When he finally made it all the down, he couldn't see, but he remembered he had A small little gizmo that lit up, it was a little tiny bottle, that lit up every time you pushed the button on the back, he didn't know how it worked, but it did. When he could see he noticed there were arrows on the walls, pointing somewhere, so he followed them. They arrows lead him on for hours, go here, take a left, don't follow that way; it leads you to certain deaf. He stopped for a moment, to sit and rest, then while he was sitting, he glared at a painting away from him, he went up to it, and looked. It had a little stick man, holding up a stick, or sword, then another man with a sword, fighting off a evil looking stickman, on they very bottom of the wall, was an evil man, destroying a castle, he looked very closely at the evil man, it was him, the good stick figure in the top paintings, he know because the stick sword had a cross on it. "mmm.... I better record this, who knows it might be important to me one day" he said to himself, so he reached out of his left pocket to write in his little journal, he toke out an ink pen, another invention he had, no one of them in which he made, he was rewarded with these things for helping an inventor in the castle. He wrote and drew the painting, making marks that the guy became evil, and that it was a very old painting. He closed it and put it back in his pocket, and went onward to the exit. After one last turn, he was stunned "a dead end" he said, "nooo..., there has to be another way" he cried again. He put he's head against the wall, yelling to himself to think, he opened his eyes and saw something, it look like a ladder stuck within the wall, he used all the force he could to jam it out of there, and finally it did come out, he looked up, there seemed to be a manhole up there, so he climbed up the ladder, and pushed the manhole out. He climbed out of it, and looked around, he was in a town. He saw the local market, a couple of houses, a dojo, and a house that seemed to stand out among the others. It was a very small, blue house. Maybe this was the one he was looking for. So he walked up to it, and knocked the door "enter" a loud voice yelled from inside, he wiggled the handle of the door, it was opened, so he went in. "hello, I hope am at the right place, I am looking for a wizard, my friend said he might help me. Suddenly, dust appeared out of nowhere, a man came out of it and talked " yes, Jack, am the wizard you seek, my name is of no importance right now, I know why you come, what you seek, and of course, your fate," he interrupted him for a moment " wait, how did you know my name" jack asked "ahh that my friend is a story for another day" he said "you came here because you are seeking answers to why you have the same dream every night, it is because of a something that resides in you, it will come in time, but for now I have more to tell you" he went on "you have left the castle, that is bad, that place was the only palace you were safe from this legend, now in order to survive outside of the castle walls, I must train you to use a sword, and teach you about your new surroundings, are you up to it, the choice is yours of course, stay with me and learn, or Journey off into the abyss, never to return" he nodded "good then, I will show you to your room, there you can rest for tomorrow, tell me how you got here on the way, trust me, its going to be a long way:. He said. He was right, when they went into the hallway, it seemed forever, the room he was going to stay in was very very far away, all the way at the end, like magic, they seemed to not move anywhere while Jack was telling him about today, and how he figured out he wasn't the knights captain's father, and how he escaped the jail cell in the castle "that seems quite the journey Jack, finally were here" the wizard said the wizard opened the door Jack saw a blue king sized bed, a dresser, and some ordainments that were on shelves "all this is yours, feel free to look around my house, don't worry if you break something, it'll come back to me in a week or so, sometimes it takes longer to reaper though" the wizard told Jack. "Well am off, see you tomorrow" as the wizard said that, he waved his wand, and in the instance he was gone. Jack wasn't too tired; he wanted to explore his new room. So he started looking into the dresser next to the bed, nothing important seemed important in there, just a watch, a old match box, and a compass. This compass was no ordinary compass, it was sliver, and had the letters A.W. on the back of it, what could A.W. stand for jack thought, he decided that was for another day, he snatched it and closed the drawer. He tried to open his door out of his room to explore more, but it didn't open, he yelled, and suddenly looked at a note on the door, it read in bold letters "DEAR JACK, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GO GETTING INTO TROUBLE, SO I LOCKED THE DOOR FOR NOW, I WILL SHOW YOU MORE OF MY HOUSE TOMMORROW, SINERCEY, THE WIZARD" he was outrage at this, so he decided that he would look around more in this room, while he looked around, he noticed a 2nd door, he went up to it, and thought it would be locked, strangely enough, it wasn't, it slowly opened, it was the way outside, and it seemed everything went by so fast, that it was already dark, he saw a dark figure in the distance, it was holding something, it saw him, so it ran, Jack being adventurous as he was, ran after him, knowing the risks he was taking. The wizard said he could look around, he never said he couldn't go outside, so he thought he wouldn't be breaking any rules. He followed the man in the dark streets, it was getting darker then before, so he ran and got a torch, he followed the man half way down the street, until he ran into the nearby ally, he disappeared "were did he go" Jack said to himself, he just disappeared, there was no doors, or ladder, just a empty alleyway. He turned around, just then someone pushed him, throwing his torch on the ground, he couldn't see, he felt the guy touch him in the chest, then he saw images in his mind going fast, one of a man pulling a sword out a stone, another of a person fighting a dragon, one of two guys fighting with swords, then it stopped he saw himself in a village, it was burring down, he saw a man laughing menially, while riding off outta town, he ran towards a house, it showed two men talking while having faint breath "let the baby go and you and your wife will be spared" the man yelled "no!, I not going to let you kill my boy, Rick catch!!" the other yelled, the man through the baby to the left, and one man catched it and ran away "you know what you just did you let the chosen one get away, you have.." before the man could finish his sentence, he heard a voice from nowhere "enough!!" it yelled. The scene turned black, and soon minutes later he was mysteriously back in his room, lying on his bed. He thought to himself for a second before he drifted off again, he thought, no knew that someone wasn't telling him the hole story, someone was keeping a secret from him, he wanted to know so bad, but he thought it would be for another day.
