[RPG] [FEI] Azohib and Osaliel - Another Dream - Pierre Reynald

[Stefano De Monte]

 Another Dream.
----------------------

It was exactly the same as the previous one, He was walking threw the city
of Osaliel, threw a specific neighbourhood called "The old City".
But this time there was no one on the streets.
It was midnight and no man showed him self, expect a few people, who where
running to there homes from there work in fear.

the road seemed like some kind of round stair.
It went all the way down in a soft curve, forming something like a spiral.

When he was all the way down, he could see the eastern horizon.
Here on this 'empty' spot, full of ruins, you could see the best sight ever.
It was early in the morning and the clouds on the horizon where already lit
by the sun.
Pierre observed the ruins around him.
Until he stood in front of two pillars, one of the only stones left with
clear inscriptions he thought.
Clearly he coal see some kind of bird, carrying the sun disk up towards the
upper part of the pillar, where a small pyramid shaped cone was placed.

When Pierre looked down the ground underneath his feet, he saw stones, all
in different shapes and with different kind of inscriptions on it, they went
from the pillars in a minimal curve towards another ruin.
The ruin looked like an altar, but then very low to the ground, and also
very small.

When he sat down on the altar stone, he could see the first rays of the sun
come over the horizon.
He held his breath.
The sun rose exactly from behind the pillar, making a shadow, a twilight
decent upon him.
He could only see the rays of the sun coming from both sides of the pillars
but he couldn't see the sun him self.
Then when the sun rose higher, the shadow went shorter, and on the moment it
rose above the pillar, the edge of the shadow marked the first stone, from
Pierres perspective seen.

When he examined the other pillar on the right side of the one he saw first
he could see a similar stone path leading to a crushed stone table, an
altar.
On the other side of the first pillar, on the left he could see the remains
of a third pillar, and a similar stone path.

"What does this all mean"
Pierre thought.

Just as he want to sit back on his stone and think, he heard the sounds of
Soliferum Horns.
These horns where familiar in Pierres ears, they where used in the
succession war, and now there still being used.
They where used for rallying the troops, it meant, prepare for an attack.

In some what panic, he ran back up to the road.
But the road wouldn't stop, and the horns didn't sound closer nor further
away.
It was as if he didn't made any progress at all walking the curved road.

He started running, sweat dripping from his fore head.
When will this end? he thought.
IT felt all so real, was this a dream or not?
If yes, then when would i wake up?!

Without doubting one more time, he took the first alley on his right, going
the opposite direction as the curve.
He ran and ran down the what seemed endless alley of darkness and vileness
until he came back on the curved road again.
Totally confused he started to scream and close his eyes.

When he opened them, his healer was looking down on him.
"Everything alright sir?"

Pierre Scared the hell out of him and jumped right out of bed, keeping his
eyes on his healer.
He didn't respond.

"You must have had an awful dream sir, you where sweating all night long,
and your screams have been heard by almost every noble and peasant in
Azohib"

Pierre took a calm and deep breath, like he learned in the Temple, to calm
his mind.

*"Yes Guido, I had a dream, thank you for your concern, now pleas leave me
alone, I am tired as a dog..."*

"But sir, I have an important message for you, from Excalibur, Where
preforming the Assault."

Pierre frowned.

*"The assault? What assault?"*

"The assault of Osaliel sir! You where talking about it a few weeks ago, I
thought you knew..."

Pierre quickly walked to the other side of the room.

*"Great news Guido, Get me dressed as Soon as possible, and made sure my boy
makes my armour shine like never before."*

"On my way sir..."
