a strange strange dream, a void, a woman figure.
looking like a statue, reaching out, distorted yelling, ringing in my ears, skull splitting pain.
my body jolted forward, my voice cracking as I yelled, my hands rushing to hold my head as I stumbled off of something moving, couching and wheezing, blood on the ground when my eyes opened.
shakily I rolled myself over to sitting, keeping my hands bracing behind me on the ground, everything was spinning and the feeling of weakness wasnt going away.
when o finally took the time to look up a man, woman, and two children were in front of me.
the kids, a brother and sister, looked at me with fear, the father and mother with looks of concern and worry.
"sorry, I had a nightmare, too bad I can't remember anything cause I don't know if waking up like that is normal for me."(syn)
the adults didn't look less concerned, they looked even more concerned, the kids looked less terrified.
"how did he get back there?"(little girl)
"yeah, how?"(little boy)
the parents shared a glance, an unwillingness growing in the air.
"I'd also like to know how, just a while ago I was stuck in some hole."(syn)
the parents had no choice but to give in, explaining how the father carried me from the hole, taking me to get treated by someone, distrust grew within me, danger alarms ringing in my head as for some reason the words I'm taking you to someone triggered a response from me, a response so strong it seemed unreal, it almost felt like my eyes were on fire, warm liquid dropping from them.
"you're bleeding!"(the mother)
the woman ran to me, using a cloth to wipe my face, a dark red stain all over it.
"forget bleeding did you see his eyes glow?!"(little boy)
both parents looked at me, some kind of thoughts going through their heads.
"look can we all just forget this happened,I'll just be on my way-"(syn)
the mother cut me off, wait....why am I trying to leave?
"you're in no condition to leave!"(the mother)
the father of the family agreed, helping me to my feet then to the cart, this weakness was really starting to get to me, it's all I've known but I hate it, why?
why does my body feel amd react the way it does? what the hell is going on?!
no matter how long I thought I didn't get my answer to that question, the cart I was in stopping as my eyes traveled upwards, the sky visibly darker, what?
"but it was just....."(syn)
the parents came over to me, worried looks on their faces.
"you just zoned out for hours, you ok?"(the father)
I really couldn't answer his question, I didn't know, my body felt one way and I didn't know why, to me this was my normal, it was the only thing I knew.
the parents gently grabbed my by the arms, helping me move from the cart to the ground, supporting my weight while walking me inside a building, lots of hanging metals and odd cloths were everywhere on the ceiling.
the second the people set me down in a chair across from an old lady she exploded with energy, a crystal ball on her desk cracking as a deep dark glow ominously growled from its depths, glowing eyes staring at me before vanishing, a cracked and clear ball on a pillow the only thing remaining between us.
"you....you...there is much wrong."(old woman)
"you are cursed, by powerful being, a god."(old woman)
"he wants you dead, needs you dead, I'm sensing thousands of years of history locked away, something isn't right here."(old woman)
the ringing in my head returned with explosive force, more liquid running down my cheeks as the room brightened, odd glowing things assaulting my eyes as I screamed In pain, the woman's plants all wilting and dying instantly, my body feeling alot better in that same moment.
but it wouldn't last and I would crumple from the chair to the floor, breathing heavily while my body spasmed uncontrollably for a few moments.
"if we do not purge the curse from this boy he will die."(old woman)
the family who brought me here seemed ready to flee, stopping at the old woman's words.
with nods the parents walked closer, asking what they could do to help.
"there is a power sealed inside that is destroying him, we must remove it from him."(old woman)
[NO!]
my hands shot to my head as I let out a blood curdling scream, my head felt like it just exploded, I could feel blood pouring from my eyes, ears, and nose.
my vision was unreliable, balance nonexistant, hearing fading in and out.
when I could look back up again the room was a mess, myself lying in a small puddle of my own blood, the family standing away from me horrified, the old woman looking intrigued.
"it seems your true nature is fighting to release itself, the curse is only hiding it, your own power is killing you."(old woman)
I didn't belive her, I didn't have any power, if I had power why was I so weak? isn't that the opposite of power?
"if you want child I can walk your mind, I can see what has been hidden, see what has been done."(old woman)
the second she said that my body bolted into defense mode, my legs forcing me to stand, backing me away as my arms formed some sort of formation almost, one at the ready and one for blocking, it felt all so natural.
"it won't hurt I promise child."(old woman)
"I'm not doing this!"(syn)
she looked at me with even more intrigue, the family taking their chance, bolting from the building as the womanninched closer, my body sending danger signals over and over, the world slowing down, her walk moving to a crawl.
as if on autopilot my body bolted forward, unhindered by the slown time I was seeing, my fist soaring at her face, it impacted, her nose breaking amd my hand erupting in pain, vanishing as cracks were heard, the slow effect vanishing.
the old woman held her face as I panicked, fleeing from the room and out the main door, my legs carrying me barely as I moved towards the treeline behind the building, the second I entered it a calm overtook me, my racing heart and mind slowing.
