Lady of Light: “I see that you were enjoying your morning breakfast. I don’t see Mally and Penelope with you.”
Martin: “It’s terrible… Mally and Penelope were finished off by the Impure Lord known as Mansan… Can Mally and Penelope return to the physical world?”
The Lady of the Light summoned a square-like hologram in their sights. On it showed two hospital rooms located at separate areas in a hospital. In both rooms, they saw with horror to find Mally and Penelope unconscious linked up with life support systems. They appeared in the same situation like Theodore. Each doctor of both rooms tried to diagnose Mally and Penelope of their condition. No matter what they did, they couldn’t find anything wrong with Mally and Penelope. The hologram soon ended to leave the Dream Club Members appearing saddened and worried.
Martin: “Just great… Mally and Penelope are in a coma state… They have to be alive in the Dream Existence…? Tell me that is the case…”
Lady of Light: “They are but they have trouble waking up back to the physical world.”
Kathleen: “Really! That’s great news that they are still alive!”
Shawn: “I wonder Lady of the Light, why can’t our friends wake up? I always thought that our dream techniques would help us to wake up.”
Lady of Light: “The Impure Lord won’t allow them. He injured them with his own energy. It is what made it difficult for them to return back to their physical bodies. It is for this reason why they can’t wake up.”
Shawn: “That’s bad… Is there a spiritual form of cleansing that could heal them of this?”
Lady of Light: “Only when you awaken and develop your powers.”
Shawn: “If only I’ve figured out what the Moon, Planet, Star and Galaxy symbols mean… Maybe, I could figure out a way to wake our friends up… Light, can you help me with this? What are they? What do they represent?”
Lady of Light: “The symbols you saw are called the States of Evolutionary Awareness. Each symbol points to a level of awareness of the Dream Existence. By going into a higher state of awareness, one’s experience in the Dream Existence becomes more real. They will be able to experience things that have been concealed from them before. When you are aware enough of the Dream Existence, you’ll know what they mean.”
The Dream Club Members reflected on her words.
Shawn: “So... That’s why we can’t go into the village... It is because we are not aware enough to understand it... I’ll figure out one day what the Moon, Planet, Sun and Galaxy Symbols mean. It might give us answers as to learn how to stop the Impure Order. It might even help us to know Humanity’s purpose in the universe…”
Lady of Light: “Any more questions. Then I wish you the best of luck. I’ll bid you farewell.”
A light consumed them to return them back to the fast food restaurant. The three Dream Club Members reflected on what they had experienced.
Martin: “This shows that our dream experiences are increasingly becoming challenging for us… I hope that when we awaken our powers, we could save our friends in that existence… Maybe together, we can end the Impure Order for good… Mansan seemed to target us individually and in small groups… If we faced him together, we could stop him…”
Shawn: “But we have to learn what the Impure Order is doing in the Impure City first.”
Martin: “Maybe when we rescue our friends, they will show us everything we need to know… I was lucky the few times I’ve been exploring the city… During those dream experiences, I thought that I was invisible… After my encounter with Mansan, it is too much of a risk for me to explore the city alone…”
Kathleen: “Then we will join you. We can together explore the city and learn what we can learn from it.”
Shawn: “We have to awaken our powers first. Can we do so before returning back to the Dream Existence?”
Kathleen: “I don’t know… We haven’t explored if we could awaken our powers in the physical world… If our books can defy physical laws, would it be true that we could awaken our powers in the physical world?”
Shawn: “I don’t think so… The Lady in the Light said that through our dream experiences could we awaken them… It could be possible to have normal dreams that could unlock them.”
Martin: “That would be a good idea. If we awaken our powers before returning to the Dream Existence again, it would help us a lot. To warn you, if we awaken our powers, Mansan could come after us…”
Shawn: “When we try to awaken our powers, I will explore the Evolutionary States of Awareness symbols. Through them, I might be able to figure out what they mean.”
Shawn looked towards someone walking to them. He then gave a wave with his hands as if welcoming someone. Kathleen and Martin looked on towards a lady standing in front of them. Martin looked closely to learn that it was the same person who preached about the end of the world to an audience at the park.
