Chapter I
"EDUARDO”
As the mist cleared, he found himself walking in the
middle of a thick and mysterious forest. A strange place. He had never been in
such a place before. He realized that he was walking barefoot, feeling on his
delicate white feet the dampness of the incipient dew.
He was carried by a mysterious force that led him. He
didn't know where. He wondered what he was doing there and where he was going.
But he kept walking.
The night was not so dark, it was dim as if
illuminated by the full moon. A gust of cool, pleasant wind made him shiver.
The path was somewhat winding. The dark green trees
were not so tall.
At last, the path led him towards a large rock and so
he came to a high, colossal crag and there he saw the majestic sea.
He slipped, somewhat numbly, down a sort of stone ramp
and started down a rocky stairway. It all looked easy and pleasant. All around
the path he saw some wild primroses and many ferns.
The moon was illuminating the sea which was intensely
blue and the waves formed a crown of foam.
Before reaching the beach, there was a sort of green
grass platform. There he sat and gazed at the sea and the starry night.
He lay down on the grass and listened to the murmur of
the waves and stared at the Milky Way and the northern constellations. They
seemed to float in the peace of a still sea. One in particular caught his eye.
It seemed to be in the shape of a long hair. The stars tinkled in that
graceful, feminine form of hair.
He looked back at the sea and suddenly saw the dawn of
a new day on the horizon. Suddenly she felt a warm breeze and a strong, very
strong light that prevented her from opening her eyes. At that moment, all the
calm and placidity he felt gave way to a sense of danger. Then he had the
feeling that he was not alone and that someone was approaching.
He woke up abruptly and with a start.
