The Paladin Prophecy

OPEN ALL DOORS, AND AWAKEN.

Why did that sound familiar? Will tried to track the connection but his eyes closed and he fell asleep with the book on his chest.

Climbing up through the walls of Greenwood Hall, the bug never varied its path or pace. Soon after Will fell asleep, a creature the size of a cockroach squeezed through a crack between the floor and baseboard of Will’s room. Flat and armored like a beetle, the creature was studded with coarse black hairs. An unusual number of eyes bulged from its head. The creature trudged across the room, up a desk leg, and onto the surface to Will’s tablet. The bug’s forearms probed the sides until a port opened in the black seamless metal. The bug wriggled inside and disappeared.

Moments later, the computer turned on. Legs unfolded in back and slowly lifted the machine. The numinous black screen shimmered to life. Legs inching around in almost undetectable increments, the machine shifted until the screen faced the bed.

And it watched Will sleep.
