Chapter 18: Meeting Dreams.

Dez Ethan and Suki stood in front of a silver-white door.

The door had hundreds if not thousands of seals on it.

"Raisel, is Dream sealed in there?"

"She is in there alright, but those runes are not for sealing her but for protecting us."

"For... Us?"

"Dream's presence alone creates a phenomenon that causes strong drowsiness in everyone around the area. "

"If not for those runes, everything that comes close to this area will fall into a deep sleep until they die. Only those who are stronger than her can resist her sleep-inducing aura."

"She also likes to play and create with her ability, once you get inside you will see."

"And how are we going to interact with her if that is the case?"

"Do not worry master Dez, The master's crest will help with that."

Turning around and looking at his friends Dez asked. "Are we ready to go inside?"

"Yes!"

"Sure!"

Said Suki and Ethan in unison.

Entering inside Dez, Ethan, and Suki stood at the foot of a mountain so big it seemed it was holding up the heavens. Coiling around the mountain were rings of nebula clouds.

Up above and far away in the sky were all types and forms of colorful worlds hanging above.

They look far away but at the same time just a reach away.

They stood on a crystalline clear floor like a mirror. When they looked down, they saw Galaxies on their feed.

Looking down into the galaxies the kids saw something moving. The thing that was moving was as big as the galaxies themselves.

It looked like a ram.

It had silver and gold horns with a metallic face. The center of its body seems to be made of blue and purple cosmic energy. With metallic, silver, and gold legs. In the center of this galactic ram's body, Dez saw a white hole. And between these majestic rams horns, he saw a black hole.

This ram surpasses Dez's knowledge he never saw or even heard of a being like this before. This ram just passed beneath his feet and went on his way like a shooting star.

Like that they saw more than one galactic beast moving in space. Everything they saw was so amazing, so memorizing, it was so mind-blowing!

It didn't take long before a presence came and everything in front of them changed.

Starlights swirl around them. Everything started to turn into light particles.

Those lights came together and formed a beautiful face. The face of a female. A face made of light particles so large it covers their whole view.

No matter how you look at it, this face was uniquely gorgeous. A face that seems to be sleeping like an angelic baby. It looks so real you wish you could touch it.

The surrounding of this face looked like it was out of this world. They could see stars and beautiful nebula formations moving about.

Looking at the humanoid face Raisel spoke.

“This is Dream.”

“She is always sleeping but can interact with others while she is in this state.”

After everything they saw Dez, Ethan and Suki felt more than amazed.

Why?

"because everything around them felt so real. Like they were indeed in outer space, spacewalking on Galaxies. They could even interact with what was around them like it was totally real.

“This is a dreamscape domain Dream created.”

Dez stretched his hand and took what looked like a flaming red hot ball in his hand. But it did not burn him at all. He felt a gentle warm energy surrounding his hand.

"What you experience here is totally real.

If something let's say cut you in here when you leave you will still have that cut.

But if you take something out of this place it will fade away onto nothing. "

Ethan and Suki were not stupid they clearly knew they were in front of a very powerful being. At first, they thought of it as a very strong illusion. But Raisel just said everything was real.

Raisel what is this place? Asked Dez

" This place is an imaginary reality.”

“This space changes depending on her mood. So every time you come here you may see something different.”

Raisel looked at the floating female face with love and care. She has been with Dream for a very long time. And has built a good relationship with her even though Dream was not a soul companion of Emperor Kaihen.

“Dream, master wants you to look after these kids. I hope you could share some beneficial experiences that will benefit their future development.”

And mentally spoke.

“Look into that girl’s heart for us, look if she has any evil intention approaching the young master. Or the empire.”

A childish voice of a little girl echoed in the whole world.

“When will the master come and visit me again?”

“I’m not sure about that Dream, why don’t you visit the master in his Dreams?”

Dreams have the ability to leave a mark on someone and she could find them whenever she wishes to visit them in their dreams.

Other than that she walks the Dream-world and visits others' dreams. And sometimes she even takes a shape she likes to interact with others.

Still, she feels lonely sometimes. Children who she used to play with became adults and do not play with her anymore. Friends she made no longer dream the same dreams. And for most, after they started to grow in power they would rarely ever need sleep.

“But master never sleeps these days.” Dream did try on numerous times but Kaihen barely closed his eyes these days.

“I guess he will come as soon as he has some free time.” This is also part of Emperor Kaihen's character. When he focuses on his experiment he sometimes forgets about time. And even about others.

“But the master sent you his son.

He wishes you would come to like him, and become friends if you wish.”

“ The Young Master?” that young angelic face actually moved at that moment and “looked” in the direction of Dez.

“Yes. The young master. Master's son.”

"Is he really master son?"

"Well yes, he is."

Light particles came and around Dez moving all around his body like they were hugging him.

"Dream feels that the master son is very Very VERY weak."

"Does not feel like a master at all."

Dez's heart and pride broke into a million pieces.

Every word she spoke stabbed him like a flaming sword into his ice-cold pride.

"Everybody has a different feeling, he's just a youngling but he is the master's son. He has not stepped on the path of power yet."

"I'm sure one day he will be as strong or even stronger than master."

Surprise and shock appeared on Dream's face when she heard those words.

Using her soul energy she silently spoke to Dez.

"Are you still not tempted to select Deam for your first integration master Dez?"

Dez indeed was really tempted now but he did not speak a word.

At this moment the world changed into beautiful splendid colors. Without realizing it everybody was riding a cloud that later descended to a valley full of roses.

Suki at this moment felt a sense of awe but even more fear.

First, she met Ningning. Clearly, a high-Class high-rank support could even be a special type of humanoid shaped beast.

Suki was sure she was an insect-type beast of the wind and light elements. Specializing in buffs, protection, and blessings, maybe even healing she was not sure of that last part but what she knew was that just her presence alone could start a war.

Then Suki met Raisel.

The first thing she thought was that Raisel gave the same type of powerful energy as her father and uncles.

An Emperor rank.

She was stupefied when she saw all her supposed 'servants' being extremely well-refined forest guardians.

It's rare that soul beasts or soul companions have command over underlings and have their own followers. It was rare but not impossible. But the quality of her underlings astonished her.

She also remembered she felt very familiar with that fish inside the lake. It felt familiar but also distant at that time.

later she came to realize that that feeling was the dragon bloodline. But it was a completely different lineage from her dragons.

And now this mysterious Dream, her power was clearly freakish.

Suki felt fear.

Fear that her father may take a step in the wrong direction.

A step that would move this powerful empire against them.

After all she experienced today she felt the urge to warn her father. To at least take into consideration what she saw today.

Putting aside her thoughts Suki took in her surroundings.

Those that were present could feel the wind blowing on their bodies. smell the fragrance of nature, of blooming roses, and feel the ground under them like it was just a simple swap of reality. The face that used to be made of light particles changed and now grew from the roses in the valley. It was made of rose stems and leaves. And a rain of rose petals made up her hair.

The voice of a young girl reverberates in this world. “You and your friends can lay down and close your eyes.”

Dez had yet to speak all this time but still, he was not in a hurry to befriend Dreams silently he lay down and closed his eyes. Seeing Dez's actions Suki and Ethan follow him. They also lay there and closed their eyes.

From the face of Dream 3 reddish-pink light fell and landed on the head of each of them.

From the light on their heads Dream energy seeps into their body going deep into their minds. And each of them had a Dream of their own.
