A tunnel and where it leads.
Hello, I am a young writer and this is my attempt to create a fantasy, if you have any critics or comments please be free to talk to me, I would enjoy some feedback and if should develop this story or not, thanks for the attention, be kind to each other.
It all started with a tunnel, colorful but shaded and disturbed as if a rainbow appeared on a dark rainy night. In the tunnel, there's a creature falling, very fast, anxiously fast. This being was pitch black and had a humanoid form, to be precise, they resemble the same size as a child in there seven or eight years old, just the age when you are aware of what is good or bad, or to realize when you are naughty or nice, and sometimes just bored enough to make up imaginary friends and stories. There are little lights that shine very shyly but didn't come unnoticed by their eyes. They didn't remember when or why or even how they end up failing at this tunnel, at the moment that the confusing and yet colorful view was getting comfortable and pleasing, there's intense pain all of suddenly their sight went black.
The warmth in their face woke them up, on a hill, a very long hill full of high green grass and camp flowers, with a beautiful peach color on the sky and they breathe the familiar smell of spring, they realized that their back was flat in the ground, the first will that came into their head was: well, I don't plan to sleep right now, I should sit up, and they did, of course instantly noticing the immeasurable back pain due to the falling in the hill.
Shortly after that, they wore sitting on a very long hill, in a place that they didn't know or ever seen before. The reflection of where they wore was soon set aside when they look at their own hands, the sighted pitch-black fingers like so for sure to scared them the most until they realized that in fact, their whole body was in such manner. They can't quite remember how they wore before, but, surely they knew somehow that they didn't look like this before, they wore sure of it! After a few more bodily view examinations they decided that since they can still feel the dirt, the grass, and still smell of the sweet spring breeze, they must be at least fine. So far, they only pounded on ideas and sensations, but never actually moved to walk around and tried to go somewhere. So they did, they rapidly moved to stand up. In this situation, tried to imagine that you just woke up, after a very long work out or in these case a very long fall from an unknown hight and decided to immanently stand up, as you can imagine that didn't go well, causing the creature to fall downhill, all the way down to the forest. If that was any doubt about the capacity of their body, now it was sure showing that they could still feel and very well pain.
Contrary to the nice and bright hills they wore in before, the forest had a much mysterious feeling oozing out of the place and right into their insides. As they decent from the hill quite fast, they went face to face with an odd creature, they wore both very scared, causing the other being into hiding behind one of many long twin threes.
Scratching their head to put down the pain, the aphotic humanoid creature tries to explain themself to the small being hiding in the three, that spy on them with very cautious eyes.
- Oh, I am very sorry to scare you, you see I fall that big hill accidentally, and.. and you see I didn't mean... but you did also caught me by surprise and scared me as well.
Said the blackish silhouette politely. But silent remained until the small creature gave them a suspicious stare, the kind of look that a mother gives when she wants to snatch the truth out of their kids, and then the creature said, still hiding behind the long three
_ Accident, you said? well, last time a big creature like yourself "accidentally" he says mockingly. fell in front of somebody like me, they ended up with their tail eaten!
The pitched black-figure was shocked by that subtle implication.
_ Well! I am not lying, I did fall by accident, and I don't eat tails, in fact, I don't know if I eat at all. But if I was to choose to fall in front of somebody it wouldn't be with such a rude creature!
They said roughly, but then the small creature hides even deeper into the three, and rapidly they feel guilty for their rudeness.
_ But I am sad to know about your friend, I hope their tail heals back.
They said apologetically, and, as they wore standing up and ready to walk throw the woods, the small creature creeps his eyes out of the three.
_ OI! I'm not rude, I was saying that it doesn't feel like it was an accident! The creature raises his voice a bit. ...but, perhaps I judged you too harshly... I guess.
Said sheepishly the animal. Interested in the new behavior of the small beast, the black silhouette waited in front of the three, slightly happier with their conversation.
_Can you come out? I promise I won't do any harm, never intended to it in the first place.
The coal-black being could feel the hesitance in the other animal just by how long and thoughtful silence wore between them.
_ Well, I can, BUT ! in only one condition, you will open your mouth, so I can see how big are your teeth, and depending on that I will show myself.
The inky figure didn't hesitate and open their mouth as wide open as it could, then, bend down to what they believe to be the level of the others high. The small beast looked very carefully, examining with their eyes the anatomy of the strange figure before him, the conclusion was that the being in front of him didn't have teeth at all, he was surprised, but in a content way, see since he's so small, he was always told that there is a lot of bigger animals than him, but the only ones that can or would like to eat him up are the ones with big teeth and claws, then he remembers.
_ Hum, very good. Now show me your hands! He said demandingly.
The inky form didn't understand why all of these cautious steps, but didn't judge, so they did as the creature told, they stretch their hands as open as they could, showing every bit of their palm. When the tiny creature was happy with the non-existence claws, he showed himself. He had feeders like a bird but instead of having a beak, he had a mouse nose, a mouse hand but birdly legs and feet. The pattern of his feeders wore beautiful, full of green colors and pastels yellows. He carried a little bag in his arm, like a purse but bigger, and he snatches a tiny pipe and looked at them.
_Well, since you are not a predator, and obviously not like me, I am sorry for treating you like that, but I must all ways be careful, for that's just how I was taught to be, anyway, you don't look alike any other creature I ever have seen! He says that with a funny amused ton. Could you .. .care to explain why are you falling downhills?
Say the mouse looking animal, putting some sort of dried herb into his pipe and grabbing a tiny box of matches to light it up and inhale the smoke. As he was now supporting himself against the three in a very differently relaxed way, they sat down in front of him.
