3rd Log: Dreams inside the Dreamlands


As she was falling, different colorful images draw in a childish manner were seen on the walls.
Surprised that she survived the great fall, she had landed over a great flower.
Encountering an enigmatic scarecrow in the middle of a small pound, wearing a 
weird colorful mask. The floating scarecrow started to shack off its head in an unusual 
way while it was laughing at her in a creepy tone. 

Suddenly the cavern became pitch black and wooden creatures with a large snout, 
started to come close to her. Unable to cast any spell in self defense, she ran away 
from the horde of hostile monsters, soon she was chased by a great nose-like mouth 
until it catch up with her. Once she opened her eyes, she saw her reflection 
on the small pound. A wooden creature with a long nose dress in green, stared back at her.

Lyris woke up screaming with sweat all over her face, she took a moment to calm herself down. 
It was still late at night and a nearby calendar, marked on the second week of march.
Another sense of dread came down her spine, she had missed the final tests.
The door of the infirmary opened up, a dark skinned nurse covered from head to toes in 
bandages came to her aid in a hasty rush. 

Mira Naigus: “What is wrong Lyris? Did you saw the killer?”

LYRIS: “I’m… sorry teacher. I didn’t but...”

Mira Naigus: “But… what is it girl?, speak up or else I can’t help you out.”

LYRIS: “Teacher... please don’t laugh at me...
I had a dream like those described by the dreamers... well more like a nightmare.”

The mummy nurse tried to contain her laugh as best as she could before double checking 
her patient head. After her examination she had to remind her that dying hallucinations 
aren’t real dreams, plus all dreamlanders know they can’t dream like those in the waking worlds.

Sulking after receiving an improvised lecture by one of her teachers, Lyris changed 
the subject to address the current date, more importantly her missing marks on her final tests.
Her teacher reassure her that given her current situation, she had been given a special 
privilege of freely choosing her ‘Vocation’ among the 3 available paths: Meister, Enchanter 
or Dreamkeeper. Telling her, they need to hear her choice before the upcoming holidays.

LYRIS: “What happened to Shizuka, is she alright?”

Mira Naigus: “No one knows... she has been missing since that day.”

  1 st Log: Vigilo Confido A pillar of light raised up from the ocean floor, enveloping the moon surface. Four craters were aligned in a soft arc, between them a mountain raised itself and bellow a grand canyon was formed on the fly. The moon now had a wicked face, its pale light started to shine on the world. Those unfortunate witness became twisted beyond recognition, morphing into mindless monsters of flesh and gore, ravaging themselves against their former comrades. The flying fortress was no exception, its crew turned against 6 youth who had the Outsider blessing. The leader dress in a detective garb gave an order to his 5 partners, their eyes showed no hesitation when they hear the merciless directive, only answering in a military salute. Against all odds, they manage to take back control of the vessel. This long night was over but soon after, the light of the sun was obscured by the MIST from the sea. The ground became infected by coral reef mixed up with some weird fungus,...

  3rd Log: Phoenix Rising A shinny glow came from a white tree at the center of the fortified walls. Upon one man request all soldiers raised up their weapons, towards the six  young ladies that came out of nowhere. A yellow skinned teenager moved into the fray,  shouting at one of the soldiers with a phoenix wings logo on their uniforms. Olena Kim: “Pete you oaf!, how many times I had to tell you they are immune to the virus.” Pete: “They themselves said they had better antibodies, not immune.  If they ever get infected...” Freesia: “We’ll die and turn to dust, end of the story. My team needs some rest.  Olena... could you show us the way to Sophia?. We’ve a report to make.” A small escort of soldiers guided the young maidens with similar light  green hair inside a well fortified building once used for oil storage,  repurposed as a command center. Some screams and some steel noises  could be heard from a far, as they walked a long corridor. ...

  1 st Log: The Night of Failure The moon was on full display tonight, but few bellow could see its hidden face. A boy dress in green along with his two flying lights was running across the town. The carnival proceed per usual with food stands, street performers and joyful cries. Folks wearing all kind of masks, some were simple others of higher quality. Ever since the boy first arrived in this weird place, he couldn’t shake off the feeling in his heart of seeing familiar faces behaving different, compared to the people he once meet before. His journey in this strange land served as a reminder, even a child can be brave as a hero. All preparations were in place, tonight was meant to break the current time loop. His eyes caught a glimpse of an unusual red mask in a dark alley. The boy froze in place for a second, adopting a defensive stance against an empty corner. Looking around the surrounding inhabitants, he couldn’t feel any ill intent. Time was running out, the green child dis...
