In the Name of the Wind

Dustan's mind was determined to make him loose his strength. Frankly, if Dustan does not understand and solve what is going on he will kiss his brain goodbye.

Wild animals were appearing from nowhere. A forest covered the place. Everything seemed normal. Dustan was walking through the woods. He saw a weird looking mountain with a rock floating over its entrance. He walked closer and tried to get inside the mountain. The guts of that mountain were dark, wet and cold. Dustan made his way through that place with a feeling that he would find something.

Music was being played, and sad voice was singing:

" Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried, a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear babe

Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say, you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly out of my head
While you never shed a tear babe
Remember, remember, all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you".

Dustan was in shock. He followed the sound and found an opening through the hard walls of the mountain. The sound and the singing got louder. Dustan looked for something sharp to make the opening bigger so he can pass through it.

After a decent while he did find a knife-like stone and crashed the wall. The smell was strange. It felt like the air was mixed with blood scent. A red river crossed the woods, and an enormous tree centered the river. Huge branches reached the clouded sky, and a single bird house was leaning from the closest branch.

Dustanlost every feeling of fear. He was curious. He walked to the river, strippedfrom his clothes and jumped into the water. He swam and swam. In every second hefelt that he was getting closer to the tree, unfortunately he was not. It wasclear that the singing was coming from the bird house; however it was notunderstandable why.
