Chapter Six
The waves crash against the shore. The wind whips against my body harshly as I stand on the beach, raindrops pummeling me.
The wind has made my hair a total mess, flying in all sorts of directions.
The sky is bleak and black, grey clouds moving in frantic directions, lighting striking the ocean and thunder so loud my eardrums could pop.
I donât know how I got here, but I have to get out of here. I have to get home. I have to get back.
By any means necessary.
Looking at the ocean in front of me, I feel hopeless. How am I ever going to get across that?
Itâs like a beast, waiting for me to foolishly decide to challenge it.
A lump forms in my throat as I take a deep breath and work up the courage to do it.
The smell of the salty sea invades my nostrils and gives me a temporary sense of calm before I take the biggest risk I ever could.
Reaching into my pocket, I grab a scrunchie, and wrap my hair in a bun.
I narrow my eyes on the roaring ocean and set my feet firmly on the ground in a sprinterâs position.
âYou got this.â I say to myself
I sprint towards the violent ocean, with waves at least fifty feet high moving quickly to the shore.
I skip across the water.
Skip.
I can feel the power coursing through me, as I use this ability that I didnât even know I could have.
Fear builds up inside me as a massive wave descends upon me, big enough to swallow me whole.
I extend my arms out, stopping the wave in its tracks. My body, taken over by a force I donât recognize mumbles a spell that causes the wave to fall apart into the water again.
I mumble another spell.
The entire water around me stops moving. Everything is silent. The sky still whirls ominously with lightning strikes in the distance.
In the far out reaches of my vision I can see an island with a fuzzy structure I canât make out from here reaching up towards the sky.
I glide across the eerily still water for a few minutes until I reach the coast of the island.
A beautiful, tropical island with palm trees and coconuts. There are beautiful flowers and natural foliage covering ground. I could feel an intense magical presence.
My eyes drifted up to see aâ¦..castle?
Right in the center of the island. Large and grey, made of cinderblock with flying buttresses and pointed towers. The windows were entirely lit. There was definitely some activity going on in there.
Before I could make my way there, I heard footsteps behind me. My eyes glowed even stronger, my power becoming more concentrated in the presence of a potential threat.
âYouâve done so well.â The strong male voice said.
He was pretty imposing, over six feet, and covered head-to-toe in a hooded white cloak.
âWho are you? And where am I?â
He didnât respond to my question. Instead he giggled, and lifted his hood.
I squinted my eyes. I recognize him from somewhere, but Iâm not sure exactly where.
