A/N Sorry for not updating this story; well o those who have read the first chapter. With graduation and homework it's been hard. No more homework for a while! Hope you enjoy this chapter. It may not be good since I wrote this between nine and ten at night.
Ren's POV
I was scrolling through the prophecies to review what I already knew. I needed to find the person who would defeat Him once and for all. Living all this time just so the prophecy could be fulfiiled.
I had frozen at the age of twenty-one. I looked the same as I had many, many years ago.
After reading the prophecies for so long I was able to figure out a few of the meanings. Many of the parts were still unclear though. This was not my forte though. I wasn't the best thinker either. I had Mr. Kadam for that. Well, some of the thinking.
Living this long has given me experience. I had traveled all over the world, learned many languages, studied in the many kinds of martial arts, and have acquired more knowledge of the world.
I was able to live this long because the goddess Durga granted me eternal life and youth. She has been the one to guide me through all these years. Right now she wanted me to find this person.
Over the past few days I have been dreaming about the goddess. For the last two nights however, I've been dreaming about a place. It was clearer on the second night. It was a forest with many cabins. There were many people; teenagers from what it looked liked. That was all I could see from the dream.
It was difficult finding out what it meant? Was it a location, a vision, or what?
Tonight hopefully, I could get a better view of the dream so I could try and find some meaning in it.
Right now I was trying to decipher a part in the prophecy which was a very complicated but yet crucial part which I needed. The first four lines were easiest to interpret. It read:
Fire within,
Powerful akin,
A spirit enduring,
Though easily allured.
This person had a strong and willing spirit although it was a little naïve, albeit this could also have a double meaning. The next part was:
Behold the three,
Who hold the key,
To destroy the curse,
Forever reversed.
I was a little stumped on this part though. Who would be the three persons who break the curse? Was that first person part of the three? Hopefully Mr. Kadam would be able to decode this. No more to that passage could be revealed because the rest of it was faded. This was a couple of centuries old.
I sighed
I was done being smart for the day so I decided to go for a ride to clear my head. I got into my black Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. I normally don't take this car not only because of its scarcity, but because I wanted to be inconspicuous.
Right now was an exception. After all I've had to deal with this week I deserve to out on a ride.
Unfortunately for me, Mr. Kadam decided it was the perfect opportunity to tell me something. I lowered the window as he approached.
Mr. Kadam was always polite as I was rude. He looked as if he was in his late thirties but that was a compliment. He had a kind face but it was mostly his eyes. He was a couple of years older than me; no signs of gray hairs showing. Yet. He was growing slowly. We think it was because he was destined to help.
"It's best if you stay Dihren. Now is not one of the best times for one of your escapades."
Ahhh yes. Sometimes I left the house for a while. The longest I've been gone was for a month. This time though I was planning on returning.
"I was only going to go for a drive to clear my head. I really need it now since I feel I will rarely have another time to."
"I suppose a short ride could not hurt. But please, return quickly. The sooner and clearer your dream gets, the faster we will be able to interpret it. Tell me again though, before you leave, what kind of milieu did your dream have?"
"It was like a forest. I was able to see small houses but I did not know exactly what. There were also many teenagers. The place teemed wit-"
"Did any specific teenager stand out?" Mr. Kadam interrupted.
"No. Not that I saw anyway. Why? Do you think someone from my dream was important?"
"It could be but it could also be the location itself. Hmm… So a forest type environment with many teenagers huh? I will have to look into it. Well you may proceed with your ride. I have my own things to attend to."
With that he turned and left.
I was left thinking at my seat.
After a few minutes of replaying the dream in my mind I decided to finally leave. The blanket of darkness the night provided was perfect.
I went to my favorite place to be alone. It was a desolate place. Not many people would come to a dump late at night.
I turned on the music. I put the song Papercut by Linkin Park. It was one of my favorite bands. As the music droned on I began to get sleepy and my eyes began to droop. I fought to stay awake.
I fell asleep though. Being asleep I dreamed. Like it had been doing for the pass nights the dream got a bit clearer but not by much.
I awoke as I felt the sun through the tinted windows. Oh well. I had promised to return sooner; Mr. Kadam will understand. Hopefully.
The dream had been much clearer only in the details of the surroundings though. The leaves of the trees were more noticeable. There was hardly any difference between this dream and the last.
One thing I did notice though, was one person beginning to stand out.
Time to return and report this to Mr. Kadam.
