Prologue
I stood on the shoulder of the giant Robot on which I lived. I was attempting to look down at Shuggazoom City, but I was failing. It wasn't because I had bad eyesight . . . no, it was because of the fog that had settled over Shuggazoom. It was also kind of cold out . . . so I felt like an idiot wearing short sleeved pajamas. And Nova wasn't going to be happy . . . she hated the cold. A cold breeze blew by. I shivered. I needed to get warm. It was also night out. I needed to be getting to bed. But . . . yet for some reason I couldn't. It wasn't because I wasn't tired, because I was.
It was because I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't sleep. I shivered again. But this time it wasn't from the cold. It was because of that weird feeling. I sighed. I knew that I had to get up early because we needed extra training because we hadn't been getting much lately. Antauri was going to kill me if he found out I was staying up so late. I sighed.
I turned to go, but I couldn't help but risk one more glance at Shuggazoom City. I wanted to at least try to make out some sort of shape of a building or something out of it. I found that sometimes, looking at the city when it was peaceful, and not destroyed, that it calmed me down if I was upset, or if I couldn't sleep, or if I was angry . . . and it also helped me relax . . . and it was just a beautiful city. But, I made nothing out. I knew I probably wouldn't have, but it was disappointing all the same. I went inside, feeling disappointed.
I decided to settle for a snack or something. I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich. I drank some water and then went to bed. I lay down under the covers. I closed my eyes, the weird feeling still in my stomach. I tried to fall asleep and failed. So, I read for a while. But, when that didn't work, I tried pacing. Finally, I laid back down and forced my eyes to close, and then . . . finally, I fell into a blissful sleep. But it took several hours. It was probably around midnight before I actually went to sleep.
As I slept, I dreamed . . .
I was in a dark place. It looked like rocky mountains near a giant pit. There was no grass at all. It was completely barren of any life. I began to walk . . . but, not away like I wanted. I walked towards the pit instead. As I walked to the pit, I passed dead bodies. I shivered. None of the bodies looked like they were from this time period. They looked old . . . very old . . . I would have to ask Antauri about it later when I told him about the dream.
"Chiro . . . you . . . have . . . something . . . I . . . want," a hoarse voice said from the pit. It seemed old . . . and weak . . . It echoed across the land, and was made more powerful then it really was. A deathly cold breeze went through the barren wasteland. I shivered again.
"W-what could I possibly have that you want?" I asked. Somehow I knew that this voice was more powerful then Skeleton King. And I was scared. But I didn't understand why. He couldn't do anything. Could he?
"You . . . know . . . what . . . I . . . want . . ." he said creepily. I was reminded of a horror movie Sprx had watched once . . .
"N-no! I don't," I said honestly. I hated that I was showing fear . . . I hated stuttering.
I reached the pit and looked down, like an idiot. A pair of completely white eyes stared at me from the bottom of a pit . . . yet this pit was nothing like the Pit of Doom . . . yet it was familiar. "Mm . . . perhaps . . . not . . .yet . . . but . . . you . . . will . . . Chiro . . . You . . . will . . . soon . . . you . . . and . . . your . . . monkey . . . team . . ."
I shook my head. "N-no . . . you're imprisioned! You can do nothing to harm us!" I said firmly, truly believing in my words . . . even if I wasn't so sure they were true.
He laughed. It was cold, and cruel. "You . . . will . . . find . . . out . . . just . . . how . . . wrong . . . you . . . are . . . boy . . . when . . . you . . . train . . tomorrow . ." He grinned like the Cheshire cat and disappeared. I was left alone for a few moments before I awoke.
I awoke feeling cold and scared. But I couldn't figure out what had scared me about that dream. It was just a dream. I got up and went back to the top of the Robot. As I looked down, I saw that the fog had increased. I shivered, as the cold had increased as well. I went back inside, mentally telling myself it would be okay, that it had all been a dream . . . but deep inside, I knew that I was wrong. I went back to bed.
Tauria: Mm . . . that was interesting . . . please tell me what you think! :DD
