SIDEREAE Chapter 42
Quara Bridger woke up to the sound of sirens blaring in the distance. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed, still groggy from sleep. She glanced at the clock on her bedside table and frowned. It was too early for the sirens to be sounding.She got out of bed and walked over to the window, pulling back the curtains. What she saw outside made her heart race with fear. Chaos had descended on the earth. Buildings were crumbling, cars were overturned, and fires raged out of control. In the distance, she could see strange creatures, monsters, unlike anything she had ever seen before.Quara's mind raced with questions. What was happening? Was this some kind of terrorist attack? And then, as if in response to her thoughts, a news broadcast came on her television. The newscaster looked terrified as she spoke."Ladies and gentlemen, we are getting reports of strange creatures appearing all over the world. We don't know what they are or where they came from, but they are wreaking havoc everywhe

When she finally reached the hospital, she saw that it was heavily guarded by soldiers. They were wearing armor and carrying advanced weapons that she had never seen before. Quara approached the soldiers with caution and said, "Excuse me, I need your help. My friend Samantha has been poisoned by mutated earthworms, and we need to find Mikael to cure her. Can you please let us in?"One of the soldiers looked at her skeptically and asked, "How do we know you're telling the truth? And who's Mikael?"Quara took a deep breath and said, "I encountered them when we were leaving the city." She showed them proof by showing them the mutated earthworm's fang. "And Mikael is a combat healer who can cure Samantha's poison. Please, you have to believe me."The soldier exchanged glances with his comrades and then nodded. "Alright, we'll let you in, but you have to wear this protective suit and take this weapon. It's dangerous out there."Quara donned the suit and took the weapon. She felt a sense of
SIDEREAE Prologue
Mathieu has a conflicted feeling as his eyes trail Sid's back. He remembered her pale face washed with tiredness as her cheeks lost their color. The tiny tint of blush on her cheeks lost its color, and those beautiful freckles that she had became dull. Her glittering mismatched eyes became sunken and somber. The dark spots under her eyes became vivid, making him think that she isn't getting enough sleep. and her body figure became thinner. She stopped doing things that she used to love, and her eyes don't sparkle anymore when they talk about things that she used to enjoy. It's as if everything turned meaningless. Sid became even more quieter and distant even to Mathieu, her closest friend. It became harder for him to reach her, as Sid preferred to stay alone and shut herself away from everyone. Mathieu could no longer see the sweet and happy Sid he once knew, as she now became lifeless and apathetic. The Sid he knew was getting farther away, and Mathieu couldn't shake the thought t

It was a gloomy weather, and in the corner of a small town, a funeral was being held with only a tiny number of people who attended the ceremony. Sideraea, had a hard expression on her face, as she watch her father's coffin being buried on the ground. She wasn't able to cry, because her tears had already dried out after crying in grief for a couple of nights. The people began to disperse, after saying their goodbye and condolences to her and Sid, politely thanked them for attending the ceremony. "Sid," Her uncle called as he walked toward her. Her uncle Mario, is the only one who didn't cut ties with her father Elknox Lirrian after he was disowned by his family for marrying Sid's mother Laney. "Uncle. . ." She replied with a forced smile on her face. "Are you sure about your decision to move with your mom?" "You know, I can take you along with me," He asked with a voice full of concern. "Thank you uncle, but my mom already agreed to take me. Besides, I don't want to burden you.

"What should I do to become a dreamer?" Oneiroi's lips curved into a loop-sided smile when Sid spoke those words. "It's simple, you just need to form a contract with me. If you do, you can freely travel to different worlds. You can also gain the right to possess artifacts or abilities that'll help you, in your future travels." "Then, what will you get in exchange?" Sid asked with a serious tone coated in her voice. I never tried to form a contract before, but my dad taught me that I need to consider the benefits of signing a contract and to think carefully about the gains and losses that I'll get upon agreeing. "Hoh, this kid is smart. Elknox surely taught her." He thought in amusement, as he looked at her firm gaze despite the nervousness on her pretty face. "Your dreams." "My dreams?" "Yes. I'll get the right to eat all your dreams," Oneiroi opened his right palm and a bright yellowish light appeared with a variety of beautiful pictures in it. "Be it a good dream or a bad d

Sid opened her eyes at the sound of the bustling street, in an unfamiliar place. The street is full of busy shops and people walking on the sides and carriages passing by. She can smell the freshly baked pastries coming from the nearby bakery, and the smell of fresh flowers from the stall. She can see the ladies chatting inside a cafe and people coming out from a boutique. This place appears to be something that came out straight from a medieval fantasy novel, which she usually read during her free time. "Milady, are you alright?" A woman's voice suddenly spoke to her. "Huh?" Sid turned her face to her right and saw a woman with short brown hair looking at her worriedly. Then an unknown lady is wearing a nice green colored dress with a small hat shading her from the sun. "Are you feeling dizzy? The heat must be getting to you, milady. Shall we head back to the state now, so you can rest?" "Uh, yes?" "Then, please wait here milady. I shall call the carriage for us. Sir knight, p

"What are you thinking?" Mathieu asked while looking at Sid. They're currently on the school's rooftop, eating their lunch which composes of burgers and apple juice, along with some sweets that he bought for Sid. "If you were given a chance to live in a fantasy world, what would you like to become?" "That's so random," He laughed, "Hm. . . I think I would like to become a mage." "Why, Mage?" "Well, isn't it cool to do magic and to have the power of teleportation, producing lightning bolts or shooting a water ball," He answered while copying the gestures of anime characters, "Pew, pew, pew!" "Pfft–!" "Haha!" "I thought you're going to say, Hero." "Oh, that's good too! Heroes are strong and good at swordsmanship. I'll be willing to become a hero, as long as you become a Saint so that I can protect you!" I looked at him ridiculously. Me, a Saint? Just imagining myself as a Saint takes a toll on my lifespan. Becoming a saint is so tiring, I'm not someone like Mathieu who has goo

Sid decided to go to school early to go to the library. She didn't manage to do a single homework last night, because after she ate dinner and went to her room, she immediately fell asleep. "Yes! Finally, I'm done." She leaned back on her chair and sighed with relief. "Here, this is the last one," Mathieu said, pushing the book and the paper containing her homework. She immediately took them and organized them properly before putting them away inside her backpack. "Thanks for helping me with my homework, Mathy. I might not be able to finish all of this if you didn't give me a hand." "No worries. I'm happy to help," He chuckled and ruffled her hair. "By the way, how was your job hunting yesterday?" "Mmn, well. . .I got rejected at first, but thankfully after trying for the fifth time, I managed to get a job at the ramen shop." I said smiling widely at him. Mathieu looks at me with proud eyes, as he lightly laughs while patting my head. "I knew it! Well done Sid." "Mn. Thanks.
