Chapter 83: Dreams of Darkness

Running.

It was all I ever seemed to do, and every time I closed my eyes, the darkness cascaded over me like a blanket.

Welcoming me home.

But it made me feel terrified that I would be lost forever if I stepped into that darkness.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed past my own fears. The calling sound of a woman in the distance made me move further. I wasn’t exactly sure what I would find, but something deep inside me told me to keep going. As that darkness finally cleared, I found myself in a valley of light seemingly to never end, and within the light stood a beautiful woman with long red hair and glowing crystalline eyes.

She looked familiar to me, but then again, she didn’t. Was I back where I met Frigga?

“Who are you?” I asked softly, watching as the woman’s gaze turned to me as she gently tilted her head.

Plump red lips and razor-sharp teeth formed into a wide smile as she stared. “Who am I? I am you. Do you not recognize your own flesh and blood?”

What the hell?
