The Majestic Archway


The Majestic Archway stands ahead.

After months of walking, searching, for this gateway to the Realm Beyond, I find it to be smaller than I imagined… and not as impressive. Where’s the gold? Where are the ornate statues? And it seems to be a little overgrown. It’s hardly an impressive sight for such a powerful portal. Obviously, my mind had imagined something far greater.

Still, the sky looks blue and bright and clear on the other side.

All I need to do now is cross the bridge and walk on through. The way ahead looks clear.

It seems too easy.

    Tread carefully, Tom, it looks like there might be a long drop the other side. Or maybe you’ll just float?

      I wonder if I’ll cross that bridge, Chris? I may revisit this at a later date…

    Seems a bit scary to me! Perhaps, a trap?

      It’s best to remain cautious methinks, Eugenia. And everyone else too, it seems!
