The next morning which was a Tuesday everyone where in class as if nothing ever happened, they did not take their classes together but there was one class they all took together, it is a class called intuitive art, which is a class that you're learn to make art and I can see why they like it, here you can do whatever you want without judgment.

Anyway right after Axell left Physiology 101 he headed toward the intuitive class, when he got there he got in the locker room, changed, and then he put on more formal clothes covering his body so he did not get dirty the he entered the classroom.

"Okay, morning to you all. I can see every single one of you is confused and started asking yourself why are the blindfolds for? - so to answer your questions, they are here because we are going to try something new"

"I'm going to give you guys a model to touch while being blindfolded and then I'm going to provide you with enough material so you're going to try the same as the sculpt you just touched this is called SWS - sculpture without sight" stated Miss Cynthia

"Okay now, gather into a group of ten, get ready and I let you know when to put the blindfold on"

As soon as they heard that they all tried to get into the same group as Axell as fast as they could, and all 6 of them. At first, Ethan saw them running to get with him, including Marty he even pushed a random guy and told him to.

"Fuck off"

He hesitated at first but then he realized that he wanna know more about what was going on he stood up and started to rush so he wouldn't leave behind.

Axell looks at them sitting around him he pretends that he doesn't know what is going on, he does not open his mouth to say a word he just stays calm.

A few minutes later one of them finished by addressing what was going on.

"Okay, I hate to be the first one to break it but aren't you guys going to talk about what is happening to us" Marty rambled looking straight at Axell

"Why are you looking at me while saying it? I thought you guys thought I was crazy when I said I felt like it was real?"

"First of all, we -I did not think you were crazy-"

"As you should cause you are supposed to be my best friend, you supposed to have my back" Axell interrupted him by saying

"Right, anyway I thought we were high until you made Mama Leah confess that we weren't which I still can't digest" continued Leo

"So are we supposed to have power, that's what she was trying to say, right?" asked Ethan out loud and everyone's eyes turned to them

"Sushh Ethan, not so loud" they all repeated together

"Okay, okay, I did not know that it was supposed to be a secret"

"It is now since we are the only ones showing signs of this, we don't want them to be jealous of us, do we?" signaling Ludmilla while Leo is translating for Ethan

"We can't be the only one since she stated all of the children in here showed cues that indicated we all are the talented ones and that is exactly why we are here" barked Olivia

"That's not how it's worked, though not all people showing early symptoms of a virus are contaminated"

"So you think it's a sickness instead of a gift? -Interesting!!!"

"Wait, I never said that Olivia, I just wanted to make a point" exclaimed Axell

"Yeah, a point that showed us being contaminated by a virus"

"That's not what he said Jigxie don't put words into his mouth" Confronted Leo

"Okay, whatever -if this is how I made you see it so be it, it's not like it's any different - what kind of people can't sleep at night to live a double life?"

"Ah- Rougarou, werewolf, Rokurokubi, bats"

"Ew Marty that is even worse" barked Jigxie

"That was a few suggestions it's not like that's what we are, is it?"

Ludmilla quit drawing on her iPad for a second to respond to Marty's vulgar assumptions.

"No Marty, that's not what we are or what we are going to stumble upon but more like paralysis demon, succubus, and more like the creatures we heard from Mama Leah's story"

"How did you know all of this if you don't mind me asking? Are you one of them by any chance? For example, a Succubus those are my favorite please don't suck my blood" Assumed Marty

"Well, if you know what is google perhaps you could have heard of something called research" she stated and then showed them her iPad screen

"And no this is of vampire you're talking of, if I was a succubus I would more likely suck all your cums, leaving you weak or even dead, I'll more likely choose the second option"

Everyone busted out laughing after what they had just seen Ludmilla doing to Marty.

"What do you mean by -" he tried to mimic Loudmilla's sexual move "Hey Miss Cynthia, Ludmilla just said a bad word"

"Well, I did not hear it, Marty"

"She did not exactly say it, she showed it"

"So it does not count"

"That's not fair-"

"Okay, please everyone put on the blindfold, now that we have the clay made out of all elements that came out of the soil in front of you before putting in the work I'm going to give one person of the group a sculpture so they can touch it after they did, they are going to pass it to you and you're going to do the same as well and then you're going to try to copy it by molding the clay make it into your own design without seeing what you are doing, is that clear?"

They nodded

"Okay, ya'll can begin"

She gave every group one sculpture and they began to touch every part of it, in our group was Olivia the chosen one.

