Infusco Somnium part II

I think I had fallen asleep for when I unclosed my eyes again it was all dark and moon had replaced the sun... the smooth rays of moonlight rested upon the treetops... it was all dark down here. I got up keeping my balance by holding to that grey trunk against which my head had rested during my slumber. It was all still blurry and my head felt dim and heavy like after awakening from a deep yet short rest... I stood there with my eyes digging the ground and my hand on a carved trunk of a tree that seemed older than dozen lifetimes of a man. After a time that seemed like decade of minutes, but could have been more or less as the head of mine still felt heavy like in a slumber, I had gathered courage to release the old man and a will for a try to move forward on my own. My legs felt like they were of rusted metal and cement put together and my feet like a couple of bricks that lay in a wall of a stronghold but somehow I managed to move on the two one step at the time. I had no idea where am I so I can't tell you where I was going... just moved between the trees around the bushes with a hope to get somewhere sooner or later. After meters five times hundred or so some life started to fill within my legs and by every step they seemed less and less like rusted nails and more like ones with bone and flesh. Also my head was becoming lighter and my mind less dim. I was starting to awake from that slumber of mine. But still all was dark. I gazed up and between the branches and over the tree tops a pale disk gazed down on my and somehow I felt like a guard was somewhere near. Even more courage now filled myself as I knew I was not alone.
