I typed the code to the keypad to get access to the apartment

The doors open and i made my way to the post box to check if there is anything is in the post.

Just trash as usually.

I took the stairs to get to my apartment door which is located on first floor. Usually I live and study abroad but every summer I come here to visit my family and live with my grandparents.

I immediately went to my room and changed my t-shirt which was stained in bear and dirt. While I was undressing I reminded myself of the amulet.

I inspected it one more time, the metal was pitch dark and as far I know it wasn’t made of aluminum or silver. The raven head also was strange, when I stared into his eyes I could feel, that amulet was shaking.

Anyway I was hungry, so I went into the kitchen and took some of my birthday cake. Satisfying my hunger I went directly into bed without changing my clothes.

I felt really tired.

I immediately felt asleep.

I woke up, but instead of sight of room and daylight I was covered in.darkness.

I pinched my cheeks to check is I am in dream, but to my surprise the darkness didn’t go away.

Then I saw a light below my feet. I looked down the see a old castle covered in mist. Then i saw a raven flying of from castle, up to the sky towards my direction.

I took a step back when the raven flew under my feet and stopped to look into my eyes. Then the raven somehow changed into human!

It was a man, dressed in strange black outfit with a cape decorated with feathers. Long dark hair and deep blue eyes.

My mind was filled with amazement, so without thinking I asked.

“Who are you? How did you do that?”

“I understand that you have questions. Don’t be afraid. My name is Alistair Waterlow, as on how I did that I am planning to teach you, if you chose so but you have choose yourself”

“Where I am?”

“Your mind is between my word and yours. We are talking inside the amulet your body is wearing, while you sleep.”

“So what do you want from me?”

“I want you to save my world.”
