Hey everyone, welcome! There's more information about this little story in chapter 1 and don't be surprised, the prologue is short and the story begins slow;) But it's going to be dramatic. Have fun!
Prologue: STRANGE THINGS, CALLED DREAMS
They say when we dream, our deepest wishes become reality. Dreams show the innermost desires of a person, no matter how selfish they might be. If you dream, you create your own world, controlled only by yourself. This world follows the dreamers will in every detail. Dreams reveal, what you don't want to accept about yourself. But this dream was the strangest one I've ever had. And you should know that some parts of my life could have been arising from a dream...
It was dark and cold. Darkness covered my eyes, turned everything I saw in shadows and made the outlines become blurred. I was blind, helpless and lonely inside the black. But anyway, though I should be anxious, should be afraid of what was there in the darkness with me, my heart was pumping calm and evenly. Because it wasn't connected to real things, didn't fear darkness or light and didn't need to see clear. My heart saw better than my eyes had been able to.
And it saw the shadow falling out of the sky, how it broke through the cloud cover dragging a veil behind him in the moonless night, as if the clouds decided to follow him. Obsered how he lightly touched the grass and looked up to my window, as if he'd know where I was. And suddenly he was standing next to my bed and my heart started beating faster, because it knew, felt, who was there next to me, watching me in the dark. Then I saw through the mist. This time with my eyes. A coat was blowing around him, like a quiet wind was sneaking through the room. And as fast as my eyes had opened, they closed again, the light of the stars outside expired and I drifted into the fog again.
…
Then a silent rustle. A rustle of wind. Darkness again. Silence again. Something warm on my cheek. Textile nestled comfortable and soft on my skin, like a warm, protecting hug...
…
An intoxicating, soothing smell...a fresh breeze...rustling leafs inside deep forests...silent mist over wide plateaus...
…
„Yumemi…Take care of our both worlds for me. I'll protect what's important to me. And I'll come back...one day. Until this day, stay in your world. Live the life you always wished for. Be a normal human. Tell nobody who you are. Nobody may know it, do you understand? It would only bring you in danger...You may never forget...As long as we look out for tomorrow, the future will not come to an end. As long as we don't give up, hope will always be there."
After that it became cold again. He went away. Left me alone in the dark and suddenly it wasn't peaceful anymore. It became icy cold, wind whipped me hard and it felt like spikes on my skin and with every step he left, my mind became clearer. Got rid of the icy claws and forced me out of the dark.
Two golden eyes in the darkness, a window creaked, cold wind touched my skin like a disturbing consoling gesture and the shadow disappeared between the clouds.
I sat up instantly, hand raised, only one thing in mind. He shouldn't go. Not again. Not him.
„MUNTO!"
Yeah, that's it. Hopefully I managed to arouse your interest and you keep on reading!
