It has been raining heavily for days now, with strong winds blowing. The rain outside is blending in cinque with machines beeping in the hospital room. The lights are dim in the hospital room. Emily lay on the hospital bed quietly. She feels very tired. She is in the last stage of her cancer.
She feels very exhausted, she is tired of fighting. There is no point in fighting anymore. It has been a long battle with the disease. All she feels is sadness for herself. She feels like her entire life passed without meaning.
Coming from a poor background, she worked endlessly without rest. She chased success and power. She built her company from scratch until it became a household name. Her company was everything to her, she didn't have time for love and family.
She feared poverty the most. She lived that life and didn't want to go back there. Now everything has been for nothing. Her trusted subordinates betrayed her and took her company. The people she considered friends turned their backs on her.
After working endlessly for many years she ended up alone and powerless. Now she lies in a hospital bed, with no one there for her waiting to die. Her company was taken someone she trusted and taught everything she knew about business. It was a hostile takeover that she didn't see coming.
Emily thought, "I wish I never let my guard down." " I wish I was more selfish and not too trusting of people".
"If i had one more chance, i will make sure to ruin everyone that went against me". Then she thought about her circumstances and situation. "There will never be another chance".
Emily felt her breathing becoming shallow, her vision was getting blurring. The machine was beeping loudly in the room. Doctors and nurses rushed into her room trying to save her life. She felt her heartbeat slowing down.
"This is it, I'm dying" she didn't panic, she felt sadness wash over her. This was really the end for the all powerful Emily Shore. She also came to a realization, "I'm dying alone, will anyone cry at my funeral, I'm sure they will all be happy to hear about my death".
"This is really how my life ends".
In that moment, Emily felt she had never loved freely, all her life's focus was about building her empire. She hated poverty so much that the fear of poverty made her work so hard that she didn't care about building any important relationships with people.
She pushed everyone away, she never really had real friends in the first place. "I can't really blame that bastard uhn, he learnt from the best, Me!".
"I was indeed cold to everyone around me…" her thoughts began to fade before she could explore it.
Her fingers became numb, the sounds of the machine and doctors fades, and darkness started creeping into her vision. Strangely she felt at peace. This disease gave her nothing but pain. Emily felt very tired.
She whispers internally,"If there is a next life, I won't live the life I lived, I will live my life without worry and life for myself." "I will find my own happiness." She made a quiet prayer for a second chance at life and everything went dark.
After she died she felt nothing but complete darkness. She didn't have a body, there was no sound nor did she feel pain. Just floating consciousness. She felt she was just floating in space. She didn't have a sense of time or space.
"Is this the afterlife? It feels empty and silent". She felt very confused. She kept floating in that void for a while. Then suddenly something began to change.
She feels like she is in a body again, she could breathe like a normal human being. She felt warmth for the first time in a long time. This confused her so much. "I thought I died, why I'm I feeling all this?"
Then she starts to hear voices in the distance, the voices echoing in her ears. They sounded very unfamiliar to her. The voices, they are speaking a language she has never heard of yet she could understand it. It is a mystery to her.
Emily slowly opened her eyes, the image before her shocked her. She saw a ceiling with imperial dragons. "Dragons!!! Where am I."
