I'm waking up from a scribbled sound, a voice that sounded loud and as if it was hard to endure, a strange light shining upon me and I could see it, the things that were staring at me, over me, well you get the point, right?
I stammel for a second and close my eyes back to what it was, a wave of shock and a rumbling noise near my body and one eye i open to stare for a little glimpse i could get, an enormous hand with exactly 4 fingers, so huge it looked like a monument, a mountain and a strange blue thing tailing me from the ground and at this very moment i pass out.
I do not know how long I slept, but loud noises woke me up again, this time it's a ticking bomb, a sound that you could swear to hear as a hall sound.
i do not want to make a sudden move, although i feel a soft tissue underneath my skin, so i decided after debating countless of times in my mind if i should take a glimpse of what is happening, one thing for sure is that i could recall that i was sleeping in my room and i want to make sure if i was still in a dream, a dream i yet can't seem to wake up from, but how to know if i am stunned from the possibility of what can happen if i don't continue to play death.
So i decided, i will open my eyes and make sure where this sound is coming from, i count in my head and then, I slowly open my eyes until i see some enormous 7 eyed monster staring at me and dropping its saliva on me, that formed a waterfall splash.
I yell at the bottom of my heart but can't escape," No, no noooooo" comes out of my lungs after pushing it severely, until it makes a sound, but would the monster hear me?
Will the monster understand what I say, all the thoughts running in seconds inside my mind but it was too late, I'm almost drawn into the enormous greenish water bubble that splashes on me.
It's at this moment the soft ground moves as an earthquake and something, not sure what it is, brings me miles down , taking me to the underground, I try to hold on it's glued carpet and endure the long fall , crying my heart out, then after a few seconds the earthquake stops, silent for about 5 minutes straight.
When I think it's all over, I'll rest now and try to investigate the environment I'm in, figuring out what I'm doing here, wondering where I'm supposed to be and asking myself where my grandmother is.
A strange rumbling sound from my throat and I feel dizzy for a moment, I twist and turn in all anxiety, maybe it is because of the fall, but how can all be so realistic in a dream? I wonder.
The ground I'm upon felt growing further and further apart from me and then shifted, changed into another ground.
My hands , legs and body started to grow, is this what they call a growth spurt? I complot in my mind , the walls start to be less horrific and more realistic and the more I grow, the more my clothes shredder off my body.
The silk pink pajamas that my grandmother sewed for me, in pieces.
This is one of the worst nightmares I've ever had in a long time, only in this one I have no clue how to get out.
The growing stops eventually and I feel a silk cover put upon my shoulders, I turn slowly around , wondering who did that.
To my shock , I could not anticipate what I saw. I saw the weirdest things and rubbed my eyes twice , pinched my skin and slapped my face to verify if I was seeing things or not.
But I was not, those creatures were very much alive and speaking in a language I couldn't comprehend.
One of them was smaller than the rest of them, it approached me with its covered hands in clothing, a dress I figured it was a she, but so much confusion in its face that I don't know if it is a male or a female so I don't dare to ask.
It approaches me very slowly and it's as if I could understand its body language walking up towards me.
I reach out with my hand and it stameles and goes back for a second, it looks like we are both afraid of each other and so one of us had to give in and it did, "El Fyor.." it says hesitation " sun dil Kin Di Fyor Royaltin" it speaks with the following words that was Chinese to me , i couldn't understand, i had learn many languages but this was one level to high, it was alien to me, not even knowing if it was a costume they were wearing , a joke they are sharing, i think i've been conned.
All of a sudden , it reached out his hand towards me, placing it on mine, I went through a short shock and soon realized the tenderness in its way of placing it's hand.
Of course it's my turn to insist, it felt like the same ground I was on earlier, or maybe something happened to me just now and I have yet to find out, I get more curious about this dream.
To be very frank, it got the best of me and I really now want to know the message behind this dream.
"I am Oceania Nnem and you?" I tried and it looked like it was content or more understanding.
He releases my hand and orders someone to give him the book they found, I immediately recognize the book.
Its colors reassembled the one my mamu held before I went to sleep. She reads to me about the world my great grandfather baku has visited, at least it's what he claims.
I analyze for a moment the book even further and the creature hands it over to me and I take it , " co op te em" he says I clueless looks at him, then he calls one of his subjects to aid him and the female looking creature with elven ears and long ponytail hair takes one of their books by flying to it to show me what they meant.
She opens their written books in drawings and opens it and closes it, when she closes it she stares at me and smiles. She had such a cute smile it melted my suspicions about these creatures.
It is strange how we humans fall for a little smile and it soothes us in a way, I immediately imitate the creature's gesture, and then she says " yue el eye an livram".
I stare at the book and read instinctively the words that come out of it .
" ..When you are in Darkashia, you won't understand the locals, it would not be easy to communicate with them but this book has a spell that translates everyone's speech, you just have to say it and it becomes reality, don't say it when you don't believe it , if you landed in the nation where there is fire they aren't knowledgeable, they won't understand , nor try to help, instead they are going to learn you how to talk all the languages or probably kill you, to skip the introductions of all clans and kingdoms or nations, go to the air kingdom, they have studied us and know about us and they are the peace zone of that planet.
You can recognize them by a sign they wear on their ears that resembles a wolf, they wear long clothes and they are friendly Beings , don't be afraid of them and they will do all necessary to aid you.
Now repeat after me for the translation of this world , that way you speak immediately their language without problem and they yours , you won't notice it because everything for you will start to be your language.
It's a mind spell , here it is , clear your mind and take a deep breath before speaking it into existence:
Mot , nnem , nnem mot une. bet
And it exist".
A light came in front of me, I was paralysed, the creatures around me they tried to take me out of it, but I felt like knowledge literally was imprinted in me the light came to me and my eyes rolled back I'll have a moment of epilepsy and after a moment I awakened.
I heard someone ask me " daughter of the sun are you ok? " the same creature that could not speak a word of English and now all of a sudden did.
Did it work? This time I stood up slowly from this horrific moment , the body is weak for this , but it also made me understand that the pain I felt was real, it can't be a dream.
I was stuck in the story of my ancestors and I just realised it, the creatures they saw are right in front of me and It made me understand that I would never see my Mamu again, so I cried out her name that is.
I cry as hard as I can , which made the creatures genuinely worried about me, it now catches my tears.
" this liquid what is it ?" He asks one of his subjects "I think, your royal, that it means that she is sad.., it's like, when you let the kingdom rain at days king Royaltin -", she says proudly says while he hold up his hand telling her to shut it down, knowing that much of her highness and his background is her proud.
He then turns to me and wipes it all off and puts it's long arms around me. I kept on crying till I had no more tears and became just silent.
Meanwhile the other creatures stood next to this royal creature and one of them stroked my hair. It gave me comfort to know that even in different places of the universe it is a symbol of love.
I quickly pull myself together and ask "will I ever see her again?" As if they would know the answer and who I am actually talking about.
They looked at me clueless and I forgot they just found out I can speak their language and so one of them has a grin on their face " she now speaks our language" he said and I started crying again.
" oh no, don't be sad again, you seem to have lost something or should I rather say someone?" He tries to feel the waters and it hits me even harder, twenty years later friendship was formed after that, but that story is for another time.
