Once he felt that he was still unable to breathe properly, he thought of that lucid nightmare as one of the most tragic events of his life. Perhaps, it is just that he was on the verge of something? Or Something beyond his expectation is gonna happen real soon. But how soon?
His mind was constantly alarming
that something more than the dangerous is going to happen real soon, something
that is going to create more havoc that he just felt a moment before. Just at that
moment, he saw his old friend, Medusis Aurithnea entering the room. He became
quite surprised. Because he thought that she might have left with all the other
friends after tonight’s party at his home. But it seemed like she stayed at is
home tonight. He knew that Medusis Aurithnea is one of the biggest sleepyheads he
had ever faced in his whole life span. She was really sleepy even during the
talks. Unless it is something that doesn’t excites her. Although she loved to listen
Luciren even when he is talking nonsense.
Luciren thought that she might
have left. But now she is just entering his room. Perhaps, she fell asleep in
other room staying away from everyone’s eyes while they were partying. So, when
everyone left, she was the only one remained who stayed asleep like the true
beauty who is enchanted in dreams.
Luciren remembered when he woke up from the nightmare, it was almost dark and perhaps the clock was still yawning and stretching its metallic hands towards 05:00 AM, announcing the first ray of the Sun is soon going to peek through his window’s glass that are protected by the warm and heavy curtains. But now, it seemed like the whole scenario changed. The clock completely vanished into thin air, like it never existed. Apart from that, Medusis entering the room feels weird, she shouldn’t be just here. His mind was processing at the maximum velocity. Is it possible that he has just stepped into some other dimensional multiverse while his mind was between the consciousness and unconsciousness? Or he is just having the FALSE AWAKENING?
She was looking prettier than usual. Perhaps, it was dark and her slitted green eyes were hypnotizing him. She cancelled the distance and walked towards him and sits besides his bed. Under the spell of surprise, he wanted to ask her why didn’t she leave? Or why is she here? But he soon realized that he has lost the sense to speak as soon as she sat beside him.
He looked at her thoroughly. She
was wearing the same dress she came to the party – revealing clothed dark
purple maxi which were almost showcasing as the pieces of rags. Perhaps, they
turned into a complete mess because she slept in that. Apart from that, what
Luciren observed the most was her eyes. He never knew that they were so much hypnotical
and warm. It wouldn’t be wrong if he had called it the true sorcery because he
was never enchanted by any of the eyes. His breaths were already losing, seeing
that Medusis let her charms go wild. She caressed Luciren tresses – he felt something
magical surging through his head. She continued, and played her fingers
throughout the facial extensions – that was the moment, Luciren realized it’s not
something lovely, he is being petrified, and it’s not her fingers lovingly dancing
on his face, they are actually scratching his skins away. Her beautiful messy
hairs resembled the serpents dancing on her head.
Ah! Isn’t it intimidating?
Getting petrified by the person you just fantasized beautiful who enters in
your life making a warm and cozy scenario and suddenly stone you to death? His
face was peeled off and the blood started dripping stains on the white pillows
he was leaning on. But the petrification saved his bleeding – running from the tresses
to his dark claret-red eyes, transforming ruby into gray stones with no luster
and converting the dripping blood into frozen sands that stuck with his peeled-off
and dead gray cheek.
His head was spinning. He never knew that there could be some sorcerer amongst his friends. But how could he identify her even if she was? She never used to speak much to anyone, all she used to do is sleep in the middle of the parties. Ah! That’s just it. So, the chapter ends here? With meeting his demise through one of his friends? It wasn’t something he could ever predict? The man who ditched nature rules so many times and even so many circumstances through his extreme intelligence is just going to meet his demise because he once found a someone beautiful and enticing?
The petrification was running with the same speed of his thoughts. The difference was his thoughts were all in his head, while petrification was running down to his body, but soon he realized that something is penetrating his neck. But how could it be possible? It was already stoned. How in the world his vessels could still be giving signals to his brain? His body suddenly took a horrible shiver, it felt like someone just glitched the whole scenario and all of a sudden, he was on his bed all alone staring at the clock whose metallic hands were directing towards 05:10 AM.
“So, I was in the loop of
constant nightmares. First, it was the lucid nightmare, and now, it just extended
its wings to draw perfect false awakening? So perfect that even my powerful
mind couldn’t even specify it?”
“But does it mean that Medusis is still sleeping somewhere in his home”? It could be, because he couldn’t reminisce her amongst his friends when they were leaving at night. So, what did he had? A false awakening or a premonition dream? It was confusing, but one thing his mind made clear that Medusis didn’t leave, instead, she is still in his home sleeping somehow somewhere closed, he could feel a second aura through the echoing walls of his home. He gets down his bed, and leaves his room to find her.
