The legend of ice

Once, I have heard of a quote that says:" Life is all about challenges, so if you want to live your life, accept the challenge". Yeah easy for you to say.

But I say that it would be best if we never took the bait . And I advice you, dear reader, save yourself before it is too late. Why? Well hear my story.

My name is Hasan Awada. I am a 15 year old youth from Lebanon. Nothing unormal happened in my life. Always the boring stuff. School and then home studying. However, when I became 15, everything changed.

On my birthday night I had a dream. Well, I have dreams every night, but this night's dream seemed more like a vision.

I saw myself outside a mansion surrounded by a forest. Atop this mansion was a statue of a bird fluttering its wings. I turned and... WOW, it was the biggest maze I have ever seen. Not that I had seen an actual one, but still it was big.

I returned my attention to the mansion. I almost freaked out when i saw a man in black robes which surprisingly had approximately the same appearance of me. The man had dark long hair, completely black eyes, and the face of mine. Have I mentioned that the time was night?

The man eyed me like I was a prey waiting to be chewed by the predator.

And suddenly he spoke with my voice " Hello Hasan", he smiled " I was awaiting you".

Then I woke up in the morning just when my mother was going to scream " HAPPY BIRTHDAY!".

So anyway, I was going to wake up like a crazy whether i had a dream or not.

I woke like always only disappointing my mother because she didn't have the chance togive me the surprise.

And to my surprise, the dream was still stuck in my head. Usually dreams would be forgotten after someone woke up, but this one was still hunting me like it was real.

I set that aside and got to school like everyday. Sometimes school classes can be so boring that the teachers don't mind you sleeping in their class.

While I was sleeping, I heard my voice talking to me in my head: " Hi Hasan".

" Um... Hi?", I answered.

" Yeah sorry for what happened last night" , he said, "I should have talked to you in person rather than feaking you out in that dream".

" Wait...", I reviewed the talk many times, "WHAT???!".

" Don't tell me you thought it was a normal dream?", he said.

Well he had a point. Like I said, this dream felt more like a vision that happened in real life. But I can't still believe that my voice is talking to me in my head, less than a crazy dream.

" Oh.... So you're the man from the vision? ", I asked.

" Obviously ", he admitted. "Nevertheless, I will be seeing you this evening so be prepared to meet me. Bye".

" Wait", I shouted to him in my head but no answer came.

And like this my day couldn't be less crazier.
