30 A sweet dreams...but not really

"He's gone?!" Ashley yelled shocked, "I-I don't know…when I got here, he's nowhere! How can he moved around when asleep?!" Celine said freaking out, "No…it's my fault. I should take her words seriously." Ashley muttered, "what?" Celine ask tilting her head, Ashley's eyes widened, and points to someone in front of them, "Oi! Bastard!!! Give us back Zeolite!!" She shouts seeing Blake carrying Zeolite in front of them. Blake grits her teeth and runs further the carts.

"Stop there!" Ashley shouts chasing them, Celine blinks a couple times before running after them.

Leon jump from his position to avoid the dragon attack. The dragon attack missed and cause its head to get stuck to the cart roof. Leon smirks and rushes at him, but he abruptly stops and ducked his head, as he thought, Isla reappear, a surprise look on her face, Leon grabbed her leg, so she doesn't fall from the train, and make sure she's okay at a glance, he runs again to Xander.

"Good moves!" Xander cheerfully exclaimed, two dragons stood up behind him, launching their heads at Leon, Leon slash their heads and keep running, "More! Keep up more!" Xander laughs more dragons show up behind him. 'This is bad...I can't seem to use my magic…' Leon thoughts trying to activate his magic, but it does nothing.

Hector has forgotten about the dimension they're in, about what they're really is. And that idiotic fox just go along with him. "Ah, mom, is father here?" Hector ask, the two were walking in the kingdom hallways, "He is. But he got a lot of works. It's a little impossible to meet him now." Elaine said puffing her cheeks. "Ahaha…I kinda understand his struggles." Hector chuckle. "Your Majesty! Do you have time?" Elaine's assistant asks approaching them, and bow when she's in front of them.

"Of course. What is it?" Elaine ask smiling warmly, "I will need you to follow me." Elaine's assistant said, "Alright. See you later Hector." Elaine smiles waving her hands. "Mhm!" Hector grins. "Master. Are you sure about this?" Arkus ask worried, "I don't know…we can't wake up…what to do?" Hector groans in frustration, "dunno." Arkus shrugs.

After a lot of frustration energy the two emitted, mostly Hector. The two choose to go to the garden. Where Hector meets Elaine. "Man! I can't think clearly!" Hector frown slumping to the bench. Arkus doesn't answer his frustration because he is staring at a girl. Who is staring at them too. "Master…there's someone watching us." Arkus said suspiciously looking at the girl.

"Who?" Hector asks opening his eyes, "that girl." Arkus said pointing to the girl, Hector can't help but feels like he had seen her somewhere. Yep. It's the petite girl in Hector's dreams and when the two was in the graveyard. When the girl realize the two were staring at her, she smiles a little and decides to approach them.

"Arkus! She's that girl! The one I'm seeing in the graveyard!" Hector said trying to tell him that he is not lying, "are you sure? I don't see someone else other than us before." Arkus said still doesn't believe him. "Ah jeez! Whatever you say!" The two continue to argue until the girl is in front of them. "You're like a child." The girl said giggles.

"Where were you Isla?" Zeolite ask wiping his tears, "aww, why are you crying, big bro? I just recently got my allowance of traveling around!" Isla grins happily. "Ah, I see. Good for you." Zeolite smiles, "Mhm! I guess so!" Isla cheered.

Zeolite closes his eyes for a while, the gentle breeze touches his skins, he takes a deep breath and about to open his mouth until, a sudden change happens. "You monster…you monster! Go die in vain!" A boy in front of him shout rushing at him, Zeolite eyes widened when he heard the voice, "L-Lucas?" Zeolite uttered, "Don't call my name! You prick!" Lucas runs at him, hatred fills his voice. Unintentionally Zeolite's right hand move on it owns, 'No!' he thoughts, trying to bring his right hand down.

"Xander! Isla! I've got him!" Blake said, "Ah, our playtime is over, goodbye Mister Hansford." Xander smiles bowing. "Oi, oi, I'm not done!" Leon shout, "Isla, you may." Xander said, "ah, right." Isla said preparing her spell. "Don't you dare to leave!!!" Ashley yelled making Isla flinch and pause the progress. "Tch, not you again." Blake said annoyed. "Let go of him!" Ashley shouted, "By my order, the Ice Cold Vagabond herself, perish from my sight! Blizzards!" she chants her spell, the train suddenly stop as wild blizzards suddenly goes on.

"What is this?" Blake said clicking her tongue. "Amazing…she resisted my dispel magic! I've never witnessed the power of Escarcha bloodlines before! Wonderful!" Xander said happily, Blake sweatdrops at his act. "Let go of him. Or this is your end." Ashley said glaring at them with malice.

"…Can you tell me again…the story you always repeatedly tells when I was about to sleep?" Theresa asks sitting down on the couch, "my, my, you're so naïve Theresa." Grandma said closing her eyes, "Mhm, you're right about that." Theresa sigh, "then, please hear me out, dear." Grandma smiles closing her eyes.

"Can you follow me?" The girl asks tilting her head, "sure! To where?" Hector grins, the girl about to open her mouth to speak, until a guard speaks, "Young Master! The King needs to see you!" They said bowing, "ah. I'm sorry. Maybe next time." Hector said kneeling down at her level, "too bad." The girl pout, crossing her arms. "I'm sorry once again." Hector smiles before jogging to where the guard is.

"Then…You're in for a ride. Hector." The girl smirk looking back at Hector who is speaking with the guard.

"Bastard…I swear…I wish decades of despair for you…" Lucas muttered tiredly, his heart is being gouged out by Zeolite's right hand. His body gives up and falls to Zeolite's shoulder. Zeolite's eyes widened, his left hand trembles, he pushes his body, as it hits the ground, he pulls his right hand out from Lucas's body. "AGH!" Zeolite freaked out, he throws Lucas heart somewhere.

"No, no, no…this isn't happening…" Zeolite said quietly, he stares at both his hands, trembling, with Lucas blood on his right hands. "Great job, Zeolite. Or should I call you, killing machine." Someone said behind him. Zeolite turns around sharply, "You! How many times should I tell you? I'm not a killing machine!" he shouts with pure hatred.

"How can you prove that? Look at those fallen soldiers! Who's the reason? You!" The man laughs loudly. Zeolite hesitantly looks around, destroyed buildings, thousands of fallen soldiers, and a sea of flames. "See? This is all your doing! Have you realized? Zeolite!" The man exclaimed satisfies with what Zeolite do. "No! No!" Zeolite shout clutching his head, his trauma has come once again, haunting him.
