LU 27 - Shadow 1

Dishes. So may damn dishes. Guess this is what happens when we stay out of the kitchen for so long, Illios said I had to wash them, but she ended up washing them anyway. Sucks to suck. Bruce happened to be out of the kitchen, so no one could walk in and see Illios talk to her "imaginary friend," boy do these nerds have something coming, wait until they see the loud and proud- and that was the start where it all came down. The stone started to glow. "Hey your disco ball is glowing" Illios looked down "What disco ball- what the-" Something familiar. It was that same feeling. It wasn't right. Seren was dead. "Illios. We should... go." Slow steps. My gait was almost like a trance, slowly but surely picking up pace. Now I feel myself pushing the ground from under me, whatever strength I had I used to find what I desperately wanted to stop. I would not relive this memory. We arrived at a tall tree, although not too tall, nor too wide. This is where the feeling originated. Illios looked around. "Were are we?" "Well by the looks of it, green, leaves, way too many trees, gee this a jungle?" She didn't respond, guess the sarcastic comment didn't help with the mood. The stone stopped glowing, so we were where we wanted to be, so now what? We walked around the tree, hoping there'd be something. Well, there was. A hole about the size of a person, gaped in the side of the tree, almost inviting us to give it a look. Climbing the vines, I made my way up, and there she was. Edelle. Illios climbed the tree, and saw for herself. Covered in the remaining vines that once held her, was a girl that slept for one thousand years. How was she alive? I couldn't hold myself together. When she finally stirred, I found myself pointing the trident towards her face. "W-who are you. Who the hell are you. Why do you look like her, of all people her." Illios eventually pushed me aside, so I could control my anger... or maybe it was confusion. She didn't seem to remember who we were, but she responded to her name. We brought her back to the apartments, Illios guiding Edelle, whilst I held the stone. Finally, after a long trip, we arrived. The stone started to glow again. This time, another familiar feeling arose as I dropped the stone, and felt myself returning to Illios's mind... when Illios turned around, we both shared one thought that turned the whole world upside-down.
Him.

Dreams. One moment, Morpheus's tree stood alone in the dark realm, along with Illios and I. Then... Nothing. Nothing at all. Wherever I walked, no matter where I looked, there was darkness, but I always ended up somewhere, where a tree stood alone. Gazing upon it gave rise to a sense of longing, yet fear. It was only a tree. But, dreams are dreams, it's quite easy to get distracted in them, until a disturbance strays you away from it. After all, all dreams have to come to an end, no? 
Awaken... young one. Open your eyes once more to the world... and find me. It is finally time to end this nightmare. And with that, my vision cracked, a bright light behind it, and everything before me shattered... brought back into reality... one thousand years later.
