This "strange happening" started when I was walking through the forest. It was a sunny morning and birds were twittering. I was just about to turn around when, between two trees, I saw a multi-coloured swirling pool. I could faintly hear a voice of a man saying, "Do not be afraid." I jumped into pool and then I could not remember anything.
When I woke up I was lying in a bed in a big room filled with jewels. I saw a strange person, a wizard actually. He told me that I was in the king's palace and the king needed my help. The wizard took me to the king. "Your majesty, our saviour has come. This is Arnold."
The king nodded and the wizard went out. "Arnold, I need you to lead my army and fight against the "Dark Side". I was about to tell him that I didn't know the first thing about being a knight but I knew the only people who would say that must be desperate to get their heads chopped off. "I will provide you with training." said the king.
Well that's a relief, I thought.
I went out to meet the wizard. "Won't my parents be worried?" I asked him.
"No, not at all......." the wizard chuckled heartily. "Ten years in here equals one minute in the outside world. It takes seven years to train." said the wizard knowingly.
While they were talking, unbeknownst to the wizard and I, a person from the "Dark Side" was spying on us.
The training started almost immediately.
Seven years later......
"Charge!" The battlefield was dark and misty. Before the wizard had disappeared he had given me a sword which was surrounded by a blue aurora. He also gave me a potion. I still remember the wizard but now I had to focus. All I could hear was the sound of swords clashing.
We would've all been killed if the wizard hadn't come to fight of some of the "Dark Side's" soldiers. Suddenly the potion flashed in my head. I took it out and I drank one drop. Instantly I was back in the forest.
Two years later...........
It was a sunny morning. I was about to turn around when I saw a swirling multi-coloured pool between two trees.
"I still remember the wizard........" I laughed, holding the potion in my hand. I jumped into the pool and I couldn't remember anything else............
