I am in my bedroom just laying down and trying to calm myself down after what happened at the pizzeria.
I hear a knock on the door and it opens.
Jon peaks in and smiles at me.
"Hey, Bryan. You doing better?" He asks me softly. I smile back at my friend.
I nod.
"A bit yeah." I truthfully say as I sit up a bit.
"Glad to hear! Anyway I'm going to order take out for dinner tonight. So how about you rest and get some sleep to pass the time until then." Jon says with his smile a little bit bigger. I nod at him.
I am tired anyway.
"I will. Thanks for checking up on me, Jon." I simply say. Jon nods and he shuts the door again.
I look up at the ceiling. I then feel a somewhat familiar headache.
I close my eyes and I slowly drift off to sleep.

I am in the guest room at the Protectors Guild just looking at my Seductive Rose sword and grinning in an evil and mischievous way.
"I'm so excited for us to eventually get revenge on Hera for you, SR! Then afterwards we can take over the world and maybe even other worlds after we get more power!" I laugh maniacally.
I'm excited as well, Bryan. We are going to have loads of fun throughout the way!
I nod frantically in excitement. My hands shake as I feel a sudden craving for more power hit me at once and it's overwhelming.
We can also punish those who have wronged you or just stood in you way of being happy. Afterwards you can have everything you ever want or need.
My grin turns sinister.
"Yeah exactly! I deserve it all! I deserve to be loved and worshipped as a king or better yet a god!" I exclaimed as I laugh maniacally once again.

I shoot up from my bed with a terrified scream and in a sweat. I start crying hysterically because of it.
I hear my bedroom door slam open and I feel someone embrace me in a comforting manner.
"It's okay, Bryan. It's over now. It's over." I hear Jon's voice which comforts me a little.
I hug him back and I don't want to let go. Jon rubs my back in order to help comfort me more.
