//------------------------------// // The Child // Story: Auraborn // by SamMaherGamer //------------------------------// There was once a child with many fantasies. The child would build worlds in its mind, and develop the mightiest thoughts. The child recently disappeared off the face of the earth. No one could find this child. The child who dreamed of being in a world so great, it would bring its fantasies to life. The worlds name, Canterlot. Samuel was in bed one cold night thinking of his dreams becoming a reality. His blinds were pulled completely up, even though his mother said to keep them down during the nighttime. Sam liked it that way. It let the light from the street lamps behind the house into his bedroom. He had his headphones set up so that he could listen to his music at night. Sam specifically listened to 'dubstep' and 'action' music only. He couldn't stand other types. The music helped him think during the night. Sam had a slightly-saturated, brown mullet and a contagious smile. He was 13 years old, but was close to 14 due to his birthday being in a month. He had deep hazel eyes, large hands and an above-average build. He had a flexible body and a large amount of persistence and will. A storm started to brew outside and Sam heard a clap of thunder through his headphones. The thunder inclined him to take his headphones off and curiosity made him look out the window. Crystalline raindrops pelted the glass and Sam sat in a deep trance for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, he shook himself out of the trance, wrapped himself back up in his tattered sheets and fell asleep thinking his biggest fantasies - My Little Pony. Dear Somebody I wish I was brought to their world. I want to be somebody important. I would like to be happy. But I'd like a 'twist.' Something that makes this other world different. I don't want the world created, but found. I want to forget completely about most of my old life. Mostly the part where I make this current wish, and the part about knowing the names of people and places. Thank you... A flash of light somehow had made its way into Sam's dream. His dream had started off in a large room with quartz pillars, polished marble floors, and large, colourful banners. Right above his cloudy perspective of the room was an amazing, large, crystal chandelier. The roof was painted with huge, fascinating paintings, and there was a foggy hall at the end of a red carpet. That's when Sam saw the flash of light. He groggily woke to an ear-piercing, screeching noise in which gave Sam a skull-crunching headache. He was about to dash towards the kitchen for some medication, but instead froze. Something was flashing outside. It was the exact blinding light he had seen in his dream, and it made him feel lighter, stronger, and for once, happy. Just seconds after he stopped, the flashing faded, and into view came a large meteor. But there was something strange about it - it was in the shape of a 7-sided, star-like disc. It pulsed as bright as the sun itself, but seemed to dim to a faint purple as it reached the atmosphere. Then it exploded to a fiery aura of bright purple...
