Dreams

As my eyes closed and my mind drifted off visions assaulted me. Flickers and snapshots until a scene started playing.

A small cruise ship bobbing on the waves. My vision drew closer to it and I saw Luke older and with a large scar on his face, kneeling in front of a golden sarcophagus. Various patterns decorated it but one thing stood out to me the large scythe embossed on the lid. Staring at it caused my soul to shiver.

Tearing my eyes away I scanned the room. A crimson haired beauty stood behind Luke as well as me. I stood older and more weathered. The sign of my Roman scissors all gone. My hand instead wielding a large celestial bronze hammer. My other arm still wielded a modified katar but the engraving of the board head had disappeared. Two beings flanked me. Tall and pale bones could be seen through their skin. Wielding large pole arms and dressed in casual camo I saw the stillness of their chests and pack of movement.

Looking further I noticed the numerous monsters inhabiting the room. Cyclops, dracaenae, drakons, telekhines and more. Interwoven with the monsters stood stone faced demigods Apl wielding weapons and kneeling with the monsters facing towards the sarcophagus.

The scene swirled and changed me again at the centre of a room surrounded by huge thrones. Large beings inhabited them, glowering towards me. Chains bound my wrists, ankles and neck as they forced me in a kneeling position. From my bystander viewpoint I saw one of the beings with no disgust in his eyes when he looked at me. Casually shifting he picked up a large metal sword and lobbed it at my kneeling form.

I saw Thalia's pine tree wilt, a volcano erupt and much more before a scene solidified. A museum with a large stone. Before it stood a man wielding a wooden stick. Pressing the stick on the stone glowing lines trailed behind it. I saw two children hiding around a corner as the stone exploded.

A large red face burst towards me snarling and I woke with a start covered with sweat.

I moved away from my bunk and left the cabin. Light was just peaking above the horizon bathing me with a warm glow. I moved towards the training area.

Once there I picked up spears and threw them at the dummy. Between the eyes, through the ribs or through a knee. My uncomfortable feeling did not fade. I moved to a large boxing bag and let losenflurry after flurry of punches the chains screaming with protest. I stalked from the area as I walked into Chiron.

"It seems you have been dreaming Lucifer." He said. "You should come with me. I have been told to show you something." He trotted towards the big house with Lucifer jogging after.
