As soon as they woke up, what was going on in this room and other rooms as well was unexplainable, everywhere you passed there was a little group talking to each other about what they saw.

Axell got off the bed and began walking like someone high, he couldn't see clearly, just that the room was turning around him and the people were blurry.

He kept going trying to get to the restroom, he stumbled on a group that was next to the restroom fortunately they held him up to prevent him from falling.

Arriving in the restroom, he ran toward the toilet and began to vomit. When he was done he headed toward the sink to wash his face and his mouth to see if he could feel a little bit better but nothing seemed to work, he looked up and straight at the mirror and the way he saw himself was exactly the way he saw the others around him, he put both of his hand on his head and began to rage internally.

A few seconds later when he got out of the restroom he started hearing some weird noises of other people laughing and when he looked to his left and then right he saw that others were feeling the same way as he was at the moment. Between them were Jigxie and Leo and finally he had a little laugh of relief then he asked.

“Are you guys okay?“

“The sleep was good but being awake after that good sleep made me feel some type of way and without adding that I had the Weirdest dream ever” Rambled Leo

“We all had that weird dream, Leo, for a fact it was one of the side effects of the Y-fantasy tablet”

“This is the best feeling ever, finally I can feel like being myself for the first time” added the Emo girl with piercings almost all over her face.

She is always wearing black mascara on her upper lashes, black eyeliner on her lash lining, and dark eye shadow and she uses light lipstick on her lips a natural shade that won't distract from the eye. And down on her hands were rings all over her fingers. But this time her makeup was messy.

On one of her shoulders was tatted a big black and red flower, and then lower on her wrist was a skeleton hand with a twisted sword about to stab something, and then stated 'Sacrifice what you are for what you can become.' one I don't think she ever seen or thinking of doing before.

She has beautiful blue eyes and a black long hair. For her, she never saw herself as beautiful as she is now.

Axell glances at her and then puts his gaze on something else while saying.

“I think we are high guys and this is my first time being high”

They began to laugh and with one and two, three steps towards the door to get into their room the three of them fell.

Some random girl who was about to get in the restroom saw them and began to scream for help. As soon as Devonte got inside and then saw them on the floor, he asked them.

“What happened?“

“I don't know, they were joking and laughing, and then just like that they were on the floor” Exclaimed the random girl.

Without wasting time Devonte called for backup and while they were on their way he approached them, touching them, saying their name out loud, and shaking them to see if someone could wake up and ask them what was happening to them unfortunately no one ever did.

His hand grabbed Jigxie's long sleeve and pulled it up by accident and what he saw, going to shock him. What he saw was the second tattoo that Jigxie never had and then suddenly she has.

The backup came grabbed them and brought them to the emergency room, arriving at the emergency room, he was surprised to see that it wasn't only these three but a couple more children like Olivia, Marty, Ludmilla, and Ethan they all also passed out.

He sees Leah talking with Dr.Mech on the other side of the room then he approaches them.

“This is exactly how it was supposed to go, something unexpected happened but that happened right? We aren't perfect and I know what might be the cause of that.“ barked Dr. Mech

“What is it then?” Asked Leah

“We put a little bit more amount of cannabinoids instead of the exact amount we should have, very harmless they just hang over for now, and nothing dangerous going to happen to them I promise”

“Hey, Leah can I talk to you for a second?“ demanded Devonte

And then Leah asks Mech to take care of them and she'll be back. She walks to him and gets ready for what he is about to say.

“How are they going? Is everything okay?“

“Yes, nothing to worry about Devon, I — I mean he got it under control”

“Okay, I'm glad to hear that but did you also hear them talking about their dreams, they said that it wasn't a dream cause it looked very real to them?“

“Yes Devonte, I heard but Dr. Mech said that just before he gave the tablet to them, he said that they would see things, things they have never seen before but it was just part of the side effects of the Y-Fantasy nothing else”

“Yeah, I remembered but except that, I saw something on Jigxie today, a tattoo and it looks very suspicious to me”

“What are you talking about? She had always had a tattoo. I was the one who drove her to get her first tattoo.“

“True but not this one, come with me”

She did as he said which was following him to Jigxie's bed and then when they were near enough he pulled up her sleep to show her. With the look on her face, she was surprised, indeed.

