    About this ebook

    Alwon's longing transports him into an other-worldly dimension. In these realities of Over-world, This World, and the Netherworld, he encounters an array of archetypal beings, which include Spirit animals and Bird-people. Following him on his voyage is his shadow side, for which he must find resolution. His last challenge is to discover his way out of a maze of caves which are the bodies of dragons. In the end, the resolution of his spirit journey depends on acceptance from unexpected help outside himself.

      Alwon in Another World - Michael A. Susko

      CHAPTER ONE

      Another World

      Alwon found himself in another world, not from some device, nor a dream, or a drug-induced state. It was, it seemed, by a longing, a desire matched by a power which acceded to his wish. He remembered meditating by an unusual shaped rock and experiencing light and warmth that came from the rock. Something else had happened, but he couldn’t remember what. When he arrived at the other world, he wondered if there would be a problem getting back. But he decided it was too early to worry about returning when he had just arrived.

      At first glance it had looked like earth. The air was red and hued like a desert, but the temperature was cool and the light left curious shadows. A meadow was filled, not with grass, but geometrically shaped plants, none of which he had seen before. Something else was unusual. The  light didn’t seem to come from above or below, but from the rocks or plants themselves. He laughed at the thought of light, rather than shadows, coming from things.

      It’s curious, he said out loud, taking a step which felt much lighter than his weight should have allowed. The land didn’t seem to pull from below, but in all directions at once. Decidedly strange here, Alwon thought, but a pleasant strangeness.

      Following the gaps in the plant clusters, he brushed soft and spongy growth, still holding its geometric shapes, which unnerved him because it felt like flesh. He almost expected to hear the plants scream, but there was utter silence and calm, as if nothing could go wrong in this world. Any darkness, he thought, would be absorbed by this lightness of being.

      At one point he felt so delighted that he tasted a plant. But after he reached down and pulled at a curled furl of a leaf, he heard a whistle, like a warning. An amphibious-looking creature, but one with fine hair, peered from the top of the unfurled leaf.

      Excuse me, said Alwon, drawing back.

      I know your type, the animal answered. You’re caught up in the light and don’t care whose home you destroy. Watch what you do, else you run into Be-under!

      Who’s Beunder? asked Alwon, but the creature had dropped off, disappearing into the undergrowth. He stared at the plant, wondering if an animal had appeared at all, or if the plant had temporarily taken on animal form.

      I best be careful, Alwon realized. There must be different rules in this world.

      Ahead, a thin greenish line wound like a snake and dipped into a valley. I can have some water at least. It won’t do to eat plants that can change into animals.

      The brook plants rustled along its banks, as if in greeting. The water was pure and filling, like food. Alwon laid down––careful not to disturb the plants––for a profound drowsiness had come over him. Wondering what minerals the water held, Alwon fell into a dreamy sleep filled with images exotic as the world he was in.

      When he woke, a warm light rushed through his head, leaving him totally refreshed. For a few moments, Alwon wondered where he was. Then he realized he was in a new world, where he felt that nothing, or almost nothing, could go wrong.

      Alwon got up, stretched, then noticed something at his side. A creature with glossy red hair over its body lay near him with its eyes open. It was a strange mix of kingdoms. Its toes and fingers were elongated, expanding into plant-like pod growths. Added to this was an undefined element, suggesting that other powers were present for which Alwon could only guess.

      Are you Beunder?

      Some call me that, answered the creature, a piercing wildness in its eyes searching him. It lifted its pod fingers, their unhooking from stones making a popping noise. It accentuated the strangeness, for the creature’s words had a curious stereo effect coming from around him.

      I come from Beyond and Under. You may call me Beyonder; some say Beunder. Few come to this world, though they may skirt its edges. How do you find yourself here?  

      Alwon replied to the perfectly reasonable question, although it came from an alien-like animal whose body was covered by fine red hair and its eyes were deep green––in what seemed like a mismatch.

      I was laying by a rock dreaming, then woke up here. Yes, I remember some more.... I had fallen, I think. Maybe I hit my head. I feel real enough here, but I think my body is still back on earth.

      Longing takes one far, the creature remarked. And a hit on the head can accelerate things. But what powers do you think brought you here?

      I don’t know, replied Alwon, although it seemed he should.

      You will need help to survive here, the creature went on. "This world has a dark side."

      There’s danger here?

      One shouldn’t stay close to the rim for long, said Beyonder, peering at the horizon. We must go deeper into the world to survive.

      Maybe I should go back home?

      Once in a world, you must first find out what it wants from you, Beyonder replied. You shouldn’t skip a world once it presents.
