Zak Storm - The Chosen One

The Comic Dream

"Come on! Just take my hand - a little bit further!" "Come!" "No!! Ri-" 

"Zak!" Zak sat up in a jerky manner. At first he didn't know where he was. "What happened?" "You were, like... blown away, not at all in reality..." Clovis replied. Zak lowered his view to the ground. Cece looked at him forcefully. "Something depresses you Captain..." Zak got up and left the cabin. "No, no, I'm fine!" Without looking at Cece, he took the helm of the Chaos and stared at the vast sea of Beru.

"Zak, you haven't slept properly for weeks. Something is wrong with you! Look, you can hardly keep your eyes open." Zak knew he wouldn't get Cece off his back. 

"Well, fine. I've had the same dream for weeks and somehow it seems very familiar to me. I saw my dad, or someone like him: 'Take my hand!' A scream... And... a female voice..." Cece frowned. "Maybe you're constantly dreaming of the day you came into the Triangle." Zak shook his head and leaned on the railing. "No, it certainly wasn't. Dad didn't say that, and he called a different name. Ri - or something." Cece rubbed her chin. "Maybe the dream is a vision or a message." Zak shrugged. "I have no idea. But that's not important, we'll arrive in Marituga right away and then we can rest. Chaos... set course for the next portal to Marituga." Cece must have been satisfied with this.

Arriving in Marituga, they had enough time to relax. Cece already had a plan and made her way to Sassafrass. "The old witch can certainly help me." 

S: "Have you heard about knocking?" 

C: (threw her money on the table)

S: "Ahh... How can I help you, my child?" 

C: "I need your advice... What do you know about recurring dreams?" 

S: "Well, dreams can do something good or bad, make predictions and so much more. Why do you want to know?" 

C: "Zak has always had the same dream for weeks and that seems to make him nervous... 

S: "Well, it may be that something big, which could eventually turn into something terrible. This dream certainly has an important significance for Zak's fate. Nothing happens by chance." 

C: "How can you stop that?" 

S: "That's not possible. His subconscious leads him on the right path without him noticing. I feel mischief, and even death." 

Cece thanked Sassafrass and made her way back to The Chaos. Sassafrass's words did not go out of her mind. Were they true? Or is she just exaggerating again? But she decided to take the warning seriously, you never know... But at first, she kept the conversation to herself. Zak already had enough around his ears. "Hey, Cece, you okay?" asked Zak, suspiciously. But she waved him off: "Oh, I'm fine!" "Now it's you who behaves strangely," Zak muttered. They set sail: "Chaos. Set course for the Waypoint of Aeria."
