Land of Dreams

The savior

I hoped for the end. For this nightmare to end. The cold, I was feeling no wind, no warmth. I don't know where I am and I don't want to. I feel like giving up. Like being gone would be enough. But I started to hear some voices. An old man was talking to someone. Suddenly I started to feel the wet floor, the warmth and two pairs of strong arms dragging me somewhere. Am I that heavy? What a stupid question.
"Put her here and chain her. She is not going anywhere. We need to test her and see if she is the chosen one." the old man said.
Then those arms stopped and chained me next to the stoned wall.

Few hours later I finally opened my eyes. It was dark but warm in this dungeon. I was alone, no windows but torches on the walls. It was enough for me to see the doors. I could escape. But I was chained.
Then someone entered. Two men came closer to me and unchained me. Then started to drag me upstairs, then through warm but old looking corridors until we were standing in a room full of tall looking people. They were holding some drinks and looked royal but a few of them were chained. Then I saw the thrown. Big and powerful looking in which the old man was sitting. And that crown on his head. It was made out of little skulls. He raised up and started his speech while two guards were dragging me next to the chained ones. But one tall guy with black hair and a mask looked at me. Somehow I felt like knowing him from somewhere but I couldn't remember. He looked at me surprised and didn't smile. But his presence made me feel safer.
The old man started to speak about new era that will come tonight and how he'll become the most powerful king in Alfheim. Then he stopped and looked at us.
"These souls are going to be drowned into the white star water. Who will raise - is going to be the most powerful creature in history and be by my side throughout the upcoming war."Then he made a gesture to start with a young boy who was probably 12 years old. Two guards dragged him to the water as he loudly cried and begged for mercy. Those tall ones who were standing with drinks were quite. They just looked at the boy who two minutes later was completely lifeless. Then they tried the same with other ones until it was time for my turn. They aggressively started to drag me and I started to bite them. But that didn't effect any of them. At the moment I my arms touched the water I started to feel stronger but at the same burned. Few seconds later I was completely underwater. There was no sound, no air and no fear. Suddenly I felt completely different. Maybe stronger and powerful. I raised from the water. Slowly. I felt everyone's eyes at me, at my new and strong body. Then I stopped going and waited to be commanded.
Everyone were shocked as I died and was reborn. Perfectly fine, standing in front of a Mad King.
