The black sword rises above me as I frantically clamber to my feat in time to block. My glowing blade vibrates in my hand as I parry the blow. I step forward and thrust with my left hand to drive the barbed blade through the man’s armor and into the flesh of his chest. He does not scream and I know that he is lost to it. I see the black smoke start to pour from the mouth of the Dark possessed corpse and I try to raise my blade with my right arm. It is pinned and I throw myself backwards in desperation as another of the Dark possessed comes up behind me.

He grabs my arms and as I struggle the cloud surrounds me. It can’t get it, the seals will hold. But for how long? I strain harder and try to pull free but the hands are like iron and I cannot break free. A faint hissing sound fills my ears and I know the seals are weakening.

They hide in the shadows and want to take me, to make me one of them. I will die first. I start to chant a spell to unleash my soul and die uncorrupted. “Aldrax vol na-” I am interrupted as a glowing blade far larger than mine slices through the cloud and it scatters. Even the Dark possessed can be surprised and I pull free of its grip and fall to the ground as the glowing sword sweeps by over me to strike down the Dark possessed. 

I see him in the light of his blade as he reaches down with his hand. “Thanks” I say and I stretch out my hand to take his…

“Oww”

I wake up with pain in my hand. Oh no, not another dream. I thought I had gotten past them because I hadn’t had one in almost two days. I shake my head and blink my eyes as I look at my I-home with sleep fogged eyes. 7:14 AM, My alarm was due to go off in just a minute. At least I got to sleep for almost the whole night before the dream woke me. 

I untangle myself from the covers and then press the off button just before my alarm can start to blare. Today is a new day and I had such a wonderful time last night. I do have a boyfriend now and that’s awesome. But the dreams are back and if the armor is real and the powers are real. No, I tell myself firmly. I need to focus on school and navigating my first relationship. Besides I don’t have time to be pensive, I have a lab in 20 minutes and I need a shower.
