Chapter 1: The beginning

Afternoon wind was blowing, birds flying up in the horizon and a mother feeding her baby daughter while her husband and son were flying a kite. It was supposed to be a normal picnic day... but sooner or later the memory becomes broken, shattered in a thousand pieces.

The walls are damp, and cold, very cold. The way to the dungeons seem endless, but there is no other escape, this is the only way to not let the chaos break free.
The heart of the woman holding me in her arms is beating faster and faster, and faster... she's terrified... and I know why, I can hear their steps getting closer, the sound of their iron armors, their swords, the sound of fire burning the fabric in their torches, the blood, and the disgusting smell of death that follows it.

-June, take the kids to the Red Dungeon, now! - said a man's voice, a voice that always makes me feel warm, and save, although now it sounded desperate.

With one hand the woman holds me, and with the other grabs the boy and starts running... I can still hear those heartbeats; they make me uneasy. I'm no longer calmed because the man stayed behind, now I'm scared, like the sound I hear coming from the woman's chest.
She says some words and immediately a door opens to a big red room.

She falls on her knees holding us in her warm arms -What should we do!? Talk to me?! - She yelled at the ceiling looking for answers I guess. The boy cries but his face is calm as if he understands this situation and is ready to accept whatever the outcome.

-I'm here June -Says the man while entering the room and joining us, seeing him again gives me a sense of safety once more -Now, you know what to do, cast the spell, I'll finish the ritual. -He said.

The woman, tells the boy to hold my hands tight and not letting them go by any reason, I don't get it but something tells me that my life is about to change, forever.
The woman starts saying some words that I don't understand but in my heart I feel a pain so deep that I can feel my soul breaking in multiple pieces.
A tear falls down my face and a second after, I started crying unconsolably. I see the man coming to me, why do I feel this is the last time I'll see him? He kisses me on my forehead and suddenly I feel sleepy

-Don't forget, my baby daughter, that we are today a reflection of what we will be tomorrow.

*****

I open my eyes with the sound of the alarm,
-The same stupid dream again.
