Chapter 7: Harridan's Dream
"When you look into the Abyss the Abyss also looks into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche.
The ground was silent and plain with nothing but dirt and a lonely figure that was running away desperately from something.
The figure resembled Harridan but didn't also quite look just like him. Then the things that were chasing him were revealed.
It looked like a hound of wolves and at the same time looked like a single human figure.
It looked wierd but dreams can be as wierd as they want.
The chased figure was about to be engulfed by the wolflike chasing figure but at the instant he was engulfed a thunderous roar was heard.
The wolflike figure now cowered amidst the noise of the roar and the chased figure shone brilliantly in rosy red.
Then the ground began to tremble at the presence of the chased figure who was now glowing in a brilliant red.
Now the wolflike figure doubled and tripled and grew in size exponentially the humanlike resemblance it had was utterly gone now and that figure now was like a writhing mass of terror and the chased figure couldn't hold a candle to the chaser.
Now the rosy glow seperated from the chased figure and was sollidifying into a form of a small orb and the glow dulled.
The ground was now torn and tormented by the terror inspiring figure. cracks grew into chasms and lava spouted from those cracks like a fountain .
A wild howl that curdled ones blood could be heard and the huge figure made it's strike towards the chased figure.
Now the dull red colour of the orb dulled into blood red and darkened even further untill it became black .
Darkness of the black colour of the orb was unusual. It's colour was not a colour anymore but true darkness. The orb looked like it was a portal into a world of the depths.
It was like the orb was a window for the Abyss.
The ground now again grew silent and the huge figure was actually frightened. It cowered and turned to run away but the ground under it suddenly gave way and the figure tumbled into a bottomless hole.
It fell down wailing all the way. The darkness now grew into a human figure and came towards the chased figure that looked like Harridan.
The chased figure was afraid of the black humanoid mass that was moving towards it.
The figure now came close and said one word "Father!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a sweaty Harridan woke up from the nightmare and was still shaking. The thought of the Black figure confused him.
As he slowly came back to his senses he found that the baby he was carrying was gone and a random strange dude was sleeping near him.
He first thought it might be Matthew but then he heard Matthew snotring elsewhere.
This guy is not Matthew!, Harridan realised.
That was not the wierdest thing but this stranger was buck naked. He was well built and handsome and Harridan was sure as hell that noone else followed them during the night.
The most alarming thing was the Baby Yuse was nowhere to be found!
