The magic in us: The unity of realms

07: Nightmares and Panic

Looking at the time I can clearly tell that I am having trouble sleeping.

I can't get Mina out of my head.

I know that she knew the risks of becoming an assassin but still, it was my job to make sure everyone got home safe.

I failed her and I won't make that same mistake again.

With her death, I also have the Voyers on my mind.

If it only took one to start this war then if an army comes through then the damage they can do would be devastating.

Voyers have no room for compassion, they go around the realms and conquer everything, despite the habitants there.

They're merciless and powerful. We don't know a lot about them but if they all start showing up then...I don't actually know.

There is so much unknown information it's unsettling.

If there's any chance of surviving against them then I'll be of no use if I can't sleep to function tomorrow.

Laying my head on the pillow I close my eyes and force myself to sleep.

It clearly doesn't work.

I roll over to a different position to find comfort. I roll over seven times before getting frustrated.

Okay, I just need to clear my head.

Stepping out of my room I use the stairs nearby to go outside.

Looking to see if anyone's up, I start running along a path that goes out of the city.

Still being able to hear my thoughts I pick up the pace. Getting further out I decay the trees to use more of my energy.

Turning back I step through a puddle and finally feel free. The water hitting my legs and the wind surrounding me just feels great.

Going back to my room I turn on the shower to get ready for bed.

Feeling even more at peace I start smiling.

Getting out of the shower I crawl into bed with exhaustion and lay my head down and slowly fall asleep.

That peace I was feeling ends when I feel myself waking up again but only I'm not in my room anymore but somewhere in complete darkness.

Looking around I can't see anything but I hear something resonating in the darkness.

I take a sharp inhale when I see Jordan off in the distance.

"Jordan? What is this?" I ask and he leans against the wall he summoned.

"It's a witch's nightmare and I'm not Jordan," he says smiling.

"Okay? But I'm not even a witch so why am I here?" I say confused.

"My thoughts exactly, guess that's why it's different for you" he goes on chucking to himself.

He pushes off against the wall and walks towards me saying, "you did hang out with Jordan a lot and it explains why you see me as him, you're afraid for him aren't you"

I feel my body tense up as he says that.

"You and I know both know that Jordan can protect himself but it's not that is it?" He continues and he's pushing for a reaction but I don't know how long I can hang on.

"What would I have to be afraid of? He's not even here" I say getting defensive.

He smiles again and says, "that's exactly why your afraid, scared that you can't handle this war on your own so you'll have to activate that rune and he'll come to rescue you"
