Chapter II: The First Sign

I will skip some years... six years later, I was 14.
I must say that by that time I was really annoyed by the society, you know, the typical stuff you think when you are a teenager, just you against the world.
I tried to be all the time with my friends, and I was all the time listening to music. By that time, my favorite bands where Iron Maiden, Kiss and Genesis. I´m really proud of my musical taste.
So anyway, one day I was at home, listening to The Police, when I heard a noise at the kitchen. It wasn´t the noise what scared me, it was realizing ten minutes later that I was alone in the house. Something was out there. Five minutes later my parents arrived, and things went back to normal, or that is what I thought...
That night I had a very strange dream. I was at a desert, but, everything was blue. The sand looked blue, but that was just because there was a gloomy blue light. And there was mist, blue as well. My visual range was very short.
I started walking, because I had nothing else to do, and immediately after moving 6 steps of my original position, I heard a noise, and another, and another... They weren´t just noises, something was generating those sounds. It sounded like, the roar of a giant beast. Clearly it was nothing like a lion, or something like that, oh no, this was bigger.
In the middle of the mist, a shadow appeared, it looked like a human at first, but it slowly started to grow because it was getting closer to me.
It was in front of me, if I just stretched my hand I could have touched it, but I was paralyzed, I just couldn´t move. I couldn´t believe what I was seeing.
It was very thin, tall, like two meters tall, or maybe more, and it was surrounded by a black tunic. It´s arms were very long, and had pointy fingers, like blades. It´s arms were thin but big at the same time. It´s chest was full with scars, but the scars showed a drawing, one I couldn´t understand.
And finally, it´s face had a strange mark, just above it´s eyes. He started talking in a really deep, distortioned voice... I couldn´t understand what he was saying, I could just figure this words: "DEATH", "TIME", "DECLINE", "FATE/FAITH", and finally "JUDGE".
I woke up all sweaty... breathless. "It´s just a dream... just a fucking nightmare for christ sake." I said to myself. I couldn´t sleep for the rest of the night.
