MY NIGHTMARES
My name is Ray. Ray, a short and simple name, but it's all I have. As for my surname, well, that's a mystery. I was abandoned when I was just a baby, without any explanation. The only thing I know is that my parents left me after discovering something that would change their lives forever: I am the reincarnation of an ancient witch, an enigmatic figure who lived a thousand years ago.
It's difficult for me to comprehend how something so absurd could be true. After all, witches and reincarnations are nothing more than legends, right? But the truth is that I've been forced to adapt and accept this reality over time. The city I live in is chaotic, filled with people with paranormal abilities like mine. We're considered "normal" around here, but we still face prejudice and distrust from those who don't understand or fear what we're capable of.
The nightmares are the most disturbing part of all this. Endless nights are haunted by visions and memories of this supposed past life. Distorted images, flashes of a mysterious past that torment me. I can't escape this endless cycle of disturbing dreams. They intertwine with my reality, leaving me exhausted and scared, unable to find the peace I long for.
At the center of all these nightmares is her: a girl of unparalleled beauty. Her blue eyes are deep as the ocean, her long white hair like snow contrasting with her pale and delicate skin. Her face is a portrait of gentleness and serenity, but there's a palpable loneliness in her gaze. She seems to wander aimlessly, a lost soul amidst the shadows. And every time I wake up, it's this image I'm stuck with, not knowing if there's anything beyond or if it's just a cruel trick of my own dreams. In truth, I don't care what might be beyond that. All I desire is to free myself from this burden I carry and find the peace that has been denied to me.
Rumors circulate through the city about a mystical key capable of breaking the curse that imprisons me. It's possible that it's just a rumor, a story invented to fuel the hopes of those who, like me, carry a dark past. But still, I feel a spark of hope within me. A flame that propels me to uncover the truth behind this legend.
However, finding this key will be a monumental challenge. I have no idea where it might be hidden. The city is a labyrinth of secrets and intrigues, a place where shadows conspire and truths hide in the sidelines. My skills are rusty, but I can still manage with more subtle actions. I'm not a hero in a fairy tale, far from it. Survival in this city requires cunning and a pinch of courage. And that's what I'll need to unravel the secrets and find the key that can free me from this relentless curse.
My journey is only just beginning, and I know I'll face many challenges along the way. But I'm determined to face them head-on, to unravel the mysteries of my past and shape my own destiny. The key to my redemption may be hidden somewhere, waiting to be discovered. And I won't stop until I find it, even if it means venturing into the darkest depths of this chaotic city.
