You awake in a start.
Your body covered in a layer of sweat and with your every muscle and nerve screaming at you,
you lay there for a moment before the heat compels you to push off the thick blankets covering
you, though a sudden rush of excruciating pain punishes the tiniest movement. You struggle to
find your injury, but it seems not confined to a particular area but rather washed over your entire
body. You groan in pain and grind your teeth in a weak effort to quell your intense headache,
obviously to little avail. A blinding light doesn't help the problem, but eventually it shrinks and
reveals itself nothing more than a tiny candle atop the bed stand next to you.
Fighting the exhaustion and pain, you attempt to make sense of your surroundings, though
nothing quite seems familiar. Where are you? What in the hell happened? Where you hit by a
damn bus? Sure feels like it... Worried, you try to ignore the agonizing pain and force your
aching bones up, though you're interrupted as an elderly woman suddenly rushes in and forces
you back down with surprising strength. "Oh no no no! Absolutely not! Please be more careful!",
she scolds you, readjusting your blankets and smiling sweetly down at you. "Ima's blessing isn't
something the human body was made to handle. You must calm down!"
You open your mouth to question her, but the dryness allows nothing more than a few hoarse
grunts to escape. Tenderly, she sets her finger over your lips to silence you. "Shh, my child.
Eat this." She places a spoonful of soup in your mouth. Though it irritates the walls of your
throat, you're too exhausted and starved to reject it. "You haven't any idea how lucky you are."
She says after you greedily inhale a few more spoonfuls. "To think Ima would hear your prayers
and grant your wish... you must be so excited!"
Prayers? Wish? What the hell is this lady going on about? The woman irritatingly huffs at the
confused look on your face. "Shame, no one's explained it to you yet. In due time, my dear.
Sleep now. You'll need your energy." Ever smiling, she leans over and pats the sheets as your
eyelids mysteriously grow heavy again. "The duty you've been charged with now isn't one
that you should tackle without your rest..." You struggle all you can to fight back the fatigue and
darkness creeping in on you, but your body cares little of your bewilderment and slowly coerces
you to sleep. Just as your eyes close, the woman leans in and presses her lips against your ear.
"You're a saviour now.", she whispers, before you drift off again into a deep sleep.
