---------------------------*MYSTERY DARK DREAM*----------------------------
( Mid-night 3'o clock)
( glory palace, new empire street)
The sky is filled with blue luminescence and a bright full moon. Suddenly a wolf started howling. Nova and some strangers walked towards an abandoned palace filled with creepy trees and dark clouds all around. They opened the gates and walked into the garden. A snake passed them. Nova raised his head and an owl caught his eye. As soon as Nova looked at the owl it turned its head anti-clockwise and started to hoot. He turns his head towards the palace. Where two black griffin statues are placed on either side of the stairs near the door. They started climbing the stairs. Griffin's were staring at them as they moved. They walked on to the door
They all slowly opened the iron doors. There are many identical rooms and a beautiful statue of an elf head in between the stairs and a pleasant smell all around the place, lanterns lit up and the palace is full of paintings and artworks. They all started walking into the palace.
" We need to find the thief who stole the king's secret scroll, as soon as possible," said Ron a boy in a long red coat with a hood on his head, yellow rope tied to his waist, and a magic bow of awareness. "where should we start" said Alan a boy with blond hair and holding a pair of green magic daggers." move it already "said Dawn huge boy with a hammer of power in his hand and he pulled Alan's shoulder and he moves towards the stairs." that wasn't very nice" said Alan.
Everyone started walking upstairs. Dawn looked at the room suspiciously " It's better to split up" said Dawn.
Suddenly the door opened and a mystery skeleton hand half raped in a black Algae-like substance .pulled him in." ahhhahhha" Dawn screamed. " Did u hear something ? " asked Nova." That's nothing of my concern, " said Ron. Everyone started searching for the thief.
Alan entered the room " Such a great design wow ! " he started searching and looked under the bed. He saw something under the bed it was too dark under the bed so he couldn't see it. He crawls under the bed. A hand caught his neck and pulled him in.
Tom, Dan, and Lan came out of the room and said "There is nothing in this room" and looked at each other. Then at a time doors started opening and a hand pulled all of them in.
" Where are these people," said Ron looking around.
" Suddenly it stinks in here like rotten meat isn't it," said Nova while walking towards the Balcony at the end of the corridor. He suddenly heard a sound. "Ron!" said Nova in fear and looked around but he couldn't find anyone. Started walking toward the balcony again, lanterns started flickering and paintings started dripping blood. He started running towards the balcony.
"Hello, Nova," said A monster with a green hood appeared and said it in a creepy voice.
Nova a 12-year-old boy woke up covered in sweat, breathing heavily, looked around, and realized that it was a nightmare

