I am sitting in the garden that is right off of my tower bedroom curled up in a little ball with my back against the wall hidden amongst the roses. Around me above the castle every now and then you can feel a vibration and if you look closely you can see the energy shields that protect the castle from negativity and harm shudder a bit and a blackish purple resonate out from where they have been hit.
I am alone, afraid to allow anyone into the shields because I don’t want whatever that is to come in and harm me.
I hear a voice in my head, it is Dragon asking me to let him in through the shields, he can judge the timing and they will be sealed up by the time he comes through. I so want to let my friend in so I won’t be spending time alone hiding inside the garden, but I am very afraid of the negative force trying to get to me. But, I take a chance and let the barrier down for a brief breath, a second in time and Dragon comes flying through to land next to me. As his feet touches the ground he turns into the boy I know so well.
As he walks over to where I am huddled against the wall and sits next to me with his leg touching mine, he asks, “Why are you so afraid of it?”
“How can I not be afraid? Can’t you feel the hate and malevolence resonating off the energy? Even with all of my shields in place and it being so far away, I can’t make it go away.”
“But you keep on feeding it every single time you react to it, you just have to stop giving it any reaction and it will fade away.” He says.
“Do you know what it is?” I ask
Dragon looks at me with sadness in his eyes, “Yes, I do I am afraid. You are under attack because of something I did and brought into your world.”
I look at him with hurt in my eyes, “Why would you do that? Why don’t you make it go away?”
He leans his head against mine and sighs, “I can’t make it go away, it is tied to me. It is part of who I am.”
I feel his betrayal all the way through my heart and deep into my soul. My friend, the person who I have lived life times with and adventured with brought the negative energy into my life and now it is hurting me and he will do nothing about it. I feel the tears fall from my eyes and track their way across my cheeks.
I have no words, I sit there in silence. He offers up nothing else.
The energy pounds against the shields that surround my castle and resonate a dark black blue against the sky as the sun sets and the world turns black.