Shawn: “Hello Bellamy.” He faces his friends. “I forget to say that a guest would be meeting us. I feel she could help us with our situation. She had experienced some of the things we had experienced.”
Kathleen: “It is a pleasure to meet new members. I am Kathleen and this is Martin. We welcome you to the Dream Club Meeting.”
Martin glanced to her seriously while studying her for a while.
Bellamy: “It is a pleasure to meet you too.”
She took a seat near Shawn so the four of them could face each other.
Shawn: “Since she is here, she could show us what she has to offer us. We can offer her what we learned in return.”
Bellamy: “First off, let me introduce my Inner Transformation of Humanity Group...”
The three Dream Club Members and their guest started to socialize with each other.
Back in the Dream Existence, Mally woke up from bed. She slowly got up to rub her head before looking towards Penelope who was also waking up. Penelope got up to look around their environment.
In their environment, they saw a room that was somewhat the combination of a hospital room and a classroom. To their lefts, there was a countertop full of medical supplies like pills, needles and first aid kits. There were cabinets on top containing more medical supplies. Near the countertop were the windows that shined daylight into the room. There was also a window ceiling that offered daylight as well. It made it feel like they were outside despite being inside a building.
To their rights, there was an entrance into the room. Currently, the doors were shut closed. In front of them to a distance was a wall mounted television. On both sides of it were chalkboards. On one of the chalkboards, it read ‘Earthlings in healing.’
Penelope looked around with a look of confusion on her face.
Penelope: “Hey, where are we?”
Mally: “I think we have been sent here to be interrogated later…”
Penelope: “Forget that! I refuse to be their prisoner. Let’s break out of here.”
Mally: “Calm down Penelope. Don’t act recklessly. We have to think this through. Things might not be as they seem…”
Soon, the doors opened to reveal two people in doctor uniforms. They walked over to Mally and Penelope with warm smiles on their faces. Mally and Penelope looked on with a sense of seriousness.
Doctor 1: “Good morning, how are you doing?”
Mally and Penelope looked at them for a moment before Mally started speaking.
Mally: “Can you inform us where we are?”
Doctor 2: “You are in the hospital in the Earth City. You came here because one of our people discovered you. You were lying unconscious on the barren landscape. One of our cameras used to scan the environment had discovered you.”
One of the doctors summoned a remote from his pockets then turned on the TV. Mally and Penelope saw on the TV screen a barren landscape. There were no trees, oceans or anything but the dry ground and sunny weather. On the barren landscape, Mally and Penelope saw themselves lying unconscious on the ground. They had injury marks that Mansan inflicted on them.
At another part on the land, a pack of soldiers were walking to near Mally and Penelope’s positions. The soldiers appeared similar to the soldiers seen on physical Earth. They had army vests on but instead of carrying guns on them, they were carrying swords. One of the soldiers discovered Mally and Penelope that he motioned for the rest to look at his direction. The soldiers rushed over to observe an unconscious Mally and Penelope. One of them bent down to his knees to observe their condition. After he checked their heads for some time, he glanced back at his comrades.
Soldier: “They are still alive but are injured. Take them to the Earth City. We will continue to search out for more survivors.”
Four soldiers summoned out portable stretchers from their backpacks. They picked Mally and Penelope up to place them on the stretchers. A few soldiers then carried Mally and Penelope off to where the Earth City was. As for the remaining soldiers, they continued their search for more survivors. The TV shuts off leaving Mally and Penelope reflecting on the incident.
Doctor 2: “The Earth Soldiers took you here for us to heal you. We are happy that you made a full recovery.”
Mally: “How did we get there…? The last thing I remembered was the Impure Lord injuring us…”
Penelope: “I remembered that too… That creep is too tough for us to take down… He must have placed us there for some reason…”
Penelope stared at the doctors with a look of anger.
Penelope: “Are you in any way serving the Impure Order?”
Doctor 1: “Nope, far from it. They are our enemies. We know all of this seems confusing to you. Our leader would help you to understand what’s going on. He would explain everything once you meet him.”
Mally and Penelope saw two Earth Soldiers walk up to them. They gave off a welcoming mood.
