@infernaeles : ‘ fear ‘ sender finds receiver having a nightmare .
reality fades and a nightmarish dreamscape takes its place. clouds surround him, dark and ominous in nature, as the sky rumbles. nothing feels familiar and when he calls out for his brother or for his mother, an echo is all that answers. it is a struggle to continue forward. feet dragging against the cloud he stands on, as if he is stuck in mud. hands wrap around right leg and pulls. he strains, grunting and pulling until thunder rumbles once more and lightning cracks right before him. when the flash dims, a figure takes its place. their wings are bright white and seemingly span for miles. he can’t see a face as rain has started to pour, but he can see the flash of a blade, one meant to kill him. this is michael. it has to be. his father come to carry through with his death threats at last.
feet begin to struggle again. pull, pull, dammit pull! the being before him speaks, voice hurting his ears, ‘ you should have never existed! ‘ sword is raised and begins to come down, cutting through the rain. hands immediately rise as a shield and he lets out a guttural scream. “ no! no, please! “ body shoots up immediately in the makeshift bed he occupies, sheets ruffled, and wings ejecting out between shoulder blades. they’re onyx in color contrasting greatly from the silvery color of the wings belonging to the figure in his dreams.
his brother enters the room right then, narrowly missing the tip of his wings that strike out in order to protect. “ shit. you gotta stop running in here like that. you want me to knock you out on your ass again? “ jaw tightens, but anger does not meet emerald hues. those are still wide and silently begging for comfort. “ i’m it’s fine. just a bad dream. he who shall not be named came and visited me again. brought out a bad ass sword and everything this time. i actually woke up before the climax, but i’m pretty sure he was going to just go woosh, “ arm dramatically reenacts the swinging of a sword, “ and cut me right down the middle. “
