Shumi Mediane (Part 1)

Shumi Mediane, a very beautiful young girl awakens from her nightmare. The incident that he saw clearly about one of the rulers of the underworld in his dream made his pure white body tremble without his owner realizing it. He rose slowly from his sleep and sat on his bed still with a terrible memory. The ends of her black unravelled hair touched her mattress wrapped in a white sprai cloth that was very clean and smooth. A few moments later he could only wake up to blink his bright green eyes. “Nightmare again, the second time after the night of my 17th birthday and why is it so clear again?” he said in his heart.

“Mother,” now Shumi's voice is quite heard throughout the room where she is, the bedroom of a princess from the magnificent and beautiful Throttling Kingdom. He stood up and left his bed after trying to tidy up a blanket that was not too messy. He then rushed to put on his blanket made of very fine white artificial feathers.

Shumi was a little in a hurry to run out of his sleeping room. His large, majestic door was opened after he had unlocked it and regardless of the guard standing beside the door, he continued on his way. Aisle after aisle he passed until he faced the big door again. He turned for a moment to the guard on his right and left and knocked on the door with an iron attached to it, right in front of him.

Dugs. Dugs.

The door was knocked twice. “Your Majesty the Queen hasn't left the room yet right?” shumi asked the guard.

“Not yet, Mr. Princess,” replied one of the guards swiftly.

“Mother, let me in,” Shumi shouted a little loudly. He knocked on the door a few more times.

Before long, the sound of a key opened from behind the door. Slowly the man who opened the door looked. The King Victor. He seems to be wearing his royal clothes. “What's Shumi?” tanyakanya.

“Dad, I want to talk to mom,” replied Shumi. He was rather surprised to see the King was already dressed in royal formal attire. “It looks like there will be a meeting today,” he said inwardly. After seeing the king, he felt a little better, but he wanted to keep meeting his mother.

“You look different, Shumi,” said King Victor who watched his son closely, “please enter my son, your mother is inside, sorry I have to go to the meeting room so early,” he explained again.

“Good Daddy” reply Shumi. He received King Victor's hug and a kiss on his forehead, then gave way to his father who immediately rushed into the meeting room. The guards also paid their respects as the king passed by. After King Victor was no longer seen, Shumi immediately entered and closed the door of the king's room.

“What's Shumi?” suddenly Queen Stephanie asked from her bedroom lying next to the entrance hall.

Shumi rushed through the entrance hall and the door was already open. She saw her mother sitting on her bed covered in thick sheets. His face is a bit pale. Queen Stephanie has been ill for a month, exactly two months after celebrating her son's 17th birthday.

“Mom already feel better?” shumi asked as she sat in the same bed as her mother. They're facing each other. “Mother has eaten?” ask her again while looking at the face of Queen Stephanie.

“Mother feels better today, even though mother has not eaten, Shumi,” replied Queen Stephanie, “and you do not need to serve, later if mother wants, mother will ask Via to serve it for me.” Via is the Queen's personal servant.

“Alright, Mom!” shumi.

“I dream again, Mom!” shumi answered as she stroked the back of her mother's palm, including a silver ring with a dark diamond coiled around her middle finger. He looked at his mother's expression of surprise and said, “a bad and very clear dream as if I were there, just like that night.”

“Dream about one more eidolon?” sahut The Queen, “dia again or another eidolon?” he added.

“Eidolon Pluto again bu,” replied Shumi, “but he looked different from when the first dream first. This time he was more like a living skeleton, but his robe was the same. It was so horrible. He was with his servant whom he called Anubis. Then he...” explained Shumi and continued to convey his dreams in detail and detail according to what he saw to his mother.

“That's an incident 500 years after he went to the underworld huh? It means 500 years after your first dream,” Queen Stephanie astonished, “you used to dream when she decided to go to the underworld, and now he explains what he did in that underworld.”

“Is this a bad sign of Mom?” shumi asked, “I only know the story of the creation of this world from the book I read in the library and that story only tells of Eidolon Pluto eliminating him. The book explains that at this time he is still with us though somewhere, even it is almost like a fairy tale, Mom!” added Shumi.

“Yes, and your dream seems to give how the story, no, but the event happened actually,” replied the Queen. He was silent for a moment staring at the ceiling of his bedroom.

“What is the sign of something?” shumi asked again breaking the silence of that moment.

Queen Stephanie was a little surprised and slowly looked back at her son. “No, Shumi,” he said as he rubbed his son's face again, “that's probably just because you're too imaginative with the story you read because it looks like mom has never heard the story you dreamed of.” Queen Stephanie tries to calm herself and her son.

“But how can I know Anubis' name?” shumi asked, “even I have never imagined about such things.”

“Yes it is a nightmare, Shumi,” explained Queen Stephanie, “sometimes absurd things happen it will even more absurd if it happens inside the dream.”

“I hope so, Mom,” Shumi said.

“What's wrong, my dear,” his mother replied, “but, if you dream again, keep telling me that to Mom, yes! Maybe you need some therapy for this."

Once again they were silent for a moment until finally Shumi hugged her mother tightly. “Alright, Mom! Hopefully not a bad sign, I'm so scared,”.

“Let my dear, you are with all your family here and all will take care of you,” added Queen Stephanie.
