I then heard a big sound outside, we both did, one that made us shiver. It frightened279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7xB6CyUQV
me deeply and as much as I wished it to be just the one scare, it was not to be.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hHiSZUT3l
“It has begun.” He confessed rather calmly as if he was already expecting it.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokXCbyKhlv
Many more terrible sounds soon followed, screams and other noises of terror just279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOVsfYKp9a
outside that room, and as my eyes began rummaging in a most panicky manner, he279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzNhkASxfA
placed his hands on my cheeks and stared right at me: “It’s alright.” He reassured me279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JwV3beoQZ
“This is intended, you understand? It is according to the plan.” He was staring at me279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvbFHDB9iQ
with deep concern, but there was no lie in his words.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHsHOgPuJ
“What is happening?” I reluctantly asked, “What is this place?” I felt like I was279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr2mq4iZCo
finally able to understand myself for the most part, or at least most of my spoken279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOOV2A8Cg
words were now sounding just like my thoughts before I voiced them. “Please?”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvcLnW5nBi
I insisted ...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pUyqke72
“We don’t have much time for this,” Those hoarse words pushed through between279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdigKzkfAg
nervous breaths, and it seemed I could now understand them without too much279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7cBN287a0
impediment “but you have just been awakened ... or born, if you will.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbFAoAdHKS
“I don’t understand,” I begged for more as he turned his back to me to begin those279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS6W3z38uU
rushed preparations, and when I was about to insist, he spoke to me some more.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxj7g2wPs
“You were born into this world - born, the word born, you already know the279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmppWd6ORF
meaning?”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0kcnOQwTG
“Yes ...”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPtjy0glEz
“Yes, of course, you do.” He responded with a smile before continuing, “Either way,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUHenuhMqw
you were born into it or perhaps brought here from another; not even I know for sure279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpH2gMbalS
which one applies more correctly. Not even after so many... Anyway, I know you are to279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQKmrSto4
be charged with bearing most of this world’s responsibility.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9zImNRFkH
“Charged?” I asked.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkqNTc9vC
“Yes charged, and by none other than yourself. But first, we need to get you out of279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPze06NSfT8
here. We must deliver you somewhere safe.” He stopped to look straight at me “I know279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PP0CoGqP
you have so many questions, but it is imperative that you save them for later.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEeKrP5Fh2
“You must put your trust in me, you understand? You must trust me and be patient.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvzIy7HGz0
Time itself will tell you all that you might want to know right now and then some. Just279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtooLYr3o7P
wait.” He turned again to resume those rushed preparations; “I take it that it will not279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sai9Gdqyi
be long before I am the one turning to you for some answers. For now, just be patient279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0LWES1vFY
and do what I ask of you.”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ytiBeIwJ
“What am I? How can I have learned this much already, and so fast?” I stopped for279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdRC6E7edN
a moment, and then looked him in the eye: “And how can I know that is not normal?”279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI5fWbUJi2
“Not a what, but a who.” He replied while turning away from me but still, likely279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YQb2ILYeZ
against his wishes, I felt that those words were brought forth in a somewhat vague and279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3boP9Fv5n
unassertive manner.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpMUuoMjVT
“Who then...” I could not help but be distracted by all that was raging on just outside279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXL0g3Jrm7
that room; the several noises rampaging all around, those constant screams escorted279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF0XNNyrKd
now by other gruesome sounds of violence. I tightly shut my eyes for a moment, in279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNtUgm8rE
the hopes that somehow it would all go away, and then looked at him again. I found279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRms2KVRwNA
comfort in that even if he himself seemed desperate to finish gathering all sorts of279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqU0EomuQE
things from those silvered tables, he too seemed afraid. “Who then?” I was so hoping279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw71nCvngbL
he would cave, if just for a moment, but no such luck.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w0ft3PTzu
So, I just sat there, completely free from any physical bonds but with my feelings279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH1KtYg4x3
still tying me to that bed. I remained still, watching him pack those last things with279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFsd2Gufc0
great haste: all sorts of papers and the tools to inscribe on them, some food, and a few279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TkkATgTdI
other utensils too that I could not yet recognize.279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZ361fFEm
I felt so inclined to ask him again, but before I managed to assemble the required279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wQZ9ES4hk
words, I got hit in the head, something fierce!279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos83m5woPx
A presentiment, a quick vision of a clap of thunder cutting through heavy rain and,279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDH7o8GD9u
amidst it all, some sort of airship struggling through it. Could that have been just a279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB6hAu2qnw
random trick of my imagination or the thunderclap of catastrophe? What was that?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyrrkIFKUm
It felt so...279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1tohEI4CR
A premonition perhaps, or a distorted perception of my unknown present?279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhjxsRKM9q
Surprised I looked at him only for my doubts to be met with a wry grin.
