I entered the vision gate and found myself climbing a path up the side of a rocky mountain. It wound around the slopes at the mountain’s base and I strode purposefully forward down this path with a tall shepherd’s staff that appeared in my hand. A lamb appeared as well and trotted along behind me, keeping pace with me with no difficulty at all. After some time of silent travel had passed, my lamb and I halted in our climb.
I turned to my wooly companion. “I’ve never been to this particular mountain before, have you?” I said. “Maybe we should call a guide.” The lamb didn’t respond in words, just blinked her large, lashed eyes at me in acknowledgement.
As soon as my thought left my lips, an enormous elemental made out of the rock of the mountain rumbled out of the ground. To my eyes, he appeared to be bigger than the mountain itself, a titan of the earth made manifest in my experience. Our newly birthed guide scooped me and my lamb off the ground, managing to pick up a large patch of earth with us so that we didn’t slip between his mammoth fingers. Then, the elemental turned in the opposite direction from which I had been traveling and began to walk through the mountain range as easily as my lamb and I had been traversing its slopes.
It wasn’t long before the elemental placed me and my lamb before a still, sparkling lake high above and very far away from the place where we had begun our mountainous hike. “Thank you for helping us on our journey,” I called up to the giant as he disappeared back into the rocks of the mountain range. “I wonder if he was able to hear someone as small as us,” I said to my lamb. “I sure hope so. What time he saved us both.” In response, she ran to the lake to get a drink.
I quickly followed and as my lamb drank her fill of the clear and sparkling mountain waters, a pulsing energy in the form of a lotus flower made of water and light appeared above her innocent, wooly head. The flower’s petals opened and closed in rhythm like a living breath and shone with a sparkling light all of its own. The blossom acted as a hypnotic power upon my spirit and compelled me towards it, filling my vision until I could hardly see anything else but the flower. My lamb remained at the edge of the lake, completely unaware of the glowing flower shining above as she quenched her thirst.
Floating Flowers
Drawn ever forward by the lotus blossom, I found myself walking on air, traversing invisible step stones in the sky above the lake. “Look, Lamb!” I called back to my companion. “This flower makes you lighter than air!” She seemed far more interested in the waters of the lake than my antics so I continued forward, a step at a time, higher into the air towards the enormous flower. As I got closer, something moved invisibly in the air all around me, as if the air was stirred by many unseen wings.
Finally, I was close enough to the summoning energy to perceive a small throne existed within the heart of this magical flower and, on it, sat a majestic winged being. The moment I saw the spirit within the flower, my body began to shrink so that, instead of towering over this being, I quickly became the same size as him.
Though I had difficulty viewing the spirit beyond a basic outline made of light and energy, I was able to perceive his countenance. His face was strange to my human eyes, a mixture of a mortal man and stag, and his ears were also like a deer and pointed like an elfish prince. He didn’t have any horns on his head like a real stag but he wore a circlet of flowers, the same flower within which he sat, and his wings were diaphanous and windowed like a dragonfly. After a few more steps upon the air, I came before the throne and bowed my head in respect to this figure.
“Greetings to you, Great One and Spirit of the Mountain Lake Flower. My name is Heidi and I come from another world,” I said. “Whom do I have the honor of addressing?”
“You see before you, Paralda, King of the Fairies,” the spirit replied. “Who are you again? I’ve never had anyone approach my throne in your manner and I’ve had very many visitors to my mountain lake throughout time.”
“My name is Heidi and does my manner offend?” I said. “I hope not. It was your flower throne that caused me to float, I’m really not in the habit of walking on air. In fact, I might never have even found your flower if it hadn’t been for my thirsty lamb. She drank of the water from the lake and your majesty appeared above her.”
