Through That Dream

Chapter III

-Listen to Imagination by Foster The People-

"In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straightway was lost"

- Dante Alighieri

"Boink boink, your hair is combed in a funny waaaay" Duke said while she rubbed and messed up my holy hair, I swatted her hand away, she pouted and I just chuckled then I closed the Uber's door, while the car disappeared in the dark I took out my phone and called Kate to tell her that her drunkard girl was on her way home, she answered and we talked for a bit and I hung up after that I just felt relieved but weird, I don't really know to explain it, this few moments I spent with Duke made me think about the old times, the times where nothing was messed up, a time where I didn't realise what kind of person she was, a time when we were inseparable.

I decided to forget about all that stuff because they didn't do any good to my already messed up mental health so I started to think about what Mace told me, You study the theory and methodology of magic, that sentences was being thrown from one part of my mind to another and even though I tried to not think about it , it always came back, I mean, it made a little bit of sense, before I studied the theory and methodology of philosophy but this confirms the fact that all the stuff that was normal for me, now is adapted to this world and that makes me wonder what else has changed, *Thinking L face*.

A cold breeze made me be aware of my surroundings and I realised I had walked around 4 blocks in that lapse of thought and while I tried to look for a place to eat I heard a loud bang and explosion in a street a couple of meters in front of me and then it felt like hell broke loose and shit ton of screams but the loudest sounds were the voices of two guys and it seemed like they were having a discussion.

"Sir, please, stop and surrender yourself, there's no need for more people to get hurt" one the guys yelled and by his clothes I came to the conclusion he was a cop but the most outstanding was a big water shield that was protecting a group of people.

"DAMN BUREAUCRACY, YOU CORRUPT FUCKERS, YOU FEED OF OUR HARD WORK LIKE LEECHES AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL BE LISTENED" Said the other man loudly.

Well, that yells I'm a villain, such a low cause to be honest but you could feel the hurt in his voice so I pitied him until he started to get on fire, literally, this ain't no Alicia Keys song, his flames colour were a pretty strong orange which made me believe they were hot as the pits of hell but using my nerdy brain I remembered they were around 1200 °C, what? I'm a nerd, alright? Suck it up, but anyways, those flames could instantly turn you into a barbecue, every cannibal's dream, huh.

With every word that man said his flames became white-ish and you could see a little blue inside them but then his skin started to light up, the officer retired to the back of the water shield and soon after the fire guy exploded into a lot of tiny pieces and they were dispersed throughout all of that street and a blood pool was visible in the place that guy was standing before, I got splashed with a lot of blood for some reason and so I left my "Hideout" and then I tripped thanks to one of the man's arms, I got scared shitless and then crouched to see it clearly, his fingers still moved a little, it was quite gloomy and even more so because the fact that in some fingers you could see the bone and in others it was simple charred flesh.
