KNIGHTS OF LAZARD(Rise with dark hour)

Blue water and Black sky.

A drop of water dripped on a mighty liquid creating a paddle on a clear surface of deep blue water. The paddle floated smoothly in a single weave over the water without disturbing the calm silences of the blue river. Flow into a wide distance, the paddle stopped by two pairs of shoes that was standing on the still over the water.

“Here I am again…” said Allison standing with his head hung as his eyes sight was fixed on the blue liquid, “Each time I shut my eyes as I fell asleep I return to this weird place that has no beginning or end...” He lifted his head looking around, “No door for the start or No boundaries to the end. It’s all just water everywhere. As long as an eye can see there’s nothing just water above of it…” he glazed up with a light smile on his face, “the sky is all black. No stars or light of moon least a ray of sun. It’s just black with only….” He looked straight at the white back ground, “this whiteness that creates differences between the dark shy and blue water. Plus, I am the only boy here…..” he looked around as he stood in the empty surroundings, ‘It’s just never making sense. Never clearing it that what exactly is this place? What makes me visit this world? Hah…” a giggle followed as he spoke the word…….world

“It’s strange to call that…”

A world with our selves could all be commented for this boy but, was it really the world that can be called this way, an empty place for oneself.

Allison looked around when one question hit his head, “Sometimes it makes me wonder how do I remember that I have fallen asleep at the reality. Basically, not all remembers such small actions. They wake up questioning themselves whether it was a dream or a nightmare however, in my way…. I can sense both sides. It’s weird…..Can all feel this way?”

Whenever a person fell asleep, he/she is moved to a different world that isn’t real but just thoughts of their brain which plays as a lifestyle view as a form of their dream. When the play is over retuning them to wake up for the next day, sometimes he/she memorizes what they just viewed, questioning themselves why they dreamed this and what would happened if it was reality?

Commonly, happens that some doesn’t replay on your memories after waking up. The dream that was viewed at the ere night disappears in a flash of light making the person feel stress by it, that how and why did it vanish away without a proper ending.  

It’s a psychology matter every human being faces it but, doesn’t give much attention to it. It’s just a dream that could turn into night mare. Not much of a concerned.

However, for Allison, it was all a different angle. He was direct brought to the place titled by him Blue water and black sky, view the event in it later return back to the reality with his sharp memorized dream roaming in his head. It wasn’t clear why HE had to go through such cases.

Standing on the water without any fear of drowning, absorbing into the liquid or getting pushed into the dark water, Allison stood in silence watching the far sea. He stood as thou, he was waiting for something. Perhaps to wake up, meet someone or watch something, when he gazed down at the water, to his surprise there were some small dark objects floating under the water, its figure wasn’t clear as it was below the surface of the river.

Could it be stones or rocks? But, from where did it appear?

He scanned around unfortunately there was no one to be greeted.

“How come?” questioned the youth himself. He stared at the objects which were increasing in their quantity from sec to seconds. “Better be safe than be sorry” was the phrases that spoke in Allison’ mind. He bend down, stretching his left hand, dive it into the water. For the first time he felt the temperature of the water all over his skin shocking him out. Ere, he DID lay over it, floated and sometimes fell on it; on these occasions never he felt what exactly the degree it would feel was.

Here, at present, it met the temper, cold like frozen water that could chill your throat to soar. It wasn’t easy to drink it at one gulp, you would need slip by slip like hot cup of tea if you wish to have a taste of the water.

Unfortunately, Allison wasn’t thinking of it, his attention was focused on the object that appeared out of nowhere into this world. Diving deep till his elbows got soaked, with his left hand, he finally caught one of them “GOTCHA!” he exclaimed, “Man! Who could think that these were floating that deep?”

For him it seem like the objects were in shallow water, unbelievable the fact seem to go that deep. When he pulled out his arm, holding the object, standing up, he checked on it, turning him pale to discover the object.

“A BONE?!” A small white and pale piece of sharp edge bone piece was resting on the boy’s palm, “This looks like a piece of claws” though Allison by looking at it, “but then why is it here?” Why are bones under the water?”

This place started to fright him out. He wanted to return back and open his eyes tragically, it wasn’t happening. He couldn’t wake up none could he make himself get off to the reality. He caught up his guts as he swallowed his fear, “Better than standing here I must look out for a way why these bones here ARE?” Gawking here and there, Allison noticed on the swimming bones that these objects were floating from his right side to the left side. This made him curious about them. The bones had a location of starting point. He turned to his right side and ran to the opposite direction, running in search, where did they appear from.       

Hopefully, there his answer will be waiting.

With his sight fixed on the bones under the water, Allison ran as he could over the water following against the swimming direction. After few minutes of running, the bones were gone. In a stamp, Allison suddenly stopped and began scanning around wondering why did they stop?

What made them vanish at this stop and then appear in the other side?

There was nothing around, neither on the shy none on the surface. This puzzled Allison more, disturbing his impression why this was this turning odd to nonsense when suddenly, the water under his feet began to take a change at it’s form/

There were swipes, turns and weaves all around him with paddles and bubbles creating an unseen figure. Viewing this Allison stepped away from it’s creation to the side for a proper view what was it forming. Symbols of winds weaving on the water forming weaves and droplets, paddles created around a large sign till finally, it drew over itself a circle.

To Allison’s surprise, there was a crest created on the water from which the bones were releasing into the open sea. “It’s a crest drew by the water” surprised Allison “Why? What is it showing me?”

Sadly, there was no answer to his doubts. Everything that doubted and troubled him, He had to solve it by himself on his own.
