First retriever - Part 1

***

I suddenly wake up in an empty room, there I see Garnet and Taka, being tied by the column in the interior of a building, a wooden column painted in red. The strange thing is that the red column doesn't belong to our house where we are living, but it probably belongs to another house. I was about to move, but then I realized I couldn't do anything. It is just one of those dreams who tell me how is the future going to be, so I have to stay and watch how it is going on.

"Help!" yelled Garnet, trying to free herself from those ties. "HELP!"

"Nobody will help you, treasure." says a man wearing a yellow hood, leaving the dark and coming close to her. "Your Father will give me a lot of money for you."

"Let her go!" says Taka to the man, but the man didn't listen to her nor seemed intimidated by her requests.

"Or what? Clonning Battle skill will never work on me. I have taken all of your powers into my crystal." he says while he holds a crystal to her. "And your friend's magic is useless against my silver necklace. Every spell threw at me will not be able to touch me."

The man in a yellow hood came to me, and he looks into my eyes.

"Thanks to your naive messenger, I wouldn't be able to come here and capture this treasure. You should be proud to not be slain by Mitch or eaten by Tom."

Then, the man in a yellow hoodie left me there, speechless. The girl were looking terrified at me for some reason, but before I would be able to see what they were terrified, something unexpected has happened. The scenery has suddenly changed. The interior of the building where we were on the forest, and there it is Ulfred and me, who are facing a man dressed in a costume and with a hat, holding a cane.

"What are you?" says Ulfred to that man.

"I am the second one." says the man in a hat before he was about to launch a spell into me.

Then, the scenery changed again, and this time, I was back at the Capital. And in front of my view, it is Fiona, staying on her knees and crying. She holds a small body. The shocking thing about that body, it is the fact that it belongs to me. But the thing is I am in front of her, not the one body she is holding with her muscular arms. Before I could try to do something else, a man appears on her back, and this one is dressed into a noble costume while he is holding a scythe.

"Goodbye, Fiona Lunderberg!" says the man before he did the final strike on her, and by that decapitating her head off.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yelled out when I woke up from this nightmare which has startled Garnet who got up thanks to my yelling.

"Judah! Judah! Calm down, Judah!" she says, going to me, holding me to not do anything stupid and trying to shake me up from this nightmare I am having. "Calm down!"

After a while, I have started to stop from getting scared because now I am in reality, and this means the things I have dreamed about didn't happen. Not yet, at least.

Garnet looks scared at me, and she asked if I am alright, and I say that I have a bad nightmare. I didn't mention to hear I have this dream visions, which are basically a trait to my whole family. My entire family (who are wizards or mages mostly) are able to dream the future and got the chance to change it. This is not the first time I have this type of dreams. I, too, have also learned from my family book that these dreams are always accurate if you can predict it correctly. But the thing is, all of these small dreams sequences weren't happening on only one space. They happened in a lot of different scenarios.

"Hey!" says Garnet to me while I was daydreaming. "Are you feeling fine?"

"Yes." I respond to Garnet while I am getting off the bed. "I'm sorry. It was just a nightmare I was having."

"Don't worry. Everyone has nightmares." says Garnet trying to console me, and I think this one quite actually helped me.

Garnet leaves the room to let me change in my usual clothes, also she is going to prepare the breakfast, like in every single morning since we have started this "kidnapping".

A few hours later, while I was on the backyard and tested my aim by using a spell which I memorized perfectly from my spell spook. It is a spell that launches a ray of light into a location I am aiming at. I am tested my aiming by using a test dummy crafted by Ulfred using a few materials he found on this area. The test dummy has a rock head, one sack with grass and a few sticks to show the arms and legs.

It was hard trying to hit them by using my staff because I am more used to attack with my wand since it was easy to hold, and it didn't consume a big quantity of mana power. But I am also feeling unwell since I had those strange dream visions.

I tried to talk at the breakfast with the others, but they didn't believe me. They told me that those were some nightmares. Not even Garnet trusted me, even though we were sleeping in the same room, and assisted at my freak-out. If they do not believe me, there it is at least a few people who are able to believe me. Right when I tried to message Fiona the things I have dreamed, the first sequence of the dream vision hit me. So I decided to not do it by using a spell, or trying a method to stop Edward (Guild Messenger) to visit us from now on.

I aimed my staff at that test dummy and hit the spell with it, which it almost broke the whole sack. I leave this area and retreat to the house to rest because I was starting to run low on mana, and this is not a good thing. Especially when we can be hit at any time, even though the last five days nobody tried to attack us, but this is not a reason for me, Ulfred and Taka to let guard down. At any time can someone attack us.

I entered the kitchen and there I saw Taka and Ulfred who were about to leave the house.

"Take care of the house while we are leaving." says Ulfred to me.

"Where are you two going?" I ask them.

"To the Merchants. We need to buy food materials." says Ulfred. "You stay here and take care of Garnet."

"I will. But be careful out there."

"We will." says Ulfred with a smile. "And you have to stay here without doing some troubles!"

"I will..." I say to them, feeling a little nervous.

When these two left the house, I am looking around and this time, I have started to shake.

"Looks like I am on my own." I said without noticing Garnet who left the bedroom.
