Chapter 89. Dream On

Xen was running for his life.

There was a giant chasing him and it kept calling him.

He was back in his nightmare in a narrow, lonely alley. He found himself trapped in his own thoughts. Darkness surrounded him, making it hard to breathe. He felt like something bad was about to happen.

Then, he saw a flickering streetlight ahead, making creepy shapes on the ground. There was something on the floor—a sharp knife. It looked dangerous, shining in the dim light. He felt drawn to touch it, even though he was scared. When his hand met the cold metal, he felt a shock through his body.

The metal morphed and shifted, just like his own hand. His hand no longer looked human nor did the metal look like a knife, it was a Staff all along.

He knew that he was sweating. He knew that he wasn’t awake. Yet he failed to wake up, instead he traveled to another dimension.

There lay the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, lying on clouds, unaware that he was staring.
