Matthew lay on his side, the carpet underneath him saturated with his body heat. This was one of the softest and most comfortable pieces of furnishing fabric he had ever felt, and yet he could not help but wonder if it were real or not. Several months ago he had been exploring in a cave that he and his best friend Tyler loved to hang out in, and clumsily fell into a seemingly bottomless pit. The fall seemed to go on forever, but he landed in a body of salt water that happened to be right outside of the city of Beinost.
At first Matthew could not believe it; he had written on Althanas so many times before but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he would actually walk in the world itself. Althanas was a fictional realm, so it was impossible that one could find themselves in it as an actual dimension- or so it was thought. Shortly after arriving, to Matthew's surprise, he had run into his own character Gavner Nahs. Rashly he explained the situation and was very lucky that Gavner did not kill him. Gavner was going to kill him as a matter of fact, but Matthew uttered the vampire's middle name at the very last moment and made the character doubt himself. Matthew had almost died in a fantasy world at the hand of his own creation, but that was not the strangest thing that happened.
As he spent time with Gavner, they began to develop a bond unlike anything else. At first, it was a simple bond between the writer and the character- Gavner felt extremely potent emotions that Matthew felt, but it did not work the other way around. Then Gavner started to feel physical pain when Matthew felt it. It then grew as Gavner could feel little emotions and small aspects of daily life that Matthew felt. After that it became extreme; if Matthew concentrated on a single thought with all of his mind, it would pop into Gavner's mind as a completely random thought.
Up to this point, Matthew had yet to feel something Gavner felt. Maybe the character was linked to the writer because it was the creation rather than the creator, or maybe an even stronger bond would come in time. All these things left Matthew wondering in awe as he lay on the ground with his face on the rug. That was another thing about Althanas; it felt so real.
Matthew would have though that, being in a fantasy world, the experiences would be less than real. In actual reality the experiences felt even realer than back on Earth. Everything here was so much brighter and vivid. It was almost as if everything was much more potent and vibrant. The smells were highly concentrated, the tastes were robust, and sounds had a palpable stereo effect that made everything seem as if it were just bursting with life. Matthew's favorite part, however, were the colors. Every color was radiant and bursting with all kinds of energy. It was almost as if the objects had another atomic component that gave them tangible radiance of energy and power.
All of these had their downsides of course. Seeing as many parts of Althanas were chaotic and sinful, teeming to the brim with violence and deceit, there was a lot of negative energy floating around. There were mere cities or areas that would make Matthew depressed or scared senseless simply from walking near them. For this reason Matthew never left Gavner's side when traveling. He now lay on the floor of the best inn in Beinost. Gavner and he were traveling to meet Black Shadow, the vampire's best friend. Black Shadow, in fact, happened to be the character of Matthew's best friend Tyler. Back on Earth in the days of yore they would write threads with them all the time.
"Hey Gavner," Matthew said. It was day time and he was just itching to do something. Just lazing around thinking was killing him. "Can I go outside and look around?"
Gavner lifted the hat from his eyes and glanced over at Matthew with weary eyes. The nightwalker had been up all night prowling around while Matthew was fast asleep in the room. Gavner could not venture outside during the day because he was a vampire. If he was in the sun for a half hour he would become badly burned, and after 4 hours he would be a pile of ash.
"If that is what you wish," Gavner said sleepily. "But do not drain too much of your energy for tonight, we will be traveling by nightfall."
"Thanks Gav. I will be back by dinner time," Matthew said excitedly.
"Try not to get yourself killed. And be careful, remember when you get hurt it is not only you who feels the pain."
"All right I will be careful," Matthew said walking out the door. "I love you!" He called out hopefully.
When nothing came back Matthew quietly shut the door and walked down the hall. Soft light emanated throughout the corridors, highlighting the elegance of the inn. White and golden thread enriched impressive and calming tapestries on the light colored wooden walls. Marble tiles lined the floor underneath a rich red carpet that ran down the middle of the passageway. Reaching the end of the stretch Matthew descended a winding staircase and passed through the luxurious entryway. The foyer was as fancy as it got, for Beinost that is.
Although this entryway would be considered a backwoods and barbaric excuse for a structure in twenty-first century America, it was bursting with energy from the colors and decorations. Wooden benches and tables filled the lobby, along with mounts of big-game animals that Matthew had never seen before. Pictures of High Elves and heroes were on the walls and lanterns hung from the ceilings and burned brightly even though it was mid-day. This was presumably the safest place that Matthew could be in the city of Beinost.
After exiting the city Matthew began to look around. The greenery and vegetation radiated a deep green and with content energy, happy to soak up the sun. A forest was not far from the wall, and Matthew soon found himself running through the forest. The trees made him happy, watching over the surrounding area and keeping him safe. After awhile he came across the mouth of a cave. There was something mystical and mysterious about this entrance. It seemed as if there was just something inside, waiting to be discovered. Something that would cause him even greater joy than he took in the forest...
