The Prophecy (My best story ever written!)


“Darkness has filled the world”…

”The prophecy of Eli needs to be fulfilled”…

These audible words were spoken into him after a strong presence of a Vigorfly came upon him. He woke up in bewilderment from that vivid surreal dream which gotten him into a cold sweat. He was so confused, why would a Vigorfly enter his dream and speak to him in such strange but yet convincing words.

Laguna was a young aspiring designer, an orphan and has been living alone ever since he left the orphanage. He led a simple life and always aims to be the best in his work. Although he seems like any common man around, he actually had this rare gift; he would see strange sights of mysterious Vigorfly. This mystic spirits cannot be been seen with a normal human eye, when seen their bodies are in a mist like form portraying the form of humans or animals. They are energy of life that moves around freely in this world of Arthenia belonging to the essence of Eli. At times they can enter human beings at random, giving them strange and immerse power to do more than a human could do, revealing thoughts and secrets of the world. But never ever in his life did a Vigorfly enter his dream until that fateful day.

In his younger days, he somehow had this inner thought in him that he had this strange higher calling, but he would just pass it off as any childhood dream to do something great in the world. Pondering on that fateful night, he thought that was just some normal strange dream that was in his highly imaginative mind, but he was very wrong. That was only the start of many more vivid surreal dreams to come.

Bright light filled the space, large mass of land formed, valley grew green with grass, and lush trees started forming from the land. Light wind was heard ruffling the grass. And the higher slopes grew dark with heather as bristling green appeared in the valley. Suddenly, vast water sprouted out of the ground and water filled the sky. Those were the scenes that he saw so vividly in his dream. Laguna was even more confused from that vision. “What does this all mean?” He exclaimed.

The following night, another dream was revealed to him, he saw this mystical creature which seems to have a dark power from deep inside, walking with his head held high, he seemed to be one with full of pride, wanting all glory and power for himself. This creature came upon Arthenia and poured darkness into the World. By the third dream, Laguna couldn’t take those outpouring of surreal dreams anymore, he really wanted to know why he was having this strange dreams and what it all meant.

When he thought his answer would never be answered, he heard a knocked on his door. Stood there a mysterious hooded old man who had very mature eyes that have seemed to seen the world. He introduced himself as a summoner, they were beings that could speak and communicate to Vigorflies and are chosen people of Eli. Their goal in life is to go on these pilgrimages to this “Lost City” and if all of them gather there, they would fulfill their destiny. At that point, Laguna muttered to himself, “never in his life thought that he was actually going to meet a summoner, first strange dreams, now this”.

Ever since he was young, he always thought that such summoners were all just myths and legends. But ultimately, he was glad that there were others out there who had visions like him too. The summoner explained, that their primary mission is to find the other summoners all over the world of Arthenia and gather at the “Lost city” that was revealed to them. He said the Vigorfly are their guides, teacher and counselor which reveals to them other chosen people of Eli to go on this same pilgrimage.

After hearing the whole story about this whole prophecy and “Lost city”, it still seemed too far-fetch for Laguna to digest. He was still quite skeptical, but somehow, deep in his heart, there was this prompting to just listen to that summoner. Putting much thought into it, he knew that his dreams and visions itself were surreal and weird enough. After much contemplation he just gave in to the summoner, giving him the benefit of the doubt that all that was shared was true.

From here on, the mysterious man introduced him to some of his other summoner friends as he prepared for an adventure ahead. The positive thing about this pilgrimage for Laguna was despite him still being a little skeptical about this whole thing; he was one that seeks adventure. He was willing to give up his aspiration of becoming a designer to go on this pilgrimage with this other summoners in search of this “Lost city”.