----------------------------* WHAT'S A DREAM ? * ------------------------------
(In the morning )
" Nova get up or you gonna be late for school, " said Rose Nova's mom. " no.... mom I don't wanna go, "said Nova with a sleepy voice. Slowly, the bed sheet started rising and Rose started tickling. Nova started laughing " Stop it mama stop it," said Nova. "Then wake up and get ready," said Rose. "ok mama," said Nova.
Nova came out of the bathroom wiping his head. " get your clothes on. Here is the breakfast. Eat fast we need to leave," said Rose. " we..." said Nova. "Today I am going to drop you so eat fast," said Rose. " but mom," said Nova. " no but I am dropping you today," said Rose.
Nova and his mom get into the car and hit the road. Mary a girl with blond hair in a school dress riding a bicycle passed by. Nova saw Mary and she was folding her hair back. " ufff... I would have been with her cycling " Nova was saying to himself.
The car stopped at the school gate. "Hi Auntie good morning, " said Mary. "good morning dear," said Rose." hi Nova," said Mary. Nova gave a small smile on his face with a bit of disappointment."I will just park and come" said Mary. Mary parked her cycle and came back. Rose held Nova and Mary's hands and brought them to the classroom. Rose went to talk with the teacher about Nova's education.
"How is Nova doing, is he doing well," Rose asked Ms.Clar
bell rang.
Sunshine from the window interferes with the camera where Nova is looking out lying his head on the table.
"Hey! ". "Hey, Nova". Mary calls Nova and taps his shoulder. he turns around. "did you complete yesterday's work" asked Mary. "No" replied Nova. "Do you at least have the book?" said Mary. Nova started checking his bag."don't worry you will not get it, you left it at my home" said Mary. Nova took the book from Mary. " Don't worry, I have done your homework" said Mary. " thank you daa" said Nova. " do you really think you can get away with that, " said Mary. Nova rolled his eyes. " you boys never know how to treat a girl" said Mary. "that's ok ! But who told you that you are a girl" said Nova. Mary grabs the book and tries to pul it. Both are fighting over the book. " give it. I will tear the pages" said Mary. " sorry.... sorry......sorry" said Nova.
Ms.Clar enters the class. They stopped fighting.
"I would like to give you people a break today and let's discuss something else......... like your future dreams," said Ms.Clar. "Ms.Clar, Mark peed in bed while he had a dream about saving a mermaid underwater," said Phillips. Mark just put his head down in embarrassment. While everyone was laughing including Ms.Clar. " that's very bad Phillips you must not say that " said Ms.Clar by chuckling. "enough guys. Say sorry to Mark" said Ms.Clar.
"sorry Mark" Said the whole class. "sorry Mark . Kids it's not very nice to tease someone ". said, Ms.Clar
"Then today we will be talking about dreams. Who is gonna say what's a dream " said, Ms.Clar. Torry stood up and said " Dreams are a universal human experience that can be described as a state of consciousness characterized by sensory, cognitive, and emotional occurrences during sleep. The dreamer has reduced control over the content, visual images, and activation of the memory.". " that's pretty impressive, Torry! How do you know all those things ?". Ms.Clar asked in surprise. "I saw it in a documenter, Ms.Clar, " said Torry."Nice habits Torry. I think you people also have to try to make a habit of things like this! Sit Torry. Class give a round of applause for Torry "
everybody started clapping. started murmuring about the documentary
" I saw it too. "
"me too"
" boring things"
" clam down guys," said Ms.Clar. The class went silent.
" ok, do you people know we can control our dreams? " said Ms.Clar."mmmmm" the whole class in surprise.
" yes, we can, and it's called lucid dreaming. A state where you know you are in a dream. Where you can feel your imagination, the stories can be rewritten. Power of creation and distortion in your hands" Ms.Clar looked around and the kids looked a little confused.
"sorry kids, it's basically like building legos and playing with them. Where you can ride your favorite bike. Fight with supervillains. save your dream world and there are some rules and bad side effects too..."
bell rings
" that's it for today kids," said Ms.Clar
at 9'0 clock
Nova was lying on the bed with a bed sheet on. " how was your school today" asked Rose. "today Ms.Clar told me about dreams and controlling them" said Nova.
"I don't know about controlling but my grandmother used to say stories about the god of dreams," said Rose. Nova looked at her with a keen look on his face." here is what she used to say. Dreams are the bridges to the dream realm called "demos oneiron" it's a place where soule take rest from the physical world."
Roes by scratching Nova's head said
" Beautiful gardens, elves, unicorns and so many mystical creatures, a palace, and a full magical world. Where the king appears in dreams to convey important messages to men, I used to feel it when I was a child, but now it's all faded. It's just a mystical story. Now go to sleep sweetheart" said Rose.
"mmm....... Mom, I wanna know more about it " Nova said in disappointment.
" some other time sweetheart. Mama has a lot of work to do in the office so I Need a nap " said Rose. he rolled his eyes. " we will complete the story tomorrow I promise " she said looking into his eyes. " Ok mama," said Nova. " hey cutie don't be sad I said I promise," said Rose and kissed his forehead.
Rose turned off the light and opened the door. Rose closed the door halfway and said " Love you, sweetheart". "Love you too Mom," said Nova.

