Chapter 5: Welcome Back

Chapter 5: Welcome Back

After quite some time, a strange sight could be seen.

In a shadow covered land, with ground that looked like a mix of gold dust and grey sand.

A boy with pale skin and a weathered skeleton were walking at a leisurely pace.

"This is what people call the Forgotten Shore, it was given that name from the memories and the remnants of writings found here."

Eurys looked around as they walked, his skull had no expression. Nut Sunny knew he was very bored over the last few thousand years, so he must have been curious what had happened to the world.

"I do not remember this place, I have been to many places so that is saying something."

Sunny just nodded.

"Like I said, the dream realm, which I assume to be Dream God's Realm has been 'eating' the other divine realms. In my world, which is called Earth, a few years from now there will be a surge of Nightmare Gates and soon after the Dream Realm will eat the first recorded piece of Earth."

Eurys seemed to be confused about something, so Sunny asked.

"What's on your mind?"

Eurys just looked at him.

"Well, I was wondering why the realms seem to be merging. As far as I know, that should be impossible. That would be like building seven houses and throwing them at each other trying to make a mansion."

Sunny chuckled at the example.

"Well, that's why the dream realm is so fragmented. I assume you know about the hollow mountains and where you are in relation to the tree."

Eurys tilted his skull.

"While I don't know what the hollow mountains are, based on the name I can tell you mean Nether's Chain."

Sunny looked at him.

"Is it a massive mountain chain covered in mist that is the physical manifestation of nothingness?"

Eurys laughed.

"Yes, that is exactly what Nether's Chain looks like."

Sunny smiled.

'So that's what the hollow mountains real name is.'

"What about the desert, what is its real name. People just called it the Nightmare Desert because of how they reached it. They used Nightmare gates by the way."

Eurys laughed again.

"I've never heard a better name for that dreadful place, and sorry to disappoint but it has no real name. It was simply called the Golden Dessert."

Eurys looked back at Sunny and asked.

"What is a Nightmare gate?"

Sunny just gave him a puzzled stare.

"I thought you would already know based on how you helped Nephis find a seed, but I will tell you anyway."

After taking a second to think over his wordings he spoke.

"A Nightmare Gate forms from Nightmare seeds that fully mature. A Nightmare seed is something that I assume to be produced from important or traumatic events in the Dream Realm."

After taking a breath, he continued.

"They take place in the past, most are while the Gods and Deamons are alive. I assume they are made by the nightmare spell, but nobody actually knows, not even me. But if you live through the Nightmare and conclude whatever event you are tasked to complete you will be appraised by the spell."
