Its white eyes seemed like a white abyss as it stared into my soul. My arms were stuck to the bed and my legs were completely numb. To try and escape I tried releasing my mana but then my brain noticed the shadow was slowly pointing to something across the dark room. The door he was pointing to is one that has never been in my room. Before anything my brain picked up sensation in my legs and the fact that they could move. The shadow man started to walk toward the door.
"Who are you?" The shadow just kept on walking. It definitely was not the best idea to follow it toward the door but there was a calm, soft emotion coming from it that anyone would feel. As we started to get closer to the brown door, one thing that was noticeable was that my bed and the door were the only things with color.
We got closer to the door and then my chest had a weird feeling to it all of a sudden. It almost burned and made some tears go down my eyes. Then the moment finally came and we opened the door. We were in a huge temple that had green lush vines all over the place. Instantly I knew we were in the jungle from all of the mosquitoes flying and trying to bite me. The walls were sandstone and had old writing all over them. One thing that was definitely different was the shadow man. He was...no longer a shadow man. Instead it was a woman with long, lush, shiny white hair. She had a white and red cloak on and looked the same age as the last guy in my previous encounter like this. Her staff she was holding almost seemed empty and almost resembled a stick. In the top of the staff there was nothing just a end to a stick and a slot for something to be put in it. She looked at me with a smile and told me to go next to her. When she held my hand a door opened in the temple and everything almost seemed to slow down.
"Where are you taking me?" It was almost impossible to ask her anything. She looked at me and smiled whenever the attempt was made to ask one. Part of me wonder why this was all happening to a 5 year old boy, at this point I just wanted my mom and dad to be here with me. She then started to walk slower and observe the area, It was as if she was unsure what to do in this long temple. For some reason though there was great comfort surrounding her and it made me feel very safe. The walls were just plain white sandstone and the floor was stone. The torches on the walls provided us with some but very little light through the long, big, scary long halls and rooms of the temple. We made it to a room without another door and it seemed completely empty and dark with no torches. Then all of a sudden I heard the most soft voice ever from behind me.
"Come here and help this girl up." There was a big sword slash through her chest and blood was all of a sudden spewing everywhere. The red cold blood was not getting on my feet or anything but it was still absolutely horrifying to look at.
She started to cough and started to breath hard after my tiny arms were able to lift her and set her up on the wall. The gash was wide open and it made me wonder what happened to these people. Part of me refused to ask that question and made the decision to listen to her as she was struggling to lift her hand on my chest. As her hand came closer and closer to my chest there was a slight warmth coming from her as if she was my other mom.
"I'm sorry for what's about to happen and it was nice walking with you, we will meet again I'm sure..." Then all of a sudden her hand connected with my chest. The shearing amount of pain that was being felt from her hand made me scream and cry. Then everything went back in time as in reverse. I was back in bed. Instantly my brain looked to where the shadow was standing but instead I was met with the women and a warm smile from her. There was a green and white orb floating above me and this time my arms were able to move but my legs were back to numb. My tiny arms reached out to the orb and it shot at my chest. Then all of a sudden it was morning and my mom screamed it was breakfast.
