Rare Chance Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Dreams Of Fate


  Dawn approached rapidly over the world of Azylin. Fallo was deep asleep in a dream that seemed to have no end in sight. The dream was still set on the lake and kept repeating over and over again. Fallo was forced to see the cloaked man and the dragon. It was until he stopped trying to go to the lake and run back the way he came that the dream changed. He saw the woods change into a battle field. A fight between The Ancients and a wizard was shown. Fire and destruction raged across the land, buildings destroyed, and many of the Hychi lay dead on the ground. Fallo watched the fight rage on but the fight looked impossible to finish. The wizard was holding the Okonis Orb, which was deflecting every attack.
  "Wait, what's going on here?!", Fallo exclaimed as he watched the fight. He could do nothing but stand and watch. Anytime he tried to help, an invisible barrier would push him back. He shouted and tried to reach for his bow, but it wasn't on his back. He looked and say it laying near the wizard. He growled and rushed into the barrier, trying to break through in order to get his bow back. He pushed harder and harder until he burst right through. As he came through, a loud shatter came from behind him, the barrier being broken. He grabbed his bow and aimed it at the wizard. He pulled back the bow and fired. Before the arrow hit, it burst into flames and burnt up until there was nothing left.
  The wizard looked at Fallo directly and shot an orb of fire at him. The dream faded away as a voice was heard. The voice was calling for help. Fallo's eyes shot open as he woke up. He sat up and got ready, grabbing his bow and rushing outside. As he stepped outside, a Flare Dragoon was causing havoc in the village. It was burning down many huts and killing many people. Fallo got in position once more like last time. He knelt to the ground, pulled the arrow back, and locked onto the dragon. "Get away from my people!", he shouted. The dragon looked at him and Fallo instantly recognized the dragon as the one from his dream. The Flare Dragoon approached him slowly, not attacking.
  "Human, so you revealed yourself at last.", the dragon said in a deep voice. "What are you doing here? Answer me or I'll kill you.", Fallo replied, the hair over his left eye blowing in the breeze, revealing the golden eye. "You are Fallo Rychini, son of Vince Rychini and the upcoming Soul Archer. I have had dreams about meeting you one day." Fallo looked surprised but kept his stance. He thought about his dream, about the encounter with the cloaked man and the dragon standing before him. "I am sorry for my rampage human, we Flare Dragoons tend to get a bit impatient waiting for others. I mean you no harm and came to deliver a message."
  "What's the message?" The dragon sat down and glared at him before speaking again. "Flare Dragonis wishes for your presence at the Valvstone Volcano in the Hobokin Woods. He wishes to discuss certain matters about our world, including the information of the Soul Archer." Fallo let all that information sink in before putting the bow down and standing up to face the dragon. "What makes you think that I'll go there?" The dragon looked at the village and replied, "What makes you think that staying here is the right choice? Do you really want to stay here or find out the true meaning to the secrets of our world and find out why you are a Soul Archer?"
  Fallo stayed quiet, he refused to answer the dragon's question. "Very well, human. You have till tomorrow to decide or a horrible fate will befall this place of Sochen. I'll be back in the morning to hear your final decision, don't keep me waiting next time. Farewell." The dragon took flight and flew back towards the forest where he once came from. Fallo stood his ground, not moving, staring at the ground. He refused to think what would happen if he stayed in the village or what will happen if he leaves. The bow in his hands glowed blue and he felt dizzy. He suddenly fell to the ground and was forced asleep.
  His dreams came back so suddenly when he closed his eyes. He was in his hut by himself, no one was with him. As he stepped outside, he was face to face with a twin headed dragon that was thirty feet tall wearing a crown atop both heads. The dragon was dark green in color with black spots around the chest area. He knew that it was a Toxic Dragoon, but it was bigger than any regular dragon of that race. The dragon roared loudly and opened both of its mouths in front of him, releasing toxic gas that seemed to be putting him into a deep slumber. He woke up an hour later to find himself in his bed. "Was it all a dream...?" He wondered that as he stood up.
  He went outside and found that it wasn't a dream, the people of the village were busy repairing everything that the Flare Dragoon destroyed. He shook his head, trying to get the dream of the Toxic Dragoon out of his head. He ran behind his hut and into the small forest area that was known as Thorny Woods. He ran until he got to an abandoned shack. He used the shack sometimes when he wants to clear his mind of things. He set his boy on a table and sat down in a chair, thinking about everything that has happened today. Fallo stared at his bow before throwing it against the wall in frustration. The bow snapped in two as it hit the wall, broken again and this time unable to be repaired. He started thinking about what he should do when the day comes tomorrow; leave or stay.
