33 Part 1

In a world where no one lives, in a place where no one stays. I stumble upon a time which was lost, captured from the time of unknown days. I walked through the gates, a gap in the space. I ended up in a place where everyone walks with grace. Why is it that this world with lands so vast, managed to elude nature and men of the present and past? I was befuddled by the appearance of such a land, that its beauty evaded my eyes though it was right in front of my hand. There was not a flaw, a single blemish. Not a single fault that could be righted not. A place of perfection, where nothing can be a distraction. Until someone steps in and disturbs the balance.

The streets had cleared, the people gone. No sounds of life, nothing moving in sight. That was when he appeared. A man like no other. In fact it wasn't a man but a creature bearing semblance to the figure of a man. I stared at the being moving without a sound. His steps even on the ground. He came at me with no apparent effort. This caused me quite some discomfort. My mind went blank, empty of thoughts. As in front of me he came to a stop. Now that he was this close I noticed something I couldn't see before. This being in front of me couldn't see. Yet, he was observing me as if he had eyes. Those eyelids of his were sealed tight by a scar. A wound irreparable that robbed him of his light. He motioned me to follow him and he turned around. Then we started a walk through what seemed like a ghost town.
