Time to Leave
Part 2: Dreams

Rosilio:

Valeriana lay in bed, sleeping but not asleep. The night was torn apart by endless bouts of tossing and turning. Images danced across her brain in a cinematic of chaos. Slowly, the images began to congeal into a more solid form. Tangible, but only just.

A hazy, heavy mist-covered field
A man in the distance
Walkin towards me.. us?
I know this man, he is my father
he is wavin goodbye.. smilin, sad eyes

Fire burns away the mist
Screams, tearin at my ears
Screams of pain from one direction
Screams of hate from the other
The fire burns away the screams
Burns away everythin...

Revealin a face, lookin at me, smilin...
Her eyes do not smile
I know this woman, she is Jena
Surrounded by machines,
She reaches a hand out to me
I extend my own hand to her
It is enveloped
By metal and machine, consumin me
I close my eyes
I am devoured...

My eyes open again, I see another
A small creature, playful and simple lookin
It's eyes, dangerously mischievous
This creature is Ma-Duk. How do I know this?
It reaches a hand out to me
I extend my own hand back
It is enveloped
By plant and energy, consumin me
I close my eyes
I am devoured...

My eyes open again, there is a third
A male being watches over Jena and Ma-Duk
He holds Atys in his palms
This man is Elias. How do I know this?

Suddenly a shriek that splits my brain,
A cry for blood; loud, strong and multiplyin
I turn to look and see a livin ocean
Swarms of creatures, giant and spidery, everywhere
In death's carapace, the swarm consumes all
Behind the swarm is a fourth being,
Watchin
Laughin
Without mercy
Fear strikes my heart like a lance of ice
Fear consumes me
Fear devours me...

Valeriana shot from her pillow, sitting up; back rigid and body drenched in sweat. "Only a dream", she quavered, trying to convince herself. The last images seared her mind's eye. She knew those creatures from many childhood stories. Slowly, she lowered her head back to her pillow and tried to fall back to sleep.

“Only a dream”, she whispered to herself.
