THE PORTAL, by Fran Cáceres

Part II

After some minutes he appeared next to the little river. He couldn't imagine how that happened, it was very strange. He wondered if the demons were still there...anyway he wanted to get back to the other place so he entered the little river once again, one more time, he heard the thunderous noise...

He was next to the lake again but now he noticed that it had turned into a pond and the pond's water was red, he also realized taht it was very very cold. He didn't want to get back to the forest, so he started looking for shelter. Suddenly, he heard a scream, it was a woman's scream. He felt really scared but he ran to the place where the scream came from. He saw a woman. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was medium-height and thin. She had long wavy, brown hair and pair of blue heavenly eyes. He got closer to her and asked:

'Who are you?', what are you doing here?', she didn't answer. He waited for some minutes and he insisted:' I need you to tell me waht happened in order to help you. I heard your scream'. Again there was no answer but she turned her head and looked at him. Two minutes passed but they seemed like an hour to him. Finally she said: 'Hi, my name's Julie. I don't know how I came here, but I' m scared and I want to go back home. What' s your name?' She talked really slowly, apparently because of her fear. 'Luke, my name's Luke. I don't know this place either. We should stay together and look for somewhere to sleep. It's getting dark'.

Part 1

It was very very dark and all kinds of strange sounds came from the forest. He was really scared but he had to go across it to save his life... He heard footsteps very near. He started running, the footsteps were getting nearer so he started crossing the forest. It was getting thicker as he was getting deeper into the shadows. In the distance, far away, he saw a little river. He thought that those beasts were going to die if he crossed it, he would finally get safe. He was running faster but they were still getting nearer. He was crossing the little river and when he was about to get to the other side, he heard a thunderous noise.

It stopped and he stopped. It was very quiet then. He thought that they were no longer following him. He waited for some minutes and started walking again...

He walked all night until he finally fell down because he was exhausted.

He opened his eyes. He realized he was in a beautiful field with lots of flowers and trees. It was quite hot but something in the air made him feel sad. He remembered the previous night, the faces of those wolves, thirsty for blood, he also remembered the noise, it was like an explosion but he didn't know where it came from. But what he knew was that it had saved him and now he would have to find out where he was and how he had got to this place....Maybe he had never been in the forest or maybe somebody saved him and took him there.

He stayed there, thinking and thinking, until he decided to get up. He was cold, he saw a beautiful lake, he went there. The water in that lake was black. He was very thirsty so he drank, but he stopped. The water had a terrible taste... Suddenly, he felt a hand pulling him into the water, he fell into it and heard a noise again. It was very similar to the one he had heard the previous night.

To be continued...

Arthur's dream

Arthur was sound asleep by the murmuring stream. He had had a long and tiring day. The sun was shining on his reddish face. He was having a perfect dream. There was no time or space to worry about just being there by the murmuring stream after a long tiring day with the sun shining on his reddish face. Merlin was a few steps away guarding his rest. Merlin who knew all charms and truths and had the secret of eternity.
