The Crystal Light and her Story
Quitely, you sit before the dragon. You look around you, looking up to the Crystal again. Beautifully the calm blue light shines upon you. You close your eyes, forgetting everything for a moment. Then, you feel a warmth growing inside you. It's feels powerful, mighty, and especially comfortable. Still with your eyes closed, you see things. Inside your head. Beautiful things. You see everything in the most beautiful colors you've ever seen. A blue horizon, just as blue as the light itself. Perfect green gras. Flowers as far as the eye can go. It's magically! Clouds crossing over the air, and each of it is different.
"I see you let yourselfs lift away by the Crystal." The voice feels like it's coming from the landscape. Of someone who is near. Then you realise it's Srylan. You open your eyes. Everything feels okay right now, you're at total rest and in peace. Then, something in your head iches you. The cave seems a little lower this time. It's when you look up, the ceiling is lowered. What? This can't be! You look down and... you're in the air. "What! No! I don't know how to fly!" Your concentration is broken and you begin to fall. "Oh no!" At least fiftheen meters you fall into the depth. You scream, hard. You're going to die if you fall this hard.
"Srylan! Help me! Help me!" you fall your death against. But before you reach the bottom, the enormous wing of Srylan stretches out, to break your fall. "Got you!" he sais. You fall nice and softly on the skinny wing. It is strong and still very flexibel. You lay there for a few seconds, breathing hard. Srylan brings his wing down so you can step of easily.
You're still in shock and you're having trouble to speak. "Wha-wha..." you gulp "What was that?" "That, my friend, is the power of the crystal. It's powers are enormous and even I am weak against it. You see, all lights and magic of the world can be found here. There are ten of those crystals, only kept in the caves of the dragons. Dragons protect them against thiefs. Especially thiefs like humans are. Look -" he points at the crystal with his long clawed indexfinger. "This crystal is in connection with the others. Together they form a powerful force. You humans call this life. We call it the center of the beginning." With your ears wide open you listen to what Srylan says. "But why did I see this... landscape before my eyes? Why was I floating in the air when I woke up?" you ask. "Well, like I said. The powers are strongly. They can touch the soul and the body of every living form. They manipulate the mind." "Yes, but why? Is there a reason?" "No... no real reason. The only thing is that when you see such things, it's just like dreaming. They have the powers of dreams inside it too. Everything can be made possible with this crystal." You don't know what to say. It's so clear. You know, these crystal can never be understood. But you understand what Srylan just told. "But keep in mind, actually these aren't crystals."