“Right, I got the same look when I first saw it”

“Impossible, how did that happen?“

“Leah, you know exactly what is happening — it is happening and we knew that which was the reason why we built that Orphanage so now don't just stay here letting the Digital steal this important discovery — your idea, the one that we put so much effort into — don't just lose hope by the fact you thought it was supposed to happen long before now that it's too late”

“You keep saying that like it's not already too late” she yelled

“Come on now wake up, and explain this” he yelled back

Every eye was on them for some time then he calmed down to say.

“Explain this, why it's only these 7 going through those side effects? like Mech keeps saying, Whyn't everyone else? cause they all took the same thing even me, and I'm still fine”

“No, you didn't?“

“Yes I did cause I couldn't sleep either don't tell me that it's been past two days and you didn't remark that I was missing”

Leah looked at him in the eyes but she did not say a word then he scoffed.

“it doesn't matter anyway, what I want you to see is that we were wrong on all of them being the ones but not one hundred percent wrong, these 7 are the real talented ones, can't you see…don't just stay here letting them figure out what's going on and stole everything”

“How come we didn't get to the 7th one before them?“ she asked

“Because we stopped looking and this one began to show signs late, maybe that's what active them now — now that he is finally showing signs”

She dropped her head forward and put a hand on her face to say.

“Fuck how can I not see that he is a retarder, he was the one holding them back”

“Yes finally, Leah”

She grabbed her iPad and began tapping and then she said

“I'll be right back”

While they were unconscious in the real world at the same time they were dreaming of some surreal stuff that they had never imagined doing even in a dream.

Leo was in a forest out of breath and began to run for his life, like something was following him, he suddenly stopped to take a break with both hands leaning against his upper knees while looking back.

A few seconds later something made a weird noise behind a bush a few miles in front of him, he jumped and started to look at the bushes over and over again, trying to see if something would get out and freak him out but nothing happened, instead, it keeps making that same noise but louder which make him don't want to stay here any longer to figure it out so he began to run away, as soon as he is far from where he was the thing finally came out, you'll be surprised to see that it was just an Iguana.

It came out smelling something in the ground and then began eating it and for Leo, he was long long gone.

In Jigxie's dream, she saw herself washing herself in a lake, the water was so clean, and the moon was so bright.

She swam and came right back up, she began showing the most adorable smile ever, showing all her teeth, so white and bright, shining like a diamond.

She swam once again but this time it took a while for her head to pop back up eventually she did, and she started by touching her hair, pulling it so the water could come out. She glanced up looking at the sky and the beautiful stars she was very happy.

One moment later while she was still observing the moon and the stars plus the weird-shaped cloud and then in the water things started to change, she wasn't the only one in the water as she thought cause these things began to swim around her.

Their faces were like skeletons, with long ears like elves, their hair was floating, and with a big bright white color with big torsos and down their lower body looking like fish

She took time to remark what was going on but as soon as she laid eyes on the water she saw them and began running away, trying to get out of the water.

When she succeeded in doing so, she was standing a bit far from the water to take a better look at them, and just like that she began to hear some unpleasant whispers coming out of the water. She put both of her hands on his ears but the harder she did it the louder the whispers got, it was so loud that she couldn't no more she just collapsed on the ground.

On Ludmilla's side, she was just jumping from one dream to another, and each one was way different than the other, she couldn't see or come up with a way of connecting them.

One of them was people getting on top of one another, Women with clothes on and others naked, same with the males, children. They were trying to get higher like they were trying to make a ladder out of them for the next person to climb on top trying to reach something but every time they were about to reach it something happened and some of them began falling and screaming, again and again, it was going for a while like this but as soon the last person was close to reaching it, the closest they have ever gotten she tries to look up to see what was the thing they were trying to reach out to and just like that she jumps from another one and did not fully see what was it.

In the other dream, a village was on fire, and people were screaming with their bodies ignited while running away, she could hear the unpleasant crying of babies, children, and mothers, fire was everywhere, and she was in the middle of all of this mess, when she keeps turning around again and again till her eyes catch that creepy looking shadow on the ground, the time for her to look up and see who was it she jump to another.

The next one was someone yelling but with such power that disintegrated all the people around her except for Ludmilla. She uses that to her advantage and begins going the opposite way as everyone else is going, looking like almost they are trying to escape, but still, she does not care her priority is to see who was that person with such a powerful voice causing all of this.

