Life As A God - 5 Chapter 5

After I awakened, I sensed a great deal of magic concentrated at one spot. Not knowing what was going on with my body today, I decided to trust my instincts and go toward that spot. The weird thing was that this place appeared to be under me.

As I concentrated, I felt a tremor on the ground and then nothing. An earthquake?, I thought, confused. Then, looking around, I realized that I was not in that office building anymore. Instead, there was a huge temple-like structure in front of me. It was breathtakingly beautiful; the stone walls were carved with intricate designs. The wooden door was as tall as two fully grown men.There was nothing around the temple. Just dirt and rocks as far as the eye could see.

Taking in the sight before me, I could tell that the magic I had sensed before was coming from the temple. Slowly, I came forward and opened the door. When my eyes adjusted to the light, I found my self in a dome-like structure. The walls were covered by paintings of beings. All of them were young, not looking a day older than 20. Some human, some that can only be heard of in fairy tales. In one picture, a handsome young man with red hair was riding on a unicorn; both did not seem to be fazed by the blazing fire surrounding them. In another, a teen with wolf ears and tail was holding a gem while being surrounded by wolfs.

In the middle of the chamber were huge pieces of crystal floating in the air. Inside each one was a person. Looking at them, I felt sad for some reason. Out of curiosity, I laid my hand upon the one nearest to me. Suddenly, a light shined from my hand and the cold crystal shattered into pieces. The girl inside looked at me for a second and then fell, unconscious into my arms. Not knowing what was going on with my life, I gently laid her on the floor and waited for her to wake up.
