Max twisted and turned, murmuring quietly an unidentifiable chant. Sweat glistened on his forehead, and he seemed to be in pain.

"So Max, it's a pleasure to finally meet you face to face." A thin, stick-like man wrapped inside a cloak said. However, he never opened his mouth. Simply, Max heard the man's voice reverberate inside his mind. It's just a dream, Max repeated to himself, it's just a dream.
"Now Max, I expect that you have many questions, yes? First, I shall cover the most basic one - my name. The name that was given to me, you would not be able to pronounce, so call me..." He paused,"....call me L." Max stuttered something, however, before he could create an actual sentence, L continued.
"So, introductions done, the next question - why are you here? First, here is your mind. Second, you're here because I've been watching you. And what I've seen is a kind-hearted, albeit impulsive boy. What I also see is someone who has the potential to save the existence of every living being in this world, and my own." Max just stood there, utterly amazed. Taking in his surroundings for the first time, he saw a magenta fog covering the nearby area. The ground appeared to be made from a selection of different street types; cobbled, tarmac, dirt trails. Only slightly viewable, there was a plethora of wildlife just on the edge of the fog. Finally, Max spotted a swirling, purple portal, with what looked like sand spilling out.
"Max, that portal will remove you from this dream state, but before you leave, one last thing - the symbol on your hand? There's a reason it's there Max. Soon, you'll be approached again, and you must trust the person that does so. He will help you towards your destiny. And Max, keep that girl close, never before have I seen someone's destiny cross so closely with your's. Be careful."
