5 min Writing Prompt "Blues" #freewrite Serial Story ACT TWO Chapter Twenty Five
The revelation, the delivery from ignorance into a state of awakening and awareness, has now been eclipsed by a sense of deep foreboding that settles heavily into Simon's bones as he staggers down the throne steps and collapses onto the floor stones of his abandoned court.
The Five Rivers. The Sky Mountain. He has come so far already, but now that he remembers, he knows the there is much further to go… Too far…. He kneels that way for several moments, before noticing that his erstwhile companion has slithered it's way to his side.
"The blues are a necessary part of your journey, King Simon," hisses the snake, moving across the stones and over to a large door set beneath an array of twisted bloody horns. "And although I do know you are now meant to take the lead, please allow me to point you in a certain direction one lasst time."
The snake waits for him at the door, slowly undulating back and forth. Wiping sweat from his brow, Simon rises to his feet and stumbles forward. As he reaches the door his boot presses into one of the paving stones, and slowly, grindingly, the door swings open, revealing before him his suit of armour.
