Chapter 15 Scaleaha

For the weeks that followed,

I mainly slept.

I felt as though I was stuck in a tornado, never going to see light again.

Its really a strange feeling - and if you've never experienced it before you can have no idea how strange it feels, floating between the barriers of the world.

When I finally had the energy to walk, my Maska took me to the market to buy some new clothes.

When I said I didn't want any she had just grabbed my arm and dragged me into town, all whilst I screamed like a two year old.

When she forced me to choose something I chose a plain pair of platform shoes and a silver cotton dress.

After another six weeks I was well enough to travel.

My Maska to me to a woman prayer temple, beside a huge crevasse.

After entering the temple I dropped to my knees and prayed that I would be well again.

After that Maska made me have my fortune told by looking into the crevasse.

As I gazed into the canyon of truth, death stared back at me, looking me in the eye, pulling out my secrets kept hidden.

My soul was dragged away.

My mind echoing one though - death.

Once again impulse took over and I jumped - to what seemed like death.

What was my ending?

I hung in the air, and a voice spoke to me - if you follow your dreams your life will be true, yet if you choose to go against that will, your death will follow.

I should have given the stone to Malanao.

He wanted it and I didn't.

Now I sit here - suspended in air, recalling only my mistakes, and what I thought, was my destiny.
