I opened my eyes and was in the Colosseum again. The wind howled. I had to cover my eyes as insidious particles of sand attacked and pricked my skin, my face, my mouth, everywhere.

The sky rumbled with thunder. Flashes of lightning lit the inky sky. I’d never realized how creepy the Colosseum was in the darkness of night.

My eyes caught on someone in the crowd. Just one. Then another appeared. It seemed to be the same guy. The first figure sat on the sidelines to my left and met the gaze of the one on my far right.

He was either fast, which made me think of a Night Seeker, or he was multiplying.

A third one popped up in front of me.

Then they appeared all over the place. It seemed to be the same person.

What was this?

The wind shredded at my being and a soft drumming vibrated against my feet. Something was coming.

I closed my eyes. Wake up, Blake.

The fear weighed me down to my core. It was heavy. My breathing quickened.

I searched at the crowd again. The crowd of Lucians. They all lifted their arms and pointed in my direction.

What did this mean?

The vibration grew stronger. A humming noise droned in my ear. My skin crawled; I hated feeling so afraid and vulnerable.

The gates opened and as one, a legion of knights in white armor came marching out. They poured straight for me, a sinuous, bristling serpent. They struck their shields and the ground in perfect tempo.

I drowned in their presence. I couldn’t breathe.

I woke up to my own screaming.

My senses were alert. Sweat soaked my body. I breathed hard and fast.

A cold hand touched me. I startled.

“It’s just me,” Irene said and our eyes met.

Mine welled up.

“It’s just a dream, Blake. It’s not real.”

I didn’t know if she saw it, or if she just said those words to calm my soul, but she held me tight as I succumbed.

I didn’t want to be dark. I didn’t want to be claimed. I was stuck in the middle and it seemed life was pulling me inexorably in all directions.
