Scenarios

Worst Nightmare

I press my hands against the sides of the orb, a vision suddenly fills all my senses. I'm somehow seeing many things at once. I see Endromidus, from high in the air. It's burning. Buildings are in ruins, and everything is on fire. Corpses line the streets, and blood flows over everywhere. I see my friends. I see Serena's body lying in a pool of blood, her severed head nearby. I see Midnight, in the form a giant cat. Her back is riddled with arrows, javelins, and bullet holes. It looks like a lethal sword stroke to her neck is what took her down. I see Lilica and Seth. Seth has his bloody arms wrapped around Lilica, and Lilica looks burned and charred. Her wings have been cut off, and lie nearby, blackened feathers blowing away in a breeze. I see Treejinue with her tail mangled, and one claw chopped off. She lies, fallen on her back, and her underside torn open. I see Ealandor his arms and legs in manacles connected to the ground, his wings chained against his body. He struggles to pull away, thrashing and roaring, breathing fire into the air. His rage is heavy in the air. I see Rachel trapped in a large glass container, slamming herself against the sides as she's forced to watch her parents tortured in front of her. Her body is bloodied and beaten, and her face is streaked with tears. I see Carly and Polly chained to walls about 10 feet away from each other. They're both cut up and bleeding, but they pull against their chains, trying to get closer to each other, despite their seemingly broken wrists. I see the firedrake cut in half, the roc crushed nearby, and their egg smashed in between them. I see myself, standing in the middle of it all. My body is ripped and torn. My bionic arm is crushed, and I have an arrow protruding from my chest. A sword is gripped in my good hand. My eyes are empty sockets. Black voids, shifting and writhing. I watch as I lift my sword up and thrust it into my chest. I fall to my knees, and then to the ground. I regain my senses in a rush as my hands come away from the orb. The horrific vision recedes, and I'm left with a dark feeling inside me. I've witnessed my Worst Nightmare.
