Chapter 53: Axis

"There you are, dear. You were hurt pretty bad but with enough rest, you will be up and running in no time!," the nurse said with a smile.

"My insides hurt...," Owen said putting his hand on his stomach.

"I know," the nurse said. "You were bleeding, but I gave you a remedy to treat it and then you are free to go"

After leaving the nurses office, Owen started walking down the hall to go back to the classroom. Since everyone was in class, so the was little to no one in the hallway. All of a sudden, he began to feel lightheaded. He stumbled as he walked and caught the wall. He tried propping himself up against it. He stared feeling dizzy.

The room around Owen was spinning. He caught himself almost sliding down the wall as he looked ahead. He saw a somewhat familiar face walking towards him. A boy with snow white, spikey hair and a black sweatshirt. On his shirt was some kind of insignia. The insignia was of a bullet surrounded in blue flames. The boy wore a blue scarf around his neck.

"You...," the boy said. "Is everything ok?"

Owen then suddenly snapped out of whatever had made the room spin and stood up against the wall.

"Y-yeah..just my head...," Owen said touching his forehead to check for a change in his temperature.

"Your head? That's incredibly strange...Owen, is it?," The boy asked.

"Y-yes, how did..."

"You are in the same class as me...I know you though, but you do not know me..."

"Know me...?"

"My name is Axis...and I know about your situation"

"Situation?"

" 'come seek me out!!!'? Seem familiar?"

Owen stumbled back in confusion.

"H-how did you know about the dream?!"

"I can smell it all over you...I have been trained to know a chosen un when I see one..."

"A chosen...what?," Owen said in confusion.

"It will all become clear in time...but for now...here," Axis said as he handed him a rolled up scroll.

Owen unraveled the scroll.

"Its blank!," Owen exclaimed in confusion.

"Ah! Not blank. Only to be revealed by one who was chosen by the angelic spirit," Axis said as he then grinned.

Owen was confused. How did Axis know so much about this situation?

"Who are you...?," Owen asked.

"Just a blade on the same path," Axis said. He started walking past Owen. Owen then gazed at the scroll. He felt it's fine texture. He gazed up and Axis disappeared.

Owen looked around for a moment and then turned and...

...started walking back to class.
