I opened my eyes to see what looked like the inside of a rusted cage. This dream seemed different from the previous one. It had the same level of disturbance, yet somehow, there was this sense of difference.
I looked around but didn't see anything from the past dream. I placed my right foot forward and to my surprise, I began to walk. My legs weren't encased in paralysis magic like last time, so this could be a good way to examine the scenery.
The area was dark and reeked of rotting corpses. There seemed to be an echo of dripping water. From the darkness, I've concluded this is an ancient cave. Maniacal laughter could be heard from further down.
Just as I was about to move forward, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was cold and felt as if it belonged to a male.
"Look what we have here..." The sound of the deep male voice pierced the silence. "What's a delicate thing like you doing around these parts? This is a restricted area, you know. The boss won't be happy if he finds out..."
Boss? Restricted area? So many questions. How could this guy see me anyway? It was pitch black.
"Not a talker I see." He moved from behind me to in front of me.
"Tell me, mortal, what is your name?"
He seriously just asked me that.
"Why do you want to know?" I spoke with a bit of spite in my voice.
"You intrigue me. Nice tattoo, by the way. Where did you get it?"
"I was born with it..." I didn't bother answering his first question. "You're very... talkative."
"Comes with perks. Might wanna consider covering that marking. People will know we interacted."
"What markin–" I began to ask, but then I saw it. A bright red Japanese symbol, placed on my forearm. My tattoo was under my eye, a small black one with the symbols ゼン. It was Xen's name, in our original spoken language.
"What the hell did you do to me?"
"You'll know soon enough."
I finally stopped avoiding his gaze. He had sea blue eyes, ones that radiated a sense of compassion. His hair, a chestnut color, put into a man bun. In all honesty, he was kind of attractive.
"My name is Kieran. You deserve to know that much."
"Jessi.." I slowly responded. Is this still a dream? I can't tell.
"Nice name. Familiar yet mysterious. I like that. Well, Jessi, I hope you find Xen soon. And I hope you can stop by more often. You're kinda cute."
