'Aaaaah' screamed the young man in pain. His eyes were lifeless, his body full of wounds and fresh blood still dripping from his pale body. He tried to move his hands to feel the floor but was intrupted by a peaceful whistling sound coming from the other end. With all the strength left in him he opened his eyes to see a faint glimpse of a man standing at the other end of what appeared like a small boat. 'you finally awake' said the man . He opened his eyes, to see an old man coming towards him slowly with the support of his cane.His aura was not of this realm, it's intensity would have killed a regular human. His robes was engraved with ancient texts of a forgotten past, his silver hair shined like a moon during a dark night, his eyes were covered yet it felt like he could see and sence everything around him. 'where am I,is this what they call paradise 'said the young man laughing with pain.The place was somehow very different,it was peaceful... A feeling he thought was lost forever in his foresaken life full of war and blood.He forgot his pain in this peace,'when was the last time I felt this ',he wondered.A image of a young woman appeared in front of him.she was beautiful and her kind eyes warmed his heart ,he felt safe.
'oooh mother ,I forgot how u looked like, your beautiful smile ,your kind embrace... please save meee' cried the man with pain.This pain he felt was far more worse than his external wound,it was from his heart or what was left of it.The smile of the women suddenly faded,he felt drops of warm blood dripping on his face.drip by drip by drip...the blood mixed with his tears,'i failed you mother' said the young man stabbing his dagger into her throat and removing her hands that were slowly choking him.He saw the lifeless women turn into the corpse of a drauger.'very well done'said the old man pulling him from the water into the boat.i'm ICAR THE MERCHANT OF DEATH,you are now in the Ocean of a thousand dreams the realm between the living and the dead.The young man looked around him to see a vast peaceful Ocean ,it didn't have any tides the water was still and seem to reflect the entire universe.He had never seen such a beautiful and peaceful sight in his life.'What u see from your Eyes are all lies,see it from your soul,take another dip in the water ' said the old man patting his back.When he dipped into the water a sudden shrill went up his spine, horror grasped him.His face was covered in blood and the Ocean that reflected the stars were now filled with blood and dead bodies.' The mortals are so pathetic and weak ,once reaching here they trade their souls for happy memories or a moment of peace before going to the Nether,but I have never seen someone like u since the fall of the Great Libra,your soul is strong' said the old man.when he looked around he saw ,many boats around him.The boats were full of weeping souls,they were dumping their body into the Ocean and imprisoning their souls for some peaceful memories Icar promised.
