41 Dream

The trio waited while Gammel disappeared beneath his stall again seeming to get the food that Umbra was talking about. Sagar wasn't sure how this stall worked or if it had some kind of function that allowed the old man to disappear as he did but from the looks of things it just looked like a normal food stall.

Five minutes later the old man popped out of nowhere with three plates filled with food. It was at this moment that Sagar forgot to ask about how much the food would cost them only to remember that the meals they eat on academy grounds was covered by their tuition. The three grabbed their food and went to go sit down at one of the tables in the dining hall where they continued to talk about various topics.

Eating the food Sagar agreed with Umbra's statement about the quality of the food. It looked completely standard by all rights but the actual taste of it said otherwise. Sagar wondered if the old man's stall would always be there as he wouldn't mind eating this everyday.

When they finished eating Sagar decided he would head back to his dorm as he was very tired, mentally at least, from everything that's happened today. Having the just the tests would not wear him out to such an extant but it was mainly his battle with Klaus that exhausted him to this degree. The girls seem to understand even if one of them wasn't there for the actual fight she knew about the capabilities of Klaus and if anything was surprised that Sagar even bothered to hang out with them for such a time.

Getting back to his room Sagar took off his shoes then threw himself on his bed falling asleep almost immediately. Sagar didn't seep into any sort of dream while he was asleep instead he was met with a familiar sight that he's been getting acquainted for the past for months ever since he wiped out that group in the forest.

In this dream Sagar was floating in this sort of void that had two sides to it. One was glowing with light giving off a caring aura that was trying to say it would bring no harm to those who enter it. The other was covered in darkness giving off a malicious aura that was telling anyone who entered it that they would be killed on the spot. Both these areas also had some sort of figure within them that Sagar couldn't exactly tell what they are.

This dream pops up at random times, it's not really consistent with it's appearance and Sagar is not sure what the problem is. He usually just sits down looking at the two areas along with the figures within them trying to find out what the deal with them is.

This time around Sagar decided he would stop sitting around getting nothing done and he would try approaching the figures in the areas hopefully they could tell him what was going on. Of course he was going to the more light sided area as he could guarantee that nothing bad would happen to him once he does.

With that in mind he started making his way towards the figure on the light side of this void. From where he was sitting the distance didn't seem to be that far maybe only taking only twenty minutes or so to get there. Even though Sagar can't really tell how much time passes in this void he felt like several hours passed before he even came close to this figure.

The figure itself was facing away from Sagar but he could make out some things about it from where he was at. He was wearing very formal clothes with some slacks and a black jacket covering his torso but he wasn't exactly wearing the jacket, instead the his black jacket was more like a straight jacket wrapping around his upper body. Not only was there this sort of jacket wrapping around him but there even were a bunch of chains covering his entire body with several locks located all across them. The figure didn't seem to be bothered with them but even in this void the weight of those chains were pressing on the surrounding area. On the top of his head he was wearing a simple top hat but underneath it Sagar could see something akin to bandages covering this figures head.

As Sagar was still trying to get a good look at this being the figure that was facing away from Sagar turned around noticing another presence other than itself in this void. With this Sagar got a good look at the face of this person if you would even call what he was doing as looking at his face as it was completely wrapped up in cloth. The only thing that Sagar could see was a clear blue light leaking out from the area where this beings left eye was supposed to be.

The cloth covering the beings face seemed to start moving a bit almost as if he was trying to speak to Sagar but Sagar himself was hardly hearing anything it was saying. It was just coming out in broken pieces with Sagar only hearing, "I -m --o-.... t--- -r- -..."

Before Sagar could even bother trying to figure out what it was saying or even hear the end of what it was saying he was pulled by some force throwing him back to where he was when he entered the void. When he crashed against the ground he closed his eyes because of the sudden pain he experienced and when he opened them again instead of seeing the endless void he was staring at the ceiling in his room above his bed.

Sagar sat up and realized that he was actually sweating a bit probably from what he was experiencing in the dream. These events only caused him to become more curious about what was going on in this weird void he keeps entering. The only thing was that he wouldn't be able to find out more about it until he had the dream again and that was completely random so all Sagar could do was bide his time until then.

Getting off the bed Sagar went to go shower after which he went back to bed so that he could be well rested for the next day.
