MINATO'S SECOND LIFE IN THE DREAMWORLD The light from the sun struck my eyelids... The sweet sounds of the singing birds was the first thing that hit my ears, it was also responsible for bringing me back from unconsciousness. The seawater crawled upon half of my body as a result of the tropical wind that swept over it. My eyes were still shot even though I had gained consciousness, not fully, but I was already half conscious, trying to figure out why it was possible for me to hear the birds sing across me while I was still in the comfort of my bed... “Maybe they are just on my roof” I thought to myself. I also found it hard to believe what I concluded, but I was in denial, trying my best not to realize where I truly was. “But…Where is the light coming from? Did I forget to turn off the light again last night?” I squeezed my eyelids tightly at the intensity of the light from the sun that kept striking my eyelids. I stretched my arm confidently with my eyes closed, because even
CENTRAL CITY OREGON I was plunged out of the dream in no time, and it seemed as if I had arrived into another new world at first until I saw Kilish and Ral standing beside me. I was sent into this dream where I lived life just like I used to live while I was on earth, and it was so special. “Welcome back Sanxi,” Ral says to me and my brows draw together. I wished they never brought me back here by waking me up from the dream. The dream was a remembrance of the kind of life I just to live on earth and it was full of freedom. “Why did you wake me?” I say to Ral and Kilish who are both standing beside me- Kilish on my right and Ral on my left. “You have misplaced your priority in the dream we sent you into. You lost your way from the true purpose, and it got to a point where you began to live another person’s life. The young woman called Iris Greenwood is not even in existence, not in this world and not even on earth. It was all just a trick from the enemy,” Kilish explains to me and
E A R T H R E A L M CRANE'S APPARTMENTJASON'S POVSomehow, I got Crane laughing out of an issue as serious as this one. Somehow, he felt it was all some kind of plot from me to make him laugh. The stern look worn over my face makes him pull his laughter to an end. He realizes that I was no way trying to make him laugh if not, I would have joined in the laughter. How could I ever laugh about this?"You are serious?" Crane says to me and I sigh, hanging my head. "Of course, I am serious!" I yell at him and he trembles. He walks closer to me and stands, and at this moment, I can see that he is giving a second thought to all I have said, and maybe he is getting to think about the possibility that everything I said actually happened. "I have no idea what you saw, but from what you said, if it truly happened just like you said it did then it must be something relating to the supernatural," Crane says to me and I sigh. "Of course, everything happened just like I have said to you.
D R E A M W O R L DM I N A T O'S P O V My eyes open and they meet the shinning sun. It is so harsh that I have to shield my eyes with my hands. I have no idea how I got here, but it hit me that I am not laying on my bed. In fact, it is clear that I am laying in the sands, in a place that is extremely hot. I can feel the hot grains of sands sticking to my sweaty body around the regions that are not covered by the cloth I am putting on. I turn on my face and I push myself up by pushing on the ground. I sigh when I finally get up. "Where is this place?" I say to myself as I let my eyes wander around in the surrounding sands. The sands are just like gold, and it looks very beautiful, but it is so hot here, and for that I cannot enjoy the view for long. It is clear to me that this is a desert and for this, I may not find a better place to hide from the intense sunlight. I will have to bask under it for a really long time. I know this, but I still cannot give up. I decide that I wi
D R E A M W O R L DM I N A T O'S P O V I have walked for a long time, and at this point, I am standing in a place, a region where I can see a camp. I hope that my eyes are not deceiving me. Because if there are deceiving me, I will have to keep walking. But if by chance this turns out not to be an illusion, I will be able to go ahead into the camp and try to speak to the people that live there. Maybe there can help give me a space to rest my head, and maybe some water to drink or food to eat. I walk barefooted as I stroll down the pile of sands that leads into the depression where the camp is sited. There are about 50 tents of different colors, and this is just the ones my eyes can reach. I have no idea if there are more, but this count goes for the one that my eyes can see from my vantage point. Some more time walking, and I reach my destination. The first tent I meet is the one that appears to be the largest. This seems to belong to someone of a higher status, maybe the one
D R E A M W O R L DM I N A T O'S P O V "I am so surprised that you are offering me such an opportunity, but I have no skill to offer," I say to him, wondering why he suddenly decided to add me to his team. "No, on the contrary, I think you have everything we need and don't have on our team. Your way of thinking is different, and we can use your help. By the way, even if you don't like the offer, you can at least stay here, get a shelter and some food, and while you wait until you remember where you came from, you can help us in contributing to our struggle in trying to find the fast traveler," he says to me and I grin. "Of course, I am interested in the offer. I was only afraid that I won't be able to help you in anyway, but if you still think I should stay then it is fine with me. Thank you for your help," I say to him and he nods. "My name is Drin, what is your name?" he says to me. . ."Minato, Minato Nishimura," I say to him and he stretches his hand toward me and clasp m
D R E A M W O R L DM I N A T O'S P O V I have made up my mind to take whatever comes with it. I have given up on running and I knelt down just to make the ring come to me and I sopped from it. I brace myself as I get ready for a hit from it, or maybe something that will cause me a great pain, but nothing like that happens. I open my eyes after I fail to sense any pain and I also detect absolute silence around me. I open my eyes and I see that the ring is right before me and has stopped moving. It is resting in the pile of sands before me and it is still glowing. "Who are you?" Drin says to me as he stares at me from a distance. He along with every other person is afraid of me, and they can't understand how I got the ring to stop moving and rest before me. It is a mystery to them and they are probably wondering if I am some kind of magician, but the thing is, even as I cannot remember everything about myself, I still do not think I have magic or anything of that sort that is cap
C E N T R A L C I T Y, E R E G O N.M I N A T O'S P O V"Note that this ring is powerful, and it must be kept with caution. It was made by our ancestor, Xenark's brother, and it was meant for you. It was written in his prophecy about you, but Xenark cast it into the dream world when were all ignorant about the prophecy and had no idea what it meant. We were so careless then that we could not really worry about the ring and what Xenark did to it," Kilish says to me and I sigh. "what is the purpose of the ring with me? It should be for something, and Xenark was putting it away from me because he didn't want me to use it for the purpose it serves," I say to him and he turns to Ral and turns back at me. Maybe he needed a second opinion to back his up. He may not be sure if it is right to tell me, but some part of him wants to tell me. "It is called the locator. It will help you to track, locate and find any creature from the underworld that creeps into Eregon. It is a strong inst
