CHAPTER 20

A forest, with its floor covered up with dry leaves.

The brown color prevailed at that empty and obscure scenario, in which the sound of an angry wind sung a chilling melody.

I found myself lost and frightened. It seemed like I was the only person in that terrible place. I was trying to find my way back home and see my mother again.

I restrained my steps when I realized the wind was blowing much more violently, unleashing all its fury on the trees, which didn't stop shaking. I sat on my haunches and placed my face between my knees, avoiding looking around me.

That was when, in the middle of that agitation, I heard different sounds, as if someone was close. I lifted my head a little and saw that man again, the same man who was always in my dreams, since I was a child.

He was wearing dark clothes.

He stretched his hand so I could walk in his direction. I stood up quietly, looking straight ahead. I stared at him again and his hands grabbed mine. I could feel his frozen fingers on my warm hands.

I looked up into his eyes, trying to find an answer for his frosty hands. I was still looking at him and could see his chest. He had an amulet made of iron around his neck.

There was an engraving on it. I stared at it and then I was taken aback.

It was a 'symbol of Neptune'...

When I opened my eyes, I realized it all had been just a dream. I sat on my bed as I was intrigued about that dream and also about Eros' tattoo. I associated one thing with the other.

"It was in my dreams...I knew I had seen it before!" I said to myself aloud.

I lay down on my bed again, staring up at my ceiling, with my hands touching my head. I was completely puzzled.

"What does Eros have to do with this?"I asked myself, surprised, trying to find an answer. I couldn't understand why.

That strange man was in my dreams almost every night. The amulet made of iron, with the symbol of Neptune on it, was exactly the same as the tattoo on Eros' arm.

Could everything be a great coincidence...?
