The next time I came to

What the hell just happened?

Those were the first thoughts to trickle inside my mind as I came to my senses

But before I could even form a proper sentence in my mind, I saw the same face of the child climbing up to the bed with great difficulty

As he climbed up and sat on the bed, he seemed in a happy mood and we exchanged the usual 'hello' greeting.

He had short curly hair with streaks of light green colouring it and was quite cute with the biggest grin you would have ever seen

"Hello to seem to be doing well, child"

And that was the beginning of my nightmare

have you ever seen a five old child wearing clothing two sizes too big for trading around carrying a large tray trading about like a man child waiter

whilst he continually kept calling you child

"Child, don't stress yourself"

"Child, from now You should be more sensible from now on"

"child, Did you know I was so worried about you,"

"child, you need to calm down and relax,"

"child, let's take a break"

"child, go rest"

"child, eat something!"

"child, have some water,"

"child, come play a game with me"

"Child, you should................

"Child....................

" Child.................

"child..............

in the beginning,

it was bloody hilarious I was barely able to control my laughter

but after a few days of the same routine, it got on my last nerve

after I had woken up the first thing, I had seen was the chubby face of the child with big brown eyes with race black hair much like mine and his ridiculous attire that was as oversized as they can get

the clothes looked comically big l on him he looked like the little boy in a doll who doesn't grow

but as I continued watching him, as his voice raised louder and the more animated he became

I couldn't help but laugh along when I heard him say,

"Why can't you act like a grown adult human being instead of an infant?"

it was fine for a while because the second thing I noticed was that I could see colours again

so I had presumed this was a dream as there was no lake, no orchid flower soul root, no laughing buddha

so I was expecting to wake up at some point

day after day passed in bliss at first but after a few days it was perpetual hell

every day would start the same

I would wake up to find that cute chubby face inches away from me

big brown eyes staring right at me

then the child would flick my head and being my food it was breakfast from my old world toast cornflakes milk sugar omelettes

then he would start lecturing me on how I was a child and a child should behave like that and not like that

which leads here

to this current situation,

he has been standing across from me for what felt like hours

I thought for sure he was done lecturing me for a good while now

my patience was quickly running thin and I wanted this day to be over already

"Well, you should listen to me more you know?"

at that point,t It felt like he would stop but no he still, continued

After I watched him for hours upon hours

I finally snapped and yelled at him,

"What do YOU want?!"

at the time he was talking on and on about how he had to take care of a spoilt child like me Nd no one was rewarding

if had been just the talking I would have let it go

but the bastard was knitting while lecturing me

So the five-year-old child looked down at me from his 3 foot 6 inches tall nose

whilst he invited an exquisite sweater or whatever it was he was making

fuck you

He immediately fell silent but did not stop his knitting

"Well... you know what? I really just wanted you to stop acting like a child, that's all." He replied sounding immensely hurt

like I was the one who had done something wrong

fuck that

at that point,

the rage came to me like a tidal wave

how dare he lecture me and accuse me of being spoiled

of being childish

of being selfish

of being stupid

of being irresponsible

he did know me he had no idea what I had been through the suffering

the pain

the torture

the darkness

the despair

and just like that, my mind cleared

And soon I realised that what was happening to me was not normal

I wasn't asking questions as the same person would

before it was as if my mind was foggy like I was experiencing this dream from behind a screen

the pain that I had long forgotten came sweeping back as if my body was sucking it in

as my mind cleared I realised I could feel the white skill sheets on the bed that was not normal in A dream

so, this told me this wasn't a dream

at that point, I started getting the shivers

I could feel my legs shaking under me

I put my hands over my head like it would block out the harsh light

but it did no good

I also realised I was in a gigantic room on a gigantic bed and there was no other furniture except my bed and everything else was white as far my vision could see

A torrent of questions flooded my mind

where am I???

is it safe??

is anyone else here??

who is that child??

why does he familiar??

can I leave????

