Aylynn
This may seem like the story of a journey, it's really an incredible story of how Aylynn is my alter-ego when I become too funny to be true.
I started Aug. 12, as usual at the last moment, with the project to go straight to Paris and then reach Ste Erasmus and Manu that were there.
I definitely wanted to go to Britain, perhaps up to the rocky Brest in search of witches and Celtic circles magical.
The train was traveling to the French capital at night. Quattro sediolini lying on the mo 'with single bed and a half then I try to call my friends, but neither responds. The sending of text messages in Britain aims to achieve between 4-5 days. Then I fall asleep and I dream:
I'm looking at a dusty descent to the sea, a kind of inverted Y steep. In the water there is a swing built with wooden beams and the children playing around us. Music of flutes in the distance. A cricket huge jumps in front of me and I follow. When I stop he stops, turns his head and looks at me questioningly. Waiting for me. Then approaches a tall and lanky with a face mask with aviator glasses to the bottom of the bottle, peeled and with the lobes of the metal circles the diameter of a couple of inches, like those African tribes. E 'covered with tattoos for half of the body and is' very bad. Behind the lens, however, has a sweet look and friendly. In any case, I trust. He takes off a ring and I put on my ear lobe finger ragged, laugh and feel invincible. Then I realize that the beach there are Stephen and Manu taking the bath and greet me with his hand.
giant says, "Good and evil do not exist at all. Do not waste time trying to be good, rather it seeks to be right. " The cricket looks at me and smiles.
I wake up a bit 'strange in the compartment empty. "Dreams", I think.
turn on my mobile and I'll get a message Page. My friends, just dreaming, I respond. Have become infected by my desire for adventure and send me a sentence dark, almost encrypted: "see you in the Huelgoat 8 / 8 to 8".
In Paris I stay very short. Sitting at a table in a bar I do a quick consultation of the village map to see where I am. I find that is a forest not far from NAME. I have about five days before and decided to walk around in broad outline the path to do. Chasing memories of Marie Antoinette that I just saw the movie I'm going to VersaillesUel. The queue to enter the building, however, is infinite, and I, impatient, immediately returned to the station and take an express train to Rambouillet. Check that there is now afternoon and I stopped to eat at a park with a pond where there are two huge fish, catfish, I think, both have mustaches. Launch of the pieces in water sandwich and sling them at the speed of light. If you put your finger at your mouth I think the sieve. Fantastic opportunity to check on it but I will stop for a moment before, as I almost always do when I'm fucked up.
Rest your finger on the water and a feeling of irresponsibility that I do not mind. I reflect on how often just a small detail to make the best of this world into something ugly or dangerous. I always feel very close to this boundary.
I have with me the tent, but at Chartres, which is nearby, there should be a hostel, get there by bus which is almost evening.
I'm going for a walk before it gets dark at all. At the center of a tiny village, high in front of the cathedral, I have a slight dizziness. This church is very old, the structure looks like a spider web. I suffer of Stendhal Syndrome, which basically consists nell'inebetimento in front of works of art. The first time it happened during a school trip. I was stunned almost an hour before the Last Judgement, which had just been restored. I did not realize that others continued and the appeal output was not present. I looked at the painting as if it were a modern subliminal advertising on good and evil. The blue sky, scraping away the dirt of centuries, it was as bright as if the color was not yet dry. The fresco is part of the ceiling, forcing an unnatural position that makes your head spin because the blood does not circulate and flatten the neck. I do not know how long I was up his nose, his head slightly, forgetting everything, lost in the clouds puffy and piled in little bodies, looking for someone who looked like me. I was focused mainly on hell and purgatory, heaven was too high. An employee at the museum, informed by my companions, I found there and brought me back the bus.
front of the church of Chartres is happening to me again and am stunned to see the stained glass windows and transparent that the light from outside light as electricity. Resistance when I left I walked back slowly and the austere church will cease to have power over me. It happens to me always and that is why I travel. When the spell is finished I wander the streets near the old river. In a souvenir shop I buy a box of useless pieces of glass, precious stones seem crude and giants. The next stage
Orleans. The story of the maiden has always fascinated me, Joan burned at the stake as a witch. Arrival Sunday everything is closed, for more is ferragosto and there are tourists. I take a train that runs along the first stretch of the Loire and I stop at Blois, where he set up the tent in a beautiful camp. There is a castle built by Catherine de 'Medici, one of the most powerful women in European history, a fervent Catholic who knew the power of poisons, another "witch". Opposite the castle is the home of Hudinì magician, illusionist. While I'm there, undecided on which one to visit, the six windows of the house magician at the same time opened wide and six gigantic dragon heads popping out as if to pounce. Jump with fright. They are mechanical automata of the nineteenth century, a house-watch. Leaving
I notice the tails of dragons in the back of the house, which sguisciano glittering like snakes in the den while falling. At the end of the show windows are closed again by themselves with a dull thud, to the horror house. "Phenomenal" comment to myself.
