I then heard a big sound outside, we both did, one that made us shiver. It frightened436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJACztGnW
me deeply and as much as I wished it to be just the one scare, it was not to be.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZfKAyskR0
“It has begun.” He confessed rather calmly as if he was already expecting it.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMtbfGnTl2
Many more terrible sounds soon followed, screams and other noises of terror just436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z7vOnAVAB
outside that room, and as my eyes began rummaging in a most panicky manner, he436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ2P3CY4lY
placed his hands on my cheeks and stared right at me: “It’s alright.” He reassured me436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4W1iaz5Vr
“This is intended, you understand? It is according to the plan.” He was staring at me436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0esprB6n
with deep concern, but there was no lie in his words.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpjFUosv1q
“What is happening?” I reluctantly asked, “What is this place?” I felt like I was436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXEPGRojAL
finally able to understand myself for the most part, or at least most of my spoken436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDsyDcUqgn
words were now sounding just like my thoughts before I voiced them. “Please?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhWYxNiE8s
I insisted ...436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupAPvpKMCA
“We don’t have much time for this,” Those hoarse words pushed through between436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy47s88vEsM
nervous breaths, and it seemed I could now understand them without too much436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYTtXB9Gh
impediment “but you have just been awakened ... or born, if you will.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS0yRlbGm9
“I don’t understand,” I begged for more as he turned his back to me to begin those436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3i9UuAbgO
rushed preparations, and when I was about to insist, he spoke to me some more.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxelH5oGnNd
“You were born into this world - born, the word born, you already know the436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjBd7sX9jS
meaning?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4CmlllNEz
“Yes ...”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi7MSX8qJF
“Yes, of course, you do.” He responded with a smile before continuing, “Either way,436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXN8YU55TS
you were born into it or perhaps brought here from another; not even I know for sure436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVdswF2UDK
which one applies more correctly. Not even after so many... Anyway, I know you are to436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFCkFcVxc3
be charged with bearing most of this world’s responsibility.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1GmSHSTWC
“Charged?” I asked.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPgmTKkPs5
“Yes charged, and by none other than yourself. But first, we need to get you out of436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhPnRIWUxw
here. We must deliver you somewhere safe.” He stopped to look straight at me “I know436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xpTZxcw4Q
you have so many questions, but it is imperative that you save them for later.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2pY4facl1
“You must put your trust in me, you understand? You must trust me and be patient.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihXiwNiK6E
Time itself will tell you all that you might want to know right now and then some. Just436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3R8Xx1VAJ
wait.” He turned again to resume those rushed preparations; “I take it that it will not436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcblh0Agl0
be long before I am the one turning to you for some answers. For now, just be patient436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycbOonVLB
and do what I ask of you.”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDip3zOKGYB
“What am I? How can I have learned this much already, and so fast?” I stopped for436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWEjqJN6Mn
a moment, and then looked him in the eye: “And how can I know that is not normal?”436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s3c3M5eoZ
“Not a what, but a who.” He replied while turning away from me but still, likely436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Z7KPD6Pa
against his wishes, I felt that those words were brought forth in a somewhat vague and436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpkGubuEwq
unassertive manner.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUuXTxJDxa
“Who then...” I could not help but be distracted by all that was raging on just outside436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rfn90knm0
that room; the several noises rampaging all around, those constant screams escorted436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUDhHEQPpb
now by other gruesome sounds of violence. I tightly shut my eyes for a moment, in436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAhT3QgMVU
the hopes that somehow it would all go away, and then looked at him again. I found436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6rh92gGqm
comfort in that even if he himself seemed desperate to finish gathering all sorts of436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSyIkA1UJV
things from those silvered tables, he too seemed afraid. “Who then?” I was so hoping436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMqOWe2Ryi
he would cave, if just for a moment, but no such luck.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKNMnb4b9r
So, I just sat there, completely free from any physical bonds but with my feelings436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITmqlpRdCs
still tying me to that bed. I remained still, watching him pack those last things with436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjQrF7zjFG
great haste: all sorts of papers and the tools to inscribe on them, some food, and a few436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7SThOJDdw
other utensils too that I could not yet recognize.436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM7wPoLxhK
I felt so inclined to ask him again, but before I managed to assemble the required436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu9xHdlF8s
words, I got hit in the head, something fierce!436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLCj6qOJcA
A presentiment, a quick vision of a clap of thunder cutting through heavy rain and,436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkAyRASTI
amidst it all, some sort of airship struggling through it. Could that have been just a436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH0cLwybTc
random trick of my imagination or the thunderclap of catastrophe? What was that?436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGCQ3BENvI
It felt so...436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxjqIzLRNM
A premonition perhaps, or a distorted perception of my unknown present?436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvf8FUFdNe
Surprised I looked at him only for my doubts to be met with a wry grin.
