Tales of Arcadia Book I Will’s Adventure Chapter I The hole in the willow tree This is the tale of a world similar to ours who needed help, and a young man who traveled there to help. Will was your average teenager, and since summer had began only a few days ago, he found no need to wake up earlier than he had to, but for some reason today, he awoke and 8 am sharp and could fall back to sleep. Grumpy and tried he rolled out of bed and taking one looking in the mirror he saw that his soft brown hair was messed up and he noticed that there were dark circles under his eyes. He decided that a good way to wake up was to take a shower and so he did. As he finished his shower and got dressed, he didn’t know that today was the day his life would change forever. He walk out the door and stepped out into the bright morning sun, he lived on a farm so the sounds a birds chirruping and singing were normal to him, but something that wasn’t normal to him was sitting just a few yards away from him. An abnormally large cat was sitting down on the gravel simply staring at him, with its huge bright green eyes looking straight at Will. Now Will loves cats so he couldn’t resist going forward to pet the cat, as he made a move to touch it the cat got up and started to run away. “Let the games begin, then” Will said, and he hurried after the cat. The closer he got to the cat, the farther it ran, but if he stopped chasing the cat, it would meow and walk closer to him. “What’s up little guy?” Will said to the cat, it just started back at him with his bright green eyes, and thus the chase began again. The Will and the cat ran all around his yard until the cat stopped abruptly in front of an old willow tree, the willows branches danced in the wind and Will and the cat stood there watching, then as if the cat remembered something ran straight for the base of the willow tree. Will followed, but when he got thought the branches he notice the cat wasn’t there anymore “oh great, its in the hole”, the willow tree many years ago had lived through a very powerful storm, but not without getting a huge gash in the center of the trunk, you could see all the way down into the root system. Will hurried over to the hole and peeked though, he saw a little furry tale sticking out and instinctively grabbed it so help the cat out. He began pulling gently so as not to hurt the cat, but some how the cat wouldn’t move. “Sorry kitty” he said as he gave a yank, expecting the cat to yelp and jump out of the hole, but it didn’t, in fact will felt a tug on the other end and fell to his knees. The cat’s tale fell out of his hands and down the hole. Will lunged his hand down the hole to try and grab the cat but, in fact something grabbed him and pulled. Whatever had him pulled with such force that Will was sucked into the hole in the Willow and he began to fall, it was dark so he couldn’t see but one thing bothered him more than the fact that he was falling. It was the fact that the hole wasn’t big enough for a human to fit into, and he didn’t feel or hear and wood snap. hazzah! Chapter 2! and ive got a way so i talk into my mic and my computer writes so these chapters should go by alot fast! xD Chapter II The Women of the Tree People It didn’t take long for Will’s falling body to hit something solid and when he did, surprisingly, it didn’t hurt. He found himself laying facedown on grass opening in the middle of a thick forest that Will has never seen before, he heard birds singing beautiful and strange songs all around him, and when he got up to see where he was, he noticed that he wasn’t home anymore. A few things happened all fast that Will didn’t realize it until they happened; first he heard a whooshing noise, second something grabbed him and held him in a death like vice grip, and third a sharp silver thing was at his throat. “Don’t move beast” whispered the man into Wills ear “or ill cut you” he said this with such meaning that Will was froze with fear, he could move his legs or arms, he couldn’t even replied. “Now” began the man, “Where did you filthy monster come from?” “I…I came...Fr-from my house” Will couldn’t control the fact that he was stuttering, the mans grip on Wills body didn’t loosen, nor did the knife at his throat move and inch. “And where the hell is that?” Wills mind was racing, who was this strange man and why was he on his property? Then something flew from the trees near by, and with in seconds the man fell to the ground, dead. “are you alright?” said a beautiful women standing over the body of the dead man, she was one of the most beautiful people Will had ever seen, her skin was a rich brown like tree bark. She had beautiful emerald green eyes, the same color of leaves she was tall too, she was wearing an assortment of veins and leaves and she held a small knife in her hand. “Umm…I’m not sure, where am I?” “Where are you? Well that’s a foolish question” The women saw the confused look on Wills face “You really don’t know don’t you?” Will looked up at into his savior’s eye. “Haven’t a clue” he found it really easy to talk to her, for some reason, he felt very safe with her around. “You silly man child, you are in the land of Arcadia” “Where is that?” “Are you saying you are not of this world? Then you must be that child” Will look at this strange woman, and somehow knew things were never going to be the same again.