In a tourist brochure I take the point of all the castles and choose one that seems to be Sleeping Beauty. Inside is a room called the five queens, one of them is Marguerite de Valois, Queen poet.
front of the canopy bed is a tapestry with wildlife. One in which fixed my attention in his hand a wooden flute and I like her.
In the afternoon I get closer to the coast of Brittany, the weather begins to change and the air is humid, the ocean is not far away.
Arrive in Carnac dead tired, I stop at the first open space I can find, near a beach just outside the village. Set up your tent and try to find I do not know how long a comfortable position before I could sleep.
The next morning I wake up more tired than before, I go out to stretch my legs and I notice a sign that the night before I had seen
WARNING AREA
Unhealthy
Seeking to calm thinking I slept only a lot of mud near the beach but does not look inviting.
At that moment I see a music coming from nearby. I know, but I can not remember when I've heard.
It 'an old man with a wooden flute sitting on a rock, there's no one around. As soon as I saw stops playing and says something in a strange language, maybe Breton dialect.
answer "Sorry, I do not understand, I do not understand, but the old man shakes his head and begins to play.
I do a pinch on the arm to make sure they wake up, get up again and the old look is gone. On the rock, however, is the flute.
I've never played an instrument in my life but this is a gift for me, I'm sure. E 'rosewood and must be ancient.
do not know how I know these things, but instinctively to his lips and began to play, and well, I must say. Shooting interrupts me, I know the name of the barely known and are totally out of tune. What the hell is going on?
He ran back to the tent and took it down fast, I move away from them. Finally I find a campsite and I settle on the first pitch free. I'll go take a shower, which relaxes me, but I start to get bored of being alone and more are also scared.
After dinner I suddenly go back to sleep and sleep for almost two days of yarn.
When I wake up I realize I'm laying on an inch of water. The sleeping bag is wet and wearing the suit that soup. The tent, obviously, it is not waterproof.
I try to avoid pneumonia and recovery in the bag of dry clothes, then close the curtain, with his hands all soft and wrinkled. I lost track of time but I think the days of the appointment with my friends is today.
I want to call them, but I can not find the phone that was in the side pocket of the tent.
Redo all the movements back to no avail, on the ground there is a lake of mud and have no hope of finding him. They are completely isolated and lost the phone numbers, what a tragedy! Gradually, however, the degradation becomes a feeling of freedom. I begin to realize that the answers to some of the dilemmas that haunt me are hidden in the things that are happening to me, only I do not understand yet. However, I decided to flee the camp, which now has become a pool, with tents and trailers that float on the water.
control on the road map for Huelgoat and take a tourist bus that goes there. The mood on the way is the swing between elation and terror.
The driver stops at the edge of the woods, I download and go. A wooden sign informs:
lives here Merlino
wizard of
transformations
I stand under a shelter and turn on the gas stove to make tea. There is a strange air around and kill time and give me courage, I play the flute.
At one point, from the depths of the forest, I hear a voice of a child.
around me in slow motion, the hair stands on end of arm I was convinced to be alone with me is not nobody down and even the shadow of those two.
I am meeting a slim figure and slightly lower than me.
It is not a child.
The hair is long and slender, almond-shaped eyes slightly lateral, sharp cheekbones, wide mouth and smiling.
I was enchanted to see us when a gust of wind ruffles his hair and discovers his ears, slightly pointed.
Mioddio an elf!
"Aylynn, I'll give it a bit '?" He says with ringing tone.
reached out to offer her the cup, "Scott" I warn.
"You came to the appointment," said the voice, ambiguous creature. She looks at me to make defiance in his eyes there is a sbrilluccichio amused.
How do you know of my appointment?
"I've been waiting for," he adds mysteriously.
Our fingers touch, and I suddenly remember the dream of cricket, then the faun in the bed of Margot. Both are similar to the face that is in front of me, and I must say that I like. Indeed, it is identical! He also has a flute similar to mine, holding in his left hand.
seems to be the mirror.
smile, "the meeting was you?" Wonder inconsistent.
"The giant is right," he says, "I do not think too much, listen to everyone, but decide alone and always be yourself", then I propose "sound?".
nod, happy to test my new-born talent.
Duet in the woods, as if I were a nymphet who lives there. After a while ', copy my fairy says, "Now give me the gift."
I have only a moment of embarrassment, then recovered from the bag took the colored stones to give them to him and Chartres.
"Beautiful," he says dreamily, "But now I must go, my friends are waiting for me and your waiting for you."
smiles away and "Do not forget me" she whispered, before disappearing into the woods.
