Our World: It Came to Me in a Dream – Chapter 2

“Petra! Papa, Petra is the place that we are to travel to! We must leave now!” I argued. “He came to me once more. The angel sent by God appeared in my dream again last night. I saw him and he spoke to me like the last time. We must leave. We must!”

“Is this the truth my Namir?” he asked me, not convinced by what I had spoken of already.

Our World: It Came to Me in a Dream – Chapter 1

First off, I will have to explain “Our World” to anybody who does not know what that is here… I am in a writing club at my school called Magic Pens and we write stories on on-line blogs like this one. (This one is not my Magic Pens blog.) Together, we decided to create a fictional world with a fictional world history and we would all write different stories within the same ficitonal world. What we came up with, was Earth many years in the future, being taken over by aliens called Qurks, (pronounced: kerk.) These aliens have destroyed much of our world and have been enslaving humans to mine for copper as it is a rare mineral where they come from. As they invaded Earth, they opened portals and such that allow mythical beasts, undead, vampires, etc. to come to Earth. Now the little human race that is left is trying to survive… That’s Our World in a few sentences. I tried to research as much as I could for this story, so if you find a mistake, please tell me. Thanks!

It came to me in a dream, as its magnificent glory stunned me. Why had this marvelous being chosen me? I was of no importance. I was just a poor young man of about ten and seven living with my mother and father in the small village of Ibleen. My family had been one of the lucky few that had survived the first few attacks from the invading Qurks. They had come before, stealing people to mine for copper and leaving us to wait for our chosen date in fear. The life had been drained from my village and the small roads lay still and quiet. We sat waiting, unsure of what to do or where to go. There was nowhere for us to go. Ibleen is located near a small oasis out in the Jordan Desert, and there is no civilization or water for miles around. We were trapped there to wait for the end…
