Elián;
Darkness hums around me, and instantly I know where I am. It's that dream again. Why do I keep having the same dream? And I can't wake up even though I know I'm dreaming.
I stand still in the now familiar darkness, but I feel something has changed. There's something… different.
I look down at my hands, and there it is. That orb… it looks a bit bigger now. The blue flames in it burn brighter, and for some reason it's… heavier.
Much, much heavier. Why has it become so heavy??
I try to lift it the way I always do, but the moment I try, the weight yanks my arms downward. I groan, forcing my body upright as I try to hold it up.
It's so heavy it feels like it would rip my arms off if I don't let it go. If I do… it might break.
I can't let go. I don't want to. It's so pretty, and it feels so important to me. Why is it suddenly so heavy?? It hurts… it hurts to hold up.
I'm going to drop it…
