Update on Week 20 and 21

Hello All,

  It has been a hectic weekend. I thought I had posted week 20 for you and turns out I did not. For this, I apologize. For this coming Friday I will be posting Week 20,21,and 22.

  Here's a little insight on my life at this moment. Last week I put in an application for a house so that I could rent it. I'm hoping that the previous place I lived at will send in my history soon so that I can move in on the 9th. It's not 100% official yet but I may have my own place! Yay, adulting!

  Outside of that. Graduation was this weekend for 2 nieces and a nephew of mine. It caused more stress than I thought and I broke down at work because of it. It made me realize how much I don't connect with my family.

  Yesterday was a good day. I spent it with my girlfriend in Austin, Texas. I had a doctors appointment there and will be transferring to a doctor in my hometown now that I am no longer a child. I was going to a specialist in a bigger city since my eyes were very bad. I don't think my eyes got any worse or any better honestly. She didn't say anything to me except give me my file.

  Writing has always been a safe haven for me and now that I write this to you I realize how much I've abused this time for myself. I want you all to know that I wish you all luck in whatever battles life brings you because even if it seems like you can't pull through you will.

  If any of you ever need someone to talk I'll post my contact information below. I want you all to know that you all (even if we don't speak) are precious to me and this is the least I can do to show my appreciation. So if you need someone to talk to or need someone to try and help you figure out what exactly is wrong and how to tackle it. I'm here.

Thank you for listening,

Danieljames Domar

Week Nineteen: Unhinged: Nightmare IV

 The classroom around her shrunk as she felt a piercing pain in the side of her temple. Suddenly, her breath was short and she was a man running for his life. The battle had spread across the lands. A battle between all species. This man was an elf, out of arrows, but a speed that Vali had never encountered before. Behind him, a spirit.

 It had a black void for eyes, Vali could feel its vengeance. The elf had never encountered a spirit that could surpass a few prayers or chants that he knew from the heart. Around his neck was a charm that usually prevented encounters like so. The elf’s heart raced. The spirit has separated the soul of his eagle. (Which was another thing he had never seen before) So running was his only option.

 Vali felt her physical body jolt in distress. This elf was going to die. That was the only way she could connect with the scene. But how? Coming to the edge of the mountain, the elf came to a screeching halt. Behind him, the spirit persuade. He could feel his soul being sucked towards the spirit. Wide eyed, Vali felt the legs of the elf jolt then felt the wind past his face, a long spell left his lips as he cascaded down the mountain.

 Two minutes. That would the be the amount of time it took for him to hit the ground in a splat. Embracing the fall, Vali felt for her physical body. It was nowhere in her mental reach. A second before the elf slammed into the ground, the spell translated.

 Barriers of the heart be my ground.

Survive shall be the sound.

From truth will honesty bound

A soul to its true calling.

May it be heaven, may it be hell.

 Biting her lip, Vali gripped her desk in hopes of finding her physical body. This hadn’t happened while she was awake before. At least she was sitting. Tasting the blood from her lip. She opened her eyes slowly. Her body quivered as she came to.

 Surrounding her, the whole class stared. Impatient, the teacher pushed her glasses up and crossed her arms. “Xevolta, we don’t have time for one of your ‘mental’ breakdowns.” She said in aggravation. “Would you like to leave?”

Nodding, Vali tried to get up. Feeling the weakness in her muscles, she panicked. Her mental self wasn’t connecting with her physical self. Tears forming, Vali sat helpless as the teacher tapped her foot.

 “Don’t have time for games, Ms. ‘Volta.” She pressed, her lips doing the slant Vali knew everyone hated.

 “I…” Vali shuddered. Feeling the tears run down her cheeks.

 “You, what.?” Her teacher rolled her eyes in annoyance.

 Vali felt herself get heavier and farther from her body. The whole class was quiet. She absolutely could not stand her teacher. Most of the time she’d be quiet and do her work but this teacher had something against her. Especially when she came in crying the first time in class.

 Suddenly, Vali felt herself be lifted from her side. “Let’s go, Vali.” A baritone voice, showered over her. “I’m sure our teacher won’t mind me escorting you to the nurse.”

