Chapter Four of Fallen from Heaven

Chapter Four

Dreams Beyond Dreams

I yelled and was awakened by the policeman who rushed to see what is going on. It was a bad dream I told myself but then I realized I am still dreaming. I am still in the cell where they locked me up. Now I am more confused.

“Hey! Next time you yell again like that, I will lock you up somewhere else, okay?” the policeman said.

“I am sorry officer, I had a bad dream.”

“Now go back to sleep.” he said.

I lay down again but I don’t want to close my eyes this time. I don’t know “what is the meaning of the dragon attacking me”. He even called me Naszech. Is that my real name? Who is Enelra? I asked myself. If that nightmare is connected to this dream I am dreaming right now, I guess Enelra is holding something that the bringer of light is looking for. But where can I find her? Where will I start? I am in that state of confusion when someone from the other cell beside me called Naszech’s name.

“Naszech is that you?” he asked.

“No. My name is Sid” I replied.

“Wake up! Even your voice can’t deny it. You are Naszech.” he uttered.

“I really can’t remember anything but if you can help me, please enlighten my mind.”

“I am Gabriel, the messenger of God and I am here to save you from the bringer of light.” he said.

“Then tell me what to do. Tell me who am I?” I exclaimed.

“You are the keeper of hope and Enelra is the hope itself. Both of you fell during the great war of heaven.” he said.

“Then tell me Gabriel what do I need to do?” I asked.

“You must find the hope and prove to mankind that no matter what trials you will suffer, there will always be hope. That way, your soul will be spared from damnation.” he explained.

“But where can I find her?” I asked again.

“Each angel who descended from middle heaven had a few human months difference when they reached the earth. Enelra reached the earth seven months before you did. It was the thirteenth day of the first month of the year. You can start from there. Now have a good sleep.” Gabriel explained.

I asked him few more questions but I got no reply. So I decided to take a nap too. The sun is almost high now when I woke up. I quickly stand up and check the cell besides me to see if Gabriel is already awake but to my surprised, no one is in that cell so I called the policeman on duty that morning.

“Officer, where is the prisoner in this cell beside me?” I asked.

“No one is in the cell for a couple of week now.” he replied.

Now I am more confused. Is that another dream? Did I really wake up after the dragon nightmare? Knowing that I am dreaming in my dreams and waking up still in my dream makes me worry. Am I still dreaming or “me” being Sid is just a dream and I am already awake now with nothing to remember who I am? I need to wake up now.
