Everybody wants to rule the world
A note humming the background of my mind, slowly encompassing my every thought. A beat slowly emerging from the depths of my subconsciousness, something to dance to. Is this death, or some strange afterlife? Then a prod into my mind came like a storm of mother nature, gusting winds and endless rainfall. Memories found with each building lost, every last ounce of my city destroyed nothing remains and yet there she stood. That red dress encompassing an anchor, that look of disdain and disgust, striking fear into every ounce of my body. That is when the pain began, nerves set alight not on my body but my mind itself being torn apart. The earthquake suddenly appeared, cracking open wide the earth and she yet again graced downwards. Dragging me into an abyss of light, how death can turn all equal. No memory was left untouched yet, her demeanor changed. No longer one of anger but one of sorrow. For one moment I saw a tear fall and encompass her very being as she brought her hands to her collarbone tilted her head and spoke strange words.
"Friede sei mit dir." Her expression was now neutral, then it dawned upon me, German. Something about peace. In this state I could not think any further.
Slowly, consciousness returned to me. A dull pain lingering in each shoulder, moving produced a sound of chains being rustled and groggily I looked upon my left side. Bound, but something similar to a tune echoed a deep dark rhythm. One of ominous intent dark inventions. This was unlike the tune from before which I could recognize this was something dark inside, where demon hide.
A grunt came from the far side of the darkness. "It would seem you are awake; my master would be quite displeased. Why you are alive is beyond me."
Master, what brooding is this? Torture the innocent and decry their mind from all sanity. That girl who stood in my mind, who was she? My very thought echoed as that voice echoed throughout every lingering memory. "Friede sei mit dir."
A creek suddenly echoed from the other side of the room and light emerged. Blinding, hopeful yet passionate. The tune had changed not only was it changed from the chains the very atmosphere around the room turned to one of hope.
"So do you mind telling me who you are and where you're from?" That voice, a simple yet egmatic tone. One that lingered with every memory. "Friede sei mit dir" I glanced up and I could not identify a face the light had not given that response yet.
"It seems the spell worked at least; such an invasion of your mind would rid you of every vain of sanity you could have." She breathed a sigh of relief, she turned back towards the light. Stairs revealed and an escape route. I would have to save up everything I have. Everybody wants to rule the world, but right now I have to get out.
