Prism of the Past and Future

Viktor was on his way to collect herbs for Singed. But there was somethign else hidden at the shore …

“Can you fetch me the herbs again, Viktor?” “Yes, of course.”

It was a long way, especially for a boy like Viktor. But Singed was too big to squeeze through the cracks, so he had to do it. They had to keep Rio alive. The secret shore was nestled between the cliffs at the edge of the Undercity. People didn’t come here, usually. But Viktor enjoyed the quiet.

He plucked some of the rare herbs out of the ground when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. Viktor looked around and saw it. A … structure. He frowned and carefully walked towards it. It looked almost … human. Almost like it was alive. Viktor hesitated, then he stretched out his hand and touched the rough surface. The face was broken in half, as if it was missing a part of itself, the colours changed depending on how the light hit the surface. He had never seen something as beautiful.

“Fascinating”, he whispered as he gently touched its face. There was a force pulling him towards it. For a second it felt like there were long forgotten memories rushing through his mind, creating a whirlwind of colours and emotions and taking his breath away. He pulled back again, and fell onto his butt, staring. What happened?

He took a few deep, calming breaths, then he grabbed his cane again, pulled himself up and rushed back to the crack that he slipped out of.

“Viktor.”

He heard the voice of a man call out for him, but when he turned around to look, there was still only the strange, lonely structure. For a moment he looked at it and felt a longing in his heart that he didn’t understand. As he turned away, he knew that he’d have to come back.
