The dream

The following morning, Juliet came to check on Peter when she was ready to leave for school, Peter was still asleep. If not for the fact that Peter had pleaded that if she comes to check on him and he was still asleep, she should let him be, she would have wake him up. She sat on her bed staring at the sleeping Peter, after some minutes she sluggishly gave him a kiss on his forehead before runing out of the room with the thought that he would wake up, realizing she had kissed him. Peter was enjoying his sleep, devoid of the happenings around him. He was deeply asleep, the only thing that could wake him up was if he sense danger approaching, if not he could sleep for as long as he wished. Last night, he had already made up his mind to sleep for almost two days so that his spiritual energy could be restored. Apart from the fact that he was unable to have enough sleep because of the environment and the occurrence then, another reason he was unable to have adequate sleep was because of the dream he do have whenever he sleeps. In his dream he's reminded of the explosion experience where he lost his parents, he would see clearly how his parents were tore into pieces by the explosion while he was only forced flying away with an injury on his chest. What injured him wasn't really the explosion, but the mental and the spiritual pain he suffered from seeing his parents tore apart without any remainings, it wasn't that he could not protect them but he wasn't aware of how to use the power he had then. His parents took him away, they didn't allow him to complete his training with his grandfather. Because of that dream, even when he had the chance to sleep he would not. Reason being that, apart from the pain he experienced whenever he had the dream, the dream also worsen his injury.

Having seen the dream for so long, it seemed the person in charge of scene in dream decided to change the event. While sleeping, the dream Peter had was different from what he had been seeing whenever he sleeps. A silhouette was throwing different herds inside a big pot which was filled with water that was on fire, after the herds have dissolve, the old man placed a baby boy who wasn't older than 5 years old in the big pot, despite the hot temperature of the water inside the pot, the small boy didn't make a sound. His body had accustomed to such degree of hotness. Seeing that old man, although he wasn't able to see the face because of the blurriness, the possibility that the man who gave him the lotus which he used to cure his wound then was his grandfather, increased. If that was wrong then the fact that the person who gave him the lotus was the man he was seeing in his dream was certain, because their posture and the way they walked were the same. After an unknown time had passed, a woman and a man came, after exchanging greetings they explained that they would be taking the small boy, the old man urged them to give him more time because the training the boy is going through had reach the most significant part and only a step away from completion. Even with the old man explanations, they took the small boy with them, not because they didn't trust the man, they were certain that he would never hurt their child. It was just that the situation they were in required fast approach. After they left, the man made mention of a magma which was required to complete the small boy training. If the boy could train in a magma for a period of time, the temperature will be able to awaken the abilities of the herds he had taken in since he started his training. But the possibility of finding a magma was very hard, he had been searching for it since the beginning of the training but all his effort has been futile.

While Peter was thinking of that would be the solution to his injured soul, the old man turn to him, looking at him like he was in the scene. Even while the man was facing him, he could not see his face, it was as if there was a blur effect to his face. He didn't know if the man was seeing him, but to him, it was as if he was only in trance

"Don't be scared my child, I can see you. I trained you so you can be useful for yourself and the world at large but you have lived most of your life for someone else. You shouldered the burden that was never yours. You see my child, even if you are to find a magma, it can't heal you injury, it might even add to it. Why do you have to do things that would hurt you because of your dignity? If you are about to lose your life, of what use will that your dignity be? What am I even saying? You are about to die, how can your dignity help you? The dignity you want to protect with your life can't give you life. You have used your life vitality to help restore your strength to the point that you have less than three years to live, only if you stumbled on a fortunate encounter. My child, anything that can't give you something you wanted to give out in return or more, you should not give such out." The old man said looking at Peter.

"Sir, who are you talking to me? Are you my grandfather? Are you the one who gave me the lotus? How can I heal my injury?" Peter asked all the questions that had been bothering him because he didn't know when he would be given such opportunity again. If there would be a question and answer section like this whenever he sleeps, he would like to sleep every time even if there is no time to do so he would find one.