 Another glare was pointed in her direction. Vali wasn’t sure what her teacher had against her. She did all her work, the only thing that she did that might bother her is that she cried sometimes in class due to the emotion stress of neverending nightmares. A strong hand held her steady as the boy partly guided partly carrier her out of the room. Once he shut the door behind them, he leaned her against the lockers.

 His hazel eyes met hers in concern. “You okay?”

 Wide eyes, Vali stood speechless. “Santiago…?” She asked in a daze.

 “Devon…?” He said, waving a hand in her face. “You with me, Xevolta?”

   Vali felt her mental self reconnect with her physical self. “Devon…?” She asked, feeling her voice speak in the back of her throat.

 “Yea…” Devon blushed. “Guy who doesn’t talk much. Sometimes turns in your paper for you when you pass out in class for exhaustion…” He shrugged. “That guy?”

 Looking Devon over, Vali smirked as she saw his aura bleed off of him in a haze. Of course he would help her, there was a connection he didn’t understand that existed. Taking in a slow breath, Vali sighed. “I’m sorry that you have to help me in class so much.” She said still feeling the shakiness in her body.

 Touching her side, Devon urged her to lean on him. He was steady, and it almost felt romantic, had Vali not felt bad that he was the one pulling her weight in more than a literal sense.

 “Please don’t take this the wrong way…” Devon blushed. “I have a girlfriend…” He muttered. “But if I let Ms. No Soul abuse you anymore I wouldn’t have forgiven myself.” He smirked. “So to the nurse or would you like to go somewhere else?”

 Another sigh left her lips as she felt her weight adjust to Devon’s side. “I’m sorry, Devon.” She said, tears in her eyes. “If I could explain the kind of exhaustion I go through I would but…”

 “Don’t worry about it.” He smiled, shifting himself to be in front of her. “Piggyback ride to wherever you decide?” He asked lightly.

 Pulling her onto his back, Devon stood waiting for direction. “Would the library be okay…?” Vali managed, feeling herself lose focus again. A scream of pain rung in her ears, making her grip on Devon tighten. “All I want is for it to stop.” She cried.

“Whatever it is.” Devon said, holding her tightly. “I’m sure you’ll get through it. You do assignments without looking practically. And don’t say you can’t. I’ve literally seen you do it without looking at your paper as if you knew before she explained everything.”

 Vali gave a tired laugh. “I appreciate it, Devon.” She said, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Like I said” Devon smiled as he pushed the library door open. “Don’t worry about it.” He smiled. Turning his back to her. “Let me get our backpack and I’ll be back okay. Don’t pass out until I get back.”

 With what strength she had, Vali nodded. “I’ll try.” She said, hearing his laugh in the distance.

Week Eighteen: Unhinged: Fhei VI

 Around her, the memory dissolved. Next to her, the fake Gale stood patiently waiting for her to return to her senses. Fhei’s mind was ablaze. Pressing her hand to her temple she felt the physical weight of her body and the pounding impulse being sent to her brain. She tried to think of a way to stop it but the more she tried to think the more intense the pain would become.

 Suddenly the dimension around her collapsed into a frizzle. Clenching her physical fist, Fhei opened her eyes, realizing that she was no longer a projectile of herself. Gale was no longer visible but Fhei knew that she was still there. The world around her continued to work around her in peace. It was nice to see that the world was relaxed at the least.

 Searching for shelter, Fhei eyed a tree with lush grass not too far from the waterfall. However, she didn’t know if she could physically get there on foot considering that she could hardly stay focused. Painfully pushing herself into a walking position, Fhei quickly fell as her head began to pound. She was sure that passing out where she was sitting originally wouldn’t be a problem in a peaceful place as this but some shelter would be preferred..

 In the back of her head, Fhei could barely hear the voice but she concentrated to hear what her friend Gale had to say. It was quiet, almost as if she knew words were being said to her but the words wouldn’t come out correction. Tell. Tell? Fhei’s head throbbed the more she tried to decipher the message.

 Import.

 Fhei sighed in confusion. Tell. Import? She forced herself to keep her eyes open and stare at the area in which she would have liked to rest. Tell. Import. She pushed herself to think even though it burned to do so. For a moment, the memory of her mother coming from the kitchen into the lab pushed to the front of her mind. Suddenly, Fhei understood.

