The eyes stared down at me. Compared to them, I was smaller than an ant and compared to me, they were larger than the widest planet. Before, I hadn’t realised what the ‘monster’ was but now, I could see it clearly - it was a dragon. I had never seen anything like it before in my life or dreams. It felt magical.

The next things that happened were all a blur - I opened my eyes and saw the mess in the kitchen, I felt my heart rate quicken as I felt long, thin, string like things wrap around my arms to lift me up and I felt a strange force - like another life - being breathed into me and filling up my soul. Then suddenly, I was back in the vision but able to control my actions, as if I was physically there, not just in my mind. As I walked forwards, I realised that I was.

“Mum!” She was moving and awake, I was relieved but I couldn’t move. I could not move. At all. I looked back and saw why. I was in the clutches of the dragon’s long whiskers. How did it pull me from reality to this vision dimension? As if it had heard my thought, it replied,

“I have this ability because I am the multiverse, I am everything and I am real. I have waited millenia for a human to take over my role as I grow weaker. You are that human. You are the one. This is your destiny and now I shall pass on this power.”

In response I shouted,

“But why? Why take mum away?”

“I needed to lure you here.” 

It replied.
