The Dreams

Another Dimension

I woke up on a cold floor. I got up quickly. The floor was black and red in some places. The sky was dark blue. I shivered, what is this place?! I walked around. I looked at my surroundings to find torches lighting the room. I saw a house like structure up ahead. I sped walked towards it. It was black and torn down. I touched it with my fingers, and it felt gooey. I tried to let go as soon as I felt it. Just then it sucked my hand in the substance. I screamed.
"Someone! H-Help! Help me!" I tried to pull away. It completely covered my arm in gooey. Then spread down to my legs and my other arm. It slowly began to harden, just then someone in a black cloak walked out to acknowledge me. I shivered through the hardened substance. It walked up to me and studied me closely. His hand touched my cheek.
"Your human."
"Uh.... Ah!" The hard substance moved so that my hands were crossed over each other, and my feet together.
"Speak your business here." It's voice was depend and calm.
"W-Where am I?! How did I get here?!" I tried desperately to break free.
"That's what I want to know, hmmmmmm. Do you have something with a magical presence upon you?" It studied me closely once again. Should I trust it? I guess I don't have much of a choice, but I need to be careful.
"Before I tell you, tell me something. Just who are you? And what.... Are you?" I tried to keep my eyes on it.
"Well to answer your question, I am a demon, but do not be frightened. I will not hurt you. I, one demon that is used for knowledge, for wisdom."
"W-What do you mean?"
"Well demons that are like I am are often called Wise men. But I am the keeper of this realm. It's surprising that such a human such as yourself could have gotten here. Tell me, just how did you get here?"
"Well I know it might sound silly, but I was chasing a..... Weird creature. It was like a shadowy figure with glowing red eyes. And when I chased it, it..... It caught me instead....... It's eyes. I-I just woke up here." It looked at me amusingly.
"Well, that would make sense wouldn't it? No, it is not silly. What you have been seeing is a Realm Demon. They can transport about anything, or anyone through their dreams. But be careful, they can be dangerous, they often like to play games with people. But it doesn't make sense..... Do you know why they are coming?"
"Well I was walking in the woods, I saw a woman, she let me come in..... And long story short I drank some sort of potion..... And ever since weird things have been happening, like that creature came in my house, and when I woke up this amulet was on my neck...... And ever since I have been acting weird."
"T-That amulet! Could it be? That is the rose thorn transporter. It is one of the most powerful magic items in the world....... Be careful with this, it mustn't end up in the wrong hands."
"Ok, but I must ask.... I have been acting different, and in the mirror I swear I saw my eyes glowing red. Is something going on?"
"No.... Did you go to a dimension already?!"
"Y-yes."
"No...... This is bad. This means. The power of the Rose thorn amulet is trying to take things that are most important to you in life disappear..... so that you can return"
