I then heard a big sound outside, we both did, one that made us shiver. It frightened110Please respect copyright.PENANAlvvjrUWw8J
me deeply and as much as I wished it to be just the one scare, it was not to be.110Please respect copyright.PENANA7CN6Gj5NSc
“It has begun.” He confessed rather calmly as if he was already expecting it.110Please respect copyright.PENANAbVnfieb1Yg
Many more terrible sounds soon followed, screams and other noises of terror just110Please respect copyright.PENANAYPhwS1olo4
outside that room, and as my eyes began rummaging in a most panicky manner, he110Please respect copyright.PENANATKvVZjNzK1
placed his hands on my cheeks and stared right at me: “It’s alright.” He reassured me110Please respect copyright.PENANAPLCi3NQs4E
“This is intended, you understand? It is according to the plan.” He was staring at me110Please respect copyright.PENANAqJvJWbytO7
with deep concern, but there was no lie in his words.110Please respect copyright.PENANA38A4poHsLG
“What is happening?” I reluctantly asked, “What is this place?” I felt like I was110Please respect copyright.PENANAbkLhFGsI02
finally able to understand myself for the most part, or at least most of my spoken110Please respect copyright.PENANACLF5Ul6y8F
words were now sounding just like my thoughts before I voiced them. “Please?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAQQWgwPDFIZ
I insisted ...110Please respect copyright.PENANAgkMBV202uB
“We don’t have much time for this,” Those hoarse words pushed through between110Please respect copyright.PENANArz5H9ojNV3
nervous breaths, and it seemed I could now understand them without too much110Please respect copyright.PENANAA4mW91apYL
impediment “but you have just been awakened ... or born, if you will.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAp56MhSFURy
“I don’t understand,” I begged for more as he turned his back to me to begin those110Please respect copyright.PENANAbwyTzsqLGe
rushed preparations, and when I was about to insist, he spoke to me some more.110Please respect copyright.PENANAgTdkbxIvfu
“You were born into this world - born, the word born, you already know the110Please respect copyright.PENANAZQm3k9oVqZ
meaning?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAEYOrJdpwto
“Yes ...”110Please respect copyright.PENANAKfHcGsod0N
“Yes, of course, you do.” He responded with a smile before continuing, “Either way,110Please respect copyright.PENANASX1xH5cxUz
you were born into it or perhaps brought here from another; not even I know for sure110Please respect copyright.PENANAyQeQ3tAjCg
which one applies more correctly. Not even after so many... Anyway, I know you are to110Please respect copyright.PENANAk3O9XCeZcF
be charged with bearing most of this world’s responsibility.”110Please respect copyright.PENANA9rs6YCAcLD
“Charged?” I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAwY8BuDqMtE
“Yes charged, and by none other than yourself. But first, we need to get you out of110Please respect copyright.PENANApo60eehhIU
here. We must deliver you somewhere safe.” He stopped to look straight at me “I know110Please respect copyright.PENANAQoacgXMU1m
you have so many questions, but it is imperative that you save them for later.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAGCUsq9Sje1
“You must put your trust in me, you understand? You must trust me and be patient.110Please respect copyright.PENANA84OzL9O3MK
Time itself will tell you all that you might want to know right now and then some. Just110Please respect copyright.PENANATjM9CPDMVp
wait.” He turned again to resume those rushed preparations; “I take it that it will not110Please respect copyright.PENANA20JtHjkgDE
be long before I am the one turning to you for some answers. For now, just be patient110Please respect copyright.PENANAJZR6pdkqYX
and do what I ask of you.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAGM9xn6UsGN
“What am I? How can I have learned this much already, and so fast?” I stopped for110Please respect copyright.PENANAphp8vM1nVN
a moment, and then looked him in the eye: “And how can I know that is not normal?”110Please respect copyright.PENANAlz9gXrFEAd
“Not a what, but a who.” He replied while turning away from me but still, likely110Please respect copyright.PENANApmk7N4fFFx
against his wishes, I felt that those words were brought forth in a somewhat vague and110Please respect copyright.PENANACIZmg7r9tK
unassertive manner.110Please respect copyright.PENANAhSp9duuNZL
“Who then...” I could not help but be distracted by all that was raging on just outside110Please respect copyright.PENANAfx7koQO98C
that room; the several noises rampaging all around, those constant screams escorted110Please respect copyright.PENANAOZYhkQENYY
now by other gruesome sounds of violence. I tightly shut my eyes for a moment, in110Please respect copyright.PENANAfe1xqvnMjW
the hopes that somehow it would all go away, and then looked at him again. I found110Please respect copyright.PENANAOAMLgkrTVs
comfort in that even if he himself seemed desperate to finish gathering all sorts of110Please respect copyright.PENANAm8MJQ617Di
things from those silvered tables, he too seemed afraid. “Who then?” I was so hoping110Please respect copyright.PENANANy95dudzwv
he would cave, if just for a moment, but no such luck.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtUmu2LicG1
So, I just sat there, completely free from any physical bonds but with my feelings110Please respect copyright.PENANAgk53XDwlmv
still tying me to that bed. I remained still, watching him pack those last things with110Please respect copyright.PENANAIRLI438hmI
great haste: all sorts of papers and the tools to inscribe on them, some food, and a few110Please respect copyright.PENANAnRpFp7CF9l
other utensils too that I could not yet recognize.110Please respect copyright.PENANAKGr3w0RmLR
I felt so inclined to ask him again, but before I managed to assemble the required110Please respect copyright.PENANAH7Ieopasux
words, I got hit in the head, something fierce!110Please respect copyright.PENANAb55xN8BqZM
A presentiment, a quick vision of a clap of thunder cutting through heavy rain and,110Please respect copyright.PENANAR53WVIGyd9
amidst it all, some sort of airship struggling through it. Could that have been just a110Please respect copyright.PENANAfnvMp2mEma
random trick of my imagination or the thunderclap of catastrophe? What was that?110Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCFl9ow6u
It felt so...110Please respect copyright.PENANAkzigd7Y7PG
A premonition perhaps, or a distorted perception of my unknown present?110Please respect copyright.PENANAxUCR9DcoHT
Surprised I looked at him only for my doubts to be met with a wry grin.
