Many thoughts are in the mind processing in a million ways. What to do with all this burning through my heart.

By the way I am Arjun and this is my story. Not a lot of excitement but what I am going to tell just listen it carefully because either of us or you have the answer or knows the answer. In this moment of my life at 12 a.m. I was hastened to something which didn’t let me sleep. I am 14 and I am of a confidential nature person but only to one guy I am not, that is ‘Sid’.

I rarely dream of something that is so magical and handful. But right now we both have a mutual sort of dream getting the same events in it. I was a bit confused about the whole thing but not sure that I was ready for something or someone to face. But we started to search about the whole thing or place of the event.

“It was a place where I woke up in my dream was an ancient cave full of magic potions and many more. And there was my buddy Sid preparing something for some sort of warfare. But then I asked my stake and told to be careful and went to be careful and went to the battlefield with my teammates. But what I saw there was so horrible, that if there was an army of mutant human with weird abilities and appearances. I was a bit tensed but then I found about my ability... But far away I saw someone wearing a black hooded cape standing in the cliff, sending the monsters. When I made a huge fireball and threw towards him he bounce it back to me and I dodged it and fell down. But on the other side the fireball went towards the cave and it chased my buddy Sid and he too fell down.”

What I felt was a failure and nothing more.

Every time I try to avoid myself from it but still becomes a part of me. I spoke about the place ‘BRYNWOOD’. But when I get to search about it I was shocked that it was a realm where all the mythical creatures existed and so on. I said to myself, ‘What did I saw just now about BRYNWOOD! Was it not a dream ……Was it a reality of an event in the past .I need to figure it out and then I and Sid started to learn ancient letters so that we can encrypt anything related to the dream.

BRYNWOOD: The Forgotten Realms. What to say about that place, a mystery or a hard reality to believe.

This is how it started, the story, my story and I don’t know how it is going to turn me into this awful reality. But I need to be ready for whatever is coming towards us and may be it is going to change everything in my life. Suddenly the door bell rung ‘ding dong’ and I ran towards them to see who was there at the corridor and guess who was there ‘Soothsayer Uncle’ who came after a long period of five years from Australia as he was on a management program of archeology. He was working on an archeology about a forest where it was believed that supernatural creatures really existed. So, there may be a way to the mystical world full of adventure. When I heard this I was too curious because I always dreamt of knowing more and more about the mythical creatures of the past.

But back in the dream what I saw was we were all supposed to be some kind of wizards who trained to save the world from impending threats while mastering our own abilities and unraveling conspiracy behind events. But I lost everything in this war…My life, my dignity and my brethren.

I don't know but for now we started to live a normal life, pursuing education and then moving to somewhere for higher studies but the dream that I saw will always at our back chasing us somehow.

I was always being thinking of training with masters of combat tactics and save a life. So I decided to join the armed forces so that I could atleast save a life because the existence of the supernatural is itself a myth and I don't think that it could ever be real but still what is bad in believing or keeping a little faith in it.

Sid and I did a lot of crazy things together. There was not a thing that we didn't do in going against the rules, from bunking classes to mistakenly burning forest near our hideout.

On one fine day Sid and I was going to the hideout doing a secret plan in there. We were just about to come out return but then an authority was waiting in a bridge near our hideout and there was a chance that he could see us while crossing. But Sid didn't see him and come out without any notice and crossed but my heart was still beating but I atlast didn't care and crossed the path. But after crossing when I looked at him stopping by I got to know that he didn't noticed us as because he was using his cell phone in the bridge. Getting to know this my heart settled down and thanked God that we got lucky this time.

So then we return to our dormitories and get going doing our stuff and searching for a new conquest to do.

But I didn't tell him about the nightmare but I need to tell him tomorrow in the morning so that we could work this out together as I cannot search it alone but 2ith his help maybe something interesting would result in out of it. I started to write down everything I could recollect from the dream because dreams can be forgotten and if I forget, it will be difficult for us to find clue about something or anything.

The journey started when Sid and I met in a boarding school and grew together. At the beginning we did not know each other but after sharing a together a few insane experiences we came closer to each other and became the best buddies. The days that we spent together in the boarding school was full of exciting adventure and I still remember running to the gates every day after the classes started. We were used to find sites in the forest to mark them as our secret base and to enjoy the bonfire and lots and lots of stuff. These were the only moment of joy for us…together.

We did run away making our own hideout inside the jungle and searching clues of our many conquests that we planned in our leisure time. But to say seriously we had all our time in leisure as and when we think of different things to make or sometimes we used to do spirit calling making our roommates runaway from us. There was one time when we were actually being teased to do such things because they were actually afraid to wander near us because of the stuffs we used to do. They thought that we actually did the real witchcraft stuff but we use to laugh later on talking about those to each other how we make people fear from our stuffs.

There was one guy who came to try our not so witchcraft stuff but then when we actually started spilling out the real things about his uncle, he just ran away and always teased us. But deep down he was afraid of things to happen.

There was not any day when we weren't late for school but I wouldn't leave Sid behind because there was craze between us that if we get punished we will get it together or just sneak out together.

But on an exceptional night an ordeal fell on us like a thunder clap. But the strange thing was that somehow both our dreams followed each other. To be honest I didn’t mention anything at first but when he told me about the surroundings and events of his dream I was silent the whole time when he explained his dream to me. Then I suddenly changed the topic and asked him to explain the dream of zombies to me .He started to explain about the whole scenario and how our roommates were killed by zombies in his dream and how we saw some zombie monkeys chasing us. But when I saw my wrist, there was a red mark and it hurt like hell. It was same spot of my body where I was injured in my dream when I fell from the cliff after my brethren died in it. Now I was wondering of a way to get rid of an injury like that in the first place. As it was just a red mark but after a few moments it disappeared. This made me think if this was some kind of forewarning. So, then I suddenly jumped off my bed and just started to utter some word that I don’t know from where it stroked my head. So, I wrote it down in a piece of paper and seeing those letters I was a bit confused.