I slowly began moving off the mattress

I slowly stood up

but

As soon as I stood up I felt a hand grab my shoulder

I spun around only to see a familiar set of brown eyes

the child showed a tremendous amount of strength as he pushed me back the bed

"Stupid child broke out of my illusion, now split child stop struggling you need to rest and relax"

he said as he crossed arms across his chest as he looked at me with glaring eyes that promised violence and sat on my chest

I was unable to move

but I still shook my head and once again tried to get up even with the tremendous weight on my chest in the form of a small child

"You will mind me boy"

suddenly the child said in a whisper that was louder than any scream I had ever heard his words were filled with power that compiled me lie down

The words themselves did not have awe that the voice of the child had

It was filled with anger pain authority

It was one of those "YOU SHALL NOT QUESTION ME MORTAL" God's voice

But

Rage filled my mind as my will to be defiant became more powerful

I tried to get up from the bed

but once again, before I knew it, the child had a firm grip on my waist that pulled me back onto the mattress

I screamed out loud in anger as I struggled

while trying to escape his hold on me

but to no avail

"Don't be such a child, child"

But this time I did not quite instead I slammed my head right into the child's nose that had the misfortune of being within a few centimetres of the side of my face

It was as if I had banged my head into a stone wall

My head began to spin

But the child looked unfazed as he stared at me with anger

"Stupid, spoilt child," he said in anger

Even though that had confirmed that this wasn't an ordinary child

I still thrashed and struggled against him to get up

Finally, after a few minutes, the child shouted

"Enough"

He let go of my wrist and moved off my chest

"Okay, okay is I will make you a deal I will answer your question if you promise to relax okay"

that got my attention as I quieted down and looked at the child

as if asking him to go on

he nodded and then started speaking

"My name is silver and this my space," he told me and then nodded at me as if that was enough to explain everything

"that explains jackshit"

"what is Jak sheet?" the child asked confusion apparent on his big brown eyes

" jack shit means....." what does it mean I thought I was at a loss how to explain my words to the curious child

"well," the boy said as he stood up curiously on the bed with his hands crossed across his chest

I opened my mouth fully intend on explaining but found no words to begin

the child lost his patience as suddenly reached and poked my head

"oh now I understand," he said as if he had understood something

" You understand what exactly?" I asked choosing to air out my query

he just smiled as if he didn't expect me to understand and as if it was obvious

"you will not answer my question so it is useless to ask you anymore, so I just decide to poke in your mind"

The child just grinned as if to tell me that it was useless to ask and he wouldn't answer any question

but I wasn't done this statement had raised more questions than given me answers

"Please elaborate, if great elder"

the child perked with pride

" Finally child learn manners I tell you you stick with me you will go very far"

the child began nodding along as if to agree with himself

"great elder..." I said as I took a deep breath

" can you please enlighten this ignorant junior "

the child stopped nodding and gave me a bemused look

and then suddenly poked my head once again

" oh okay so now listen well tricky child"

" my name is silver I was created in the forges of the celestial master Sobroe nearly twenty thousand years ago"

before I could raise any other questions

the child raised his hands and stopped me

"Now, I know most of the things I am saying will have little meaning to you and it will raise more questions the answers but you have to bear with me"

after that, he paused for some time as if waiting for my response I just nodded

"I am what you call a weapon spirit and this is my inner dimension space," he said as he spread his hands pointing all around him

" you are here because I pulled your conscious out of your dying body and into my space"

my heart sank at the 'your dying body' comment

how could he say that like that he was just doing me a favour or something

According to this statement, my body was dead and my mind was pulled into this space or whatever here was

but before I could scream at him with gusto the child continued on

"you don't have to worry your body is healing itself with a little bit of help from my own reserve of energy,

so you don't have to worry once your body is completely healed I will tell you everything you want to know and It will also mark the beginning of your life child of Warth"

that statement made me realise why I had felt a sense of familiarity from the child

The Dream

the goddess had called me Child of wrath and this child was there too

but once again before I could ask questions

Silver just stopped me

"Now rest, your consciousness needs to rest if you want to reenter your body"

that shut me up and as the child got off my bed and began trending away

my mind

cleared immediately and all I could think about was what he had said

I was aware I was lying on the bed with the covers wrapped tightly around me

I lifted my head and saw myself wearing a large black and blue robe that reached to my feet and had intricate golden designs of flowers and vines embroidered along with it

it was warm and comfortable as I ran my hands over it

then, as I turned and saw something I could barely believe what I was seeing

the walls of the room began melting and moulding into pictures

in seconds the walls were covered with paintings of children

children playing and chasing each other, children eating sweets together

and they were all smiling happily and laughing

I looked around and noticed there were children everywhere

I looked back to where Silver was standing

but he was nowhere to be seen

The room felt so cold, so silent and lifeless, that I almost couldn't bear it

I felt like crying but I didn't cry. Instead, I started breathing normally as the tears that threatened to fall finally did fall

I looked around for Silver once again, I needed to find him somehow

but my mind began to spin uncontrollably as every time I looked towards that part of the walls which I assumed would be Silver

my vision beg and too blurry and darken

and soon

all I could see was darkness and nothingness
