Prologue

(Dream, to Daniel, is what denies him the truth.

The 8-year-old Daniel had a dream. But it was not just any other dream—it was a real terrifying nightmare that will change his life forever.

The distant future of the very beginning of his fate has begun to move forward as it was destined to be.)

[The Dream]

On the Thursday of 1st September 21XX, at 12 pm, a mysterious manifestation overwhelmed the sky into a total blackout.

All life forms had various reactions, some handled the situation well and others are not able to relax as the worst thoughts came into their mind.

Fortunately, power sources are still available to not further their difficulties. On the first day, every single being stopped working as the authorities pronounce the decree for all to return to their homes.

It would be a worthy celebration if the sky is no longer dark. No one understood why they were given freedom, as 'he' was the only one that knew that no one would be spared from the disaster..

Every religion was praying for their God to give mercy, hoping for the best. As the Christian would pray for the God the Holy Trinity to seek forgiveness.

Some wasted the time for pleasure; others just continued their daily routine as it was the only way to cope with life.

On the second day, the weather was horrible and the ground would once shake every hour. Every single person tried to be brave but behind their façade, everyone was as pale as paper for fear of the unknown.

Some broke down and cried bitterly as they remembered their good, bad and nostalgic times. Others were happy as their end were near; it was as if they could feel the foreboding affair nearing the line.

On the third day, everything was peaceful and perfectly serene. It was the calm before the storms.

The 4th of September was a Sunday was the Fourth day. At 12 in the afternoon, the sky changed once more. Different from the expected color of the heavens it became redder than blood.

The grounds shook and continued to rumble until the roaring sound, that was echoing around the world, were heard by all living beings. Then a smoke appeared in every city, the sound of wailing from each perceived house resonated.

One person stood on top of the tallest building, watching the world fall into ruins. He observed the display of horrible destruction listlessly.

He continued to watch the scene with an emotionless expression, as other people's family, relatives, elderly people, friends, children, and lovers were devoured by the monsters.

He, the only person who could save them, was frozen on the spot, unable to move. Tears of blood trailed down his countenance as the thoughts in his mind were trying to slowly leave his mouth [Please let me move! Please let me save at least one... Please... Please...]

He internally begged and plead to save them but he was bound with a curse, he cannot move on his own bidding... He trembled with pain each time a person died within his sight. It was a pain that overwhelmed him with grief, sinking him down.

He wished if he could die right now, but this pain will continue until the right time comes.

-----

A month has already passed by, and he was still standing on top of the tallest building—the only structure that remained intact after the catastrophe. He was numb to pain from the moment his family died. He was hopeless to do anything.

Then he heard a voice, a voice that he longed to hear for saying "I'm sorry, XXXX and I...."

He knew who that person is. That person didn't make any sound from being eaten by the monsters because he knew that had he done it, someone he dearly loves will surely be broken beyond repair.

A few minutes came and he can already move, yet it's too late, no one was spared except himself and with his face down, he walked a few steps. His knees weakened from his previous predicament took him to stumble down.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. Shouting in anguish and grief, he could barely yell. "WHY ME!! Why... Why... Why?!!!" then he started laughing like a madman. The sky began to shift again, and as the dark clouds gathered, it started raining blood as the rain's color is redder than blood instead of transparent. It made the scene beyond gloomy and depressed.

Then he tried to stand up and walk to the edge without looking back. He took the step with a happy expression because he thought he can finally be free but something unexpected happened. He was teleported into nowhere.

He was standing at a place near his house that takes a couple of hours by walking. Then time stopped, he can't move and his expression was apathetic as he was back at the tallest building from a moment ago. Internally, He was all but cursing and angry for the unfairness.

Alone standing among the bloody road filled with body parts and organs lying around, everything was part of his nightmare; but he could not close his eyes, watching everything that tortured him. His tears were blood and his hair turned white as grief became unbearable.

He can last a century without eating as he's different from anyone, he was filled with magic throughout the body yet this is a curse to him as he wishes that... He can be gone quickly, he still heard their screaming for help but he can't do anything. The pain, it's unbearable for anyone as well as himself but he has to endure it until the moment comes.

Since then, a century passes by and he was there with an eternity of grief that no one can understand. The nightmare that circles around him mind as he can remember them clearly as how they died horrible

Out of the blue, time started to move, and then out of the thin space, something or someone appeared in the road. It was a young boy with closed eyes sitting on the ground that was untainted by body parts, organs, corpses, and something but it's still near him.

[Daniel POV]

"Why is it dark? I can't see anything at all..." within my vision, what I see is total darkness...

"Mommy, Daddy... Where are you?" I'm afraid although I don't know why as my body shivers unconsciously...

"What is this awful smell?! This smell really is disgusting, I smell spoiled meat, strange iron scents, foul-smelling stool, urine and many more that I can't recognise."

I bring my right hand towards my nose although I know it will not bring any help and my other left hand touch something. It made my hand sticky with something, I quickly thrown it away and then my right hand touches the eyes then I realised my eyes is close.. I feel a bit dumb for not noticed it sooner.

