Chapter 7: Strange Nights
After meeting with the blacksmith, I turned in for the night. When I finally dozed off, I found myself sitting in my office, drinking a cup of coffee. I heard a knock at the door, and replied with "come in". The door opened, and a small child with short brunette hair walked in. it was at this moment that I realized that the child was, in fact, me.
"Do you like Dani?" he asks
I answered "How am I supposed to like someone that I hardly even know?", only to find that the child had disappeared.
Another voice replied with "because love isn't as picky as you might think." I turned towards the voice, which happened to be Joe, standing on the ceiling.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"It's a dream, Marcus. I'm just a figment of your imagination."
"So if I believe that you have an elephant's ears, a rat's nose and a top hat…"
"Do you think the hat is a little much since I have the hood?"
"Point taken."
"Just as a heads-up, you're going to woken up, and not in a good way."
"Why would you say something like tha…?"
I was roused from sleep with ice water, dumped from a pitcher, held by Joe. The burn marks he will no doubt receive will leave me with quite a funny memory.
"Any particular reason you decided to use ice water to wake me in the middle of the night?"
"For the ice water I needed you wide awake immediately. As for the reason why I woke you at all, is because I thought you needed training to fight at night."
"You're right. We shouldn't put it off any longer."
"Meet me downstairs we'll eat some breakfast, then we'll go to the abandoned music museum. Your first lesson will be fighting bare handed against an armed opponent."