 “Teleport.” She said, staring hard at the spot. A split second later, the grass seemed to be directly in front of her. Reaching out, Fhei crawled into the lush grass against the tree and curled the jacket that she assumed belong to one of her brothers against the tree for a pillow. Within moments, she became part of the silence of the world. Around her, the world continue to live on peacefully.

--

 In the distance, Loun sat in a tree with his arms crossed. Okay, she knew how to teleport. Easy enough. But she couldn’t handle a couple of replays in her own memory? There had to be a reason. That or she was that weak. Which, he didn’t want to believe but secretly hoped.

 Normally, he would have been able to leave this dimension, world, and timeline and go to his own. However, something was holding him here and he had slight suspicion that he had to do with this ‘Guardian’.

 Glancing over her from a distance, Loun could tell that she was in a lot of physical pain. Even though she had the ability to fix it, he couldn’t let her fail in whatever it was she was meant to do in this safe haven. Gracefully jumping onto the grass beside her through his own portal, Luon knelt down quietly and passed his hand over her third degree wound on her leg. She also had a burn on her face. However, that wouldn’t kill her so he decided to allow her to fix that. Pulling his hand back, he glared as the shadow hissed at him.

 This is my prey. It said as the wound on her leg dissolved. First come first serve.

 “You’re lucky that I don’t obliterate you myself.” Luon warned.

But you allow the girl to fall to her doom? It asked, somewhat amused.

 “No.” Luon said, as he conjured a portal behind him to return to his tree. “I can’t do everything for her. She’ll have to get rid of you on her own. However, I’ll step in if you manage to go too far.” He said, settling himself back onto the tree.

 Beside him, the spirit Thiy lurked. “You spoke to it?” It asked in curiousity.

 Luon nodded. “That flesh wound on her leg was going to get infected faster than the one on her face. Hopefully she can learn to heal that. I might have to if she doesn’t in the next day or so.”

 “You’re allowing yourself to be here for that long?” The spirit questioned in amusement.

 “I can jump timelines unlike her.” He said, with a shrug. “If there’s anything I have it’s time.”

--

 Fhei woke up in trance. There was warmth and a light breeze, opening her eyes she fiddled with the jacket she had curled up into a pillow. Which brother did the jacket belong to she wondered? Breathing in, Fhei cringed as she felt a pound in her chest. Something was wrong and she couldn’t quite understand what it was. Looking around, Fhei called out softly.

 “Gale?”

 Encasing her, was the dimension she had been to before she received that awful headache. Next to her, she sat beside her own physical body. Glancing around, it took her a minute but she found her friend. Calling out again, Fhei stared until Gale looked over.

 “You’re awake.” She said, with a smile. “I wasn’t sure how long it would take you considering you had to break past the barriers that had been placed to prevent you from remembering. It was a task but I knew you could do it.”

 “Barriers?” Fhei asked looking at Gale once again. “What’s wrong with you, why are you not being as warm as last time?”

 The one taking Gale’s place appeared beside Fhei. “Sorry, I may be your friend but I do not have the memories of your friend since I’m using your memories to be your friend.” It said the paused. “Does that make sense?”

 “In a way, yes.” Fhei said but then reached for her chest in pain. “Why is the pain ten times worse in this dimension?”! She said, suddenly clenching her own physical fist. She was no longer in the dimension with ‘Gale’. Grunting, Fhei leaned up against the tree and spread the jacket across her lap, gasping when she realized that her leg was no longer in pain.

 Quickly, she touched her face, then winced in pain. Did she do that? Had she healed her own leg? That wasn’t possible. Gale but not Gale said that she couldn’t do that yet. Well, not that she knew anyway. Running the back of her hand against her thigh she twitched in feeling the pain on her face. Something was different about her leg. There seemed to be an outside source applied to it. No medicine she knew could heal a third degree would that quickly. Baffled, Fhei looked around only to find what she had fallen asleep to. This world was strange but it didn’t seem to be a place she couldn’t trust. Now only if she could stop her chest from pounding. It was as if someone was digging into her bone structure.