On her way, she struggles but she never gives up till she is close enough to the person who is causing all of this, the person senses her presence, and she stops yelling the energy is still here and stronger than ever. Ludmilla was coming on her back as soon as she felt like the person sensed her she stopped walking towards her.

She stays still as a statue and after a few minutes pass she sees that the other person isn't doing anything about that so she tries making another step and as soon she makes the step, the person who was sitting on the ground turns and face her quickly she was crying blood but her face was blurry so she couldn't see who was she.

The woman with such a powerful voice finally breaks the silence once again to say something and what she says is just Ludmilla's name with a relieved face she immediately stops crying

“Ludmilla!!!”

And just like that Ludmilla woke up from the dream.

As Marty wasn't dreaming of anything that exciting but feel a lot more excited for him indeed.

He sees himself walking naked in the middle of a load of giant women and women only and when he stops looking at these beautiful and giant girls around him, he simply puts his gaze off them but now on the prize which is a normal-size woman sitting on a big throne wearing a crown made of purple fire and she was making him sign with her finger to keep going.

As for Axell, it was the usual, he kept seeing himself training in a dojo by the same guy who identified himself, to be Frank from the same story Mama Leah read them yesterday night or as he thought.

“Again Axell, try to hit me — again”

He ran up to him throwing a punch but Frank blocked it and as a response, he simply pushed him with his shoulder and Axell flew crashing into the wall.

“Again”

“No, that's it I know I can't beat you so why keep trying?“

“Again”

“You know what give me the reason for all of this and I'll keep going if not I'm out” Axell Rambled

“You'll find the reason soon enough by yourself and all you have to do is keep going, young man”

“What is the purpose of a master who never answers questions?“ He asked

But the master did not answer

He scoffs and continues “You are not a master to me, you're just an imposter, I'm out”

“Don't turn your back on me young man” says the master while doing something with his hand and without touching him, Axell flees and crashes into the wall.

He stood up immediately, confused and curious trying to come toward the master while asking.

“How'd you do that?“

Without a word, he did the same thing again which took him to the air again and knocked him out immediately.

So does Olivia she wasn't seeing much only being in a war trying to take care of hurting people.

All of a sudden they all wake up at the same time seeing Devonte and Mama Leah sitting in front of their bed looking at them strangely and with a look, they could describe as proud.

“Can anyone tell me what is going on” asked Leah

“I think that the thing is messing with our head and now I'm scared to go back to sleep” exclaimed Jigxie

“Okay relax, we're just high, and when you are high that's exactly what's happened so it's going to pass” added Marty

“Okay, no this is not because of Y-Fantasy I think that what we are experiencing right now is very real”

“Okay, please elaborate Axell what's made you think that,” said Leah with a curious face

“Well, I don't know — I just feel like that— okay am I the only one who feels like that it's real?“

“I've been doing things in my dreams things I have never done before in my entire life, which was being a female doctor”

“So do I, things I've never seen before like a bunch of giant women 10 ft tall that's why I said it just because we are under the influence of the Y-Fantasy” continues Marty

“What about you Ethan why are you so quiet?“ sigh Devonte

“Me — I— I did see nothing that I didn't know already, I kept seeing the accident in a loop, trying to tell me something like I didn't know that it was my fault already”

“No Ethan don't say that. Look I don't know you very well but know that I will, one thing for sure is that everything happens for a reason, you don't have to feel responsible for anything”

He scoffs “But still they are dead and I'm not so yes it's my fault”

“Can a fish be casually walking in a forest?“

“No, why would you ask Leo?“

“Listen I saw an old lady in a forest walking her pet fish floating in the air with glowing eyes and it was scary as hell”

Everyone's eyes were on Leo after hearing this, which appears to be confusing for him cause he didn't know what was happening, what with the long faces, they looked dead serious. They were like that for a minute and then they immediately began laughing.

“What? What so funny?“

“You're so fucking dumb” murmured Marty

“Okay so that settles everything then it was the Y-fantasy talking, it's not real”

Axell was holding it back and didn't want to tell them the truth and freak out but if that's what it takes so be it, he was ready to risk everything.