"So, Ya'll still haven't answered my question, do we have powers or not?" asked Ethan

"Sort of but it's not real power if we can't even use it in the real world, I will say that we all have a gift that we don't know anything about yet and this is the reason every time we are asleep we keep seeing thing and me seeing that old man in a dojo, I think we are training before going live, did you agree with me Ludmilla?"

She jumped leaving what she was doing, she took some time and then she nodded as a sign of agreement with Axell.

"So you're telling me that I can do medicine which I never liked and remember having a thing for?" added Olivia while she handed the sculpture to Axell

"I can't say it's medicine stuff related but the only way to find out is to take the training thing seriously from now on" continues Axell

"Great, now a gotta keep walking between these giants and I don't even know what are they going to do with me"

"Well, I thought you liked it big so nothing to worry about champ, you are an adult remember, they won't bite" barked Jigxie sarcastically

"Shut up"

"And I -keep running from that granny and her super pet fish"

"I still can't believe you saw that I would be freaking out" exclaimed Ethan

"Instead of running from them, let's just try to go straight to them and embrace them to see what is going to happen," said the voice in Ludmilla's iPod

"Bad idea Leo, that will definitely bite," said Jigxie

"Cool, so what about you Ethan? you never told us exactly what you saw." murmured Leo to the guy right next to him

"Oh me - I told you guys, I keep seeing me in the back of my parent's car and them in the front, my Mom was in the driver's seat. The thing I never told you is that I had autism which the Digital helped me get through - so while I was in the backseat my dad opened the radio and this song began to play, I didn't like it so I began crying and jumping and yelling which got my parents attention and unfortunately not the road they were in, then just like that they leave the road and collided with a three"

"But in my dream, it kept showing me the moment when the song was playing, I tried to call them by their names but nothing, I don't think they even realized that I was here, and then just like that the song kept changing by itself"

The teacher keeps explaining what she wants them to do with the clay while they are not listening to what the teacher is saying but instead, they keep talking to each other.

"This is you, you are the artist and you don't want eyes to do what your brain is trying to show you or trying to communicate with you, feel the dirt under your touch and trace -" explained Cynthia

"Please don't feel that way, if you see something that wasn't there in the first place but you saw it in your dream it's that it's trying to tell you something," said Axell

"Now I will never say that it was your fault or not, I wasn't there so I didn't know what happened and it doesn't matter one thing for sure is that only time will tell" he continues

With these words, Ethan was a bit relieved like that's what he wanted to hear but not like people kept telling him that it wasn't his fault but that of his parents, for him it's doesn't matter which it was since they were dead and he was not, for him that was a form of punishment but Axell just make him see something there, he was worrying about the wrong problem and all he has to do was looking for the simplest answer. Was that what he was about to do? Only time will tell.

He took a deep breath let it out and then began shaping the sculpture in front of him.

A few hours later.

Day 1 of trying to figure things out.

They each got into their room, dived into their bed, and then transitioned to another world.

"Hey, old man I know that you are trying to teach me something but I will never learn if you keep kicking my ass like this so please don't do that again"

"Or what Axell?"

"Or else we're going to have a problem"

He looks at Axell and Axell looks at him and the two of them begin to laugh.

"This is the Axell I want to see from now on, devoted, enthusiastic about something cause believe me we are here for an important matter, not a game"

"And please don't ever call me like that, I can be around the same age as you in the real world, you'll never know" Frank stated

"Well for that you are going to have to earn it"

He scoffs while asking "What?"

"Yes, instead of me trying to hit you, you'll going to try to catch me - and without your power this time"

He Laugh

"too bad I don't have any power what do you mean?"

"Quit playing now old man, I felt a force push me and slam me on the wall the other time, and when I turned I saw both of your hands leaning towards me just before I got slammed once again if that wasn't power what was it?"

"That was the light force of the dream realm, we got it from the core, every soldier acquired that force once they learned about and saw with their own eyes what are they up against and down to fight but you young travelers, you are the ones who hold the real powers, some of you tho not all"

"Hold up, hold up - please - slow down, what are you guys up against again and are you a soldier of the dream realm?"

"Young body, we are against a thing once we weren't worried about cause it was once two worlds that lived in harmony, we used to transition from time to time leaving the dream realm to visit them and they visit us, we called it the Smaerd"

"And then something happened when they came they weren't here to visit us anymore but invading us and when people transitioned to the Smaerd they never came back or the one that came back came out badly injured or different which made us scared to ever go back there and now starting to fight for our life and for the people who can't, we create corps like you guys have the police corps and the army to protect you in the real world so yeah we have them here as well except that they are united into one big since we lost so many of them and which I'm the general and in the head of "

"So if I'm not wrong you are now talking about the dream realm and the nightmare realm but instead of calling it a nightmare realm, you give it another name, am I right?"