Doctor 2: “These soldiers will escort you to him.”
Earth Soldier: “Please follow us. We will take you to him.”
Mally and Penelope looked at each other confused until Mally spoke.
Mally: “Very well. Let’s go. We need to get to the bottom of this.”
Mally got up from her bed. She glanced at Penelope who appeared hesitant of going. The look on her face showed that she didn’t trust them. Mally motioned Penelope to follow them. Penelope got up from her bed while looking at the doctors and soldiers. They then started to follow the soldiers out of their hospital room.
Down the hallways, Mally and Penelope were following the soldiers out of the hospital. The hallway they were walking down had that hospital feel to it.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Mally: “It’s strange that Mansan finished us off just to abandon us in the middle of nowhere… What is his strategy?”
Inside a building location, the building looked like an old parliament building that had existed for decades. It had old fashioned walls that went up 50 feet to where the ceiling was. The ceiling consists of colorful rocky stalactites. There were large columns that were spaced evenly in the building.
There was a roundabout hallway that went around an area containing many rooms. In one of them which were wide open for people to see, it revealed a long rectangular table with seats. The room appeared to be for important meetings to go down. There were four entrances at the East, West, South and North parts of the building. People consisting of citizens were walking down the hallway. They dressed as if they looked professional or worked for the government. Judging from how they were walking, they appeared busy as if in a rush. Some opened doors to end up into rooms.
At another part of the roundabout hallway; Mally and Penelope were with the Earth Soldiers. They were located at an entrance into a fancy room. Looking at the entrance, it was larger than two times their body heights. On the sides of the entrance, there were two lit candles suspended on fancy stands that reach to the level of their heads.
Earth Soldier: “Here we are. The Grand Hall. This is where our leader is.”
They opened the doors to the walls to allow Mally and Penelope to walk inside. On the other side, Mally and Penelope heard the doors close behind them. In the room, they observed their environment with wonder. The Grand Hall was spherical in shape with six balconies 30 feet above them. They saw six white pillars that met up to the balconies. From the entrance seams of the balconies, the six white pillars meet up together at the center of the ceiling. At the ceiling, there was a fancy lamp that gave light to the room.
In front of them was a 26-year-old guy who looked like he was studying them. He dressed in clothing that made him appear as if he was of royalty. The throne he was sitting on was made of gold. His throne was on top of a platform which was 5 feet in height and had steps that led to ground level.
Derry: He gave off a happy mood. “Welcome visitors. My name is Derry. I am the Guardian of the Earth City. The Earth City is a city that is meant for the people of Earth. It is also for those who had passed away from the physical existence. It is here that they could live out their afterlife.”
Mally: “I am Mally and this is Penelope. We are the Dream Club Members.”
Derry: “Dream Club Members you say…?” He placed his fingers on his chin as if interested by their presence.
Derry: “As you already know, you have now awakened into the Dream Existence. An existence beyond the Physical Existence which was a dream... Here, you are freed from physicality. We are fully aware of you having a physical life on Earth. For this reason, you are meant to be there until it is your time to pass on to this existence.”
Mally: “We tried to wake up back into the physical world but we can’t… None of our dream techniques worked. We suspected that the Impure Order is preventing us…”
Derry: “I understand you… Another person that visited here said the same thing and I believed him. So, I know you aren’t doing so because you want to escape from the physical world. You are being denied from returning back.”
Mally: “Can you tell us what is holding us back from waking up?”
Derry: “When you were in the process of recovery, my doctors learned that your dream bodies were still connected to your physical bodies. We tried to help you to wake up back to the physical world but to no success. It is there that my doctors discovered your injuries. We saw dark residual energies in those wounds.
When we observed your physical body that is connected to your dream bodies, we discovered that there were dark beads connected to your energy cord. Your energy cord allows you to be connected to your physical body. If it is severed, you will physical die and would be unable to return to physical life. The reason why I am saying this is because it already happened to a few people here… They had dark beads connected to their energy cords. Overtime, those beads burst open cutting the energy cord apart and trapping them in this existence.”
Penelope: “The Impure Order will pay for this!!”
