You enter a room. It's unfamiliar to you, quite big and almost empty. The only thing that occurs there is an armchair in which someone is sitting. It's cold in the room, all windows are open. Through them you see a winter landscape: a forest covered with snow, a frozen lake, falling snow getting in the room along with wind.

The person sitting in the armchair intrigues you by sitting still and not even paying attention to your appearance. You start walking towards them, looking around the room. Two colors dominate here: pale blue and white. On the floor, that looks like made of ice or crystal, lies blue and white carpet leading to the armchair. Here and there you see big, partially covered with snow, crystals that look like they were growing out of the floor.

You walk up to the person in the armchair. It's a girl. She has her head down, long light blue hair partially covering her face, elf ears and she's dressed in a long white gown. She's not moving. You draw your hand out, brush her hair away and want to gently pull back her head. You can't do that, though. The elf is as stiff-necked as a sculpture and as cold as ice. You have to kneel down to look at her face. Her sad expression and red tears flowing down her cheeks take your breath away. The creature looks like she got badly hurt. You don't know the reason of her sadness, though. You can't also guess it...


You wake up in your own bed.It was only a dream.However,you can't forget the elf girl's sad face and bloody tears flowing down her cheeks.In your mind you have two questions...
"Why are you crying?Why are you so sad?"

It's an old story, written two years ago in November. As always, opinions and suggestions are more than welcome. heart

You, are a very percise writer. You describe things and make such a clear picture, one just feels the need to close our eyes.. and wait for the movie to play out.

"away and want to rear her head."

that was the only part that was even the least bit awkward for me. It made me think of pulling her head back with her hair, because you had brushed it aside.. then reading that. Im not sure if you could say it another way though maybe...

"You draw your hand out, brush her hair away and wanting to gentally pull back her head."

I dont know but that is all from me.

OH!
I loved the ending.

I like it, although it has a very "D&D" feeling to it.

"D&D"? You mean "Dungeons and Dragons"? sweatdrop

*laughs* Ah, well, I like fantasy RPGs, maybe that's why this story seems to have such feel to it.
