Blooming Rose (Book 1): Memories

Chapter 3: Rose

My dream started with me in Obsidian's den, but the dragon wasn't there. I grabbed my quiver and Nightstorm and ran out the cave. I stood on the mountain top and watched as the sunset. It was truly beautiful. Then I realized I had wings. They weren't those delicate fairy wings, or the extremely large dragon wings. They were angel wings. I stared at them in wonder when the ground beneath me shook and I fell off the mountain.

Of course, I had wings so I soared throughout the air. I thought, This must be how Obsidian feels. I flew through the sky when I heard screams. I looked down below me and saw my old village. It was a simple village. The people lived in normal houses, and we still weren't as rich as other villages. It looked just as it had before I left. The only difference was that it was on fire.

The giant oak tree Henry and I met under was engulfed in flames. Screams tore through the night. The village brought back bad memories, but I couldn't just stand there and watch my former home be destroyed. As I flew down to help, the village disappeared. It was replaced with Obsidian. He was unconscious though. He was covered in blood and multiple battle scars, his wings were at awkward angles, and he looked on the verge of death. I screamed at the sight of Obsidian like this and tried to reach him before it was too late, but then he faded. I shrieked in horror. I looked up and wailed at the sky,"Why are you doing this to me?!" I broke down into tears. Then an image of Henry flashed through my mind. A male voice then spoke,

"The girl who was beaten and ran away,
Is destined to fight in attempt to save the day.
You will find her in a dragon's cave,
Where she shall make a decision that shall brave.
When the time is right, her wings will appear.
And she will battle as the end draws near.
But to succeed she cannot duel alone.
A boy from her past, from her old home,
Shall be retrieved and help her win.
She will once again see her kin.
One she loves will die,
And she will say her final goodbye.
In the end she will choose.
And it will determine who will win and who will loose."

I bolted upright and was surprised to realize that my eyes were moist. I was relieved to find Obsidian still here and that I had no wings. It was all just a dream, I thought to myself. But I knew it was more than just a dream. What the man recited in my dream sounded a lot like a Prophecy.

Sure, it was pretty long, but Prophecies could be any length and are very important. They occur in dreams of people that are a part of it and in the dreams of an Oracle as well. If someone ever gets a Prophecy, then it should never be ignored. I wanted to ask Obsidian about it, but he was asleep. I decided to ask him in the morning. Every single word of the Prophecy stuck to my brain.

I fell asleep after a while. However, I woke to the an unfamiliar voice saying,"This is her. This is the girl from the Prophecy."
