What the hell is this?!
The bodies of people burned alive are piled up in the room, some of them are trying to move or speak, but all they do is to turn the limbs they move into ashes.
Suddenly, a shiver colder than ice runs down my spine, I look in front of me and see a monster staring at me.
It's as big as an adult, made entirely of fire and slightly transparent.
I try to run but my body is frozen.
"Who are you? It's the first time I see you here."
I'm too afraid to answer and all I want to do now is run away but my body doesn't move.
Aaa, this fear is driving me crazy!
"Ah, I see, now I understand.
Ha, ha, ha, haaaa, the time has finally come, I've waited so long, too long for this moment."
"W w w what arre you sa..ying?"
Damn, I'm so scared, I can't even speak.
The monster begins to shrink to the size of a book.
He comes crawling towards me leaving a trail of fire on the floor, I can feel him climbing on me and wrapping me in his fire all at once.
It reaches my neck, wraps a few times around it and a strip of fire goes from there to my face and turns into a human head.
Ordirin! Please! Wake me up!
"You don't have to be afraid boy, after all you'll help me to get my revenge."
"No aaa..." The monster enters my mouth before I can say anything and the fire that was wrapping me disappear.
Is it gone? I can finally move, I look around the room for the monster but I can't find it.
Did he really get inside me? I check my body with my eyes but I don't see anything different or feel anything different.
"Aah, what is this pain." I clutch my belly with both hands as I drop to the floor.
I feel how my organs melting inside me, my skeleton starts to heat so hard that i can feel the marrow of my bones boils inside me and the flesh next to my bones start to melts.
What is this pain!? I start rolling on the floor hoping it will go away but it's getting worse and worse.
"AAAA...!! I WANT TO DIE! I WANT TO DIE! TO DIE...! Aaa aaaa..."
My lungs have completely melted, I am no longer able to speak or move.
I end up lying on my back, with my arms clenched over my belly, and watch how my whole body begins to swell.
Do I swell? What the hell! Even my fingers are swelling.
"BOOM!"
My body explodes, I can't see anything for a few seconds, I hit the ceiling and land on the desk, on my left ear.
I end up seeing pieces of my body scattered all over the room, organs hanging from bookshelves, my broken skeleton thrown into all the corpses, and my head with which see these nightmarish moments that lie on the edge of the desk.
I lose my balance and fall off from the desk, seconds have become an eternity and my conscience doesn't want to wake up.
While I'm in the air I get to look at my head in the mirror on the door, I didn't think I would only see my head in a mirror.
I just want it to be over!
Aaaa... "Aaaa! I am alive?!"
I check my whole body with my hands.
Yes ! I am alive ! Tears start to appear, I try to wipe them with the back of my hand but they keep coming.
I never want to go through something like this again!
The door opened, I hear a person coming towards me, sits on the bed and hugs me.
The way her heart beats, the way she holds me in her arms and strokes my head, it's Illiane.
I hug her waist and rest my head on her lap.
"It was just a nightmare, everything will be fine."
Illiane strokes my head until I fall asleep again.
-7 days later-
In these 7 days I only left my room to go to the toilet.
When I open the door to my room or toilet I'm afraid I'll wake up in that room again.
Illiane noticed that I was afraid to leave the room and started bringing my food into the room.
I don't know if Illiane told my parents about this but considering they didn't come to my room after a week, they probably don't know .
There are still moments when I look at my body and my mind sees it exploding, not to mention the pain is still as great as it was in the dream so it was quite hard at first.
I read in a book that meditating can help you get rid of fear, so I tried it and it paid off.
I meditate most of the day to get used to that pain and fear, even if it's boring at least it pays off.
Is it lunchtime already? When Illiane brings the food, she always knocks on the door before entering.
"Come in Illiane."
"Son, don't you think you've been in your room long enough?
I understand you had a nightmare, but you have to get over it.
You're 8 years old now, you have a little more and go to the Knight School.
What do you think your classmates will say when they find out that you stayed in your room for seven days because of a nightmare?"
"You're right Dad, I'll try to get over it."
I was asked by Illiane what the dream was about but I had no way of telling her .
If I'd told her, my dad probably wouldn't come today to make me leave the room.
"Off." I'm going to have another nightmare, how nice for me.
"Teo, I've prepared a surprise for you that will help you to get over it faster."
"Surprise?"
"Yes! You haven't had the chance to use the family sword before, that's why I've prepared 2 soldiers with whom you'll go hunting in the woods.
And don't worry, they'll just come to load what you hunted."
