I was jolted awake by a sharp burning sensation. As I tried to orient myself, I quickly realized I was surrounded in complete darkness. Was I blind? Had they clawed my eyes out? It was a definite possibility. After all, the wild tribe of Theos that captured me wasn't exactly known for its hospitality. Elias, my mother had sternly warned if you journey to the Caos region for that elixir, you cannot blame anyone but yourself for not coming back. She was right. My people had long avoided the Caminos region for the existence of the the tribe alone. Not even our most powerful dragons dared to enter their territory. If you don't give a fly and flip about your own fate, my father chimed in then you should at least take responsibility for that. Their dragon of yours with this thought. Echoing in my mind, I started looking all around for Foia, the young loyal dragon who had accompanied me on this journey was just as reckless and brave as I was bravery or stupidity rather was the common trait we had both shared since birth, man and beast in perfect harmony. We were my only hope was that he had somehow gotten away. Finally, my eyes began to adjust to the blackness. The cold jagged outlines of a cell were now in view, my head pulsed and pounded with pain. Had I been struck in the head? I reached for my rucksack only to find it was resting on the ceiling far above me. That can't be right. I muttered in confusion. I attempted to move my legs and laughed in spite of myself as I comprehended the predicament I was in, I was, in fact, hanging from the ceiling with dirty ropes wrapped tightly around my bleeding ankles. There was no way this would end well, silence. The oppressive overwhelming silence was the first thing Virgil noticed as he crawled out of the massive spacecraft, it was his first job working outside the safety of the journey and nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to experience you feeling. All right there, buddy. The booming voice coming through. Virgil's communicator belonged to Ross, the steadfast leader of the fly program. He was bold and fearless to a degree which intimidated Virgil. I, I'm, I, I'm fine. Virgil uttered with great difficulty. It's, it's so quiet out here. All I can hear is my own blood pumping through my head. It's, it's so loud, you'll get used to it. Ross's fiance added in her usual playful tone. We all did eventually. The first walk is always the hardest if there was anyone Virgil wanted to impress. It was her despite her being several ranks above him and already happily engaged to Ross. Virgil had loved Stella since she first recruited him for the Fly program. Three years ago, no one had ever seen past his bookish exterior the way she had for the first time in his life. Someone saw his talents and capability rather than his slight build and round spectacles. Just don't faint. Ross joked. The last guy who did that stopped breathing and nearly died. But the point is he didn't Stella quickly interjected, just trust your instincts and you'll be fine. It was at that very moment when Virgil realized the tether keeping him from floating into the endless vacuum of space had been purposefully severed. In retrospect, I had the world at my feet. I came from an upstanding family that had moved mountains to provide a quality education for me, surrounded by friends and with countless opportunities in front of me, I had everything a young person could hope for in life. The trouble wasn't what was going on around me. The trouble was what was going on in my head. You never forget looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself. You never mute the suffocating thoughts that remind you that you'll never be good enough or how you'll never achieve what you're dreaming of. All this negativity seems to grow year after year, like weeds in a garden. Well, what if I told you you could actually be set free from these burdens. What if I told you that it wasn't too late to start living your healthiest happiest life I can because that's what I discovered for myself. My journey to inner peace began 10 years ago while I was studying abroad in Japan. It was an eye opening experience for a guy who had never even been on an airplane before. On that first evening in the new country. I remember standing completely hypnotized in the center of Shibuya crossing with thousands of feet traversing the famous location daily. It is indisputably the world's busiest pedestrian crossing. And as I stood there in the heart of the crowd, it was as if time had suddenly stood still like lyrics from an old song. I had long forgotten. I could feel the words as if they were being whispered gently in my ear. Life is but a passing moment.
