The Prophecy
It was night. BB found himself in a forest. Between the sounds of the creatures running, flying, hunting and killing. The call of the wild. And that's when he saw.
One pair of eyes, hidden in the dark. They stared at him. Suddenly, they turned away, disappearing in the shadows.
"Hey, wait up!" the green guy yelled. Having no answer, he goes after those eyes or whatever was observing him.
"The chase wont take long. Soon as get into my cheetah form I'll…"
Nothing happened. The animal-changing hero maintained his original form. As a two legged, skinny, green, teenager.
"Great!" the green one cried ironically.
"Cant believe this. My powers never failed! What happened?"
He thought for a second.
"Ohhhhh! Now I remember! I fell asleep! So, I'm obviously dreaming!" Beast Boy declared with a foolish smile in his face.
Even in those circumstances, the dreamer still wanted to pursue whoever was observing him. So, he runs deep into the forest. As he went closer to her core, he starts feeling a bit weird.
"I'm…feeling funny. It looks like I'm being attracted to…something…"
Few seconds later, he sees in front of him a strange rock, like an obelisk, with strange marks on it. The place around that rock was an area with no trees, that described a circle and was illuminated by the moonlight.
The place looked a bit creepy, Beast Boy thought, but was also very beautiful.
"Wow. Cool. Having a weird dream until now. Umm… Probably because of all that junk food at dinner."
BB get a bit more closer to the rock. That was when he saw the symbols and drawings.
"What's this? Looks like a battle… Ancient warriors battling…"
Then he saw a demon-like monster draw on the stone.
"Trigon!"
He continued to watch the images. The warriors had won, and the evil was banished. There were no more draws of Trigon , but it started to appear pictures of a bird. A black bird.
"Raven? This is a weird dream, no doubt about that. Maybe I can discover a little more."
And he continued. Most of the draws were impossible to understand, because some had been removed by time, and others just too difficult for interpretation.
When BB thought that had read it all, he founds a most strange fragment of story.
It was a men, between two conflicting forces.
"It seems that he's divided by them. But in the end, he embraces one. But… which one?"
A twig is cracked in the ground. With this, he turns his backs in a rush and search for something in the woods.
For some brief moments, there was nothing. Then, a person walked out of the deep forest. Not enough to the moonlight reveals the face, and that concerned the green changeling.
"Who's there? Show yourself !"
"I would prefer to keep myself in the shadows. I mean no harm."
It was a woman's voice. It was full of calmness, and peace. Still, appearances can be deceptive.
"How can I trust you?"
There was silent for a few moments.
"You believe to be dreaming. It's true. But not as a product of your imagination."
"Figures…And what you're doing in my dream?"
"I've come to warn you. You are about to be part of a prophecy, with thousands and thousands years old…"
"Why's that?"
"Because you are the one that will change the tide of this war…"
"What war? When will it happen?"
"…You have a restless spirit young one. And too many questions to be answered now."
"Wait a second! This is confusing, I don't understand how…"
While BB spokes, the woman raises an arm and opens her hand. She blows at it, making the colourful dust in it fly into the air. During the talk of the changeling hero, he starts to feel dizzy and sleepy.
"Please, forgive me. You need to get back to your world…"
"No…wait just aaaaaa…" he can't finish, because he woke up.
He woke up, with his chest pumping, and breathing at an accelerated rate. He looks at the clock. 5:30 AM.
"This one was the craziest dream I ever had! But…it looked so real…"
The animal-shifting boy had his mind spinning in a rollercoaster. Didn't knew what to think.
"Maybe it was just a dream. Just really a crazy, incredibly real, dream"
"Anyway…"
He lay down on the bed. The only thing that he wanted to do now, was to dream about his love.
"When will I stop running from the truth and tell her?"
And once again, he shut his eyes, and fall asleep.
