Blue Fire: The beginning of a true warrior

Eps 12: Nightmare #1

At 19:45....

Still not felt by Ace, something awkward there. He keeps his concentration to reach his subconscious.

The fragrance of flowers that greatly washed the atmosphere, adding to his spirit, for the next few days. However, the dry feeling in the throat, every second instead of disappearing, even though he swallowed saliva. Disturbed by the stabbing pain in his neck.

3 Hours passed, Ace went into his subconscious.

Everything looks white and empty. Only he stood there, alone, with an echoing voice. Just stand up, but don't feel tired. His body was stiff, unable to move. Only the neck and the fists can look.

Empty, there's no one and nothing there. The pain in his throat and the smell of flowers, he could still feel.

From a distance, someone walks up to him. Faceless, with a long white robe that covered his entire body except for the head.

Walking, it got closer to Ace who could only turn his head. Asks Ace, "Are you perfect ?". Sontak Ace is confused. Actually, what did that guy mean.

Soon, the white, empty world turned into a place with a bench in the middle. Dark as night, with the moon right on the bench.

Then, the white-robed person walked towards the bench and instantly disappeared. Ace looked around, looking for the guy.

Can't move. Just look at the old wooden bench. Suddenly, emerging from his left side, a child wearing a blindfold, walked towards the bench. Ace looked closely, inwardly realizing that the boy was himself.

The boy sat on the bench, shaking his legs. Sitting, like waiting for someone. Then from the opposite side, came a man approaching the boy. The man was very similar to Ace's father. Ace tried to call him, but could not be heard at all.

The man sat beside the boy, stroked his head, and kissed his forehead. Ace kept calling, but there was no response at all. It's like watching a television set. I can only see everything the actors do.

With teary eyes, Ace was moved to see their closeness and affection. Shortly thereafter, the man left the boy alone.

"Uhhh..... father.....Where are you going????... fatherh!!!. .." said Ace.

The man moved further away until he vanished into the darkness.

"Dad.... don't go!!!. don't leave me alone." said Ace in a sad tone.

Then, Ace turned his head back to the child he thought was him. Sitting on a bench, alone in the middle of a dark night. Suddenly, a black fog appeared, circling the bench. Ace was just scared, worried that something bad might happen to the boy.

Seen, the boy, restless in fear. Ace tried to calm the boy down, calling him, but it was the same. Suddenly, it appeared from the front, a black shadow of a little boy, with a sharp, red gaze of his eyes. The shadow laughed with greatness, seeming evil and creepy.

The shadow approached the boy.

"Aces...Ace.... stay away from there !!! run Ace!!!, save yourself." Ace shouted at the boy.

In the sense of the shadow of the little boy earlier, as well as the others, unable to hear Ace's words, in fact, the shadow looked at Ace who was just standing stiff, smiling wickedly.

"Aaaaa (surprised)..... Ace!!!.. run!!!.... save yourself Ace.....!!!!." cried Ace with worry.

The little boy, just hugging his bent legs on the bench, while bowing his gaze in fear.

Slowly the shadow touched the child, as soon as it was sucked into the black shadow's palm.

Before long, there was a small, piercing laughter from his right ear, slowly growing larger. The laughter reminded him of the stern look he had seen as a child.

Ace only fell silent, with fear already enveloping him. Only speechless with glaring eyes, whether to stare at what. He turned his head to the left and right, and his sweat fell.

A dry feeling in the throat, endless pain. Stomach pain, stomach pain, accompanying it at that time.

And now he realized how complicated it was that he was dealing with. Plus that he will continue to face this all in the next 5 days.

At 02:00 in the morning.

Ace is back to keeping his concentration. He tried to calm his heart in various ways.

The smell of snapdragon flowers is still felt even though it is already in the subconscious.

Standing there, he saw the dark world instantly turn white and empty like the first moment. Nothing else happened. He also looked around, looking for the white-robed man he thought would come back.

"Hello.....!!!! is there anyone ????.... Hey...... Who are you?????.." said Ace loudly.

He stopped trying, moving his body which, could not move at all. Whatever the power, he decided to keep his concentration, because he realized that what he did was futile.

He also realized that what he saw, would not bring danger to him. However, what he saw, as if it felt that the moment was his real position, fear, and so forth. He felt that there was a bond between him and what he saw there.

At 06:00, the old man came out of the resting place, walking towards the murgs gate.

Seen by him, Ace was meditating quietly, with a sitting position that had been lifted into the air, right in the middle between the roof of the gazebo with the floor.

While thinking, what nightmares did Ace experience in his subconscious. Increasingly added to his worry, when he saw Ace's clothes were wet with sweat.

"Hmmmm. Hold all that." said the old man in a soft tone.

".......*Will he survive ??..... What if ...ahhh .... that's it..."

"........How he will control himself, while the dry feeling in the throat is very disturbing. Should I help her ???..... No. It's not the right thing..."

"........What if the "black circle" opens ????...."

"........Should I stop it ???.... Uhh... Not*...."

The man then looked towards the snapdragon garden. Still no sign of bad things happening. He looked up, and saw the flower petals that had come off yesterday, still being swayed by the wind there.

The man was afraid, if the flower petals, to touch Ace's body. Surely Ace will regain consciousness, because of the spark that was created. It still occurred to him, whether the "black circle" would open.

Black circle, a dark circle that would appear just below the meditating warrior. Usually it will open if the warrior is carried away by the atmosphere of nightmares that occur in his subconscious.

If there is a warrior whose concentration has been lost, then his eyes will open, and fall from his meditation. Fall into the black circle that will swallow the warrior's soul.

When the black circle has done its job, then all the snapdragon flowers will wilt and die. The petals of the flower turn into the shape of a human skull, and spread the smell of carrion around it. Every warrior soul is swallowed, it will add to the robustness of the gazebo (murgs).
