Abel Magia & The Two Apprentices

Chapter 21 - Illusion of the beast

Abel woke up, to the sound of chirping from birds nearby. It must be early he thought. He proceeded to sit up from his slumber and closed his eyes once more to glow in the sun that was shining down on him, through the damaged rafters. He briefly smiled but then remembered his awful dream from the night before.

Flashbacks intruded Abels mind, Did it have a meaning he thought? An eagle and a bear . The mysterious man at the end of this obscure vision, "whispers in the ears of foolish leaders" kept running through his mind. Then lastly "You have my power". A gunshot went of in Abel's mind and then he opened his eyes once more after reminiscing. He was panting, sweating heavily after reliving such a heinous dream, better say nightmare. He stood up and gave out an al mighty yawn and stretched out his arms and legs. He then left the house been careful as he walked over the burnt remnants that use to be his home, a long time ago. not that he could remember it back in the glory days, he couldn't even remember his father or mother.He wandered if there were any photos of his family about the house but then he looked around him and thought differently any family photos would have been perished by fire. He wandered what sort of people his parents were did he have any siblings. Job had told him his parents were two of a kind, the nicest and most accommodating folk one could ever hope to meet. he took some joy with Jobs kind description.

NEEDS MORE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abel went out to the front of the house where he saw Raziel sitting on the top of the steps overlooking the overgrown garden, seemingly meditating in the sun. Raziel's senses were well in tune, for he felt Abels presence he didn't have to turn to acknowledge Abel was indeed standing behind him. "So how did you sleep?" Raziel asked.

"not to bad" replied Abel yawning wiping away the last bit of sleep from his eyes.

"But not to good either" said the philosophical Raziel who opened one eye, noticing a disturbance in Abel's voice.

"I keep having a reoccurring dream." Abel said. "I am struggling to know what it means if it has some meaning."

"hmmmm, a reoccurring dream you say?" questioned Raziel. "About what? And for how long? Might i ask"

"For how long. My, must be since I can remember." Abel said, he turned and looked at the burnt house and then indulged Raziels curiosity . "The dream always starts of peacefully, I am on a hill there is a bed of multi colourful flowers all around me, the grass is soft where I sit, I stand up and look toward a golden shore. and a calm blue ocean "

"That does indeed seem serene" Raziel said intrigued to know more "go on".

"Yes quite. But then it turns ugly." Abel went on to describe a more vivid troubled side to his dream "I am being chased by a great eagle, and then a ferocious bear and lastly a fire breathing dragon. At the end there is a man in a suit and a long trench coat, I am surrounded by lava. He says to me that I have his power. He says I have the power to restore order to the world. Do you have any idea what that might mean?"

Raziel opened his eyes and had a look of despair written on his face. He turned his head around to Abel who was standing there solemnly. "Do not pay any notion to this dream or nightmare Abel." Raziel said in consolidation.

"But what do you think it means" asked Abel who held his hands out yearning to have an answer from the wise Raziel for Abel knew Raziel knew something he seems to know everything.

"I'm afraid I don't have all the answers" said Raziel

Abel looked disapointed

" I Will enlighten you to what I think I know. I'll assume the man in your dream might refer to my brother Lucifer"
