CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - A Light In The Black (AUDIO: [link])

I wake up with the feeling of one thousand needles piercing my brain. My sight is blurry and every part of my body aches. I see Barbaras and Petras face in front of me. "He's awake!" they shout unisono. I try to get up. Kelley and Carl help me and I manage to lean on a rock with trembling legs. Something is very strange here ... I look around and see all my brave friends standing near me. "Is everybody OK?" I ask. "Yes." Carl answers. "But ...". His voice dies and I notice all the sad faces around me. After a few seconds, I realize, what's wrong. Every color has disappeared from this world! I thought, thisw was because of my hit on the head, but it is real .As far as we can see, everything is only black and white and every beauty vanished from the face of the earth. We were too late. In the end, the creatures won. With grief and sadness in our hearts, we head towards the bottom of the mountain to return home. After a while, L. grabs his camera and stops. "What are you doing?" I ask him. "I'm taking a photo! It seems, the black and white pictures are way easier to make now." he says with a bitter smile. takes a few shots and reviews them on the camera monitor. Suddenly, he stopps and his face is startled. He comes to me and says "Man! Look at this! I thought, it was a pixel fault or my eyes are tricking me. But there is a red flower in this picture!". I can't believe it. There is a colored object in this photo! We tell everybody to stopand go to the place, where the flower should be. Petra finds it first. "Look at this! What does that mean?". A sudden deep voice makes us turn around in astonishment "I can explain this, brave wanderers:" I don't believe me eyes! Only a few steps away, a human shape appears, half translucent and surrounded by an unnatural aura. "Have no fear my friends. I won't do you any harm.". "Who are you?" Carl asks bewildered. "I was an artist, just like you. But now, I am the phantom ([link]) of these hills. The creatures murdered me a long time ago and my spirit wandered the mountains here for years. You achieved a great victory today!". Aurel raises his voice. "But everything is black and white! We destroyed them, but we are doomed to live in this monochrome world forever!". "Not forever my friend. It is right, that the creatures have destroyed the beauty of this work. But this flower is the proof of hope! It regained its color, because somebody was creative and prooved a love for art. This brought back some of the colors in this world, that the art thieves destroyed.". "Does that mean, all we have to do is being creative and create new pictures to get everything right again?" Sebastien asks. "Yes, indeed. The thieves have done all this, because they 've stolen the ideas and minds of artists like you! You can make this world a colorful and beautiful place again. All you have to do is being creative.". The apparition pauses for a moment. "My work here is done, beloved artists and dear friends. Now, I can rest in peace. Never forget - YOU make this world a better place!". The appearance fades into dust and wind and is gone, like it has never existed. For a few moments, nobody dares to move. Then, like to an invisible and unhearable signal, everybody fishes out cameras, pencils and paper out of their backbacks and starts working.