I wasn't sure what was it, but it was really a good thing that I wrote it down while I remembered it, otherwise I would have had to force my mind to remember it somewhat someday.

The letters were strange but I don't know how it just felt so familiar and that 8s why I needed to find out how I know it and what 8s the meaning of these. I was sure that there is a large thing or story behind writing these in ancient letters so that someone else don't understand what was being written and only the person who remembers it and feels connected would know it and know about it. It felt like a purest of all thing and I need to find it.

Thinking of the time of the nowhere I just ran out to do my stuffs. Eventually I wondered of telling it to Sid but I knew him that how he get tensed and worried about the situation in brotherhood and friendships. So, I moved on going to school and searched for something in the library that could help me out in moving towards the reality to the link of the timeline of my dream. Hiding to the supervisor I tore off some of the pages from encyclopedias and books of ancient history that caught me out in helping to work upon it. But nothing worked out and as a result it was just a free pages cost of nothing more than a stealth like quality in me that worked out in the mission to succeed. But I was not going to stop trying de trop of all the matters in my mind. I know I was being a moron to the likewise act of mine but sooner or later something could come out as a result to the ordeal dream of mine.

So, then someone called out my name that I was seen tearing off the pages of the books in the library. It was the rude one who complained about me whose name was Liu but I did not worried because he was right and the tearing off the pages did not came of my use anyway but just the destruction of the school’s property. For few days I was punished for being in a default on school’s property and was restricted from visiting library for one whole month. But when Sid came near me he asked me why I did such things without anyone’s permission of taking the books. So, then at the moment I thought that I cannot do this task alone all by myself so I thought to tell him. I said .......

Speaking of the truth buried beneath my heart, it’s not so easy to impale it from within. But I will try my best to take it out.

I spoke surprisingly….

“Remember the dream you were speaking about to me, I summoned a part of the same dream. I woke up in an ancient cavern, where some people were preparing for some kind of warfare. But I couldn’t get anything in there what was going on there because they were using a very weird language which don’t seemed to be of any languages in the world. But one who I felt a bit close he described himself as ‘Aarsvargh’. I just assumed some words that he was describing his name. But I was surprised to see such a huge armory for the first time in life with lots of weapons.”

But the thing was that what was all this for and I never assumed anything about that before due to which the imagination will take the shape of the dream. I was sure about something that there was something weird about this because many of them could have seen it but particularly me and Sid. This was an annoying thing that we can’t hold it for too long or it will ruin our well going life. But then Sid babble out that this was not the first time for him because he use to have that nightmare every year on those particular days and so it is not a coincidence for him and he was pretty sure that this time it’s not at all fake having the mutual dream. He kept saying that every time he sees it he gets afraid and sweats the whole night on the day. But then he asked me about the link between the dream and the punishment that I got? I divulge showing the letters I wrote waking up that day after the nightmare. It was some of the letters that I saw in the nightmare on the books and walls of the cavern I woke up in.

It felt like tht we were in a great war with great evil against us as we were using our best armoured weapons and tactics.

Sid got a step backward saying that these were the type of letters that was written in the book he was holding in the dream. He said that it was like a curse for him these years holding the dream within him but now he was relieved that he got a partner in this fight because now he knew that it was a curse for something to be disclosed or a boon to someone.

We should get the words encrypted together as a team because if we double the effort we get something going through it. We started ruining the pages and books of library first but this time in a little bit of stealth so that we don’t get caught together because if we got caught together none of us will be able to search. On the other side Liu was in an approach of getting caught willing for an unknown revenge because we never did anything to him. But he was looking suspicious and smiling in a cruel manner. God knows why?

I hoped that he wasn't a puny thing but we should not take it lightly because who knows when or how he could back on us on what moment. I was really being thinking about him, as his behaviour was a bit weird and I didn't know how to think it off from the normal plane of the time.

Seeing his smile we got an awkward feeling about something tingling us within. But something was strange about him because Liu was behaving very weird these days and we have no idea what is wrong with him. But we didn’t care about him because he was never so close to us or anyone. He loved to walk in the late night streets with so dark, but the great thing is that he never fell on any potholes or any of the dug roads. Might be he had eyes of a raven or an owl. Everyone makes mockery of him every day because of his strange nature of living but we have seen him in a more suspicious manner doing strange things like smiling weirdly without any reason like a moron, insanely tempered with little talks, breaking plates of his own money. But we were not afraid of anything because we are a team to fight against if someday he wants to take an unknown revenge of something we have no idea of. Few people says that he have ‘Split Personality Disorder’ due to which he has a weird kind of behaviour and some says ‘He is possessed by some spirit’. It was strange to hear the talks of people talking rubbish because we know he gets weird when we are near or around him. But we don’t have any link with him except the curse of the nightmare that we are taking within us. But to clarify few doubts about him we went to talk to Liu’s mother Mrs. Nora.

It wasn't the best idea but it was for the greater good to know the root cause of his weird behaviour and how he use to deal things in the matters.

Because we didn't know his actual house so we went off the record and sneak passed to the Principal's office to check the verified address of the mother and the son.

We went at night when all the lights were off we sneak passed the dormitories and ran under the light of the fireflies. As a matter of fact I had Sid who could unlock the doors and we could get pass through it. We searched the room and got the address and it was in a very remote location from where it was very tough to come and go on a daily basis to school.
