Kyle, can you hear me?
Say something, stay with me.

The words echoes inside head. I wake up, not knowing where I am nor how I got here. My whole body is covered in bruises and even breathing hurts, my body is as cold as ice. I rub my forehead and close my eyes. I slowly stand up shaking, so that I can get a better look at my surroundings. I'm in a dark, grey-like forest with a long fragile stone bridge with large cracks in front of me, connected with another cliff side which appears to look very similar to my side. The sky is colored dark grey full with clouds, the sky almost looks poisonous. It's so foggy that I can barely see five feet under the bridge, but I imagine the fall would be endless.
Standing next to me, I see myself - like a reflection but without the mirror. It's equally bruised as me, only its wearing white clothes with wings. But even the wings are bruised and dirty. I then look to my left, and I see myself again, but this one wears black clothes with black wings. He smiles more than the one dressed in white.
My head start spinning and pulsating as my vision gets blurry.
And then it's all black.

I wake up, only to find the people that was standing next to me before was gone. I rub my forehead again, resisting the urge to throw up. I stand up again, it didn't get easier this time. I slowly make my way to the weak stone bridge. After closer inspection of the other side, I see Levi, my best friend. I'd recognize him anywhere.
He is slightly taller than me and a quite skinny figure, with dark brown hair parted in the middle that ended right about his ears. His face is shaped like a heart-shape and he has small, dark green eyes.
His body is bruised as well, if not even worse. I can't stand seeing him this way.
My mind then starts replaying old memories that I have with Levi and I smile at them, just to then frown at the thought of losing him, a part of me.
I call out for him but he doesn't react, I can't even tell if he's breathing. He's probably knocked out.
The moment I call out for him, the bridge starts to crack even more as my voice echoes through space and time and I see black birds fleeing from the treetops.
Suddenly, I hear something behind me, it sounds like large paws dragging along the ground. I then hear a reptile-like groan and I can feel sudden heat all over my back. Whatever it was that just walked up behind me, was terrifyingly close to me and I could feel it's breath against my whole body. I stand paralyzed, not wanting to even flinch. I can feel my body reacting to the sudden horror and the human instincts kick in. Fight or flee.

I slowly turn my head around while holding my breath.
There's a dragon behind me, with a head twice as big as my whole body, I don't even want to think about how big the body could be. It's a black dragon with white scars all over it, it doesn't appear to have any eyes, it's blind.
The dragon growls at me and shows it's large teeth. I turn my whole body towards it and I back up with hastily towards the stone bridge. I turn around again to call for Levi, but then i see it, there's a dragon behind Levi's unmoved body as well. That dragon is white with large black scars all over it.
They look irritated, as if we awoke them from their deep sleep. I try to call out for Levi again, my body hurting and aching as I do so, which makes my voice weak. Levi then starts to wake up and I can finally breath out because I knew that he was still alive. He reaches out his hand towards me, as if he's desperately reaching out for my help --
