I am playing a video game.
...my awareness enters the game...
I am traveling through a canalled city with a group of children. Small winged faeries fly through out the city. Every time a feary approaches, one of the kids needs to hit the L1 button on his controller. Doing so will cause it to be hit by a magic stone. Whenever a faery is hit by a magic stone it turns into a creature made of living shadows. As we move through the city I find a pattern on the brick walls. It is a spiral with an elongated tail. The spiral has 3 quarter-circles under the tail. Each quarter-circle smaller than the last. One of the kids announces we need to head to the opposite side of town.
"Okay."
We travel over bridges and through back alleys on our way to the other side of town. Eventually our trail stops at a ledge. To continue forward, we would have to jump off the ledge and land on the sidewalk down below. I do not want to jump but must continue on. I decide to try backtracking. I manage to find a different way to the ground. Unfortunately the way is guarded by a vicious dog.
