Chapter Three: Dreams of Dark and Light
Ashugaren found himself surrounded by a black void. No matter where he turned, he could only see darkness. Light flooded the void. It pierced through his eyelids and when he attempted to cover his face, it shone right through. Blinded by light, he stumbled and he felt himself falling. Down he went.
He fell onto a soft surface. When he regained his sight, he looked where he had landed. It looked quite hard to him. He was lying on the cold stone floor of Kerning City. When he stood up, he tried to teleport, but found that he could not. When he saw a thief, he tried to ask for money to get back to Ellinia as he had no money with him. When the thief did not reply, he tried to tap him on the shoulder, but his hand went right through. It was only then when he looked at his hands. They were no longer the hands of a 7 year old, but the hands of a full grown adult. When he noted his clothes, he knew that he was in the dream world. These clothes are identical to the ones I wore to sleep. read more
