Chapter 1

It was a foggy day when the robed lady appeared, from what seemed out of nowhere. She walked towards the white house in front of her in a slow motion, almost zombie-like, until she made it to the door. When she got there she didn’t knock or open the door she just seemed to be able to walk right through it. When inside she found her way up the winding stairs to the second floor to the second door on the right; when she walked inside and found a young man sleeping, He had light blonde hair and a clean shaved beard, and from under the covers his leg was sticking out, on the calf of his leg was a mark that looked like a bird that had been there since birth. She slowly crept over him when she pulled out a knife and jabbed it into his chest. Then a beeping sound had come out of nowhere and kept getting louder until the alarm woke Arthur up from his deep slumber of a nightmare. The dream was so real to him that he was very confused on if he was even awake or still dreaming.  He got up and walked in to the bathroom to splash water into his face, he realized he was sweating profusely. He tried to shake the feeling off and get ready for football practice; he turned on the shower and went into his room to get a change of clothes. After his shower he trimmed up his beard and to head went downstairs, he smelt the smell of delious bacon cooking, on his way down stairs he looked at his watch and realized he was late for practice. So he decided to skip breakfast and grabbed his skateboard and rode to the football field. When he arrived he was greeted by his friend Mergald shaking his head in disappointment. Mergald said " Come on lets go, your late and coach is pissed." as they walked into the locker room instead of going to get changed Arthur knew the coach wanted to see him so he just went inside his office to get the yelling he knew was coming. The Coach was red hot with anger; you could see it in his face with how red it was. Coach yelled "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" before Arthur could respond the Coach kept yelling, " Waltzing in here like you own the place, think you can show up whenever the fuck you please because you’re the head quarter back, well you’re not going to be starting the next game we play because of this, you’re going to be benched!" Arthur wasn’t really paying attention at this point, when Coach was done yelling he went to go get into his football uniform. Mergald told him “Don’t worry Coach has a stick up his ass because he isn’t getting laid anymore." this made Arthur smirk, but only for a moment before he didn’t even realize where he was anymore. Everything around him was dark and dank; he swore he was in the men’s locker room, hell he was still halfway dressed in his football uniform. Then he saw the female from his dream walking exactly like she did in his dream and towards him none the less. “What do you want with me?" "This isn’t the first time I have seen you, so what the hell do you want with me?" asked Arthur. It seemed forever before she answered with her low raspy voice " I want your kingdom, your throne, and your crown Arthur, all of which is mine by right." Arthur didn’t know what the hell she meant by that he didn’t have any of those three things, all he was, was a kid that played football and went to school. He finally snapped out of it when Mergald patted him on the back, what seemed like hours in this "vision" was only mere seconds in the real world.  He couldn’t shake what he she had said, but he finished getting dressed and went out to sit on the bench for practice.
