Prologue: Heart and Soul

I Have dreams, dreams of what could have been, what should have been. I relish in my dark bedroom, staring at the ceiling like it were interesting in someway but only my thoughts appear in front of me.

Why was I made that my heart a man's yet my soul a women's?

I quietly think to myself and eventually I fall asleep. This pattern is quite repetitive yet it still goes on.

Asleep in a world made by me, I take time to be blissful for a moment. For tranquility only comes once during a storm.

In this world I can be myself, live as myself, but its not the same. It is short lived and after my ten seconds of bliss, I wake up.

This happens every time I wake up. Its the same dream and the same pattern.

The only way I can distinguish today different than the others is the raging storm bellowing outside my window.

Rustling leaves, whistling wind and the sound of water droplets hitting the window then ultimately streaming down the window and falling to the ground.

Today had finally broken the endless cycle and I am grateful for this. Although, why had it been broken?

I got out of bed and stared out the window.

The window was frosty and made my sight blurry but what I saw was definitely not blurry.

A black figure?

I used my breath to fog up the glass panes before wiping them down with the inside of my shirt.

It truly was someone standing in the middle of the road. They just kept staring at me but it was stronger than that, they saw through me.

My vision became blurred again.

Who was that?

"Badump, Badump"

Whats that noise? My Heart?

My heart pulsated faster with every second that passed until all I heard was my heartbeat.

But another sound came from within me.

It sounded as if it was a trapped animal trying to break free of its cage. A blinding light flashed before my eyes and then...

Darkness. Everything was void except for the feint light coming from off in the distance.

The light came closer and closer until I was engulfed by light once more.

When I reopened my eyes I was not in my room but lying on the ground in a plateau.

However, the scenery was not the only thing that had changed but also I included. I was now a girl.

Finally, I have been freed from the shackles of dreams and I step into reality. I swear, this life will be different.
