Chapter 1: Ruled by Secrecy

June 9 2015
By this point right now, I'm just turn 37. My band, Muse, we just released our 7th Album... Drones. The fans were really hyped about it and there were some debate if we are losing our touch as artist or if this album kicks ass. To me, I create what I feel, what I believe in and if I apply that to my songs, then they are good to me.

Supporting me are my friends and band members Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme. Oh... and Tom Kirk. But Dom is like a brother to me since we've been friends for nearly 20 something years. The 3 to 4 of us tour around the world, doing what we love and such but it also does mean we dont see our loved ones much. But today, we are going to Teignmouth to celebrate my birthday with my family.

I normally want to celebrate it in a club in London but my folks asked me to return. I guess they miss me. When we arrived at the airport, I waved to our fans who probably were camping in the entrance of the airport. We had to have security protect us just so none of us gets harmed. We reached to my car and drove a long way to my hometown.

5 Hours Later
We arrived and my parents welcomed us with open arms. And as usual, my mother gives me a tight hug as my father smiles as he is glad to see me and my friends.

"Welcome home Matt" mum said.

"Hi mum" I said.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Bellamy" Dom, Chris and Tom said.

We all entered and my parents prepared food. We all sat in the living room couch, sharing stories about our recent album launch, our tour and our lives in London. For some reason though, my parents started to worry a bit as their facial expression shows it.

"Anything wrong?' I asked.

"Not really" mum said. "I mean... we are really proud of you! But..."

"Are you enjoying this Matthew? You don't feel like something's missing?" Dad asked.

"Guys... How many times to I have to explain this to you guys... I love performing! Dad, you used to do it when you were my age! Is there something I should know?" I protest.

My parents looked at each other with worry and distraught on their face but gave me a smile which signals their support.

Late at Night --- London --- Matt's apartment
The dreams... The dreams have returned.

They've been occurring since 2012 when The 2nd Law Album was released. I keep seeing myself in a giant blue box and instead of being a musician, I live in that box, traveling to places near and far. Places so unheard of that it felt like I was free. In this blue box though, I am alone. No companions, no friends. Dom, Chris or Tom aren't with me as I visit wonderful places alone.

However, at the same time, I end up running a lot. Monsters, cyborgs and aliens are trying to either capture or kill me and my only weapon is my guitar.... A special kind where each strum gives of a harmonic effect to either kill/distract my enemies or help me find an escape... Like and ex-machina situation.

But this time... I was trapped, locked in with two paths of escape and I couldn't choose as one involves forgetting and leaving everything behind and the other is to continue on this journey... Alone.