Mally: “This is very disturbing what we are hearing… Tell me Derry, how did dark beads end up on our energy cords?”
Derry: “They only way this could happen is if you received an injury of dark energy. Not just any dark energy from troops and generals…. Only from someone very powerful enough to interfere with your physical bodies…”
Penelope: “It must be the Impure Lord, Mansan!!! When he injured us, we couldn’t wake up again… It must have been the same for Theodore…”
Derry: “Theodore… I see now… I had my suspicions but now I know that you two are his friends. I heard so much from him.”
Penelope: “Wait? Theodore is here? Alive?”
Derry: “He is and he is a very talented individual. He is currently getting ready for his audition here. When he first came here, he explained to me about what happened… He showed me what he faced through his Awakening Book. I learned from him that he was in a dark fortress. He showed me horrible things that happened there… We know all too well about the Impure Order. We dealt with them too many times... We don't know where they came from or what their plan is... At least Theodore presented us with some clues.”
Mally: “We can assist you with this. We both were in the Impure City where the Impure Fortress was. I went to the Dream World Building. It was there where I learned that the Impure Troops taking people out of their dreams. Their victims ended up as their slaves… Penelope went to the Battle Forest.”
Penelope: “In the Battle Forest, I’ve seen the Impure Order training the Impure Members so they could invade the physical world… We’ll show you what we are talking about.”
Mally: “Good idea.”
Derry summoned out his book onto his lap. Mally looked at Derry’s Awakening Book for some time. She started reflecting on the Impure Troops to Latorfix possessing book pendants of their own.
Mally: “I have a question. I’ve seen you and your people carrying necklaces around your necks. It’s the same for the people who served the Impure Order. Is it a common thing in the Dream Existence for everyone to have a book necklace?”
Derry: “Why exactly. Our Awakening Books as we call them is what guides and helps us in our daily lives. I can’t say the same for the Impure Order though… For them, their books are called the Impure Books… Books that embody nothing but corruption and impurity…”
Mally: “Interesting...” She places her index finger on her chin.
Derry: “I’m ready when you are ready.”
Mally and Penelope summoned out their Awakening Books.
Mally: “Awakening Book, show Derry what I had experienced in the Impure City?”
Penelope: “The same goes for you too. Show them what I experienced in the dark forest.”
Awakening Book: “Certainly.”
Their Awakening Books started to glow together before shooting a beam of light to Derry’s book. His book started to glow as his book began to consume the information. At the same time, Derry had his eyes closed. He was seeing from his book Mally and Penelope’s dream experiences. Once the book finished downloading the information, Derry opened his eyes with a look of shock on his face.
Derry: “Very interesting... We have been trying for years to find out where the Impure Order came from… From what you given me, you showed me that you have been there… You even understand parts of their dark plan… I wonder...”
Derry thought for a moment before speaking again.
Derry: “I want to figure out the type of energies you possess. I could read your body energies. I want to see if you are what I think you are.”
Mally and Penelope looked at each other before looking back at him.
Mally: “We don’t mind it.”
Derry snapped his fingers for two doors from between them to open up. Out came people dressed in yellow robes. They came to Mally and Penelope to give them each an orb. Mally and Penelope took it to hold it in their hands. The translucent orbs were made of a hard-plastic material.
Derry: “Now, concentrate your energies into your orb. We will be able read what type of energy your body possesses.”
Mally and Penelope held their orbs firmly while concentrating. They soon felt energies moving out from their bodies through their hands and into their orbs. Such energies moved through like liquid.
Each orb showed the colors of their energies: Penelope's energy was orange while Mally's energy was purple. When the orbs were completely filled up, they vibrated once. After that, the Mally and Penelope couldn't continue to fill their orbs. Mally studied her energy for a moment.
Mally: She appeared curious. “My energy looks purple... I remember every time I received damage; I was bleeding out energy but not blood...”
Derry: “When you were in the physical world, your bodies functioned on blood. In this existence, you now have Dream Bodies that function on energy. Notice how each of your energy types are different from one another. The type of energy you possess depends on what and who you are as a person. If you lose too much energy, your body will fade out from this existence...”
