Eventually Lucian drifted off into a deep sleep, but unfortunately he found himself in a strange nightmare. It wasn't like any he'd ever had before. It was dark all around him, and he could hear a loud noise like glass shattering mixed with thunder. He covered his ears but he was still shaking so bad he fell to his knees. The noise persisted to beat against his eardrums. Go away he cried out. Me a voice questioned mockingly. Lucian gazed up to see a glowing gold figure with a crown of shadows upon his head. You look pathetic little boy the king laughed, did you really think you could make a difference. Shut up Lucian barked with a twinge of desperation he didn't mean to slip out. That confident facade isn't going to help you now the king sneered, I'm going to tear you down to a shell of a man. Lucian couldn't help but whimper as the golden king reached down as if to grab his face. His hand never made contact though, because in that moment Lucian was jolted awake by screaming.
