The Mysterious Rebirth
Dr Leonardo Dante came back from work feeling uneasy. He was taken upstairs to rest, he falls asleep and woke up in the 400th century. He was in the body of a teenager by the name of Edmund. He also lost his memory due to the effect of the transmigration. Edmund-an 17 years old man, 6’2 in height, fairly built. He is a farmer, a profession which his whole family is known for. His great grandfather is the head of this large family. He has four close friends (Ayan, Drax, Skurt and Akima). After over a month of socialization with his friends and family, he begins to have an insight into the place. Atkins his kingdom was under forced rule by the Giza dynasty. The dynasty had taken control of them a few decades back when they got to know of their fertile land blessed with gold. Gold was a major form of exchange in the southern part of EUROPE and was extremely important. Giza also replaced their king with a *head of state ( Governor) * and captured their Chief general. He finds out that he was poisoned by his very close friend Akima and begins to investigate the reason for this. He goes to the tavern that evening where a fight ensues between some gamblers. Verola, the chief general of Atkins daughter has a habit of visiting the tavern. She alongside her friend and bodyguard Miller beat up the thugs and Edmund is amazed to see her skills. He develops the desire to become someone better and goes to Atkins medical school to become a physician. He looses his father during an attack which leaves him depressed. He pulls out of the school and is back to “ground Zero”. He learns that the killers are from the rebel nation and this leaves him on a mission to avenge his father. He joins the chief general group and begins to develop deep feelings for Verola. On one of the outings he gets captured and is about to face the same fate as his father. Would Edmund survive this?
THE DREAM
* * * *
A man is seen in a surgical room, and the person on the bed appears to be in a deep sleep. It seemed like surgery was being performed. There were some doctors in the room assisting him.
The people in the room were discussing while doing it but it was impossible to hear. Their voices were heard all at the same time. It made it look like an incantation. The atmosphere all of a sudden felt cold and the activities began to occur in reverse. It was as if all of a sudden they were going to the past.
The man who was performing the surgery had now appeared in a local environment. It was a little familiar though. It looked like Edmund's. He looked at his hands and noticed that his body had begun to be decreasing in age. The man in his 50s had all of a sudden become as young as a 40 years old man. He returned his attention to the environment. He saw a group of guys particularly five in number.
One of them had been stabbed by the other who was now on his heels. Surprisingly the other boys didn't seem affected, they just stood still like tall trees.
Dr. Dante walked up to them and asked what had happened but there was no response. He turned his attention to the injured man and offered to treat his would but it was too late Edmund was dead.
Surprisingly he was quite affected by the young man's death. He wasn't going to let such a handsome young individual die like that. He looked around and spotted a familiar herb, so he ran and plucked some of it. He squeezed it and applied its juice to the man's injury. He then tore a piece of his white clothing and used it to cover Edmund's injury.
After waiting for some minutes, he checked the body and didn't get a pulse. He then laid his head on the dead body realizing that the man had been long gone. He turned to the other men and was about to rant at them for their indifferent attitude but they were also gone. They had vanished into thin air.
Dr. Dante then returned his gaze to Edmund. He was frightened by the eyes of the man. Edmund had woken up from the dead with his eyes having a different appearance. His pupils were white and had circular rings in them. The more Dr. Dante looked at them, the more they became larger and he was now totally engrossed in them. He stared at them till all he could see was darkness.
"Argh!" Edmund woke up from this nightmare. He was quite frightened by the dream he had just had. It didn't make sense to him and had no meaning. He looked outside through his opened window. It was sunrise already. He got up from his bed and put on some clothes. He was about to head out when someone walked in.
It was Ayan.
"What are you doing here by this time?"
"Hope you have washed your mouth?" He asked, he waited moved away from him not wishing to perceive anything offensive.
"Haha. Very funny."
"I washed my mouth already" Ayan moved closer and breathed some air into Edmund's mouth.
"What did u do that for!" Edmund used one to cover his nose while the other pushed him away.
Ayan sat on Edmund's bed and began to look around the room. The atmosphere was filled with silence.
"What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?" He asked Ayan who seemed lost.
"Why'd u ask?"
"Just curious." He replied.
"Well, I hadn't told you this one but when I was a kid. I'd have dreams about some animals talking. Sometimes it would go as far as me seeing myself in that dream." Ayan wasn't even done when Edmund burst into laughter.
"If you were going to laugh at my dream then maybe you shouldn't have asked." Ayan turned and was about to leave but Edmund held him back.
"Okay, your dream's great." He faked a smile which eventually turned into another round of laughter.
"Seriously! Tch…." Ayan looked at Edmund and not long later he also began laughing.
"Well…. I had a similar dream just that mine's weirder" Ayan raised his head and turned his attention to Edmund who now had a serious expression on his face.
"Just that.. Mine isn't funny like yours."
These words took out every bit of laughter from Ayan's face. He also now had a serious look on his face.
"In my dream, I had died and resurrected." Ayan was shocked on hearing this. Only one man had ever resurrected and it had happened a few centuries ago. He didn't know the man though but he had heard stories of him. People called him JEŚUS DÉ NAZARET.
Edmund narrated all that had happened in his dream and as he went on Ayan could only get more aghast.
"Don't worry yourself about it too much. It was just a bad dream." Ayan got up from the bed and looked at his friend.
"Get up. Let's go." Edmund got up and they both left the room. Midway to his exit he turned and saw something. It was a white cloth. He blinked his eyes multiple times and didn't see it again.
'It was his hallucination'
"Comon! let's go." Edmund returned his gaze and left the room.
