There's a dream I've been having these past few nights.

I'm standing in front of a black palace surrounded by darkness and a thick fog.

I hear a voice calling out to me.

"Can you feel it?"

I don't know where the voice is coming from, or what it's talking about.

"Welcome to the Ministry."

I don't know whether to respond or not.

I finally gather the courage to ask, "Who are you?"

"I can give you everlasting life."

I turn around and I see where the voice is coming from.

There's someone walking towards me.

A tall man dressed in a black robe, with a hood over his head so I couldn't see his face too well.

I walk up to him, and I ask again, "Who are you?"

He says, "I am the Lord of Darkness, and you have been chosen."

"For what?" I ask.

"You have been chosen to receive the Power of Darkness, to rule the many and the known. You will see what others cannot; you will feel what other cannot. You will become an Agent of my Ministry of Darkness."

Then he slowly removed the hood from his head.

I finally get a good look at him.

His long auburn hair covers his face, but I can see his eyes...what eyes?

His eyes are rolled to the back of his head, so all I see are the whites.

Then his eyes come to the front again.

Haunting green eyes piercing my very soul.

He walks closer to me so that we are mere inches apart.

He asks me the question that I've always dreamed of hearing...

"Do you accept the Lord of Darkness as your savior? Do you allow the Purity of Evil to guide you?"

I can't help but say yes.

He offers his hand and I take it.

Together. we walk hand in hand, into the darkness.

An opportunity of a lifetime, a dream come true.

But it's just that...

A dream.
