MYSTIC MAN

Location

While walking along the rugged roads of the upper north land.....I met and odd fellow on this road ......That said he was a mystic man....Now I'm not dumb and I under stand the powers that behold a mystic man......And if this was truly to be it was something I had to see....Now this mystic man stood seven foot tall covered in leaves from early fall.....Mud on his body every where and were the was no mud there was hair......Although this mystic man that was built and dressed like a tree not once did he frighten me.....Now with a quiet voice this giant of a man....Said come with me and I'll show you my land....So off we walked into the trees because that is where he lives you see.....He explained to me hoping I would understand...That he was there to learn from the forest and live of the land......To communicate with nature beyond the understanding of man.......And share the stories of the animals with the touch of his hand....Then I spoke and said all of this is fascinating to me......And I would like to stay for the night you see to learn more about your creed........And with a huge smile he looked at me shook his head yes I agree.....I told him that the temperature was dropping me..... And it looked like a early winter storm to be.....And I need some where to stay warm ....In order to ride out this cold tempered storm.....Then before I finished with my request you see...... Standing  right in front of me was a pile of fresh pine trees .....All in a circle these trees was laid around perfection from the top to the ground......Then he said there's a hole here lets go inside for this is the place we will hide.....And for you to stay warm and get you out of this early winter storm.....When we entered I said it's dark in here...He replied my friend there's no need to fear..... And with a snap of his finger to my surprise the flames on the candle wicks did rise......As we sat in this illuminated room he said he lived in the forest to escape mans doom.....Then he poured a strange smelling drink that he had by his side .....And said If you have the courage I'll take you for a ride ....Drink the potion down slow and to the mystic world we will go......The more I drank this potion down I felt my body leave the ground.....Taking me away to this mystic land showing me the out come of future man.....I seen how they had no respect for our mother .....Cutting down all the trees and even poisoning the fresh waters and seas...Living off the flesh of man like the vultures in the desert lands......I screamed please take me out of hear the thing I see I do fear....And before I could wipe the tears from my face....... I was back at the mystic mans place.....He could tell I was horrified by the look on my face.....And said he was sorry for showing me this place.....But you had to see the things that I know ....So you can teach the people where ever you go......To make the people understand ......They must honor and protect the land or it will be the end of man...So when the long night was over and the sun was on the rise.... This mystic man disappeared right before my eyes.....So if your ever walking the upper north don't be surprised .....If the mystic man appears right before your eyes....
