Ruble: A Short Story

1582 Words7 Pages

Dreams I realized sucked, exspecially if they were mine. I stood in Hyrule field, ahead of me was a castle in ruble. It was not the same castle that I saw while crossing hyrule field only days before. This castle was smalled and smoldering with flames that ravaged anything in touched. The castle was more ancient than any bone left in the soil. The once smooth rock was pitted and scarred from flames. In this hallowed and ancient site, the trees have seen the centuries blow past in the winds of each season and witnessed the folly of many struggles. Walls stood mute, water awaited the call of the wind to ruffle and move as molten glass of deepest green. Grey stone rised from the land, unapologetic and bold to defy entrance and protect what …show more content…

The tell-tale signs were still there. Wagons and stands that were now in pieces lined were streets once were, they must have had a market day. A large fountain that was remarkably untouched stood in the middle of disaster. Ahead, I saw a woman, who looked about six months pregnant, and two men standing in the middle of the destroyed square in silence. When I got closer, I realized she had Darendal attached to her waist. One of the men, I realized, was a younger version of Rusl, who could only be around 20 years old. He had no beard and his hair was a startling dirty blonde color, he almost looked like …show more content…

A whole week that went by in seconds. During that time I came to know the children from Ordon well. Colin, I learned, was wild for adventure yet he was shy to admit it. He would constantly sparr with Link in the town with an unparralelled vigour. Beth, was a girl who didn't really care for the learnings of the world. She wanted nothing more but to become a wife and have children. There was nothing wrong with that. It just suprised me. Malo, had grand ideas for the future for someone so small. He was an entrepanuar I realized like many of the people that I knew on earth. In the cold night air I sat on a small cliff overlooking the town and kept to my thoughts. I thought of the dreams that I had been having. First was the dream with the mist and the second was about Rusl and two other people. What did it all mean? It had to have meant something. People normally didn't dream of places and people they had never seen before. It struck me how a young Rusl was so much like the person that I had met recently. I was glad that he had settled down and found a wife just like he promised his two friends. He had achieved his dream and that somehow sent me a rush of joy for

A gorgeous island rises from the foaming sea, the leaves of its deep green palms dancing in the wind. A mountainous monument, teeming with life and pure, uncontaminated beauty; it symbolizes the purity of nature and peaceful, repetitive rhythms of life that mother nature muses herself with. Over the course of a few months this island of life is reduced to a charred layering of soot and ash.

He felt as if he were waking up from a long forgotten dream. A dream he’d once had as a little boy (Page 1, paragraph 1).” This reminded me of a time in my life when it felt like everything was a dream.

Not only she is someone who tries to manipulate her family, she is the main reason of her family’s death. There were parts of the story that showed her character. For instance, “ in my time…, children were more respectful of their native states and their parents”, as she said this she sounds reasonable to believe, but it does not end there.

Dreams can be very persuasive and uplifting as well as discouraging, in the right moments.

While reading this short story about his third dream, you get the sense that this could only happen in a dream because of it spooky image and weirdness. An example of the symbolism used can be seen in the use of the blind boy as a way to project the burden of the past or a reminder of this character’s past. Some metaphors can be found in the lines, “They were scarlet like the stomach of a newt” as well as “The boy stuck to my back was reflecting, like a mirror…” Imagery abounds in the ways you can visualize in your mind how creepy the scene would look like as in this section of text, “I kept walking, aiming wordlessly at the woods. The path kept winding through the fields, so it was difficult to get

Small, stagnant puddles, on the uneven planks of timber wood reflected the dark, brooding sky above - rarely disturbed by the callous slices of moonlight seeping through the clouds, creating a specular reflection through a ripple in the languid water. Surrounding the lake, lay a rigid, pine forest, which stretched far past the mountainous boundaries - rising high, around the solitary lake. A death-like mist pervaded through the trees enveloping them in a gelid, cutting fog. A silent, lonely willow shivered as the still, biting air engulfed its aged branches in an icy cage and suffocated its stiffened lungs, causing each freezing breath to drag. Crusted leaves stacked one on top of the other as
