(the nightmare)

part 1

Life is not fair, the word that has always been echoing in my ears since my early childhood, from all the adults around me, they were always cheering it on with successive sighs, explaining the meaning of the frustration they are going through, and you, my friend, do you believe in this phrase as well??

Olikadria: A great empire that rules the entire planet (Tukapi), in which dreams are impossible. Welcome to the bitter reality.

An empire teeming with injustice, inclination towards the upper classes, and corruption, crushing what is below that, tears of injustice, pain, and the cries of the innocent, violating their least right and depriving them of it. This is what we will tell you in the story of our hero.

(Zayan) a 25-year-old young man who was known among his group to be very strong, with a strong body and a leadership personality. He is also one of the most beautiful young men of the empire. He works in a small mill that belonged to his deceased father and hides the truth of who he is in front of his mother and the people. He has a small family, which is his mother and his younger brother. His family was Extremely poor because of the severity of the taxes that the emperor used to place on them. His family for him is the most precious thing in this life, as he devoted his life to restoring the rights of his family and the rights of his people and taking revenge on the upper class because, according to him, they were the cause of his humiliations. His life is (the ruler of the Olekadriya Empire), and we will get to know him in the coming stages.

During the return of our hero (Zayan) to his home after a busy day of effort and fatigue at work and his leadership of a secret organization, the governor was overwhelmed by a severe feeling of exhaustion and a strong sense of sleepiness that he became unable to complete the way to the house and his eyes closed by themselves. He looked at a large tree that was in front of him, so he went and lay down. Under it, he fell into a deep sleep. During his sleep, he began to remember the details of his life since childhood, and how his hatred towards the ruler began to creep into his innocent heart little by little. Saying: No, no, I am not bad and I am not weak. I will be able to return everything that was taken from us by that oppressive tyrant.

He arrived at his house, confused by what happened to him at that tree, and he felt that it was not an ordinary tree, but he ignored his feeling.

His mother greeted him with an affectionate voice, and a discussion took place between them

Saying to him: How are you, my son, you look troubled and worried, did something happen to you while you were working in the mill??

He replied with a smile, saying: No, mom, I'm fine, I just feel a little sick.

She replied to him and said: If you have to change your clothes, eat some food, then go to sleep, you have to rest your body, because you exhaust yourself a lot at work.

He answered her and said: You are right mother, I will do what you told me.

After Zayan finished his food, he entered his bedroom, and as soon as he put his body on the bed, he entered into a very deep sleep, and he began to feel that something strange was happening in his body, and that it was not just a dream. Speaking to himself: Oh my God, what is happening to me? Is this a dream or a nightmare? I am afraid when I feel that time has brought me back to the past that I always wished to get over, oh my God. If this was a nightmare, wake me up from it.

At these moments, Zayan was very afraid and terrified of the horror that was happening to him. His eyes seemed to turn left and right, his breath was racing, his lips were trembling, and sweat was pouring from his forehead. Now he is in the depth of the nightmare that he always wanted to disappear from his mind. He is sitting in his old room, which was in their house, which the army demolished for them. By order of the Emperor, he is the same age that he returned now.

While Zayan was trying to understand what was going on with him, he began to hear the sound of two feet approaching the room

Knock, knock, knock Zayan shouted out loud, thinking it was his mother, saying: Mom, is that really you? Come quickly, I'm scared, get me out of here, please.

The door of the room opened, but it was not his mother who had been waiting for him who entered, but rather a tall man with a very white angelic face, dressed as a veteran.

Zayan  was terrified as he looked at the man and asked him several questions saying to him: Who are you? Where is my family? Why am I here and what do you want from me?

The man answered him and said: I am the guardian of Planet Tokabi, and my name is the guardian (Iuzu), and I formed this dream for you in order to communicate with you, sir.

Zayan replied to him and he was amazed: Sir?? Am I your master?

The guard answered him and said: Yes, you are the future ruler of Tokapi, and this is your right from the beginning. I have to go now, and we will continue our conversation next time.

Zayan replied to him and said: Wait, tell me what to do now before you go.

The guard answered him and said: You are your true self guide. You were born to be a ruler. You do not have to wait for the answer from me, you have to find it yourself, sir.

Zayan was at this moment confused with a lot of thoughts in his mind, then suddenly he heard a voice calling him and he woke up from his sleep and saw his mother and brother sitting at his head and they were very afraid for him and were happy that he had woken up.

His mother hugged him tightly while she was crying heartily

Saying: Thank God that he has brought you back to us again

And his brother said to him: Zayan, don't do this again, we were worried about you.

Zayan replied to them and said: What are you talking about? I only slept a little after I got back from work.

They answered him in amazement: What are you saying? Did the fever affect your mind to this extent? It's been four days while you were in bed and you had a high fever, your body was burning, we thought you would leave us forever, but here you are back to us.

Zayan started talking to himself, saying: It seems that the man I saw while I was sleeping was just a hallucination because of my illness, no more

He started to ask his mother a question and said to her: Mom, did you notice that something strange happened to me while I was sleeping?

She replied to him and said: Something strange? Wait, I think for a while... Yes, I saw a symbol shining at your neck whenever your fever increased, but I did not pay attention to it because of my fear for you and my only thought of how to reduce the fever.

He replied to her and said: Mom, I want you to help me get up so I can check something in my head.

She replied to him and said: You have to rest now, because you have not recovered yet.

He replied to her and said: Mom, I have to check on her. Help me get up, please.

Zayan began walking with his emaciated body, leaning on his mother, and they went to the place of the large tree under which he slept in the forest. When he reached it, he began staring at it and looking at all its parts, hoping desperately to find an answer to what happened to him.

His mother said to him: Look here on the stem of the tree is the same as the symbol you saw on your neck when you were fighting with a fever....

What will happen to our hero? Was what he saw a figment of his imagination, or is it a reality that he will live?
