Dream catcher

The king had to pay the price. The king made the choice. Unaware that he was the price, Theos never understood why he was living the way he was until the man came to get him.

“But I thought I was fighting alongside humans,” said Theos. He was sad. He never wanted things to be like this.

“Against what Theos?” asked Erim, looking at the dejected face of the man.

“I do not know…but is this really the reason I have these powers?” Theos looked up at Erim. He wanted someone to tell him that this was all a dream.

Erim took a long breath. He knew exactly where Theos was coming from. Many many years ago, he had thought the same. But time and again he had been proven wrong.
