It was starting to get dark, as I was running away from the village, it was harder to see in the forest as I kept on moving forward for a short while, until I decided to stop and rest for the day, it was just few hours before the day to become complete dark. I thought of the monster that scared those wolves, and hoped that it was far away now. Nevertheless I needed rest, as I had been running in this forest for awhile now,as I was in a unknown place , making a fire was not a good idea, and I did not know how to make one either. I quickly climbed the nearest tree, it was a bit to climb but as I reached the top of the tree, I started to make a spot for me to sleep with the tree branches and leaves in such a way that I wont be falling down and hurt myself. When I made it comfortable enough to sleep on, I laid down and closed my eyes, it took only few seconds before I had fallen asleep, even thought the ferocious monster was near, I could not stay awake.
The moment I closed my eyes, a training yard began to form around me, and there was a figure of a person in front of me in the middle of the yard, whoever it were, was clouded in black mist, so I could not see anything except, that the figure was holding a sword. Then it happened very quickly, as the figure suddenly appeared in front of me and held the wooden sword above its head and swung it down, I reacted quickly, and blocked it, with a sword, that I somehow held on, and I did not know when it appeared, but I did not have the time to figure that out. When the strike reached me, the force from the blow was enough to make me go down on one knee, and I had to muster everything I had just to hold back the figures strikes from going through. I blocked every blow coming towards me, but it was very difficult to hold on as I began to feel pain throughout my body from the impact of strikes. I knew that I wont hold out for much longer, so I tried with everything I had left to push away the figure, surprisingly it was a success, the foe got push back by this, and I had a small window of breath, but it ended quite fast, as in the next move, it vanished into thin air. Then a sudden pain coursed through my head, it was because of a heavy blow, that had struck me, the pain seemed real somehow, and I began to close my eyes, even thought this was a dream.
The very moment before I closed my eyes, I remembered the vision of that women, that sent me to this world. Then I opened my eyes with determination, to not fall no matter what, not until I met her again, was what I thought. With a firm grip on the sword, I stood up from the ground and readied myself with a stance. I then lunged towards the figure, it easily dodged my lunge, which I anticipated, I then dropped the sword, and I took momentum and with everything I had, I punched the figure in its face.
I then switched my focus on the sword I dropped, I hastily picked up in mid air before it reached the ground, the moment I held the sword again, I could feel the figure was about to hit me, I turned around with my whole body like a whirlwind and threw the sword, and it flew like a arrow towards the figure, the sword pierced it, there were no sound, almost like the sword did not hit anything.
It was complete silence, neither did I move nor the figure, what seemed like a long time, was in fact just mere seconds, the figure twitched , and I readied myself, for its next move, but it quietly fell down and then began to slowly fade away, until there was nothing left.
I breathed out with relief, with that I then laid down on the ground, what I saw laying down was the beautiful night sky with countless stars, somehow this whole situation was strange and unreal, suddenly a wind breeze blow past me, and the very next moment everything turned dark once again.
