Bang! Bang! Bang!
Who's messing with my sleep all of a sudden. Do they have a death wish or something? Once I ignore it the person will leave me be.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heavy knocks on the door doesn't stop and I just remain mute. They can go to hell for all I care. It takes a definite amount of beauty sleep to keep this fine specimen of a body intact and I can't miss it. Specimen of a body? More like bony structure but who's asking? I pick a better position as the banging on my door stops. Finally some peace and quiet.
I check my alarm clock and I still have 2 hours till I need to get ready so I can get in a little more sleep before I kickstart my day. The moment I shut my eye darkness takes over.
I'm back in that space again. That void that seems never ending but still feels tight and stuffy. It's filled with complete blackness and nothing more and i cannot see anythng. I can't feel my legs, arms, or any part of my body for that matter. Even my heartbeat can't be heard here in this never ending abyss.
Floating in this place I feel chained. Even though I am free to roam around it feels more like a prison with no doors or windows. Like someone locked me in here and threw the keys away, never to be found for the rest of eternity.
As usual, few minutes of floating and I see them. More like constellations in this dark space they are definite. Four different colours. The first to my right is a very bright white gold. It looks so ethereal and very fluid like water circling itself. On paying close attention to it you can see the pieces. Like shards of glass scattered in perfect balance flowing constantly.
The second to my left is a breathtaking electric blue. At first it looks like a huge lightning bolt running round in circles but on closer attention you can see the tiny little baby bolts in it moving in harmony like kids racing each other around a tree. The feeling of seeing this is best described by the word "electrifying" or maybe "shocking". It is just beyond this world.
The third one to my front is a complete blood red gaining more respect than the others in formation. This one is basically blood. It is fluid at first look but closer look and you will see the multiple blood cells flowing through it. This particular one scares me the most. It sends shivers down my spine like you feel when you are in the presence of somethng evil. Something unnaturally dark and gloomy.
I quicky turn to face the final one completing the square formation of light. It is the most dynamic one. In the center is a beautiful golden pillar and connected to it are five streams. The first stream is like flowing lava burning bright fiery orange and if you go closer you can even feel the heat wave from it, but instead of burning the fire feels cool to my skin, like they belong together somehow.
Next to the lava, connected to the pillar is a stream of the clearest water I have ever seen in my life. It is so bright and clear and the face is so glassy I would be able to see my reflection if I had one here.
Next to it is a stream of flowing air that was bright and cool to the skin. It was visible here so it has a silver grey colour. Like floating silver itself. Next to it is a stream of sand and leaves. They are both floating in order and balance linked to the pillar.
The final one is a purple line. It looked more like a coil of thin thread leading to the pillar and spreading to form a web as it expanded. It is so beautiful becaue the lines are glowing looking like they are made from amethyst.
I don't know what this place is but ever since my 18th birthday I have been coming here every time I close my eyes. While others sleep and dream or have have nightmare I'm stuck floating in this space. The funny thing is every time I come here the lights grow bigger. When I first came here the lights were no more than the size of a basketball, now they are each the size of 15 basketballs merged together.
I just wish I can understand what this place means and why I always end up here.
"You really have a death wish don't you? If you don't get up from that bed now I'll kill you before Sir First has the chance to see you!" A whisper breaks through my dreams and my consciousness is pulled away from the space. Just as I am falling out I hear a silky calm voice in a whisper.
"All will make sense soon! Await the Awakening"
Awakening? What does that mean? Who spoke now?
My consciousness is forcefully pushed into my body and I fly off my bed gasping for air. I pick up the cup of water on my bedside table and gulp it all at once. I always feel weak every time I visit that abyss.
I push my bedcovers aside and stand to my feet. Wait someone said something about Sir First! Oh My God what is the time? I rush to check my alarm clock that read 9am. I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm totally done for! I am meant to meet Sir First at the Gate by 9:30am.
I rush out of my room to the shared bathroom at the bottom of the stairs. I push it but it doesn't budge.
"Someone is in there!" A shrill tiny voice rings from inside the toilet. Ahh Dreila has taken charge of the bathroom. She turns into a mermaid and back to human form whenever she enters there. I still have to wait at least 2 hours for her to finish.
"What do we have here? The gloomy roommate is finally seen." A cocky voice speaks and I look up to be met by striking emerald green eyes. They have always looked weird to me but everything about Balrun is weird.
"I don't have time for your games this morning, Bal" I force out grinding my teeth in frustration.
"Ohh so because you are the Aid to the Almighty Sir First, the rest of us are trash? Too below you to converse with?" He mocks me and I take deep breaths to calm myself.
"I never said that, I just have more than enough I'm dealing with now than to deal with your insecurities, and low self esteem." I reply and turn to face the bathroom door "Cry to your therapists" I continue and smirk.
I could feel him visibly seethe beside me but he just storms away as I let out a breath I was holding. I could take him with my training but he is bulkier and has magic. He has even been prospected by a Warrior Academy.
I bang the door to the bathroom heavily again and Dreila shrills again.
"Hey! Relax I'll be out in a minute." She snaps in reply and I smirk.
"Tune it down y'all. I'm tryna get some sleep." A gothlike being opens the door opposite the bathroom and sticks her chain filled hair and rings infested face out. Cryyu can pass off for a vampire any time of the day. No one would believe she is just a sorcerer like Balrun. Sorcerers are humans born with ability to connect to the maagi in the world and manipulate it. They are usually very powerful and can reach great heights.
Dreila opens the door and walks out fully caked up in makeup and dripping in so much perfume her scent choked every living organism around her, even me. Dreila is the youngest of us all and the only unidentified. Well except me though. In her defense, she is only 17 years, and she will be identified the moment she is 18.
I rush into the bathroom and take the fastest bath I have ever done in my whole life. I dont even think the water spent 5 seconds on my body before I ran out. I rush dress and the next thing I know I'm downstairs heading for the dining.
"I see someone finally decided to die young" Shurla says in the most sardonic tone you could ever imagine. I glower her and he smirks "Wait to use that on the reaper after Sir First kills you." She adds and I brush her off and steal a pancake from her plate. "Heyyy! Not my breakfast" she yells as I head for the door.
"Not so fast, buddy" a soft voice stops me in my track.
"Medora, I didn't see you there" I force out plastering the biggest smile I can on my face.
"Drop the BS, your rent is due, if you don't pay up by tonight don't bother coming back home." She says in the most stern voice leaving no room for arguments.
"I'll not be back for a few days, I promise I'll get the money to you the moment I'm back from this mission." I reply and she sighs
"You better!" She adds and continues with the laundry she was sorting. The house was the only thing Medona parents had before they died when she was 16, so she rents the rooms out to orphans who have nowhere to go like me, and you dare not owe her rent.
"I'll be going then" I say and run out the door.
To my death then!
