I am the HERO

Elie pov

"You are in deep trouble daughter of Cinder. Your time is coming to take your place on the throne, but that must not happen. For dark times come upon you story if you follow in your parents foot steps. Your story is unwritten. Find the three others born of lore, or let the world destroy you. Find:

The one who shines in darkness

The one who seeks passion

And the one who cannot dream

Find them and destroy the dark."

The dark is all around all I see is these witches. The one who talks to me is a myth, Karyth Lana. They say she used evil spells and got bound to the river of death, but there is no river in this dream. All I see is a group of these girls chanting stretching fire out of the dark.

There is something in that cage dangerous and deadly. I can feel it's power surging through the air thick and poisonous.   One of the witches fall and the fire dims.

"Stand up child you must not let the chain break we cannot let Charon escape, or may the world rest in peace ," said Karyth letting the quiver in her voice show the terror that this monster Charon is causing.

Now that I look i see that all of these witches are about to let go, struggling to hold on to Charon. How is this happening these group on witches the Carnis they are not supposed to exist they are myths. How is this happening? Then I see that these witches are not as they were described to me when i was a child. The are not ugly horrendous 10 legged creatures, but beautiful tail bearing mermaids. Their voices a haze in my ears but I still hear them the voices of mermaids are beautiful in the water. Rising and lowering perfectly, soon I realize they are chanting to keep the fire up.  They are using magic to keep this monster from escaping.

I try to yell to them, but they hear nothing. I think that only I can see them a one sided connection. Why is this dream so real? Why cant they hear me? Why are they mermaids? Why is this up to me? How did we not know about this monster?   My mind is reeling with questions one after another always stopping on this one question: Is this real?

My heart is racing going from this is all a dream to I cant help these people... sorry mermaids. I know this is all a dream, but it feels so real. Why can I not just have a normal dream like other people every night? These dreams have been happening for  a week and i don't know why. One day my dreams are about fighting Herb(he is a total perv btw) to fighting this  monster. Every night! I always wake up sweating and out of breath. My mom screaming at me to get dressed into these tight fitting,  pretty(UGLY!) dresses. My day could not get worse!
