, but inside he was curious. As he fallwoed the sound he noticed that it began to sound something like an elaphant. Finally he reached the source of the sound. laying before him was large Troll, who at the moment was asleep. Vincent taking a closer look, approched the Trolls face. After examining it up closely, Vincet decided to leave. But before he heard a loud cracklnig sound under hsi feet.
Looking downward Vincent noticed there were branchs and leave all over the path. 'Great, jsut great' thought Vincent as tried to avoid stepping on the branchs and leafs. After clearing most of branchs, Vincent took another step and failed ot see a hidden branchs lurking from under the dry leafs. The cracklnig sound echoed through the forest and reached the Troll's ears. The Troll's eye opened as he lifted his head and groaned. Then after clearing hsi eyes he saw Vincent on the trail. "Oh goody lunch!". The Troll raised to hsi feet and began slowly after Vincent. Trying not to panic Vincent bloted furthert into the wood. behiend him he coudl he loud clammer Troll behind him. Fro mthe vibrations Vincent knew the Troll was gaining on him. In effort to hide, Vincent ran over a old fallen down tree. Hiding behiend it, he watched as the Troll ran past. Suddenly he heard nothing and after few minutes of waitng he got up and procceded in theo ther direction.
"Fw.. that was close" said Vincet as he walked on the trail. Suddenly he felt the groudn beginng to vibrate again. 'Oh no' thought Vicent. Panicing Vicnet looked for a place to hide. But the only place he coudl find was behiend the tree he found the Troll sleeping under. As he stayed hidden he coudl hear the voice of the troll. "Stupid food, always runs awayz". Laying back down the troll huffed and drifted off into a sleep. After waiting al ittle longer, Vincent snuck around the troll and preapred to head i nthe other direction. But jsut as he too kantoher step he felt his back beung pulled on. "Got ya lunch.." Horrfied Vincet tried to break free. But it was no use, the Troll lifted him into the air and prepared to swallow. Vincent shouted "Nooo!". As the Troll owered Vicnet towards his mouth, a strange happening accured. The Troll fell right on it's back and Vincent went flying to the ground.
The Troll moaned as it flung into a tree and then to the ground. As Vincent turned and looked he saw a strange figure clothed in black holding his hand out. From his hand a strange green glow emitted that then surroudned the Troll. After another toss into a tree the strange figure liftedh is hands, lifting the troll and tossed it far into the sky. All that coudl be heard far away was a loud thump and snapping of branchs. THe dark figure turned towards Vincent and started walking towards him. Once at arms length, the dfark figure held out hsi hand. Vincent took it and the Dark Figure raised him up. "Welcome stranger, I am Almar Advisor to the King" said the dark Figure. Vincet a little fraxled asked "Where am I?". "You are in Andlasia" replied Almar. "Where is that?" asked Vincent. "Diffcult to explain, but if you come with me I shall answer all your questions" replied Almar. "Very well.." replied Vincent.
With a gesture of his hand Alamr lead Vincent to cabin. Inide Alamr lead him into a secret chamber where he told Vincent to stay. Sitting in a crude stone seat Vincent's mind began to wounder. 'Who is this man' he though. 'Why does he help me?' 'What does he want?' Lowering his claok Almar revealed his face. "I bet you are wondering why you are here" said Almar. Vincent with irritated look replied "Yeah, you could say I'm very curious". "It is I who have brought you here.." said Almar. Standing to his feet Vincent said "What!?" "You mean your the reason I'm here!" "Yes" replied Almar."Why? Why have you brought me to thsi place?" sked Vincent. "I have summoned you because I have an proposition for you" replied Almar. "What kind of propostion woudl that be?". -Continued with Almar's Plote
