Chapter 12:Nightmare

As he slept,Viltz had a very strange dream,he saw jumbled scenes of giant bats flying in the dark night,ifrits swimming in a sea of flames,djins flying through a seemingly endless sky,beautiful nymphs swimming in a lake,grotesque monsters fighting each other,ghostly knights kidnapping people,battlefields filled with corpses and all sorts of strange scenes.

After countless scenes flashed before his eyes,he suddenly felt dizzy as the different scenes began to converge on a single point,forming a vivid image of the severed head of a giant unicorn with its horn split in half and its eyes removed from their sockets.

The unicorn looked at Viltz with its empty sockets dripping blood.

With just a glance, Viltz felt his mind was about to snap.

Before he could do anything to try to regain clarity, he saw the unicorn suddenly charge towards him, aiming its broken horn at him, intending to impale him.

As he tried to dodge, he noticed that his feet were not moving. When he looked down,he found himself submerged up to his knees in a stinking crimson liquid that began to make him dizzy from the smell alone. Turning his head with difficulty, he found that everything in his sight was crimson,the ground was made up of an apparent mas of blood that stretched on endlessly and the sky was painted a similar crimson color.

When he turned his head again, he found the head of the giant unicorn just a few steps away from him, in a few seconds he would be impaled by its horn.

Feeling his body so heavy that he could not even move his hands properly, Viltz could only curse to himself, sinking deeper and deeper into despair.

Raising his middle finger with all his remaining energy, he showed it to the unknown entity in front of him that was a second away from killing him.

"Fuck you,son of a bitch."

Finished cursing,Viltz felt as if he had been thrown into a blender as he abruptly got out of bed,gasping like a bellows as his head throbbed as if it would explode at any moment.

Grabbing a basin of water,he sat cross-legged on the floor and used a meditation technique he learned a few months ago.

After meditating for about ten minutes, his agitated mind calmed down, making him relax.

Getting up from the floor, he lay down on the bed and began to reflect on the nightmare he had just had.

"A simple nightmare?I don't think so, it seemed too realistic and my mind was clear, I could feel everything around me very clearly."

After a few moments of deep reflection,he got up and took out his journal,drawing the being that attacked him in the dream.

Without missing any detail, he drew the horn broken in half, the empty and bloody eye sockets, the lower part of the cut neck from which blood kept falling, the sky and the red clouds and the sea of blood that stretched infinitely.

When he finished drawing, he began to write on another page of the diary.

"Judging from the scenes prior to the appearance of the unicorn head,I can speculate that this nightmare occurred because of my left eye,the worlds I saw while sleeping apparently are possibly the vampire world,the elemental planes of fire,wind and water,an unknown monster world,an unknown world inhabited by humans where wild hunting plunders people,another unknown world where a battle occurred and the rest is confusing."

Putting his journal aside,Viltz lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes,taking a deep breath,he channeled the mana from his body and directed it to his left eye,instantly after,it seemed as if his mind had been transported to another plane of experience when a sea of stars appeared around him

Trying to look down to see his body,he found nothing,trying to raise his hand,he couldn't feel anything either,it seemed he could only observe his surroundings and not interact with it.

After looking around for a while, Viltz felt confused, not knowing how to proceed.

After a couple of minutes of contemplation,he suddenly felt something like a signal,trying to sense the source of the signal,suddenly his surroundings became distorted in a way that reminded him of the spaceship acceleration scenes in the movies of his old world.

After a couple of seconds,the sea of stars around him dissipated and what came into his view was a battlefield littered with corpses.

Looking closer,much of the ground and most of the corpses were charred.

After observing for a while,Viltz's sight fell upon a wooden shield lying at the edge of the battlefield. The shield was mostly intact,with only a few sword cut marks on its surface,but what caught Viltz's attention was the emblem drawn in the center of the shield,a three-headed red dragon.

The emblem looked very familiar to Viltz, he could recognize it at a glance as it was none other than the emblem of House Targaryen from the famous TV series "Game of Thrones".

Just as Viltz began to fantasize about watching Game of Thrones again in full HD 3D version with a fully immersive experience but without sound, a shadow loomed over his head out of nowhere, when he looked up, he found a colossal dragon about to land on the exact spot where he was standing.

The dragon opened its mouth and let out what he assumed was a roar,although nothing could be heard,as its ability allowed it to see things but not hear them.

Reflexively turning away,Viltz watched as the dragon's giant paw slammed into his former position,kicking up dust and dirt,but without producing any noise,which disappointed Viltz a bit as the absence of sound detracted from the epicness of the scene.

"Ugh,how frustrating,it's like when I was little and could only watch movies with the sound off so mom wouldn't notice I was awake."

Letting out a sigh, Viltz smiled,remembering his past before his smile turned sad.

"I remember mom always scolding me when I would come into the living room at night only to find me watching movies that were too adult for a kid my age,I remember always showing up when the bloodiest scenes came on."

"I miss you mom,I always do.

If only it was that bastard who died instead of you..."

As Viltz recalled his past, he watched as a man dressed in black and red along with a woman wearing similar attire climbed down from the dragon's back.

The two had similar features,fair skin,purple eyes and silver hair,the hallmark of House Targaryen.

The pair,ignoring the eavesdropper just a couple of feet away from them,grabbed each other and began kissing and taking off their clothes.

The dragon, indifferent to his actions, shook his ass, folded his wings and lay down in his place, taking a nap.

"Don't tell me they're going to do it right here,in the middle of all these corpses,how can they even get excited in a place like this?shouldn't they be puking from the smell of burning,blood and putrefaction?

...Holy shit they are doing it over a corpse!

These people don't even respect the dead, poor guy, first they kill him and now they're using him as a carpet to do their thing.

As Viltz tried to reorganize his thoughts,the woman bent down and brought the man's member to her mouth and,with a smile,closed her eyes tightly and swallowed it whole.

As the couple continued their act, Viltz decided to look away for his mental well-being and instead turned his attention to the huge creature sleeping languidly on the scorched floor.

Looking at its long slender body,its long neck,its deep red scales and the pair of horns protruding from the sides of its forehead,the name of this dragon immediately came to his mind.

"So you are Caraxes,the blood wyrm."

Inspecting the magnificent creature closely, he noticed the pair of small wings attached to its hind legs.

"There's a reason you're my favorite dragon of all the ones in the books and series of ice and fire,Balerion is basically a giant Drogon but darker,Drogon is...well,too common,he's a copy of his brothers but with better colors.

Vhagar, despite being described as the second largest dragon after Balerion, his appearance simply does not please me, he looks like a dragon of komodo with wings, especially that jowl he wears under his jaw makes him look like a wrinkled old man.

On the other hand,you have such an elegant serpentine body,combined with your four wings and your blood colored scales,you are simply a beauty."

As Viltz let out his fanatical side,he suddenly felt an intense dizziness as his vision blurred,when he opened his eyes again,he found himself back in his room.

"Ugh,I feel exhausted,how long was I in the vision? Five minutes? That's as long as I can last with my current mana or is it because I was exhausted from the nightmare?

Rubbing his temples, he decided to sleep and relax his mind, deciding he would look into it later.
