unsung

The large man seemed to size me up. I could not help if my stature was small, but a lot of power was packed in me. He kept glaring around at the eyes that never blinked. His ears flicked every which was and his eyes rolled around at everything. Those bloody eyes must be barriers between him and everyone else. I flicked my tail, and watched him defensively. The mist swirled around my hooves trying to drag me below. "If you heard those stories, then why stay here? You have wings, you can fly and escape." This was something unknown to the traveler. Everyone knew that once the Rift had you in its grasp, you could never leave. I flexed my wings slightly a the thought of flying. What if this newcomer did not know that this place was only one part of The Rift? "No one can leave The Rift once they enter. But this place is only one small part of The Rift. It is called the Portal where everyone enters at one point in their time here. It's not so bad really. I came here at one point, but I left and went to explore." I glanced around at the surrounding woods. It was impossible to fly out of here, so we have to walk in some direction.



Trapped is only a state of mind.
