The City of Dreams






















You are looking at an ordinary city surrounded by trees and some ponds. In the middle of this city there was a train station. On the outskirts toward the park sat a girl. This girl had long black hair with bangs that hung in her cat green eyes, she had a skinny body and in her ears were headphones that played music. It is not the music that one may think is different, but her ears… they are pointy… like an elf’s, except she is not short like one may think elves are.
Now before one should begin an angry mob after her, for how she is different from one’s perspective, let me explain myself about this odd world (I really want to put after ‘this odd world’… the twilight zone). Now listen because I will explain this once in the story (one can read it over and over all one must). There are different kinds of people in this world… elves, dwarfs, gnomes, giants, vampires, and almost anything else one can think of (I just might not put them in here… I apologize to the creative people who were hoping to see their creation in here).
This girl had a name that suited her well it was Kohina, she is a very kind girl around the age 400 out of 2000 so in human terms she is about 20. She is a sage of a major settlement called Witherten (not where we are currently in the story). Now this life is more lavish than a queen or a king but more unstable than a peasants… how is this possible some may ask, well let’s make a list of a sage’s life a royal family’s life and a townsmen’s life.

In every life there are good and bad moments, for this young girl life can be bad but hey, she didn’t ask for these paranormal powers. One may say she is a lucky gal but problems do come with these powers. She has a very fragile health, and can feel how others are feeling and hear their thoughts. Some may still say she is very lucky but knowing so much about others can be a bad thing at times but I’ve gone to deep into talking so let’s get into an adventure you will never forget.

“Good morning Kohina” an elderly dwarf said as he passed her on a dust path.
“Good morning to you too, Mr. Peterson” Kohina said waving her hand as they crossed paths. But in his head all he was thinking was “how would be the best way to get to Witherten. “Mr. Peterson, if you keep going for a bit, the first road to the left should take you where you please.”
In response he turned around and tipped his hat while saying “Thank you so much.”
Kohina walked on encountering many folk going to Witherten so finally she asked, “What is going on in Witherten?” to a kind young girl.
“There is a HUGE wedding” the girl said jumping up and down with bliss and delight.
Kohina had no time to go see it, for she was heading off to the market for some rare gems she had ordered. When she stopped walking to think she had a tug on her shirt.
“Lady why aren’t you going to the wedding” the girl said holding onto Kohina’s shirt “EVERYONE is invited?”
“I… I am going to the market to pick up an order.”
“Ah… it would have been so fun if you came.”
Kohina heard the little girl think “and if she did come she might as well meet some one who really cares for her.” Kohina couldn’t have faith in what this little girl thought would happen, so she said “I highly disbelief anyone will show to love a person like me.”
“How did you know what I was thinking?” the girl questioned Kohina’s decision of her thought.
“I am a sage, I know many things.”
The girl left in a rush after her mother. Kohina walked on wishing the orders had come in some other day so she could go to the wedding, but if she had she never would have had time to go to both, unfortunately. When she reached her destination a sign on the market gates read “CLOSED”.
“What! I came all this way for nothing”
