Nightmare

Somewhere in a dense forrest there was an aged tower. With a menacing aura that surrounds the tower, no creatures dare to step onto the lawns surround it. With their instincts, they knew something horrific was in there though they can't comprehend what it was.

On the velvet chair sat a figure with fine crimson hair falling onto her exposed shoulder. She sat cross-legged showing slender and smooth pair of legs through slit of the coal colored dress.

The figure swirl the wine in her glass as she took a sip looking out of the window into the dark skies, as if trying to seek for something with those golden eyes of hers.

The woman snapped her fingers then another figure appeared out of black mists. She looked into the figure's eyes and murmured something as her eyes lit up a glowing light matching theirs. "Go there and retrieve the finest creation, you know what to do if you get caught," she commanded.

The figure twitched and cranked ever so slightly as they responded, "yes, My Ruler." With a POOF the figure disappeared through the black mists in which they came from.

The woman turned her attention back to the dark skies surrounding the moon. She gave a sly smile as she murmured to herself, "soon darling, very soon."

Megan was running. Why was she running? From what? She didn't know but she kept on running.

Where was she? Everything around her seemed like the void, it's all gloomy and pitch black. She looked back to see nothing was chasing her. Megan came a stop as she gasps for breath and felt her heart beating rapidly in her chest.

"Heed my warning, child" a voice echoed through the void.

The next moment Megan was laying down on nothing in peculiar as her vision became red. She felt like something was holding her down and suffocating her. She couldn't break free as she tries to fight back the several red hands pinning her down.

Megan moved her body frantically only for her to hear a demonic laugh echoing in the red void. She was terrified beyond words and is confused on why she was being choked and held down for. Then she saw fire coming towards her fast.

The figures was still hold her down even though the flames engulf the both of them.

The laughing echoed still with the phrase, "Heed my warning, child" continue to repeat in the red void.

"AHH!" Megan gasped and held her chest as she looked at every single corner of her room to see if the figures were in here. Her back was full of cold sweat and so was her hair. She used her blanket as a cover for potential danger as she was too alert from what she dreamt of.

Sura woke up startled by Megan's shriek. "Master, what's wrong?" the she-dragon flew over to the bed and looked at Megan breathing heavily.

"I-I had a nightmare" she answered with a small voice.

The she-dragon held up her claws and casted a spell to let Megan's nerves cool down.

Megan felt warmth in her chest as her breathing slowly come back to normal. She stopped fidgeting and sweating as the magic do it's work.

"Feel better?" Asked the she-dragon.

"Hm thank you Sura" Megan gave a slight smile as she looked at her dragon. "Sura, do you have any idea what this evil being looks like?"

"God did not say anything specific. I can only tell that this evil being existed because I can feel the magically energy they are emitting. I do not know if they were humans, immortals, or a different kind of creature" Sura answered shaking her head.

A long silence followed as Megan pondered about this crazy situation. She had to defeat this being, which she does not have any information on. The being is powerful enough to find the bakery and cast a non-distinguishable fire spell.

"I want you to be honest Sura. Will this mission cost my life and the others?" Megan asked with a serious tone.

The she-dragon stared back at her grey eyes and said, "as long as I am here Master, you will not die at the hands of the evil being. It is prophesied you will defeat them, not the other way around."

"But will there be lives at cost in this prophecy? If I am not dying then what about the team that I am planning to make?"

"I do not know" Sura answered honestly. It's true though, the prophecy never said anything about teammates working with the Blessed Child. This was different than original prophecy.

Megan looked outside to see the sun slowly rose up shining its rays at the snow beneath.

She wasn't stupid, Megan knew this evil being is powerful and is not to be taken lightly of. She was the Blessed Child who will save the lands here and beyond if she defeat this being but... should she go alone? Obviously the nightmare had something to say, but looks like she needed to reconsider the lives she would take if she didn't go alone.
