An Unforgettable Event

During the day all was strangely calm, never had I seen the lake so quiet. Restlessness would not abate for I could not shake the feeling of being watched. All looked as it should, the wind was blowing, woodland noises came and went. Given a day like this we would normally spend it on the lake, yet… …only it was no normal day; I could feel a call invoking me to come… …never before had I felt such a pull, a yearning to follow a call. Reckless perhaps was I to venture forth as night laid claim to the sky. Everything was telling me to return home and bolt the door. But I did not, I stepped forth and found my feet had a mind of their own. On the edge of the lake I found a raft, strange I thought never to have seen it before. Returning home was no option now I could not resist the call. Never one to back down from a fight I rowed out to the centre of the black lake. Many a man had heard the call that was to claim me tonight, yet none had answered. As this was my destiny I now recall in fondness how terrified I was at first sight. Sinister it looked glowing near core and axis of the lake’s bottom. Trust was difficult for the calling was leading me below and I was bound to follow. Entering the blackness it felt like the day of days finally arrived. Reckoning would take place this night to see if I was worthy. Placing the small round stone on the raft it glowed from within with stronger beat. Lost was I as to what to do, when voice on breeze came at me that night. Enter into bondage with me and I shall bestow all my gifts onto thee… …Do you accept this charge I place or shall I return into the night. Grasping where the voice came from I could not find my voice. Everything I had learned till then said run, but I felt it in my heart. Dragon Reborn and Master Pledged walked away into the night.
