Down either side all he could see were those colors, stretching out forever, with no door or light at the end like he would have expected from a movie. He started to wander down one end, but stopped as what appeared to be pictures started to swim down the ‘walls’ and ‘ceiling’. As they came closer they started moving, or rather, he could start to make out movement; each one was different, with many of them showing people and places he couldn’t recognize. David moved to touch one, and it expanded, creating a whole new reality around him. The rainbow tunnel from moments ago gave way to a scene in a forest. Hundreds of odd looking trees had fallen around him, the forest stretched out further, but all around him were crumbled branches and trees snapped at various points. At the center there were two figures, it was a man wearing some kind of animal skin over his body, and another that seemed like… “Me?” David said aloud, and then shook his head. “No, it can’t be…” He wished that the Earth, the one responsible for these odd dreams, and his powers, would bother explaining things at some point. But his attention snapped back to the fight in front as the animal man brandished some kind of axe, and the other Terra threw an arm to his side; a long beam of light extended outwards, shifting itself into a blade of its own, connected to the other Terra at the hand. Just as David found himself interested, a new scene washed away the one in front of him. The vast forest from before gave way to a barren field of snow, with nothing in sight but distant glaciers and the sun. A bright light suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting downwards in an explosion of energy, blowing at the snow and ice, so much so that it threatened to bury him. He turned and broke out into a sprint, but never stood a chance, the giant wave of snow and ice overshadowed him by miles, quickly crashing down around him. [center]-----[/center] [b]Location:[/b] Lost Haven, Candlelight Trails Suburb [b]Time:[/b] 3:00am A pitch black world embraced him, he started to feel himself panic, his breath quickened, and sweat coated his body. Then his eyes adjusted, his fear and confusion evaporated as he slowly came to his senses; he was back in his bedroom. [i]Just a nightmare huh?[/i] Although the dream had left him, in its place was a persistent nagging feeling, a subtle, anxious feeling, telling him to walk a certain direction; it wanted him to go far away from Lost Haven, somewhere to the North. After taking a moment to gather his breath he moved to leave the bed, taking care to gently move the blanket off, but it was pointless. [sub]“David?”[/sub] A voice beside him asked, it was a little hoarse and tired sounding, and for good reason. Looking towards the clock on the nightstand it was obvious. 3:00 am “Where are you going?” He looked to face Cecily, her hair was a mess and most of it covered her face, she only moved the bare minimum out of the way to talk to him. “Just going to walk around.” David mumbled back, he really wasn’t sure what kind of lie he could or should tell at this hour, and he was too tired to put effort into it. A quick fly to the North Pole and back should be no problem for Terra Firma. Cecilia looked like she was going to stop him, but David waved her off. “Nightmare, I’ll just walk it off.” He whispered, and it seems it was enough. Either that or she was too tired to pursue it too. David thought of other excuses for a few moments, he knew this wouldn’t hold up later, but he had to shelf that for now. He quietly closed the door to the bedroom as he left, and gently peaked into Madison’s room to check on her. Her bed was a mess, the blanket had nearly fallen off, and she had managed to spin herself almost 180 degrees, David took a moment to at least put her blanket back on properly before leaving. [center]-----[/center] Before David left he thought it would be quick, but he had never traveled intercontinental like this, so he felt it was taking a little too long, and then remembered his control over Earth. It moves like an extension of his limbs, from giant fists and whips to, well, bigger fists. It also occurred to him that he wasn’t very creative, but his constructs always moved a different speed compared to him, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. So he hovered closer to the ground, and drew up stone from several dozen feet below the ground on the side of a road. He maneuvered his hands, forming curves and cutting at angles, giving shape to what he thought he wanted. David knew the trip to the North was no stroll, as he had found for himself, so he felt he’d need something thick, maybe even a little aerodynamic, and so he had decided to fashion a sort of ‘homemade’ surfboard. Instead of ‘willing’ himself into the air, he used his power over the Earth to move his ‘board’, carrying his body with it. Together they rose up and down occasionally, he almost fell off several times before he decided to just connect the board to his feet with a sort of crudely made clamp, with this David had managed to master it, or at least feign mastery, and flew off. [center]-----[/center] The frozen wind blew at him furiously as he flew against it, despite the fact that it was cold it didn’t bother him like normal, and he was grateful to that as he got the feeling he’d be here for a while; making a liar out of him once more. He briefly thought of going back to the house to say goodbye, or leave a proper note, but that thought banished itself as quickly as it came. A research boat holding position a few dozen feet away from the nearest icecap waved him down, and he obliged. “I remember you from the news, you’re one of those heroes that stopped the Hounds!” The man shouted as he gestured to a TV on the side of the boat. David nodded in response, and the man continued. “Well I don’t know how you knew about this, it only happened just moments ago, but that giant [i]thing[/i] came out of the sky, and then we were told to back off by the military. Their jets showed up and then this guy came out and completely destroyed them!” David looked to his side, he could definitely see what the man was talking about, like as if someone decided to make Mt. Everest into a factory, and crashed it right into the ice. It was way too big to be human, but there was no way it could be alien, those didn’t exist. [color=red]“I’m going to have a look, you guys should back further off.”[/color] The man nodded and ran back into the boat cabin, and then David rose higher into the air, flying closer to that machine. The remains of the destroyed jets littered the outside of the structure. [i]Am I really qualified for this?[/i].
