Soon night was upon them and all three boys decided to sleep in their combined beds, Arthur called it the "Super Massive Sleepover Bed", it was really two decently sized beds just pushed together. Arthur fell asleep first, but this time, it wasn't a nightmare, it was something far more bizarre.
Arthur opened his eyes to see he was under a burning sky, and when he managed to sit up, he was surrounded by so many… swords? Handles of the swords? It looked like two supermassive powers fought for dominance, but Arthur didn't know who really won, there must have been so much blood shed, for what? Barren land? This place looked uninhabitable, hell. It. Was. He noticed he was on a long stretch of land, where there were no blades of any kind, and as he looked down towards the stretch of land, he saw something… Someone? It must have been someone in armour of some kind, without thinking of his own mortality, he sprinted to the figure, as he got closer, he realized that he seemed to be the same height 'what's a boy doing here, wait, what am I doing here?'. He stopped just a couple feet from the boy, who was staring him back. Arthur was intimidated, but it all seemed… Familiar somehow, like this was a memory. "There you are, coward" the voice did NOT match at all, he already just… Knew it didn't seem right, but Arthur was usually wrong, so he brushed it aside. "What do you mean? You were expecting me?" The boy said "I knew we had to meet again, ever since you ran away… What did he see in you anyways, what did they see in you? You always were a coward, talk big, but what have you got to show for it? A dead friend, you ran, you ran like the child you are, you had no place in this world, and I'm going to prove it, by extinguishing you, your memory, everything about you, maybe your friends will drop you like the dead weight you are". Arthur shouted "wait! I Haven't done anything to you! I never did any of that! I'm not who you think I am!". The boy snorted "yes, yes you are, maybe your cowardice has pushed it to the back of your mind, but I'll pull it back to the forefront, have fun in your house, dreaming about a boy who could never like you back, with friends who secretly despise you, on a land of no significance, and I'll prove it, and maybe, just maybe, you'll have the privilege of seeing me again, see you soon, loser". Suddenly he was awake, his friends were shaking him, for a moment he believed it was a nightmare, that he had shouted in his sleep again, and he was ready to apologize, but his friends words silenced him. "Arth, dude you need to see this! Some weird stuff is going down!" Arthur was pulled to a window, where he saw something eerily familiar, but his gaze at the sky quickly proved that whatever the mysterious boy said in his dream, was a reality. When he gazed into the sky, he saw an orange sky, like fire, like… Like he was in the land under the mourning star.
