MYSTERY

Random passage :) Enjoy

I woke up sweating, the room was spinning in circles. It was becoming painful; but with every breath it got clearer. Breathe in Breathe out i commanded myself. It helped. As much as it could with the hangover that i stupidly got myself into. I never do well with alcohol it never sits right but last night, camp songs and alcohol felt like an amazing mix for some of the only remaining people in this realm. There is something about being in the wilderness under the stars. Some what good company even if they're not under great circumstances singing stupid old songs with the sour burning liquid going into the pits of our empty grumbling stomachs.

The surroundings had changed yet again as I woke and of course they would. We travel at night; better to be on the safe side. Today's morning view was almost as stunning as the mystery I keep seeing in my mind; every time i shut my eyes. This was a vision that i felt i had not laid my eyes upon in what felt like years. It felt like a piece of home. A moment of peace. My word did we need some peace. It was a beautiful shade of pink blending into a light pale blue in the early morning rise over the mountains covered in layers and layers of snow. From our pervious winter; it blended in so well with the clouds looking like fluffy marshmallows. My god its been to long since i had marshmallows with hot coco. My mother used to make the most amazing tasting ones. That almost brought a tear to my eye. My stomach squirmed and I had to hold in my sickly alcoholic puke. The air was freezing but just by looking outside my small confided tent filled you with warmth and gratitude.

The fire was next to me and my camp, smoke rise in the mild wind flowing around us as it slowly burns out to a thin fog. It wasn't helping my already clouded and foggy mind at least it was thinning now.
I looked around startled my still spinning to find where my tent being unzipped from at a rapid pace. Once i found the source of the noise I grabbed my sword just in case. I was lucky that the quick motion didn't make me feel worse. In these parts you never know when you will need a sword plus you can never be to careful. Well any parts for that matter. Dragons have upgraded with the times. People now train them; meaning that in a matter of a seconds I could be dealing with skin cremating flames, so could the fellow men i travel with.

" What a hell of a party that was last night, sir... sir are you okay you look as white as a sheet" Henry the youngest of our group splurted out to me. Henry was the kindest soul of our group. He got hit the worst when... when they came. His parents and sister didn't make it. They said they were doing what's best, what's best for everyone; but no one really believed them.

" ummm ye...yes I'm fine tha..thank you Henry; um well i guess you just started me" i said sheepish to him as i slowly splutted out my words.

I had been getting nightmares of late. This mysterious girl kept appearing. I guess some could say that everything was startling me lately and they're is only so long I could blame the dragons.
This girl has to mean something; I've never seen her but since the war broke out every time I've been able to go to sleep she calls my name in the most angelic voice. She could be a somewhat key to fighting these things But again I have no clue whom she is nor what she wants. At this point its terrifying me. I feel so drawn to her. I enjoy going to sleep at this point just to see her. My mysterious girl.

There were originally 10 0f us on our mission to slay the great beast but currently we have 5 remaining. Half our men gone but we are still fighting as strong as we can for a couple of nobodies. Henry as already stated the youngest, and you would think the weakest but he continues to surprise us. Norbert but everyone calls him Bert, probably the biggest out of all of us but well he doesn't have much going on up there if you get what i mean. Winston the smartest, and the most annoying one; it's annoying how smart one person can be. Louis the funniest. He keeps our spirts up when we don't see a light. I think if Louis didn't make it we would all be living in our own nightmares... well i suppose i already am and on the subject of myself. My name is Maria... didn't see that one coming. I got by the name M. Well what can i say when you are born a fighter its hard to put yourself in bubble wrap when people are dying for your princess arse.