I tried to opened my eyes with some difficulties and then my eyes hurt from the sudden a bit of brightness of red coloured. I rubbed my eyes to ease it then I saw something clearer unforgettable as this scene get rid of my innocent as well as this will gonna hunt me for today onwards.

A scene that rose from Hell painted all around me. I saw many body parts, head with missing parts, eyes ball, organ, bones, animal parts and something that includes a human private things shattered around and filled every corner.

Every single house was wrecked with a larger hole and look ready to shatter for a simple touching. Every led highway lights was bend and barely worked as the lights was dimly as well as some don't work anymore.

The sky and the ground colour made my heart race faster because the sky is redder than my own blood and sea of blood tainted the ground. All the trees become bare as the dark aura corrupted the air filled with putrid smell.

My trembling lip became cold as well as my face turned as white as a sheet, my body started to trembling begin with my hands through the feet and then I had difficulty of breathing as I forgot how to breathe usually. Black spots appeared in my vision and almost make myself fainted then I remember a words my parents says..

"Dear Son, you are stronger than anyone else and my child fear nothing at all." I chanting this countless of times and says "I'm strong and I fear nothing at all. I'm strong and I fear nothing at all. I'm strong and I fear nothing at all."

Until my body stopped to tremble and I can breathe normally as I make myself inhale and exhale for numerous times. I was calm although I still hold fear within my heart.

This is just a dream, but my tears can't stopped strolling down every minutes as I feel awful when I looked at everywhere as if it's my fault and my heart ache uncontrolled yet I don't understand why? It just hurt unbearable but I keep chants some words until I'm calm again although it's just a trick to myself.

I tried to stand but my body felt heavy as each step I take and walked carefully to avoided stepping them also in my mind, I can't help by apologise for them to died such horrible way and I want to help them but I don't know how.

I walked carefully towards a direction as my gut tell me. After couple of hours walking, my feet hurt as I don't wear any shoes as I have some wound for walking at the bloody road as well as stinky with blood and my body feel exhausted. I transformed into my wolf form then I have only saw once at the mirror when I was 6 years old.

I was a little pup with a midnight blue fur with heterochromia eyes but what really important was that I have a wings. At the right side is goldenly silver and at the left side purplish grey.

My mommy and daddy don't allowed of myself to transform in front of others as well as to my brothers and sisters.

My questions to them, why don't the rest of my brothers and sisters have a wings like me? As well as why am I, the only one to have wings at this clan?

I don't understand why? But they're trying to answer my question although vaguely but I understand that it's dangerous and I will listen to my beloved parents because I love them!

My feet change to wolf paws cause my bones cracked then lengthening in size, my skin bloated with hair grew into a soft smooth midnight blue fur and my sharp talons replaced my nails. I shifted my weight more on my soles than my heels. Claws scraped the dirt.

It somehow ease my pain than my previous form as I feel that I can still walk for 1 day before I'm completely exhausted. I keep on walking towards a direction that I felt something is telling me to go there.

Then within my vision I see a person standing middle of the road, I have a mixed feelings when looking at that person, I feel sorrow and grief as if the whole world is against him. I feel some connected with him and I can feel the sadness and grief for losing someone really important.

I don't understand why I can feel it and I feel really greatly complicated but I still move forward at my gut desire getting stronger by the minutes.

"Awo? Awooo... Awooo! Awoo... Awooo...(Hello, are you alright? What happened at here mister... Why is this place like a hell! I'm honestly afraid.. I want to go home...)" I tried to speak but only the Awooo sound come out from my mouth then at that very moment.. I realised that I'm in my wolf form.

My body started to tremble as I was panic as well as worried and afraid that this person gonna hurt me. I want to run away as I remembered some horrible things that my parents said if anyone discovered me, I slowly backwards step by step then I stumbled down because of a eye ball that I stepped.

Then it burst apart with blood and my paw was clover with blood from it.. I feel nauseated and I look at my paw with disappointed eyes.. Then I heard that person mumbled something.. He looks a bit older than my brothers or sisters but his hair was white although he looks like in him early 20...

But I feel uncanny familiar with his but I never met with him before and I don't know.. Who he's.. Or maybe I do...

"........ Follow..... Family... H... O. F..."

I only heard 2 words that come out clear that I somehow understand it, what this person trying to said. Than this person suddenly started walking without looking if I'm followed of not. Towards the north and after a few seconds of thinking.

I decided to go along with his and I saw, he was getting farther by the minutes. I quickly stand up and chase after him.. I managed to catch up and followed his from behind.

I keep on peeking as his face but it seems a bit too blurred at my eyes yet I knew what face he makes. He looks apathetic as if nothing can hurt him any more but I saw that, he was gripping him hand tightly as if.. He was afraid of something.

The more that I look at him.. The more I feel uncomfortable hurt as if it was my fault. The thing that shocked me.. It was his tear instead of like mine, he was crying of blood every minutes as well as I'm also crying as this place affect me so much.

After couple of walking, we arrived at an wretched mansion that I'm very familiar as I had lived there for 8 years of my life and he suddenly stopped walking. It was my house and I felt surprised as my eyes grew big as well as my mouth opened wide.