The following night, another dream came upon Laguna again, this time, he saw this majestic rider on a horse, his eyes were like blazing fire and on his head many crowns, he had a name written on it that no one knows but he himself. The vividness of each vision seems too real to be just a dream.
Laguna would always ponder deeply after each dream and would share it with the other summoners. The summoners would also teach him how to interpret and develop the control of his visions better. All this while, Laguna didn’t know this, but all the other summoners began to realize that he was different and special some how, he wasn’t like any of them. Despite he being able to see Vigorflies and have dreams and visions like any other summoner, his visions didn’t reveal any thing about that “Lost city” which was supposedly to be revealed to all summoners. Instead, he saw glimpses of seemingly what seems to be in the past in some strange realms out of the world of Arthenia.

Then one gloomy night, all of them decided to take refuge at this abandon temple to seek rest. Laguna went into another deep sleep immediately, while the summoners all sat together pondering about everything that had happened so far. They were all reflecting on how Laguna visions and dreams seemed to have some deeper meaning behind them. From their observations they sense that Laguna could actually be part of this whole prophecy. With the new insights, the Vigorflies prompted the summoners that the time has come to call for the final meeting.

One by one, men with hoods in colours of grey, brown & black representing all the nations of the world of Arthenia came to this meeting. And for the first time ever in the history of summoner’s pilgrimages, was where all forty-two chosen summoners of the Eli came united in one same location. The summoners were preparing for the final ritual, in a dark and quiet spacious room of an abandon temple where they started praying in unison. Fervently they called upon the Vigorflies of Arthenia to empower them again and to show them the “Lost City”. This time they had full faith that the exact location will be revealed, with each of them claiming upon the promise that was made more than 2000 years ago.

Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the room where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the power of the Vigorflies; each of them suddenly had this immersed power of actualization and wisdom on their visions. The pieces of the prophecy were being piece together one by one in their visions. And after more than 2000 years searching, they all finally had this revelation and a clear sight of where the exact location of the “Lost City” was.

On that same night, Laguna still in that deep sleep in a small secluded area of that abandon temple was having more vivid dreams and visions as usual. However, this time his dreams were more lucid and it all seemed too familiar. As the flashbacks of previous visions started appearing before his eyes, he felt he was experiencing a déjà vu of events where he was in a major part of more than 2000 years. It was all becoming too real. This time he felt he was in the dream itself.

Suddenly, Laguna woke up; this deep inner sense of rejuvenation and revelation filled him. He felt so anointed, as though some immerse presence had entered his body. Flash backs appeared before his eyes again, right from the very first audible voice of words that were spoken to him; to the vivid scenes of what seem to be the world of Arthenia forming together; followed by the dark image of the mystical creature that was then cast down unto the world of Arthenia filling the world with darkness. And then finally the forth flash back that instilled in his eyes, there vividly a glimpse of him coming in on a white horse and the name that only he knows was spelt out “anugal” which in reverse was his very own name, Laguna.

Then, there stood around him, the forty-two summoners who were all speechless and in deep silence; each of them had an expression of reverence and awe towards him. It was a consequential moment that would be the greatest historical event of man kind. The summoners had just realize they were standing right in front of the prophecy it self. Laguna was the “Lost city” all this while. He was the prophecy!

The summoners still in awe from all the happenings just stood there. They were waiting upon the man who now had a shimmering glow of light shining out from his body to speak. He then began to explain everything with this sudden great wisdom and knowledge. He said how all those surreal dreams where the Vigorfly has been entering in him were all seen in the eyes of the sovereign majestic Eli, who was “the beginning and the end”. He assured them with words of absolute authority that each of these summoners’ destinies had been fulfilled. The act of them uniting together fulfilled the prophecy to find the “Lost city” which was Laguna himself.

At the heavenly realms, there stood with eyes of great reverence, looked over unto the new world, the darkness being defeated and gradually being wipe out from the face of Arthenia. The mystic Vigorflies who was once only seen by summoners could now be experience by anyone at will, and an inner sense of peace would instill in the people who believes in this Vigorflies. And finally, after more than 2000 years after darkness filled Arthenia, there the “beginning and the end”, Eli spoke in words of great sovereignty and absolute authority. “It is finished!”