---------------------------------*LUCID DREAMING*-----------------------------
Is there a place like that where I can walk on clean grass, where I can confess my feelings to Mary? Save her from bad villains "Pow pow pow" I can be a hero to her. Flying above the clouds and feeling the air flowing around us. Racing with birds. Flying over the sea. Looking at the tiny humans. No school, no books, no teachers. Where I can play all day with all my friends. uffffff.......
*looking at the family pic*
Where I can meet my father and talk to him, play with him again, and talk about Mary, my friends, and Mom. Let's try to control the dream as Ms.Clar said
(Nova tries to sleep but can't sleep for an hour and then he finally sleeps)
Nova opened his eyes. "Nova wake up or you gonna be late," said Rose. " I am already up Mom," said Nova. "it doesn't feel like a regular day," said Nova to himself.
Nova wearing his shirt ."Mom today I am gonna go on my own," said Nova Preparing for an argument. " as you wish my sweetheart " said Rose. Nova calmed down and said " Really, " said Nova." Yaa " Rose chuckled and said." thanks Mom, " said Nova and hugged her.
Nova riding a bicycle. " what a day everything is in my favor, I wish every day would be the same" said Nova. suddenly the bicycle slipped and Nova fell onto the ground, got dragged, and dased into a pole. " awch," said Nova." wait I don't feel any pain" Nova said to himself. he picked up his bicycle and started pedaling. " now it's time to put this to the test" said Nova.
He raised his hand towards the school and said "Finally".
The school bell rang and children rushed out from the gate." it's happening, yes it's happening!". Mary came out of the school and looked at Nova. H is heart skied a beat. " good morning " Mary greeted Nova. Suddenly a man with dark brown wings and eagle claws caught her and flew into the air." I need to protect her," said Nova
Nova responds to the black market of the cartel. " hey kid cover your face. This is not a place to be freely walking around. Try to be Roman in Rome" said Mike. " ok sir " said Nova.
A made-up story flashed in Nova's mind.
" Ok, kid what's her name? And what is she to you" asked Mike. " sir, she is my friend " said Nova. Mike throws a loaf of bread and says " It's not that easy to get to him, ok? As soon as you see him put this dagger into his heart, did you get it". Nova was shocked to hear this." kid! Kid!" said Mike shaking his shoulder. " we really need to kill in order to free her. I mean what does it cost a life for a life " said Nova. " listen, kid wars are written by blood if you like it or not. Did you forget how he wiped a whole city off the map you ware barely alive when I saved you remember that kid " said mike.
" He had his losses too. We the people of the town killed his kid's, wife," said Nove. "that doesn't count now kid. We can't change the past now" said Mike. " At least we can try sir," said Nova. Nova looked into his eyes and said " This is my dream I will decide how it should go. However, you are not real, even though it feels real " said Nova. " What did you just say?" asked Mike. " This is my dream, you are my imagination, so I do, what I want," said Nova. " I am an imagination? Am I an imagination? Am I an imagination " Mike kept repeating the phrase and his voice gradually turned creepy.
Nova got nervous and tried to get out. " where are you going kid" said Mike with the same creepy voice. Nova ran into the crowd. " I raised you, kid for real there is no imagination," said Mike. Nova gasps in the crowd behind a man." Nova... Nova " Mike's voice gets louder. A head stuck out behind the man." Hello! Nova" said Mike.
In his imagination ."Hello! Nova " the spirit with the green hood and skeleton body. Nova panics and tries to run away. He tries to exit the dream.
The world started falling apart, buildings started disintegrating and started blacking out. He turns his head around to cheek. The ground also started disintegrating. Nova tried to run faster but Nova fell into infinite darkness

"Hello," said an old elf with a destroyed waist and shots. Nova panicked and looked around.
"don't panic kid "

" I have been waiting for you, one who would rescue this reality"

" Hi i am NURZHAN, messanger of king Morpheus. I am your google map here "
"Where am I," said Nova
" This is DEMOS ONEIRON, in other words, dream world," said Nurzhan. " why am I here ? " asked Nova. "because you destroyed your own dream and stuck in here," said Nurzhan. " how do I get out?" asked Nova. " I am afraid that's not gonna happen soon. There are lots of things going on in this realm, it's gonna take a while" said Nurzhan. " what do I do till then? " asked Nova. " you can stay here and explore the place " said Nurzhan. They started walking.
" Hey, what is this place actually," said Nova. " hmmmm, This is DEMOS ONEIRON the kingdom of MORPHEUS son of HYPNOS, the god of sleep. Dreams are the connecting bridges of the real world and spiritual world, and this is the place where we keep those worlds alive, is that clear kid " said Nurzhan. Nova turned his head by saying " Not actually ".
Nova falls on his bum, his eyes wide open with fear and sock. He raised his hand and started pointing toward something.
There were thousands of demonic spirits swirling around the destroyed buildings looking at Nova. Nurzhan picked up Nova and started walking towards the gateway.
