Dreams at the end.

“We will burn your current persona away, and the priestess will emerge.”

“We will burn your current persona away, and the priestess will emerge.”

The phrase Elijah Cruise said to me echoed over and over through my head. I waited in my cell in complete darkness, until Cruise and his lackeys would escort me to the ritual of fire. I was starting to give up hope, I would have to be the priestess of the Hall of Shadows after all.

I was exhausted. I fell asleep, and dreamed. My dreams had always been a source of terror for me. I knew now that it had been deliberate. I had latent psychic powers that had been passed down to me by the former priestesses of this cult. This is what had caused me to grow up in fear.

This time, I dreamed and I saw Grenci. He was walking with another boy, and they were in deep conversation. They were in the archaic library, and as they left, I saw them encounter a man who wore the cloaks of the members of this cult. The other boy tackled the man and Grenci and he marched the man away.

The images faded, and I saw Derf. He was out in the city looking showing people a my ID picture and looked like he was asking them a question. Most of them shook their heads, and Derf looked crestfallen with each apparent failure. But he kept going.

I then saw Derf talking to Grenci outside our dorm. This quickly faded and Grenci and the other boy were in a dark room with the hooded man. I saw them look at each other triumphantly and leave.

Then I woke up, and Elijah Cruise was staring down at me in disgust.
“It is time, ‘priestess’” He said, mockingly. I got up and he walked me out of the cell. This could be the end…

but my dreams give me hope.
