Re: The PORTAL
I stood to find that I was still in one piece, brushing myself down I looked up to find only sky, the aura had disappeared, and I was alone in the middle of a field. Walking up the slight incline of the said field, I could see a magnificent city about a mile further on. Getting nearer to the city I could tell something was wrong but couldn’t figure out why, you see I could see several people coming and going from the city, but the perspective I had, was from a half a mile away. It wasn’t until I got a lot closer that I realised, these people were huge, at least 7 FT tall, some even bigger, the men being the tallest. Other than their size though, they looked like normal human beings.
By the time I reached the gates to this magnificent city, I was attracting quite a bit of attention. You see, I’m only 5ft 5 myself so they were dwarfing me, I tried to ignore their stares but found it very unsettling. ”Who are you?” a voice said, on my right. Turning my head I spotted what looked like an authoritative figure looking straight at me. ”Did you hear what I said?” He boomed. ”Yes, I heard you…I’m a stranger in these parts just visiting,” I said, for want of a better explanation. He waved me on, indifferent to my appearance, I would guess that he was a local police type character, simply because I saw two others wearing exactly the same attire directing people to where they wanted to go. Entering the city proper, I was impressed with the architecture. I should however have been looking where I was going, for suddenly a vehicle seemed to appear out of nowhere. If it hadn’t been for the kind Gentleman that pulled me out of the way, I would have been road kill. ”Thank you,” I said, looking up to the biggest man I’d yet seen, at least 8ft tall. ”You’re welcome, but be more careful in the future,” he said, preparing to walk away. I am usually a good judge of character, so I was not about to let this man get away without asking for a little help. ”Excuse me Sir, but could you help me further, I seem to be lost.”
Before I knew it I was explaining what had happened to me, he became quite interested in my story, and then invited me to join him for a bite to eat at his place. I knew that I would have to find somewhere soon, so I agreed. As we walked he told me his name was Garreth, I told him mine and we exchanged life stories, by the time we reached his abode, I knew that he had just gone to market selling fruit, and that he possessed his own orchard. He’d been staring at me most of the time we walked so I asked if there was anything wrong. ”I’m sorry, it’s just that you are the smallest woman I have ever seen,” he said, taking in every inch of my body with his eyes. For the first time that day I had noticed the man I was talking too, really noticed I mean. He was quite handsome in a rugged kind of way, with strong shoulders and big hands, I could also tell that his torso was quite big, but couldn’t see it for he wore a long coat that covered most of his body. Once inside his home he took the coat off placing it on the hook next to the door, and then invited me in. It was quite a big place, with large open areas, and furniture that looked big enough to sleep on.
