A Dreadful Nightmare

[----- 838]

 

---

Stefjan Kovachev abruptly opened his eyes as he woke up in a cold winter night. His breathing was heavy and accelerated. He placed his hands by his sides and pushed himself up to rest his back against the headboard of his bed with haste as he looked downwards to rest his gaze upon his wife, Aleksandra, as she slept to make sure she was unharmed. He pressed the back of his right hand against his forehead for a moment and wiped off the cold sweat that had formed on it. “It was only a bad dream.” He muttered to himself quietly, and released a soft sigh of relief before he carefully stood up from his bed to prevent Aleksandra and Astrid, his beloved three-year-old daughter, who slept calmly on a wooden cot besides his bed from waking up.

 

He made his way towards the door and gently pushed it forward to leave the room and headed to the kitchen of his household. The room was dimly lighted by a ray of moonlight that entered through a small hole on the wall that acted as a window, but it granted Stefjan enough visibility to see his surroundings clearly. He looked about for a few moments and took a wooden bucket that was filled with water and placed it below the moonlight on the table. He formed a cup with his hands and sank them on the bucket to splash his face with the liquid before he placed his hands on both sides of the bucket and looked down to see his reflection. His expression turned blank as he recalled the nightmare, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead once more. An endless undead army that did not end with the horizon, with thousands upon thousands of them bearing tabards with the colors of the Haensetic and Courlandic soldiers who had fought and died at the siege of the Vasiland, marching westward under the command of many undead warlords.