"Yes"

"But what does it sound so much like it's in My head?"

"Cause it is, unlike dreaming which is the fact that your soul projects to another world but a nightmare is when the body is not happy with the soul living the body and transitioning to that happy moment so the body uses the head to project all that was happening in your daily life, all the stress, such as a problem at home and school, the lost of a loved one so the head use all these frustrations and project them to somewhere we called the reflection zone and the reflection zone project it to the Smaerd which then pulled you from that happy moment and then turn it into a nightmare"

He shook his head and then proceeded to say "A place that I once loved for its truthness but unfortunately, it now turns into the main gate for them"

"I got so many questions" he whispered

"Oh yeah, you've got to earn the answers by training and if you make any progress I'll let you ask 6 questions In a session- now shall we begin the training young man?"

"Whenever you are ready Grandpa"

"You don't call me that" he screamed out of anger and then started running after him.

Day 2

While The children were in the dream realm trying to figure out how things work here, they now knew that they could be in control of their dream, it seemed a little bit weird for them but after their little chat with Leah, and also after their little reunion, they are now trying to embrace what was known to be a theory is now known to be a reality.

At first, it all sounds dangerous because as soon as they put their head on their pillow, unknown creatures kept appearing in their dreams and following them wherever they went, they kept seeing surreal stuff and being through challenges and all they did was run away from them but what if they stand their ground and fight back or stay calm and listening, what's going to happen?

Is that going to prove that the people of the dream realm's prophecy going to be realized?

Are they the talented ones or is it just a sign that this prophecy is not yet to be realized, not now, not anytime soon but believe it or not, it will.

The once city, where the outside was mostly covered with yellow sands and in the middle there were tall buildings with different shapes that almost looked like England's historic buildings and homes but with a little bit of Greek architecture with golden ceilings with a bunch of statues of angels, gods, and myths so many people hand putting together so it can look like something like the main bridge to get to the central city, where the sky was blue and some weird white shaped things like cotton, where the yellow son reflected the golden ceiling and made the city looks like a golden city.

And then in a blink, after I opened my eyes suddenly the sky turned red, it was raining fire and bellow the sky was chaos, the people of the city tried to fight just so they could go back down, bow before the creature floating in the sky unbothered with solid tentacled black hair that can reach whatever it wants to, red eyes.

Its presence was so terrifying it made the strong and brave villagers and soldiers shake, the fear in their eyes made me start to wonder about our existence.

What is the reason for us being created like this, so little without any skills, nothing to defend ourselves, if these beings kept appearing like this and made of feel like ants, it is not fair, we shouldn't have ever been made.

All of a sudden a lightning bolt strikes and then everything changes, people regain the strength that was drained from them, and the fear is still here but they cage it and let hope get the upper hand.

Was I wrong? What was the reason for this sudden change? What can make these people who were so little as ants become as fearless as lions and become as big as an elephant?

"it's him" The Voice right next to me affirmed

And then when I looked to see who was this, I was surprised to see that it was a little boy and he was pointing at something in the sky when I looked at what he was trying to show me, I was surprised to see him fly up to the dark creature started glowing and he stood up for the people.

Once again I ask myself was I wrong? Does that justify our presence?

I think so cause we are bigger than we think, whenever there's Fear there's always will be confidence, calmness, faith, and hope.

The little one grabbed my hand and this time pointed lower to show me something else.

"It's them" Then he points at himself and me and continues "It's us"

As soon as I was trying to look and see what he was trying to show me that voice behind me spooked me and then said.

"What are you doing here? This is not your time yet"

I flinched and started turning my head slowly to see who was it but he immediately said something else like "Run little girl"

And after that it all becomes black.

Day 3

"I'll give you that you are fast as hell, young man"

"I guess that this is my superpower then, being fast" suggested Axell

"Not quite since I finished by touching you-"

"But-"

"There's no but, you've still got a lot to learn and figure out. Being fast is indeed going to be helpful but believe me you gotta do more than that"

Frank put the towel he was using to make his face dry on top of a pile of rocks and then proceeded to take off his taekwondo black dobok top also put it on the rocks piles as well and then pushed it out of existence leaving him to show off his well-shaped abs

"Wait how did you do that? created things that weren't here and pushed them out of existence? Is it with the light force of the dream core?"

