Equilibrium:

Equilibrium series:Book 1: The Dawn of Past Chapter 1:

I always have these nightmares... Which I am not to fond to admit that actually scare me... Something that makes me feel very uncomfortable and I mostly have these nightmares every single night...Sometimes I find myself waking up screaming in the midst of the night, and I dont know why it is that I am screaming, but i feel the intensity of my vocal chords and loss of breath after waking up from the nightmare. I have no way of explaining it, but at dusk, my strength seems to diminish... I dont know why it happens but maybe my visions may have something to do with it...

(piano plays [[Evanescence bring me back to life]])

I see this woman, who seems to be of royalty... I visualize the woman with two newborns, but I cant seem to try to forget or to figure out who she, or those children may be... And why they appear to be so important that I have to dream about them night after night... I also dislike to admit that that dream is perhaps the most beautiful dream I have ever envisioned, but also one of the most disturbing that ive had the chance to foresee ... My dream starts with her giving birth to those two infants, with it ending eerily(gruesomely) with the tragedy of the collapse of a castle and debris flying everywhere... Her stretching her arm far enough as if yelling for help, her and another obscure figure that plead for help. I picture them skull bashed, fingers completely destroyed, with their faces unrecognizable... What indicates to be soldiers trying to help their royalties from what was their un-fateful death... Some soldiers along with the king and queen also got wiped out, and some of the remaining soldiers were going to return home since there was nothing for them to do, now that the king and queen had fallen... No one to govern them or no one to protect them... For the king and queen have been the only of their kind... I percieve the two soldiers going back to what appears to be about morning only to see rubble and debris where the castle they once protected once stood. One lies hopelessly and begans to resent the heavens asking why that tragedy had happened. While the second one kept on walking, looking ,and searching through the debris without even one blink of an eye; with him trying to process the information throughly... When he suddenly came to a stop. His facial expression showed to insinuate awe. He stood there, static, not moving at all, when the other soldier walks next to him only to ask him if he was okay and what was wrong with him with tears in his eyes, and him shaking the other soldier helplessly trying to get him to respond. The weeping soldier looks at the direction that the other soldier was looking at ,and gasps out of astonishment... Before their very eyes are the two newborns they had seen the day before... One of the soldiers darted towards the children. The children percieve to be helpless and lifeless, one more than the other. The soldier carried the children up into his arms and place their heads on his chest for safety. Hours passed by and dusk soon arrived later that day. The citizens of that town were heartbroken about their highness' passing, but they knew that the King wouldnt accept pity and the queen didnt like sadness. So the citizens knew that they had to remain strong, for themselves, and for respect and tribute to the king and queen. The soldiers managed to find some place for the newborns to stay at, when suddenly I notice that I begin to regain what seems to be my strength, as if the night time weakens me for some reason. I notice daylight striking through the branches and leaves of the tree in which i laid under, and thats when I regain consciousness and wake up.

I fix myself upright and stretch myself outward spreading my arms and legs in front of me. I tend to want to try to remember what it was that i dreamt about, but my dreams appear to be faint, while at times when i do remember, i wished i could remember it all... Sometimes I try to think of scenarios for the end of my dreams... I've come to a conclusion that those children may have passed. I tell myself that it must've been for the best... After all, whom can resist such pain knowing that their parents had died for saving them... The children for sure may have blame themselves for the death of their parents... I dont remember much about my childhood. I try to stop and think, but nothing, but at the same time I could care less. I tend to have great memory about my past, but for some reason I cant remember anything about my childhood. All i remember is me growing up here in the woods. Its the only place where i can feel at ease, and where i dont have the urge to kill someone. I hate having company... The only exceptions are the company of the animals that live here, my family, everything that surrounds me, from the flowing water of the waterfalls, to the setting of the sun, to the eminecent clouds, and me, myself, and I. I love to sleep on the hanging branch of the tree of hope. The tree of hope is a tall, beautiful, white, gold-glimmering tree that shines with an iridescent light ,or the seven colors of the light spectrum... A legend says it that Hikari created this tree in order for his creations to communicate with It . Some people are so greatful for Hikari's creation of the tree, that they gave it the nickname Andeddo which means the undead. Andeddo blossoms anything that you want it to grow and its leaves never wither away. There have been many legends about Hikari, and i feel pity and anger towards it. I don't care if it was our creator or not, even then it still left us alone to rot by ourselves, to carry our own weight on our shoulders, and letting us suffer. For those whom managed to live in Hikari's reign, have described Hikari to be a cheerful, loving and justice god. Hikari is said to be my creator, and everyone else in the world too. Hikari decided to give birth to a world in which we would of eventually roam on. It created the evergreen trees and flowing rivers, it created the raging oceans and warmful sky; the rich soil and righteousness fruits. And finally, it plucked a liquid reddish tint from within itself, and created man, creatures and beasts. It then created the Tree of Hope, and explained to them that unlike any other tree, that that tree had supernatural powers. It told it's creations that they were to help protect everything in its world, but above all, to protect the Tree of Hope. Hikari explained furthermore, that the tree was a gateway between itself and the physical world. It explained that they must do everything in their power to help protect the world, to cherrish it and to maintain balance. If anything were to interfere with that balance, the world b and balance would be interrupted. The god forewarned the beings and it promised to come back and check on them in the near future, to see how the beings would be able to contain the balance. The god forewarned them that if such interference were to occur, that the world were to begin a new era. That the balance would be broken, and that it itself wouldn't know what would happen if such thing were to occur.
