Stepping through that gate was a...different experience. Yeah, lets go with that. "Wow, this place is...incredible." I said, my voice hushed in reverence. Green fields heavy with grain stalks, a shining sun. I relished in the feeling of the sun on my face. My horse shook her mane and whinnied with impatience.
"Why you always rushing me?" I asked "You got somewhere you need to be?" I joked, stroking her mane. I chuckled to myself at the thought. I clicked my teeth and gently tugged on the reins once more. "You wanted to move, lets go." I set off on the road, the ground crunching under my feel and that of my horses' hooves.
What really spoke to me though was how similar this was to the fairy-tales Matera used to tell me. Lands with castles, Lords and Ladies, dragons and magic. Always full of adventure and wonder. I grinned excitedly at the thought of an adventure. "I wonder if there will be anyone here..?" I left the thought hanging. Of course there would be someone here. It's the Omniverse. He's probably plucked a lot more people than me from their own worlds.
'Probably has to be someone around here who can tell me something about this place.' I thought, looking around, squinting to see if there was anyone around. For some reason, everything looked empty. "Huh. Whaddya think we should do?" I directed the question to my mount. She started grazing. I sighed, " Stand here for a while it is."
