Green mist swirls around me. Hard rock beneath me. A flash of green close to me. I groan and push myself to my hands and knees. A wave of dizziness washes over me and I pause, trying to gather my strength. I can taste the coppery tang of blood in my mouth, but what from, I've no clue.
I can't make anything out in the green, hazy mist. It's too thick to see through.
But there's a light… something is shining at the top of a flight of stairs. I'm blinded for a second but I can make out a figure… a person.
My legs move on their own accord… I begin walking towards the figure.
Green mist swirls around me and all I can do is keep moving, my eyes glued on the flight of stairs.
I don't know how long I've been walking for… but it doesn't seem too long. The stairs stretch out before me. I've got no choice but to climb them.
I hear a squeal behind me, followed by more. Spinning, I can make out five bodies rushing towards me. Bodies with eight legs and seven eyes.
I scramble, tripping on a stone step. But I manage to heave myself up and continue up the stairs, getting away from the giant spiders.
My throat closes up…
Spiders. Anything but spiders.
I run, not daring to look back. The figure is shining a brilliant yellow and I keep my eyes on it. Its hand is outstretched, reaching for me.
The steps are steep and my boots slip on the rock, unable to gain purchase. I try not to think about falling to my death.
I stretch my hand, trying to reach for the shining figure.
I can hear the spiders behind me, hear my heart thumping against my ribcage, ready to explode.
A green light swirls from my hand and my eyes widen. But before I can figure out what it is, my finger touch the figure's.
A flash of white light blinds me and I'm thrown through the air.
I don't know where I am. In bed? In the library? Probably in the kitchen.
Darkness swirls across my vision, through my mind. I can hear footsteps and look up to find myself lying on the ground, around me a destroyed building.
My eyes are heavy, my brain scattered. I can't form a single thought.
A few soldiers surround me, but my vision darkens and I fall into a sleep.