"Like, what is this room why is it empty?" added Axell

Frank put one foot on top of his knees which left him standing with one foot, he proceeded by stretching out his harm and pulling them in front of him like he was letting air in but instead, he put both of his palms together like he was praying and then he shut his eyes.

"That my child is a place outside of the city on top of the tallest mountain called the Daujho, it's spelled D A U J H O instead of D O J O, and it not only serves for the training of old legends like Witches, Gigantic beats, Traveler healers, Watchers or also known as observers or spotters, soldiers of the dream realm, Dream keepers and Creators also know as Callers and so many more old legends and the new who has to come but it also serves as a temple to pray so if you paying attention and focus I believe you'll be able to do this as well" he explained

"Now which one am I between all of this?" Barked Axell

"What about you figure it out yourself - now try to hit me and use your speed this time"

He ran towards him landing a punch which Frank blocked easily without breaking position, Axell saw that, and he ran up to him swinging once again but without success.

He got dropped over and over but he never gave up, he stood up, men up every single time.

He tried every single angle, he tried to hit him on his left, he tried to blow him on his right, he swang on his back but still nothing, they were going for hours, and Axell was soaked with sweat, his white t-shirt become heavy just because he was so wet and then it transition to him laying on his bed in the orphanage with Leah and Devonte looking down at him still as wet as he was in the dream even wetter.

There were also cameras pointing at them people taking notes on notebooks and others tapping on their iPods and computers, registering audio.

"Do you think he's okay? He sweated so much we could've removed 2 buckets of water from him if we wanted to" asked Devonte

"In my opinion, he is but we are not taking any risk, calling our doctors" Rambled Leah

One of them left the room and when he came back he brought 3 people with him.

As soon as they saw him lying down on the bed wet, they rushed to get to him and began taking his temperature, checking his heart rate, and blood pressure, and touching him to see if there was any pulse.

"Is he alright?" asked Devonte

"Yes, I checked his vital signs, and for me, everything is fine Right 2?" Barked Doc 1, the woman's doctor who is in charge

"Affirmative" replied Doctor 2

"What about you 3, did you see anything wrong that I don't recall seeing"

"Negative Miss Doc, everything is alright according to me"

"Thank you for ya'll assistance"

"See - but what I can't understand is the reason that makes him sweat like that - are the others like this?" Asked Doctor 1

"No, everyone is sleeping calmly except him" responded Leah

"Watch out Miss Leah, behind you" screamed the boy whom she sent to go call the Doctors who goes by Diego according to his name tag screamed

"You were saying?" Added Doc 1 when they saw Jigxie begin floating up her bed horizontally while she was still asleep.

"I can't believe that it is working," exclaimed Devonte

While in the Daujho, Frank was fighting to hold his position, or should I say Axell was the one fighting while Frank was not even trying.

"It's almost 8 AM I think we should wake them up before the Digital remarks that we are missing and begin questioning," said Doc 1

But Leah did not say a word but just paid attention to the children, putting all her attention on what was going on.

"I think we should thank them for helping the children and send them back as soon as possible" suggested Devonte

"Leah," said Doc 1

But still no answer

"Leah - I'm waking them up now" she continued

"No just give them a few minutes, trust me"

"Okay, it's 5 minutes less before 8 as soon as the 5 minutes pass I'll make her wake them up" added Devonte

And Leah nodded.

Axell stands in his position, taking his time to admire the architecture of the room, he starts to look all around him then he puts his focus on Frank, taking his momentum shuts his gaze runs towards him for the last time, and intriguingly the moment seems to slow down while he was running and then surprisingly skip to where he pulled out a table made out of wood out of existence he jumps on it then made a back flip landing behind frank and the time for frank to turn around and block him it was to late cause he finally succeeded by hitting Frank in the chest, he didn't have time to read and react to his move and with that hit he back down from his position just a little bit and also both of his feet was on the ground, arms open up.

"What the hell, how did I do that?"

Frank smiled and then snapped his fingers "Now wake up"

"Wait, wait, hold on"

But it was too late

**

A door opened for Ethan, he got off the bed and started to head to the door without looking back.

As soon as he stepped inside, the door closed and when he realized that where he was standing there was no ground, his eyes immediately got bigger

"Not again" he whispered

And just like that he began falling into a dark void, everything he tried to do to stop falling seemed to never work, and he kept falling again and again till he woke up.

"No, no, no, fucking hell" yelled Ethan.

"Are you okay? what did you see this time?" Leah asks Ludmilla leaning on her bedside

Ludmilla woke up, sitting on her bed, furious and upset " I can't remember, why can't I remember?"

Then suddenly turn to face Leah.
