_[< Some days ago>]_
" Welcome back. We have been waiting for you."
Omkar woke up as the words fell upon his ear. Not knowing who was speaking, his blue eyes slowly opened and gazed across the area. After careful examination in silence, he realised that he was not in his room. He was resting sitting on a throne made up of black and golden shiny metals which shone majestically. Still, it was comfortable to rest on the hand rest.
" So is it a lucid dream again?"
He got up from his seat and looked at the people standing in front of him. It was not his first time seeing such a realistic dream. The people he saw there were more like realistic cosplayers than normal humans. But what raised his curiosity is the smell and free will that this dream had. This made him doubt himself- is it a dream or reality? There were seven women standing in front of him, and paying him their sincerity in a respectful manner. They all had coloured hair and were wearing clothes matching their hair colour.
As he was wondering, a new set of memories entered his mind. Like a nail struck on his head with a hammer, pain electrified his body. Causing him to lose balance and temporarily shutting his body and mind. A red haired lady next to him quickly held him in her embrace and supported him. Her name was scarlett. Having long red hair, and a grown up but muscular body.
" He's still recovering, let's shift him to the bedroom." Violet haired lady having a mature but cold demeanour instructed scarlett.
Three other women in the room went along with the Violet haired lady. Now left was the green haired and Orange haired lady. They helped Scarlett to shift him to his bedroom.
Exiting the room Scarlett wondered," So this was the prophecy?"
" Yeah, it seems to be the case."
Green haired lady confirmed. Her name was chlorett. Beautiful looking and having a mature but motherly aura around her.
"But, he's weakened too much." Scarlett made a face of disapproval and sadness lingering on her face.
Chlorett smiled and replied, "Maybe, we should trust the prophecy, not what we see. And you too know about him right?"
" Sure..." Scarlett let it go with flow.
The one more person walking besides her was an orange haired lady, Her name was Clementine. She was silent through all this chatting and was just listening to them while practising her flames coming out of her hands.
On the other side, Omkar was in his dreams where he woke up explosively on his bed, and found himself in a dark void.
'Hmm…entered another dream?' He scanned everywhere and found darkness extended to the vast infinity. But a few seconds later he found himself being stared by a person who looked identical like a mirror image.
' Damn, you scared me for a moment'. He too continued staring in the eyes of the identical person.
The person spoke," You accepted this quickly?" He wondered how the person in front of him didn't shudder.
" What's there to accept, you intimidator?" Omkar questioned with a neutral look.
" Surely you're the kid of prophecy
" The intimidator nodded.
" So, tell me who are you? And I guess you are using illusion magic on me." Omkar asked to confirm his doubts.
" Hmm, you seem to know about magic. A normal human…wait!?" The intimidator showed signs of confusion for a moment which lasted not even 3 seconds. It didn't go unnoticed by Omkar.
'Got him, ' Omkar internally said.
," Answer me, I am sure I'm not suffering from any mental disease, still I'm in lucid dreams, one reason for it is illusions. And you are the suspect. " Omkar threw a series of questions and theories. For what was true that Omkar was being cautious and was trying to play his blank card.
The Intimidator put his hand on his chin, " Are you sure it's an illusion?"
The intimidator's body slowly started deforming. And next moment all left was a green light extending to the unending darkness.The person changed his form to his original appearance. "It's me, the great "universal void.""
Omkar, still neutral, hasn't been fazed by this display. He curiously looked in the green void and felt like he would sink in it. His mind went dizzy and he lost consciousness.
"Too bad…" The voice of void muttered.
_[< Some hours later>]_
Omkar woke up and found himself sleeping on a huge king sized bed. He scanned through his surroundings and found that he was back in his room. Surrounding him were the seven girls.
Omkar quickly recognised them, " I'm happy to see you all again."
He had a bright smile on his face. He extended his arms for a hug. They all were surprised," His memories are back!!!" Saying all jumped on him for the hug.
"I wo..n…-survived this battle." Omkar didn't smile this time and focused on hugging them at once. He was not happy with his situation and was just cautious.
" listen." He asked them and uncovered his hug. Looking at his serious expression they all sat in front of him to listen.
"What happened?" Violett asked.
"The battle… it's not over yet." Omkar revealed.
"That means?.."
"Yeah, we will meet them again." Omkar confirmed.
"And it's uncertain— when? —and…and…"
"I'm weakened right?" Omkar finished her sentence. He knew what was on their mind since they gave a look of worry on their faces.
" Yeah,"
Omkar caressed The Sky blue haired girl's hair and looked into other's eyes, " Only I survived."
Everyone's heartbeat increased, however they didn't worry about it. They knew how Omkar was and seeing him this calm can only confirm that others are not truly dead.
"Slumber." Clementine spoke.
" Yeah, " Omkar confirmed.
" About us not being safe since I've weakened… I've already taken some defensive measures." Everyone's ears perked up. They eagerly sat to listen. However Omkar didn't speak and tried gettin up which made him lose balance. He was weakened and it was clear that his body hadn't completely recovered.
" Be careful," Chlorett, the green haired lady, caught him.
" It will surely take some time to recover." He said.
"My powers too are somewhat incompetent on your body. " Chlorett said. She had healing powers on a high level however she couldn't heal him completely.
" Don't worry, your powers helped me. Just support me for sometime."
5 minutes passed and Omkar had gained strength in his legs. Now he could stand properly.
" Now, since my powers are suppressed and weakened I can't sense to a greater extent thus can you report about our condition right now?"
" We are locked and couldn't go out of our world. And since we thought it was your plan we didn't try to oppose this barrier."
" You did a great job." Omkar then walked further and asked them to follow him. Exiting his room he gave them an order," Can you call the leaders of each realm to the conference."
To which all just sat quietly, taking action Violett responded," Master, all other realms are sealed, we couldn't communicate with them."
Omkar, not losing his calmness, asked," Did it happen after this barrier was casted?"
"Yes" they confirmed.
"Good thing," He said then continued," You all do not need to worry. It's temporary, until I recover fully."
They all sighed in relief.
Omkar then looked at them, "My Seven lovely sins, we have a lot of work to do, shall we start completing it?" Omkar said. They all looked eagerly in his eyes and nodded. These seven women were his maids. Meaning, they were his helping hands.
