Eternal Discovery

Chapter 12 Driven to insanity

It was early in the morning with everyone asleep at the local inn. Lucile woke up first and sat up yawning "Couldn't sleep?" said Nikistasia

"no. I just have a bad feeling about Today...a really...bad one"

"I had a similar feeling. We about to fight against some of the strongest people we've come across"

"And our captain is none the wiser about the world or its inhabitants"

"I know. We'll have to tell him eventually but... I hope he stays on our side" they looked at Tema to see him stirring in his sleep.

Tema was back in the familiar room in his dream "I'm back here again" They both looked to see him talking "just through this corridor and then to the big door" . Lucile and Nikistatia sat next to him just listening to him in his sleep

"what do you think he's dreaming about?" asked Lucile

"I don't know let's just listen".

" Now through the gap and here in the dungeon. Ariana...are you there? I made it to the final 8 I can help save you. hello?...Ariana? She must be sleeping"

"where is he?" inquired Nikistasia

"he sounds like he's in a jail cell. This person Ariana, she might be the person he's being referring too."

"I wonder if she is the one he's looking for?"

Tema continued his dream "right now I just have to squeeze through these bars and clap twice. Ariana are you...Ariana, what's wrong what's happened to you!?" he stirred a lot in his sleep with the two looking quite worried. Lucile began shaking him

"wake up, wake up" . They both tried shaking him but they suddenly they found themselves in a dank lit up room.

They could Tema in front of them with a giant girl completely covered in scratches and cuts just slumped forward with only her chains stopping her falling forwards. Tema didn't seem to be aware of the two girls as he ran to her legs "come on wake up"  She weakly moved opening her eyes

"big...brother, your...here"

"yes I'm here. I made it to the final 8"

"that's...good"

"What happened to you? Who did this to you?"

"Daekavich..."

"Someone called Daekavich did this? Look you're not well how can I find you?"

"The...mark"

"mark?"

" two threes...in...four..." and she slumped back forwards.

"no come on wake up, wake up....WAKE UP" .

 He found himself sat up covered in sweat and panting which also woke up Sakura ,with Nikistasia and Lucile next to him looking quite shocked "Tema what happened?" asked Sakura

"He was dreaming" said Lucile

"We could see his dream somehow" said Nikistasia "He met up with someone who was in a lot of pain" 

"Would you mind explaining Captain?" demanded Sakura

"For the a while I have had a dream where I go through a corridor and meet up with this girl called Ariana. She's very young and has been there for a long time."

"so this Ariana is the one who led you here"

"Yes Sakura. Look come on we'd better make our way to the coliseum" he quickly got up and left the room with the girls not that far behind. Sakura was still having her doubts and went to Lucile
