Short Story: Lewa's Arrival

   Wind.
   The first sensation he could feel.
   The being's eyes fluttered open for the first time. Looking around, he found himself inside a clear spherical rock. He could move his arms and head around, but it was too cramped inside for him to actually move.
He looked through where he was to find fluffy, white things flying alongside him. Clouds, he thought. He had no idea why that word appeared in his mind, but he somehow knew that that was what those soft things were.
   Curiously, he reached a hand out of a hole in the sphere to touch this strange substance. A part of the cloud detached from its bigger neighbor and swirled around the figure's hand. He experimentally flipped his hand around, causing the cloud to whip around his wrist. He laughed as it flew up his arm and past his neck. It tickled.
   He sighed deeply. He wanted to stay with the clouds; to forever play and fly through the misty canopy. To fall asleep surrounded by clouds, looking at the beautiful shapes they made as he drifted off. But although he didn't want to feel it, there was a feeling, deep within his heart. He realized this was not meant to be.
   Soon, an island came into view, coming in closer by the second. Within moments, the cloud had slipped out of his grasp, as well as the other clouds around him. They were growing farther and farther away.
   “Wait!” he cried, looking back at the fading clouds. But luckily, his moment of sadness was short-lived, becoming excitement as he turned to the rapidly growing land. A grin spread across his face. He let out a shout of pure exaltation, knowing that soon, he would be free of this cocoon, free to run and fly wherever the wind would take him.
   A green comet fell and crashed upon the island of Okoto.
   Climbing out of the crater he had made, he saw multiple beings surrounding him. They were all much smaller than him, but there was one slightly taller than all of them in the front. “I am Vizuna,” the leader said, eyes twinkling. “Welcome, Lewa, Master of Jungle.”

I feel terrible for not updating this. Sorry, guys.
