"Everything starts with a dream"

Parallel universe, a place full of divinity and surreal wonders, a timeless land of immortal magic which lies beyond the horizon, beyond our reach. A place where we enter or cross through a gateway and find ourselves in an entirely different place.

A 16-year old Geo wakes up from a dream where he was in a magical-fantasy world and became the leader of a country (or was it really a dream? Or a glimpse of the future reality)

His dream was so beautiful that he didn't realize that he was late for school. This is probably the first time he is late, because Geo Reinhardt is a Student Council President, Number 1 student in terms of Academics and Sports and a fashion model but despite this achievement that he is having at such a young age sometimes he feels that something is really missing in his life, everyone feels it too but doesn't know what it is.

The bell rang and everyone went home. Geo is still in the Student Council Room fixing the papers. He was about to finish when he fell asleep all of a sudden. He dreamed again about a Magical-Fantasy world as if it was connected to His dream last night, but this time it feels dark and has a menacing aura. While observing the surroundings that were full of bald mountains and raging lava's a human-like shadow approached him. Geo didn't move and just stared at it until the shadow smiled, and said ---

"You don't belong in that world" in a horror-like voice with a creepy smile.

Geo really feels like what is happening is real, and the shadow got closer to him and this is when Geo ran, He ran as if it was endless. When the shadow suddenly pulled him.

"Ahhhhh?!!" Geo shouted.

"What's happening?! What do you want from me?!"

The shadow smiled and giggles "Kekk-ke-ke-kek"

and it suddenly disappeared. Geo woke up sweating profusely and feeling like he was out of air.

"What kind of dream is that?!" in a tired voice.

He just thought that he just had a nightmare because he was tired fixing the files. He looked at his watch and it was 6:30 PM so he quickly put his things in his bag and he was on his way to the bus terminal while thinking about his weird dream.

"I can't really pinpoint what that means". He sighed.

While waiting for the bus, He saw the shadow in his dream on the other side of the road. He took a step back by surprise and just closed his eyes. After a while he slowly opened it while looking at the other side of the road, but the shadow is gone.

A few minutes later the bus arrived, He immediately got on and sat at the very end of the bus's seat. While reading a book someone approached him.

"Hey , uhm? I've seen you in commercials! By the way, I'm Shia, Shia Dowe"

"Anyway this is my business card, call me"

"I'll be waiting"

He handed it to Geo and he suddenly left, Geo looked at the business card and this is what He saw.

"You don't belong here Mas---"

Before he read it completely he threw it in shock and looked for the person who gave it to him but He quickly disappeared from his sight. He also asked the other passengers if they saw a tall man in black, but they said they didn't see anything. Geo is sweating even though the bus is fully air conditioned, his head hurts thinking about what is happening, but his composure remained.

(10 mins. later) Geo arrived at the house and his Grandpa was waiting at the dining table so they could eat together. After Geo got dressed, he went to the table to eat with his Grandpa.

While eating Geo was quiet and His Grandpa noticed it.

"What's the problem son?, Grandpa said.

Geo just smiled and said--

"No Grandpa, I was just busy at school earlier and other projects"

He only has one Family with Him, His Grandpa (Henry Reinhardt). They have a mini-store which they sell antique materials and Geo helps here in keeping watch to reduce his Grandpa's work.

Geo is an adopted-son/grandson. His Grandpa(Henry) pick him up by the riverside when he was a baby and since then this is what He considered His family. Henry trained Him in sword when He was young that his late wife also taught him and Henry also taught it to Geo so that the lineage of their sword-style(The Flame-Dragon Technique)would not be lost.

Friday night at 7:00 PM, Geo went to the convenience store to buy something to eat. The cashiers and clerk there are so fascinated by the cold look of Geo. They always talk about Him when his around.

"Oh my God! He's here again" cashier 1 said.

"Yes, His dark hair, His dark eyes, His cold look with that black hoodie it really suits Him" cashier 2 said *sighed* smiling while watching Geo leave the store.

After Geo bought food He went straight to their house on foot unaware of what is happening in their house, while walking he seemed to feel something strange around Him and the wind was blowing differently. He just ignored it and continued until he got home and what He found was ..

I never forgot how wonderful it was to watch you grow, your eagerness to explore, and the light in your eyes. I hope that you will find the missing piece in your life that you have been searching.
