Imagination BK2: The Imagineres

Chapter 11: Day Dreaming

The gash in its leg healed up, and the lava pooring from its back disappeared. It stood up, fully healed, even the thumb was back. I smiled, then stood in my ready position, one sword held above my head and the other held below, ready to destroy. We both charged at each other, I cast and earth spell on my swords. The monster dropped his staff and swung, two handed, at me. I swung back with both swords. 

The three swords clashed together, and the monster's one was rebounded from mine. I held the swords back for a power stroke, then jumped towards the monster's heart, a huge leap. Suddenly a huge roar echoed through the village. I lost consentration on my day dream, and everything flickered, then disappeared. 

I landed back on the ground, frowning. I looked back to see what had caused the roar, and there was a gigantic dragon, hovering just a few metres in above me. I froze. The dragon slowly made its way towards the earth and landed with a huge bang, knocking me off my feet. 

I quickly rolled backwards and back to my feet, my swords ready to strike. Instead of a dragon standing there, it was a man. He had brown hair and a bulky build. He was average size, and had a curved sword at his waist.

"Shape Shifter?" I guessed.

The man smiled, "Well at least you recognize who I am. Well done with your imaginering by the way."

I lowered my swords, "Aaah, thanks."

He walked over to me, "The only problem was you lost consentration when I roared, why did you do that?"

"Well, I was focused on something else," I explained, "and you distracted me."

"You shouldn't have been distracted," replied The Shape Shifter, "You should have known I was coming."

"But I was..." I was about to argue.

"Nope, that's no excuse," said the Shape Shifter, holding up his hand, "You were supposed to be imagining in a third person point of view, knowing everything that was happening, watching the battle from afar, and knowing when and where everything was happening."

I opened my mouth, then closed it again, not bothering to argue, I wouldn't win.

"So," said the Shape Shifter with a grin, "Now that that's over we can start on the fun stuff."

"Fun stuff?" I repeated, confused.

"It's time to start learning to imaginere properly," replied the Shape Shifter.

"Is there a proper way to imaginere?" I aslked.

The Shape Shifter laughed, "Of course there is. An example? You may not realise but I know exactly what is happening to you dragon at the moment, and that idiot war guy you brought with you. I know what is happening to your family, and what is happening between a some bully and a kid that has being picked on, somewhere in Russia. In fact, I just created a wind that blew the bully over."

I looked at him strangely, "Your joking."

The Shape Shifter smiled again, "No, I'm not. The fact is, I spend all my time day dreaming, and see everything that is happening. One half of me is in this body and the other half is watching the world. That is why I can do anything I want in an instant."

The Shape Shifter spread his hands above his head, creating a galaxy of stars and planets around us. The cavern changed into what looked like space, yet we were standing on solid ground.

'Wow!' said Reflamen, 'What just happened?'

'The Shape Shifter,' I quickly explained.

'Oh,' replied Reflamen, 'That makes sense then.'

"I can shoot stars," continued the Shape Shifter, thrusting out his hand, creating a barrage of small stars to go shooting through space.

"I can create worlds," said the Shape Shifter, twurling around.

The suroundings changed again and we were in a jungle, standing next to what looked like a tiger with scales. It yelped in surprise and ran into the forest.

"and I can put everything back to normal," said the Shape Shifter.

The ground suddenly became grass again and the sky became sunny. I was honestly amazed, I had never heard of someone able to do this sought of thing.

"How about Shape Shifting?" I said as an after thought, "Do you imaginere for that as well?'

The Shape Shifter smiled, "No, that is part of me. I can become whatever I want, whenever I want. Just like how you can use your spells and summon that bow and the swords, and the way Zeus can control storms and manipulate the winds, that is all part of us, we made it part of us."

The Shape Shifter started to walk. I quickly followed.

"The thing is, with Imagination you can do whatever you want, as long as you believe it will come true, and you have the thought for it," said the Shape Shifter, "You here of how when people think to themselves over and over again, that they will do something, and they beleive it. If they do truely believe it, it will come to pass. That is an example of imaginering, yet not many people realise it and persue it, like I did. You have the natural abilitly to imagine, which is very rare. Most people are tought, or killed before they gat the chance."

"Killed?" I said, surprised.

"Yes. Zeus is the only other person to start Imaginering without anyone's help," said The Shape Shifter, "And if he senses someone getting to close to it, he kills them."

'The lighting bolt,' was the first thought that came to my mind.

"Yes, the lightning bolt," replied The Shape Shifter, "That was when he tried to kill you. Luckily, instead of killing you it sparked your imagination, and now he wouldn't be able to kill you with thought's even if he tried."

I smiled at that.

"Okay," said the Shape Shifter, "That's the end of our lesson today."

"What, but you said that we were going to do some fun stuff," I said, surprised that it was over.

"That was fun," said the Shape Shifter with a smile, "Same time tomorrow."

With that he shape-shifted into a bird and flew into the air.

"But..." I said, again cut off from what I was about to say. 

I sighed, 'Well, that was interesting.'
