The last thing I can remember is how a bright light began to invade the room where we were. Despite the pain that took me in, I tried to get up, but beyond that I can't remember what had happened. Maybe I passed out again, but why am I thinking and aware if I am not awake? It seems that I am alone it is a dark room with no exit How did I get here? My limbs feel light, am I really dreaming? I can't understand it, while I think and I begin to feel a slight anxiety, some flashes of light begin to appear, they are of different colors and illuminate the place where I am. Little by little these lights began to stop being broadcast which allowed me to see better only to find a crowd of people in front of me. All the people I could see seemed familiar to me. All of them were inhabitants of Ophelia. I learned that after observing some of those present in the high school uniform. They all showed a face full of pure anger and from the crowd a small voice began to echo until it became a scream.
“Assassin.” It's the sound I heard in that chorus of angry voices, my chest started to hurt in a way that I couldn't explain.
“No” my voice began to tremble “I… “I don't know why even though I was sure that this was a dream I felt a terrible need to give some excuse before everything; although I couldn't quite understand it myself.
"Everything that happened was your fault." I heard another group of people appear repeating this same phrase over and over.
The people who posed in front of me were so real and so, I could see even those people who had severe burns, others without limbs and even some with the entrails outside their bodies. As I looked at all these people around me the voices became even more insistent. Repeating over and over those words that I wanted to stop hearing. I began to press hard on my ears telling myself over and over that this was not real, but in reality something in me knew that all this was a reality, that everything had happened, but that it was not my fault; yet I couldn't say it, I couldn't speak. I just wanted everything to go away now.
Suddenly an eerie silence filled the place, but soon this silence was filled with screams of pure terror. I turned my gaze just to see what was happening. Now all the people around me were exploding one by one making blood and guts splatter everywhere. What the hell is happening? Why am I seeing all of this? It was during those thoughts and amidst all the chaos that I was able to observe a figure in the crowd. A dark figure was approaching me and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see their face, yet their very presence caused me a fear that I couldn't explain. I couldn't move, I couldn't even think straight and process everything that was happening right now. This was no longer a simple dream. I blinked and just as I reopened my eyes the being was now right in front of me.
"All-of-this-is-your-fault." I managed to hear what seemed like a set of voices coming from him. Hearing it, my body weakened in an inexplicable way and I could only feel terror, a terror that I had never experienced in my life.
This being began to laugh with a laughter that seemed full of pure evil, plus that strange set of voices, the space where I was now seemed the scene of a nightmare. I started screaming "I didn't do any of this" "I had nothing to do with it" these began to resonate in the room along with my sobs that were getting louder and louder due to the despair I felt while witnessing all this.
I felt that years passed until I finally stopped hearing that fearsome laugh, everything suddenly stopped. My mind began to relax as I no longer heard anything. This was definitely not a dream, it was something else, and something I couldn’t explain. I closed my eyes to try to clear my mind and find some peace of mind, but when I opened them again I was now surrounded by trees. For a moment I felt lost, but then I recognized this specific scene very well, I was in the forest that surrounded Ophelia.
I got up from where I was and started walking, I approached one of the trees, I could feel the grass under my feet, I could hear the rustle of the trees, I could feel the texture of the tree bark, I could hear the sound of the animals. I was so impressed to find myself suddenly in this place, it is as if my soul has left my body; for a moment I doubted that I was really asleep, maybe it was my real body that was here, but it still didn't feel like my body. While I was immersed in my thoughts I felt that someone was looking at me between the trees. It didn't feel like it was an animal, it felt a strange presence like evil. I couldn't explain this feeling very well.
I turned in all directions trying to find the origin of this gaze, but I couldn't see anyone. I could only listen to the animals that were in the forest as always oblivious to human problems. Suddenly in the distance I could see how a human figure ran out of the trees I could hear that as it ran it was laughing, but that laugh was not at all like the one I had heard before. Without thinking too much I ran towards its direction, I tried to go as fast as possible, but it seemed that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it and it even seemed that the whole place was getting longer than it really was.
Suddenly I felt like I was falling into this kind of place where I could no longer trust anything I saw was real or not. Everything around me began to fill with noise, both image and sound, despite the loud noise a voice managed to stand out. That voice began to speak to me.
“Wake up!” I could hear the voice in a blurry tone so far away. “You have to wake up.” I heard him again, this time he was closer and clearer.
“Who you are?” I said wanting to turn around to try to find the origin of this voice, but I just kept having the feeling of continuing to fall on this stage full of noise.
"If you don't wake up, great misfortunes will begin to occur." I heard the voice again, even closer but this time it sounded more like a whisper. I even think I felt the air of breath behind the whisper on one of my shoulders.
“Wake up?” I said confused, as if it wasn't the only thing I've been trying to do since this started that I don't know whether to call a nightmare.
Suddenly the image and sound noise around me began to spiral at a point in the distance. I felt that little by little I stopped falling into this space. Suddenly in the distance the figure of a tornado full of colors could be seen in a space full of darkness and it seemed that at some point this darkness would swallow that tornado, but everything remained silent and still.
“That’s right.” The voice was now completely clear.
“Why?” I replied. I felt the presence of the voice, but I could not see anything in this place.
“You have to wake up” After those words of the tornado's whirlpool, a new figure began to emerge, first a wing appeared then another, after that little by little the whirlpool like a mirror was breaking into pieces until I could see the figure who possessed those wings. That figure was me. What the hell? It was the only thing I could think of.
"Everything is about to start." Right at that moment everything was beginning to fade and suddenly I was able to open my eyes, only to find the noise of a chaotic hospital. I looked around, nobody was there and suddenly everything had taken a very dark color. I thought no one was in this room, but I was wrong, it's just that I couldn't see well at the time.
"Awake at last, Your Majesty." Said a person I did not know in a mocking tone who was right in front of me. His figure was imposing, but something inside me felt that I knew him, or something, I could no longer understand anything that was happening at this point.
