Ambrose

Ambrose did not want to inherit a weird knife from a crazy person that gave him creepy nightmares.

Since the day he got the knife, he had been getting freaky dreams–visions. Sometimes in the middle of class, sometimes while eating, and sometimes when he was in the toilet. He had no idea what they were supposed to even mean.

One time while he was having lunch at the cafeteria, he saw a vision of a man fighting some sort of sea serpent but dying brutally at its hands. Another time, while he was walking down the hallway, he saw a scene of some sort of king commanding a troop of shadow-like creatures. He was late for class that day because apparently every time he saw those visions, his body would freeze–as if he was asleep. After waking up from the visions, his body felt weak–as if his strength was sucked dry.