“Okay, look — right after I took the pill, I slept and I began to have a weird dream so that means it worked and then I woke up everyone around me was talking about having a weird dream, that was the pill's side effects right?“

Everyone nodded

“I remembered I was in the restroom with Jig and Leo, that's the last thing I remember—”

“Same” added Jigxie and Leo

“I found you guys passed out on the floor but now everything is okay” confirmed Devonte

“Okay? You called that being okay?“ he scoffed

“After that, I went back to the same dream, the way I left it. It was that guy in a dojo telling me that he was waiting for us, that we were part of something greater — he said that we have talents”

After hearing the word Talent like they were saying earlier Leah looks at Devonte and then Devante looks at her back and then Axell keeps going.

“Just like the story you were telling us, Mama Leah, last night remember? The talented kids that went to the dream realm?“

“Yes I remember Axell and I am afraid that it's been past 2 days now — what's your point?“

“What? Past 2 days?“ signaled Ludmilla

“Hold on —what day is today is it not Saturday?“

“No this is Monday night Olivia, you've been sleeping for 2 days” exclaimed Devonte

“Fuck” cursed Marty

“Marty — Please Axell keep speaking cause I'm curious”

“Yeah, remember when you asked me the other day when you asked me about your story if I think it was real I said I don't think it was real or fake but I think it was just a warning— I guess I was right cause the moment I try to walk away from him he pushes me with such a force without touching me, I flew and crashed on the wall twice. It hurt so bad that I bled in the dream and then when I woke up I saw this”

Then he showed them the scratches on his lower back and another one on his shoulder.

“I still think that you got these when you passed out in the restroom Axell and then your mind played you tricks by showing you that it was in the dream that you got them from” suggested Devonte

“I'll take that theory but why it's only me why not Olivia, Marty, or Ludmilla for example they are all passed out as well, right?“

“Yes but still that doesn't mean that the dream was real” protested Devonte once again

“Mister Devonte I love you but now quit with the bullshit and let Madame Leah answer herself cause it's either she is hiding something or not telling the truth cause why did the guy who is pretending to be my master call himself Frank De Baltazar, huh?“

Everyone in the room was stunned after hearing that name and Leah's eyes widened.

“Yes, the same guy in your story who was Messa's husband, that's my point. Now who told you about that story and is there something you're not telling us? cause I'm fucking tired of people thinking that I am being paranoid over nothing when something is going on but they are too blinded to see that”

She immediately dropped the act right after Axell called her out. She took a deep breath and then smiled.

“Okay, okay, no need to go all out for no reason Axell, that's what I was waiting for you to do but you're going to need that same energy later on”

“What are you talking about?“ asked Olivia

“Olivia, I'm about you tell the truth now — first of all I am a scientist who heard that from my parents who once heard it from their grandparents back in Australia and I can tell you that everyone in Australia knows that story by heart and they all think that it is a fairy tale but until that one event happened in the blue valley in USA in 1955 where some people fell in a deep sleep, there were others who woke up but not fully awake, people saying that they saw things that try to take out their eyes while dreaming and when they woke up with their eyes burning, bleeding there were some who even become blind because of that it was a big catastrophe back in that time” explained Leah

“I heard that story before,”

“Yes Marty everyone has and if you haven't you need to go search about it and see for yourself” added Devonte

“My parents used to tell me that story cause I was more fan of horror stories when I was little”

“Glad to hear Ethan. The thing is a few years later Jefferson Luthor was among the people who experienced that but managed to get out of all of this safely without falling into a coma later in 1989 we had an interview with him where he was hospitalized and he told us about the talented ones, saying that they were going to be from this world but going to acquire some talent at night while dreaming, to save both the real world and the dream real from the bad things that are coming for us all— he even gave us the early sign to look from a child to see if they are the talented one” explained Devonte

“So after so many searches, I found a bunch of children who showed some of these signs but most of you guys were adopted or being orphans in an orphanage so I talked to my best friend over here, Devonte who likes children so much since he used to take care of his siblings and his neighbor's children so he knows how to deal with you guys and I convinced him to build this orphanage and began to look for every single one of you and adopted you as my children to help me to continue my study about the dream realm. So turns out now you guys are the talented ones and also the ones who are going to make my dream come true to prove to the haters that my search was real — such thing as a dream world does exist and I intend to give them proof in doing so”

The children started to look at each other with confused looks on their faces, trying to process what just happened.
