First we had a long drive to the airport.
Then we had a long flight.
Then I had a long think about the strange man in my dream...
Your probably want an explaination for that one huh?
5/Sep Morning
The light telling us to buckle up was flashing, there would be no going back now. I was moving from the big city to a small town with my family.
"Freddy?"
My younger brother:'Toy' Freddy ( his real name is .) He's my spitting image apart from his rosier cheeks, but he was like the complete opposite of me in terms of personality.
"Yeah?"
"Why are we moving? And why isn't Dad coming?"
I want to tell him. But I just can't. It's a wonder he hasn't figured it out by now.
"Don't worry about it for now. Did you take yourr sleeping pills?"
"Yeah..."
And there was my older brother, Golden as we all call him (I don't even know his real name.) He was blonde and thin, and was slouching in the seat in front of me, next to our mom. he was introverted and usually stayed alone on his computer doing god knows what. Everybody goes silent and I eventually drift into sleep...
"Welcome to the Velvet Room..."
I'm sat at the end of a long dinner table with blue cloth draped over it. There's a funny looking guy at the end with balding grey hair, bulging eyes and an impossibly long nose. There is a yonger man with silver hair in a strange blue suit and hat standing next to him.
"My name is Igor. And this is Scott." He motions to the man next to him, who bows as if I am royalty.
"Tell me...Do you believe in fortune telling?" He waves his arm across the table and cards appear out of nowhere! He turns one over, it has a picture of a man with a dog at his heels and a sack over his back.
"Ah yes... The Fool... Do not be offended, for this is no insult. The Fool is like the number 0, empty but with limitless possibilty." He turns another over to reveal a skull design...
"Death... Do not be alarmed. This card does not nessicarily mean you will die. It also means great change in your life."
"Enough predicting for now, I have to leave some suprise for you after all." Igor sweeps away the cards and somehow makes a contract appear in front of me.
"This contract only asks that you take responsibility for your actions. In return we shall give you a key, allowing you to return here anytime."
A contract?
Im already a pretty responsible person...Why not? It's just a dream after all.
I sign the contract and it vanishes into thin air.
"Very good... Now, your plane is almost ready to land. Take this key and guard it with your very life..."
I see a blue flash and feel something cold against my hand, but before I can look at it everything goes dark...
5/Sep Afternoon
I wake up to find Toy freaking out with Golden trying (and failing) to calm him down.
"He's a little...Excited..." Golden sighed.
"I noticed."
I recall my strange dream and think about it for a while.
Wait, the key! I dig arond in my pockets and find a golden key with a strange blue and silver design on top. I remember seeing the symbol on the back of Igor's cards.
"Attention passangers, please put on your seatbelts and prepare for landing."
So this is it.
I suppose this was the change Igor told me about, only question is if it's for the better or for the worse.
