Relty opened his eyes to find himself standing in a forest of vibrant trees shaded from blue to purple that all had bioluminescent leaves. Looking around he noticed that he stood on the only high ground visible for miles, the dark sky lit with bright lights seemed almost within his grasp. "This is a new one, I wonder where I am" he spoke with a whispy echo. A gentle hum suddenly began and a path of white light extended from the edge of the peak over the forest's canopy the wind creating a beautiful song as it hit the newly formed bridge. Relty stepped onto the bridge with no hesitation as he was experienced with strange phenomena in these worlds his mind created for him to wander. Normally he'd just walk aimlessly for hours enthralled by their stunning appearances. However, this one seemed to have a purpose for appearing, Relty had not noticed but for the last few minutes he had been walking on nothing, not even the light continued to stretch this far, but he knew the rest of the path all the same.

Relty stopped in his tracks, the path no longer continued and instead infront of him was an orb of floating purple flames letting off a subtle and soothing heat. "Lity... -re you alit-" an ominous voice spoke with broken words that Relty couldn't figure out or string together a comprehendble phrase. Without any form of warning the flame collapsed in on itself and disappeared and the air that Relty stood on became normal and he fell through the trees and hit the ground with a loud thud.

He now sat on his bedroom floor rubbing his head where he landed on it. "Another dream... I wonder why it's a different place every time" he asked himself as he got to his feet. He stared at himself in the mirror for a few moments, he was just below average height for 14 years of age and thin. his brown hair a complete mess and his purple eyes as vibrant as usual. He checked the clock beside his bed, seeing it was time for him to wake up he grabbed his uniform. The uniform for his school usually having a dark purple blazer, black trousers, a white shirt and a black tie with the schools logo which was a white wolf with cyan eyes. Relty however didn't wear the blazer which was allowed, he then walked over to a small lock box embedded with symbols and opened it and took out an amulet with a large white gem at its core and put it around his neck followed by his tie. He left his room and made his way to the kitchen, the house was as quiet as usual, Relty had lived alone for the last few years after his mother had died during a break in and he never knew his father as his mother told him that he had died a few months before Relty was born. Relty made some toast and ate before getting ready to leave, he grabbed his bag and put on his shoes and fixed his hair, Relty then finally left the house.
