Alcina Rebirth?

Rock continued his shlong speech.

"There're four main differences between Nightmare and Dream Realm. Firstly in dream realm doesn't have a 'story'. You can explore wherever you want provided that you have enough strength to stay alive in wilderness. Most people tend to remain close to human citadels.

Secondly, there aren't any people in dream realm except for those who came from real world. They're only monsters, some of them can even mimic humans." His words made the sleepers shake like a tree in a cyclone.

Some even had pale faces because of stress.

Sunny would observe everyone reaction and makes a mind note.

"Thirdly, unlike the first nightmare, no nightmare creatures would appear in real world if you die. That's a good thing even though it sounds cruel. Awakened forces are already so thin, we can't have every sleeper to be monitored. It would be only waste of resources.

"And lastly and most important. Unlike nightmares which are bound with rules, there's no limit of nightmare creatures in dream realm. During a nightmare the spell wouldn't fit a higher rank opponent with a dormant human."

Sunny face twitched with annoyance as the govt didn't have enough data on this as most of them didn't survive in such situations.

"But in dream realm there aren't any restrictions. You can stumble upon an Unholy Titan and die before even realising. So be careful and stick to the regions you can fare with, but atleast there will be a chance of you biting more than chew." Awakened Rock halted and observed the faces of sleepers. Then he added.

"When the solstice comes y'll be drawn to dream realm. The exact location can't be predicted, but there's high chance you can find yourself in close proximity to each other.

Band together and proceed to the nearest human citadel. Each citadel is built around

a gateway which you can use to return."

Once sleeper reached the gateway they would be able to escape to reality and get awakened. There core would evolve and they would get a second ability. But I will recieve my third aspect Ability.

"If you can't locate the nearest citadel, search for unclaimed gateway. It will be usually inside or outside of the near the most prominent landmark of the region. Work together to defeat it's gaurdian and come back alive."

He gave them a heavy look before saying.

"This is all for today. Next follow the instructions send to your communicators to find your dormitory. Once settled you may proceed to Cafeteria for supper. There will be a round of interviews after that. Get a good night rest your training starts tomorrow." With that he gave them a short nod and left.

After that I turned around to find the girl was still staring at my back. Her eyes shifted when I turned around to look at her. "Did you understand all, what prof Rock told?"

She nodded without replying. I smiled and patted her head gently. "Good Job. Sunny let's get done with our interviews and meet up in cafeteria. You too quite girl." I said while standing up of bench and proceeded towards my assigned room.

"Hey wait! Kyou don't leave me here!" Sunny too followed me from back taking out his communicator.

While the quite girl eyes tailed them where they went. After they were unnoticeable from distance she broke into a smile. (It's been day's, I have felt a emotion after the nightmare. I can't look at his face but he was warm enough to make me smile.) She pondered inwardly before getting of the bench and searched for her room.

After finding his room Kyou opened it with his code. Inside was a bed with soft mattress, a table, a dresser and a separate bathroom. The room was clean while the air crisp and sterile. It was warm inside and the outer wall was equipped with a hidden screen that imitated a window, showing a picturesque of warm desert.

There were several sets of clothes too provided by the academy. Now he had enough time to check his echo and memory.

He summoned the runes and material his memory. A large orb of size of basketball appeared in his hand. It was .....

Memory : [Memory Orb].

Memory : Sacred.

Memory Type : True Soul

Memory Description : [A orb which has the recollection of all events (Memories) of Alcina Dimitrescu from birth to death. This is her materialised soul. If provided a prophesied vessel she would be able to reborn anew.]

Memory Restriction : [She would lose certain amount of powers. She would possess the ability of growth when provided a vessel.]

(Alcina must have wanted to remain together with me but her vows of Apostle Hood bound her. At the last moment she would have turn her memories and materialised them into an orb.

Now let's see her echo, that must be her vessel. If I'm right.)

He summoned his runes again and went inside his soul sea.

Echo : [A mother's Love].

Echo Rank : [Cursed]

Echo Class : [Terror]

Echo Attributes : [Blood Authority], [Battle Continuation], [Fragmented Divinity], [Dragonic Transformation], [Rebirth ???]

Echo Description : [A perfect replica of Alcina Dimitrescu in her prime. A clone.... a puppet with strings with no emotions and will. A vessel for real Alcina Dimitrescu. Her fragment of memory is missing making her a puppet.???]

(Wow she has so many abilities but she would lose the rebirth ability because of her resurrection. But how would I proceed to combine them, I don't think it's possible. For now I will use her clone as trump card or other dangers.)

After checking all my runes, I freshened up by taking a bath and proceeded for my interviews.

They asked about my experience and other information. Even my aspects and True name if possible. But I ignored everything and told my True Name, they got shocked as they found another candidate who got his True name and he was from slums. My interview took a long time as they had to call an awakened who had lie Detection ability.

Quite handy but has no firepower. They pressured me to hand over my details of Aspect. But I denied them completely and leave the room while shrugging. Some had copied me too as they wanted to complete their interview earlier than enjoy their whole supper.

After finding the location of Cafetaria with communicator I walked towards that direction. He found Sunny in the food counter taking mountains of food in his plate with a huge grin. "Hey sunny.... control bro you might get stomachache with that much amount."

"Pfft! Don't worry, my stomach can digest everything cuz they're providing real meat! Sigh one of my dreams got fulfilled so earlier. Gosh! This damned Spell why didn't it affected me at the beginning of year rather at the end..... I could have lived such lavish life."

"Yahh that's given..... I have been sick of eating synthetic food. Atleast academy are doing a nice job for brats mental health." I commented while taking a stake and other side dishes.

"Yes, even though I'm eating this meat,the taste of synthetic food is instill in my mind. Sigh."

"Anyways let's find ourselves a seat. Well everyone's packed up.... wait the quite girl has some space let's go there." I pointed the blind girl who was seating alone in bench and was eating silently.

"Kyou she's blind right? How can she found that seat easily?"

"Some staff and teacher must have helped, let's go there and ask her. It's better to sit and eat rather to eat while standing.
