A Nightmare (1)

Azadi got up from his bed and stepped onto the dirt below him and went to wash up at the sink.

He splashed his face with water and brushed his teeth looking at himself in the mirror. He has his usual sun kissed skin but now with snow white hair which was contrasting marvelously with his skin.

He also seemed far older now with a far more refined jawline compared to his far more rounded face. His hair also seemed to have stayed long it seems he never cut it short as his hair reached the back of his neck. The scars on his arms were still the same as they usually were.

'What the hell?'

It was as if he was a spectator in someone else's body watching through their eyes.

Except.. it was his own body?

'Is this me? No can't be I have black hair but.. those scars on his hands.. they.. they are definitely the same..'

He began putting on what seemed to be a black military suit with hat and tie and all. The suit almost looked authoritarian with its design, it had red highlights and gold colored buttons with a red tie and white shirt.

Now outfitted with his black coat he stepped outside the beige colored tent revealing to him a whole camp bustling with people.

'A- Alive! Alive people!'

Observing the camp full of people it was quite refreshing not seeing snow any longer and seeing the ground and grass once more.

'Aaahh it feels so nice.'

He could feel the warmth of the sun on his skin giving him comfort.

Although he had no control over his.. the body he could still feel everything he felt.

'It must be spring.'

He was walking towards a direction with purpose in each step.

'I can even feel his emotions this is so disorienting.'

He yawned and finnaly he heard himself speak though he did sound groggy:

"I overslept damn Dahlia is going to chew me out ughh."

'Well doesn't seem like I've changed too much.'

Azadi had ended up reaching a especially large tent and entered it seeing many people seated at a round table.

Doing a two fingered salute and in a amused and worried tone said:

"Yo."

The table turned to look at him with a disgruntled look.

A lady with the black long hair, pale porcelain skin and a paean black colored rose tattoo stretching from the back of her left shoulder up to the start of her cheek spoke:

"Just sit the hell down Az."

'Az?'

He took his seat at the table awkwardly.

Looking at them he noticed that they all seemed to wear similar outfits with slight differences which were probably personalized to them.

One man with silver messy hair, white skin and a white uniform along with lightning colored eyes spoke up next:

"Anyways as I was saying before Azadi's interruption it seems the King is coming from the north. Scouts have confirmed soldiers coming about 800 kilometer up and from the average soldiers speed that I've seen…"

He stopped his sentence and seemed t be in thought momentarily.

"25 kilometers an hour yeah that should be right. Though they are taking breaks and with how many of them they were the scouts confirmed about 1250 of them. So I'd say it'll probably take a week or two before they arrive but to be on the safe side let's say a week"

He could feel Azadi put on a small smirk before he spoke:

"So what should we do Einstein?"

The man glared at him for a moment before speaking up again:

"Orion first of all, uggh whatever but we can't let them reach further down we have to intercept them."

Azadi muttering under his breath:

"Ughh what a hassle."

The lady next to him with the rose tattoo stepped on his foot after hearing this.

In a whispered voice he spoke again:

"Sorry Dahlia."

'huh.. That's Dahlia!? There is no way! Dahlia has slightly brown skin though it is a bit on the whiter side and she has Brown hair what the hell!'

Now man with red hair about the same length as mine, yellow colored eyes and brown skin spoke:

"You think he's bringing Jester Einstein? I have score to settle with that bastard."

Orion AKA Einstein was a bit disgruntled at his nickname but remained composed.

"He always brings that fool with him to battle like this… this is going to be a hard one guys so let's set out we are lucky our scouts spotted them although their troops are large in numbers that bastards abilities really are overpowered even rivals yours I'd say Az."

Looking up from the map on the table and looking at Einstein he spoke:

"First of all you don't get to call me that second of all you are right he is on the overpowered side but that doesn't matter because there are people with no abilities at all that have beat me."

He glanced at a Brolic looking old man with many scars on his body and also the only one not in uniform in stead he was wearing a gray ragged gi.

He had gray messy hair and a beard.

"Abilities don't determine people's if it's possible to win if you are strong enough that shi-"

Dahlia was glaring at him.

"that stuff doesn't matter."

'What in the actual hell is going on. Are we in a war? And who's this king guy?'

Another woman with long straight black hair and bangs along with purple skin and two white ivory horns from her head she also had blue eyes and hand a strange looking branching blue pattern on her arms.

"Meeting over? Alright let's get the, ready we need to set out."

When Azadi blinked the scene changed he was walking through the camp once more.
