'The Old Magic'
It's getting late. Not so late in the sense of time but rather that of light. The road takes me further through the hills. I'm riding aware of the cold, thinking of where to stop for a cup of coffee. A smoking dwarf jumps on the road and waves me to stop. Impressed by his openness and in absolute awe of the magic that he's yielding, I pull over.
I find myself in a spot where true becomes unreal and non-existent takes over the senses. The signs are clear, there is no doubt. Old Croatian magic is present in this place. That art that hasn't been used publicly for centuries but still remains alive within the population. Some people just know how to work spirits in their favour.
The dwarf shows me the way to the other side of the bridge. Bound by his powers, I obediently follow. The bridge is old and creeky. At some point, I ask myself if this was a good idea. The dwarf smiles and waves to move on. As I cross, I find some more irrefutable evidence to what I already know. The cold sweat rolls off my forehead even though it is cold and I shouldn't be sweating.
The dwarf smiles and introduces me to a buddy of his. The dwarf holding the accordion greets me, smiles and then starts playing cheerful music as if he wants to make me feel better in this strange place. I know what's next. A crowd of their brothers and sisters will soon appear and take me to the place from which no man returns as it is eternally spellbound. Am I scared? Yes, I am. There is no shame in that...
Then, their plan reveals. As if woken up, I leave the little tricksters and run back to my motorcycle. The dwarfs were merely helping a ghost steal my bike. Well, maybe not steal but try how it feels sitting on it. The ghosts don't steal bikes, not even the bad ones. Didn't see that coming...
I don't mind him trying it out but why use all that magic just to sit on Precious? :D I guess ghosts have their earthly needs. There are far than a few things between heavens and earth. Was enough to just ask. :D
Enjoy your day! :-)
