It was nearing on ten when Alexander awoke, why he couldn't tell but sleep just seemed impossible right now. Too much was going on for him to close his eyes and forget about all of it and so he needed something else to do that for him. He thought about it for a moment before deciding a walk was the best option if he wanted to tire himself out... He got up and opened the dorm to his dorm room quitely before tiptoeing to the exit.
He shut the door behind himself and walked out into what was the courtyard. It was a cloudless night and without the light pollution from nearby Domino it would have been a wonderful sight. Back home in Oz the stars were a part of daily life. You looked up at night and saw what could be millions staring back at you.... here you saw a hundred or so... just breaking through the light from nearby skyscrapers.
He hadn't walked far when he slipped on something, almost falling flast on his arse... When he got up he saw the cause of his stumble had rolled a few metres away. It glistened with a red hue in the darkness and somehow just seemed to call out to him. He reached out for it a clasped his hadn around the warm little trinket. How something radiated such warmth on such a cool night he did not know. But it intrigued him, he placed the gemstone in his pocket and continued on his way, sleep just didn't want to come to him it seemed. |