I felt relief but I can't get rid of my foreboding feeling that telling me to quickly go away but I didn't listen and as I run towards the door then I stopped to look behind.

I saw him expression cracked into a pained and angry expression. The foreboding feeling escalate tenfold and I suddenly don't want to go inside. But that person slowly walked towards the door of where I'm and he opened the door of Hell.

I whimpering in disbelief "No, no, no.. Nooo!!" and howling in agonising as I saw something that had just killed something within myself. I saw some people I knew that take good care of me and never despise me although I'm an omega.

They died with their wolf form shattered piece by pieces as if some creatures eat them in cruel way and the same at the scene outside.

That person didn't look at them and walk pass towards the backyard. I followed his from behind and I didn't know that I will forever regretted this.

I see that he opened the door and after a few step he stumbled down and screaming in loud agonising. I saw him face as I'm peek at his face, it was twisted with grief and despair as you can look at his eyes that speak so desolate as well as anguished cause he face was paled with tremble lip yet he glaring at something with great hatred.

I don't know how I knew such feelings until I saw something shocked that make it difficulty for me breathe. It broke myself completely to see my parents, brothers and sisters died in cruel way. Few of people that I deeply cherished.

He keep on slammed the ground as if to lesser the pain but it didn't help as the feeling kept getting worse and worst. I was completely broke down and he turned to look at me. The blurred became clear as I finally see what it should be, it was my face, he smiled at me with great difficulty and says some words.

"This is your future, this is just the beginning as you will keep on dreaming the worst of the worst.

If you keep on being like weakling, you can't save anyone and that including myself as I'm just one of your future." Then something terrified coming near as that creature made a sound that hurt and hunt people mind like a banshee.

It was truly huge and unimaginable that something like that shouldn't existed. That creature has a thousand eyes and when it opened it mouth a disgusting smell coming out and what inside is your worst fear as it has countless sharp needles but can it compare of feeling losing your family, friends and clan.

The future me look unaffected and unafraid, keep on looking at me to say some words yet before I can heard them. I was disappeared from the scene.

"Keep on fighting for your fate, don't you dare give up because you are the only one **hope of freedom**."

[1 hour ago, MC future parallel POV]

I was standing in front of the wretched mansion that held so many memories that I hold dearly yet it greatly pained as I can't help them. Screaming for me to help and I become mad at myself for being so weak.

Each step is heavy as mountain and the closer, I'm towards the door, my heart beep faster and fastest. I opened the door that crushed me once more.

My body tremble with each step, to walk away for this hell, only to enter another hell that's more terrified than previous as my knee weakened then I stumbled down. My expression twisted into grief and despair as my eyes lose hope completely cause I was unable to help them..

Screaming and screaming for me to help them but I was unable to move cause I was too weak. I feel anguished at myself for unable to do anything and the cursed that bind me to watching, how fate played myself.

I keep on slammed the ground to lesser my regret and the pain that shot me down countless of times but it keep getting worse and worst by the minutes. I want to laughed madly for the last time but I held it back.

I turned around to see a little pup wolf with a same expression like me and I smiled although with difficulty. Says some words and hoping it will reach him. The me but he's more luckily than me as he can control his future.

A monster appear within my vision than scared most people but can it even compare of feeling losing your family, friends and clan. I felt great resentment and hatred at that bastards.

I look completely unaffected and unafraid, keep on looking at that me to said some words but I was too late as he disappeared from this scene.

Then I looked at the sky and laughed madly from the last time. Then I cried bitterly and said my family name one by one until I said one person that I deeply longing "Ez...., I'm sorry for being late and I Love You Too.. Really deeply within my soul.. I'm coming."

I used all my power to self-sacrifice before I was swallow by the monster. Unknowingly that my power was truly terrified that it effect the whole world.

I died with a sincere smiled at my face then everything turned white.

(To the present)

Daniel woke up screaming in agonising and pained as if him entire body exploded.

He can't take the pain as all him entire beings was in pain whether it's mentally, spiritual or physical. The scene was too much to bear, he want to died because he don't want to remember it then something come and hug him.

"It hurts, please tell me it's a lie!

Please! I don't want to believe it, it hurts!

It's really hurts!

Stop!

Please stop.. It's a lie.. ." through his endless screamed as well as cries and sobbing.

"Shh, My dear child , we're here, it gonna be alright, it's just a dream.. You're alright and it's a dream." I was embrace in tight hug by both my parents and engulfed by a sweet smell that slowly calming myself.

I can't think anything because my mind becomes empty and their presence help me. I asked them to stay for tonight and they agreed then my momma ask what was my dream. I say with a smile to show I'm alright although I'm dying within myself.

"It's my nightmare but I gonna be alright because I'm stronger than anyone and I fear nothing."

I hold back tears and repeat it once more "It's my nightmare." and smile brightly to them although they didn't believe that it's just a nightmare but they didn't question anymore.

I transformed myself into the little wolf let them be near at me and slowly sink into a deep sleep yet this time. I dream empty, alone in a dark of nothing but it calm me down than the previous dreams.
