Why was she so calm about this? That's what I thought as Kirstin stood in the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink?" She asked.
"No, I'm fine."
She looked at me with a worried face. She came over to me and kissed my cheek. "It's going to be ok."
I shook my head and pushed her away. "it's just not that easy Kirst. I'm Master, and I have let my people down." I passed by her and looked out the window. "Some people have actually become allies with Ahriman, since they get more power then the servants."
"We'll think of something. The amulet holders will help. We just gotta make sure everyone is safe." She assured me.
"Nobody is safe."
"Joshua, stop thinking negative."
"How can I not!" I said with a raised voice. I stepped over into the other room. "Maybe I should just go to bed."
First of all, it's bad when you can't fall asleep, but its worst when you finally do, you get nightmares. I have always been the one to have dreams, usually they mean things. Right now, I really didn't need dreams to tell me about the world.
My dreams always felt so real, maybe since they might be in the astral plane. My spirit likes to leave my body a lot.
I walked down the street. What street was it? I couldn't tell, but I've been here. At the end of the road, there was a normal house, but the lights were on, unlike the others, but they were bright blue.
I went toward it, but why? I touched the knob. Inside, it looked like a normal house, and the light were no longer blue. Whose house was it? So, then, I went to the closet. As I opened it, I notice it wasn't a closet, there was a staircase going down. At then end, in the pitch black, there was a small blue orb. Why was it all blue?
I ran down the staircase, but I didn't get any closer to the orb. I kept going. My legs started to feel numb. I stopped and suddenly the orb was in front of me. I tried to touch it, but I couldn't.
Then I glanced at my hand. There was blood drawing from my palm. I had a X shaped cut. Then on my other hand, there was a cut that looked like a deformed E. Then the X started to become a K. What was this?
I gazed back up again; there was a brick wall, covered with blood. The room was cold. I had trouble breathing, and a figure came to me at the corner of my eye. It was humanoid shaped, and there, its eyes, were an icy bright blue. It jumped right into me and I felt a blade slice into my side.
I screamed but made no sound. I had never had a nightmare like this. Please, I need to go back to my body. Why, I just need to. I knew I was in the astral plane. Please! I screamed, but nothing cam out still. The eyes blinded me.
I jolted, my heart pounded, and all the world crashed down on me.
I screamed, and for real this time, I felt it, and heard it. Now I was back in my body, bounding myself out of bed.
Kirstin jumped up too. "What! Joshua! What's wrong, are you okay?"
I settled down, feeling my heart pound in my chest.
You really couldn't see the late morning sky with all the darkness clouds. I passed by the shops. There wasn't a joyous energy like there always was. I saw a child, she was alone. When I came up to her, she stepped back in fear.
"Where are your parents?"
"My mommy told me to stay here." She said
"Oh, can I help you?" I offered.
"No… just go away." She retorted looking to the ground.
Why couldn't I help anyone? It was like nobody wanted my help. But I was the only one that could do anything.
I watched one of Ahriman's generals command peoples what to do. He was wearing gray and black armor like the other allies wore. He glanced at me and snarled.
"What pity this is. But you better leave unless you want to get hurt. Better yet that you should know, Ahriman wants you dead. But I can't do anything since I have no orders." He told me.
"Like that would matter, you can't kill me."
"I think that Ahriman could. But more allies are coming, we have told that the people have three options; become servants, or allies, who have more power, or you'll die."
"I already know." I shook my head
"But what have you chosen, Master?" He mocked as he pushed me away and walked away.
