I then heard a big sound outside, we both did, one that made us shiver. It frightened420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhLsZyhZv
me deeply and as much as I wished it to be just the one scare, it was not to be.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ86CtgFMo
“It has begun.” He confessed rather calmly as if he was already expecting it.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwxDdjus7
Many more terrible sounds soon followed, screams and other noises of terror just420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VTXWVdTc8
outside that room, and as my eyes began rummaging in a most panicky manner, he420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LLgiBRhkw
placed his hands on my cheeks and stared right at me: “It’s alright.” He reassured me420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLWBc2hodQ
“This is intended, you understand? It is according to the plan.” He was staring at me420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KEXelDrMF
with deep concern, but there was no lie in his words.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERa6UIVrH
“What is happening?” I reluctantly asked, “What is this place?” I felt like I was420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp5b0pfF1Y
finally able to understand myself for the most part, or at least most of my spoken420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu8Y1ZrhYq
words were now sounding just like my thoughts before I voiced them. “Please?”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Njzv7Jh3
I insisted ...420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymQ5LMqh2k
“We don’t have much time for this,” Those hoarse words pushed through between420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReM9WeYVf3
nervous breaths, and it seemed I could now understand them without too much420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4IEDm4Ir
impediment “but you have just been awakened ... or born, if you will.”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAyJcDVPSL
“I don’t understand,” I begged for more as he turned his back to me to begin those420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU4gifj5so
rushed preparations, and when I was about to insist, he spoke to me some more.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgpKVGjGa0
“You were born into this world - born, the word born, you already know the420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cgbbY8Qbn
meaning?”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhtl5g3EYh
“Yes ...”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f2EPHZgu3
“Yes, of course, you do.” He responded with a smile before continuing, “Either way,420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnCLlquCwf
you were born into it or perhaps brought here from another; not even I know for sure420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWc0rvQAPF
which one applies more correctly. Not even after so many... Anyway, I know you are to420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DWsYe3eJn
be charged with bearing most of this world’s responsibility.”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxDxwfeByU
“Charged?” I asked.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihPb0yTW3r
“Yes charged, and by none other than yourself. But first, we need to get you out of420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJNBT0LXl
here. We must deliver you somewhere safe.” He stopped to look straight at me “I know420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gitmE3gBc
you have so many questions, but it is imperative that you save them for later.”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc0seiwb3V
“You must put your trust in me, you understand? You must trust me and be patient.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAeFTSZUVi
Time itself will tell you all that you might want to know right now and then some. Just420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuD4CNjnHD
wait.” He turned again to resume those rushed preparations; “I take it that it will not420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKM56EfEf0
be long before I am the one turning to you for some answers. For now, just be patient420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZQTB7M8Ts
and do what I ask of you.”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ERWqlhwpT
“What am I? How can I have learned this much already, and so fast?” I stopped for420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i2qFFyrf3
a moment, and then looked him in the eye: “And how can I know that is not normal?”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTwXYBbbYQ
“Not a what, but a who.” He replied while turning away from me but still, likely420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12B4tisdX1
against his wishes, I felt that those words were brought forth in a somewhat vague and420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fujjxkxWU
unassertive manner.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTmM7Veyv
“Who then...” I could not help but be distracted by all that was raging on just outside420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mPRVZfDr
that room; the several noises rampaging all around, those constant screams escorted420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgIfQWX0a
now by other gruesome sounds of violence. I tightly shut my eyes for a moment, in420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VYCsrjxZw
the hopes that somehow it would all go away, and then looked at him again. I found420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJ6YQT6SA
comfort in that even if he himself seemed desperate to finish gathering all sorts of420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGe4iEaR6P
things from those silvered tables, he too seemed afraid. “Who then?” I was so hoping420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnxUjrDrRt
he would cave, if just for a moment, but no such luck.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZuu5eTevK
So, I just sat there, completely free from any physical bonds but with my feelings420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmncOpdo8l
still tying me to that bed. I remained still, watching him pack those last things with420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZawvVOZBg
great haste: all sorts of papers and the tools to inscribe on them, some food, and a few420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB57cIfB5J
other utensils too that I could not yet recognize.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkknkJZT5Q
I felt so inclined to ask him again, but before I managed to assemble the required420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjNwkHmQq
words, I got hit in the head, something fierce!420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7n3P8k2ff
A presentiment, a quick vision of a clap of thunder cutting through heavy rain and,420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5adXLwcMIk
amidst it all, some sort of airship struggling through it. Could that have been just a420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj3NbPn4VN
random trick of my imagination or the thunderclap of catastrophe? What was that?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCTRGwFH4I
It felt so...420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqeWkr4BMP
A premonition perhaps, or a distorted perception of my unknown present?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHSDHezdAT
Surprised I looked at him only for my doubts to be met with a wry grin.
