Dylan wakes up in a cold sweat. As it trickles down his forehead, he hisses with the sheer coldness of it.

Another nightmare.

He tries to remember what he saw but no luck. He couldn't remember anything just like all the other nightmares. He knows it's a nightmare because every time he is only left with a feeling of devastation. As if his heart has been torn into pieces, ripped out of his body and then forced him to smile through the pain.

"I wish time had better timing for you and me." The voice still rings in his head like any other previous nightmares. The voice was full of pain and all Dylan wanted was to take that pain away.

But what does it mean? No idea.

He gets out of his bed, stretching a bit. His body seems awfully stiff today. He cracks his bones a little, listening to the sounds and smiles, satisfied. He walks to his familiar bathroom and splashes water on his face. He looks up in the mirror and looks at his red eyes. The nightmare must have been really painful for him to cry in his sleep!

He quickly washes his face as he could hear voices from downstairs indicating everyone is at home. Why so early?

It was 11 a.m!

Shit, he must have overslept! He hurriedly wears his clothes. Even though being a YouTuber means you can go to work at lenient times but they had an interview today. Their YouTube channel had gained popularity but their last video 'Hidden Mysteries of Deltora' was a huge hit, making them famous around the globe.

A news channel wanted to do an interview with the famous 'Mystery Hunt'  YouTube channel and everyone was very excited. But they had to review the rules and regulations for the interview so it had to wait.

He descends the stairs as he sees Noah, Clive, William, Logan, and David noisily eating their breakfast.

"Good morning people, who don't live with us here, except for you Clive." He winks at him. Clive winks back and chuckles.

"What about the interview guys?" Dylan asks as he sits down to eat. Noah places a bowl of cereal in front of him.

"We ain't doing it. The regulations were shit." William says as he chomps down an apple. "Also we have an important guest in the office who, according to Jenny, I will be shocked to see." He wears his coat and kisses Noah to say goodbye.

"Imma leave now for the office then. See you guys there." He goes leaving the door wide open.

"At least close the door you dumbhead!" David shouts with his mouth full of cereal. Noah shoves another spoonful in his mouth to shut him up.

Next are Logan and David to leave for office. Clive keeps his dishes in the sink and wears his coat.

"Uh...I think I am gonna rest in for today." Dylan says stretching a bit.

Noah puts a cup of coffee for Dylan and assures him he doesn't need to worry.

"It's okay little bear. Sleep in for today. We just gave a hit so don't stress much about work." He walks off with his coat.

"Another nightmare huh?" Clive asks Dylan once Noah leaves. He was the only one who knew about his nightmares and Dylan acted a bit suspicious.

Dylan hums in response, sipping his coffee.

"The same one? No memories?"

"Nuh-uh..." he gets up to go to his room, "You go to work. I'll work from home today."

Clive lifts an eyebrow.

"You will look into that Castle of Nale right? Oh god, for the nth time Dylan, there is nothing about it. Even in our last video, we had solved all the mysteries of Deltora except for that castle. For god's sake, it's a lost cause."

Dylan just ignores him and waves goodbye. Castle of Nale has always been his obsession from the start. Maybe because whatever he could remember about his nightmares, they always pointed to this castle. He wasn't born in Deltora and moved here with his brother and no parents when he was barely 10 years old. So the reoccurrence of this unknown castle was baffling him.

Clive just scoffs, mutters something under his breath and leaves.
