Looking for Eider

  I think that it will be cool if I introduce myself first; I'm a shy boy with brown hair and brown eyes. I'm not really tall but I don't see myself as a short guy. I think I'm just a normal kid with big dreams in my head. I live in a small town in the middle of nothing. What I'm going to tell you is something that had happened to me a short time ago.

   It was a hot afternoon of summer. I was looking down a cliff thinking about my life and the loneliness I was feeling. Jumping down of that cliff would have been a horrible idea even for me, so that was not going to happen. While I was looking at the beautiful view, I saw a girl. A girl with wings like birds. The girl had blonde hair, she was wearing a white dress and she was barefoot, she looked like a normal teenager, in spite of her wings of course. The girl was at the other side of the cliff, she was looking down. In a second the girl jumped down and started to fly above the deep cliff. I started to run in the same direction as her. While she was flying so fast, she started to leave sparks of light on the grass, and when I run through these sparks I started to see a lot of wonderful things of the world and to feel many things I had never felt in my life.

I was really tired after running a long time following an angel or a kind of bird girl with sparks of light. When the girl decided to stop I was breathless but at the same time happy, it was the greatest feeling I've had. I felt complete.

She came down near me. I was really confused, I had a lot of questions in mind.

Before I could say anything she spoke;

-I'm Eider, your journey just begins. Keep running, the best is at the end, your adventure is going to start.
