The chaos of yet another world encompassed entirely in her own mind swirled throughout the deepest and darkest corners of Nadia’s conscious as she struggled to determine what was real and what was not. The sky was a dark, crimson red and the barren landscape, full of worn, lifeless mountains and sand was riddled with pools of blood that were of the same color. War had taken over this desperate landscape and all that was left was despair and a broken, hopeless world with nothing left, not even the will to grow plants. Everything was dying, from the few people that had survived the absolute chaos of the Great War that riddled the land, to the land itself. Nadia heard the screams and the moans of the dying and near dead, and the constant whisper of those she was supposed to have saved hovered in the front of her mind.
“Nadia… Where were you? You were supposed to save us. You could have saved us. You were supposed to be our savior. You are nothing now, our world is fading. It’s your fault, Nadia. Yours.”
The voices of lives lost and broken spirits swirled inside of Nadia’s mind as she struggled to continue forward in the barren wasteland that once was the beautiful town of Faruj. What was once a town bubbling with life and rich from trade and commerce was now nothing more than a desert riddled with disease and death. It was her duty to try and find survivors, if there were any left. She wandered for miles, and was greeted with the continual smell of rotten flesh and the sight of nothing but mangled corpses; she was too late to save the people that needed her the most.
She knelt down and as her tattered veil covered her eyes, she began to sob as she realized that this was her fault. Mayhem broke out in her mind and she couldn’t control her emotions. The world of her dreams was in her control and she let all the people down by letting the world collapse from the inside out. This was never supposed to happen, but she couldn’t keep the peace. Nobody trusted someone who held her talent. Once the people of Faruj found out that she had full control of her dreams, they all began to question her authority, her powers. To them, they were all her pawns and they decided to revolt, and become the worst kind of revolution that Nadia had ever seen. One filled with bloodlust, anger, and hate.
The dull, aching sound of the alarm clock brought Nadia back to the real world, along with a severe migraine.
