Snippet #2675084

It was dark, and his head was swimming. Almost like the confusion one experiences after abruptly being roused from sleep, but he still felt tired, Was he still dreaming? The scent of flowers hung in the air, sitting in his nostrils, and the wind seemed to pick up speed hitting Collin in the face with a small gust. It seemed the very land was begging for the boy to get up, it didn't take him long to comply as he slowly and groggily opened up his eyes.

Collin blinked away the sleepiness fogging up his mind as he took in his surroundings. He found himself breathless as he found himself in a large clearing surrounded by trees, and filled with flowers of all sorts of different colors, and sizes. It was beautiful, but he must have been dreaming, he had too. There was nothing quite like this anywhere in the bleak grey city he's called home for the last few years. He shook his head, trying to dispel the ache deep in the back of his head. If this was a dream than why in the world did it feel so real?

Looking around some more he found a small pond, he ran to it, stumbling as he moved. Something wasn't right, he could feel it as he hobbled toward the liquid salvation, but could not quiet know what. His head was still so foggy, and he found it hard to think clearly. When he finally reached the water, he drank deeply, and dunked his head into the blue hoping to clear his mind. When he emerged Collin found himself staring wide eyed at his reflection. It looked like him but something was off, it was his ears. They looked strange, almost like a horse's. He stood up in fright, and finally he saw. His lower body was gone. Well not gone but replaced perhaps by that of a horse's with a brilliant grey, and black coat.

Collin let out a frightened scream, as he looked over himself. "What the hell is going on? I woke up in some strange place, I'm some kind of centaur thing, and I'm completely naked! No shirt or anything? I must be dreaming. This has to be a dream! But if this is a dream than why does it feel so real?" This didn't make any sense. Waking up in such a strange place, as some kind of centaur? It was ridiculous but he found himself feeling scared and nervous at the unknown of all this. He had to get out of here. Looking around he saw what looked like some kind of exit or cave, covered by a mass of vines and trees, they were large and and thick looking but it was better than just standing here doing nothing.

He was about to walk over to the mass of vines before finally realizing how odd this body felt. There was a large weight to him like he never felt before, and the existence of two extra legs made him feel off, and unbalanced. He looked towards his destination an uncertain expression scrawled across his face. "Come on Collin. You've been riding horses your entire life! This can't be that different can it?"

He started to move carefully, one hoof at a time, trying to get a feel for his strange body. At first it started out shaky and uncoordinated, with him almost falling on his face one time, and actually falling over another. Though once he righted himself, and tried just a few more times, he seemed to at least be able to move well enough with out tripping over himself. Once he was sure he could move without too much trouble he started moving at a gallop towards the vines.

Once he made his way there before even touching any of the vines or rocks blocking his path, he spotted a bow, and a quiver full of arrows peacefully resting upon the rock formation. It looked useful enough, and stuck in such an odd place it was better than nothing. The now centaur like creature rested no time in picking them up and slinging them over his shoulders.

With that out of the way he attempted to find a way past the vines to no avail. He stomped a hoof down in frustration and turned his back on the vines trying to figure out what to do next. To his surprise once he turned around, he found the vines calmly positioning himself, allowing Collin access.

He found himself in a cave that seemed to stretch out for miles. With a sigh he mad his way through. Fortunately the cave formation was wide and spacious so he didn't feel too terrified as he galloped through the cave. Upon his exit he found himself out by some kind of river. He looked around and yet couldn't find a soul. This wasn't good, being alone here. He needed to find someone even if that meant having to talk to a bunch of strangers. And who knows what kind of people he'd end up finding here. Even so he called out somewhat awkwardly in his surrounding area."Um hello? Is anyone out there? I"m kinda lost here! Any help would be really appreciated!"