Penelope: “That’s what almost happened to me until I found the means to finish off my opponent...”
Derry signaled to his workers. The workers went over to take the orbs from Mally and Penelope. They went back to Derry so they could carefully study their energies. Mally and Penelope looked on with curiosity as to what they were doing.
Derry: He faced one of his workers. “What do you think?”
One of them closed his eyes as he worked on sensing their energies. After a few moments, he opened his eyes.
Worker: “Hmm... They are different. We dealt with Awakeners, Impure Troops and people in the past... Their energies are unique... They are the Destined Ones... Just like Theodore…”
Derry and his workers turned to face the Dream Club Members with wonder.
Derry: “I should have realized this much sooner. You are a special case. I can understand now why the Impure Order seems to be after you… It is because you are the Destined Guardians.”
Penelope: “Destined Guardians? What is that?”
Derry: “The Destined Guardians carry within them different types of energies that separate them from most people. This allows them to take on a major purpose... In the prophecy of the Dream Existence, it foretold the coming of a New Age of Awakening for this Galaxy. It promised peace and prosperity where Impurity and corruption will come to an end. This prophecy will happen by Six Destined Guardians.”
Penelope: She expressed excitement. “This means the Dream Club Members are destined to squash those monsters!!”
Mally: “I on the other hand could partially join in my friend’s excitement. This means that we have to be extremely cautious when dealing with the Impure Order again… It is after all our responsibility to stop them from harming Humanity and the Earth. This means that we are now wanted targets to them…”
Penelope: “Don’t worry about it too much Mally. The only person we have to worry about is Mansan. Once we are strong enough, we will be able to stop him…”
Mally: “I believe in being prepared.”
Derry: “You might have a major role to play in this existence but your place is in the physical world. Unfortunately, we are unable to help you to wake up to that existence. Until we could find a way to send you back, you are free to enjoy your lives here.”
Mally: “Very well. Thank you. Now, where is Theodore? Can we meet him?”
Derry: “Of course you can. My soldiers will send you to him.”
Mally: “Very much appreciated.”
The soldiers started to escort Mally and Penelope to where Theodore was. During their journey to Theodore, they got the chance to explore a small bit of the city.
The entire Earth City consists of six main streets that together formed a grid. Another street that goes around the city as a square was the city's boundary. Beyond the boundary of the city lay the forest which stretch for miles. The dry barren ground lay beyond the forest’s limits in all directions.
The city had an east area that had a lot of army camps around. It was known as the Army District. It was an area where soldiers are located. There was a watch tower where soldiers use to track for threats outside their city. Another place appeared to be a gym area where soldiers push their bodies to the limits. Homes resembling those found in the army could also be seen there.
The westward area of the city was known as the Entertainment District. It was where citizens enjoy themselves. The area had sport games, live attractions like amusement parks and performances of every kind.
At the south part of the city, there were buildings that appear like factories. The south part of the city was meant to provide electricity, pure water and heat to its citizens. It provides electricity that has been harnessed by the energies within people. It offers pure water to heal people of their pains and to energize their bodies. In that area, technological advancements were being formed as well. That area was known as the Technological District.
At the north side of the city, there were homes and condos where the citizens live. It was known as the Living District. The houses appeared similar to those found on physical Earth but with less features. Their houses were two floors in height with average-sized lawns and backyards. As for the condos, they were at least 10 floors high and were kept in one place.
The Living District has stores and shops that sell products and necessities. They might not have as much things that the physical world could provide. From the citizens of the city, it was good enough for them.
In the center of the city lay the Government District. It was an area where the ruling bodies were located. It was where people in powerful positions manage certain parts of the city. Derry’s Grand Hall was in the center of the city. Around it, there were buildings representing governmental bodies. Each governmental building takes authority over a certain important matter. It could be health, education, workforce or some else important.
In the Entertainment District, there was an impressive building. It appeared like a building that looked like it was moving. It was like it was a fluid structure. The lights on ground level shined blue light to every part of the building. It gave a bluish glow to the building.
Inside the building, an audition was taking place. The place looked more like a theatre arena with a stage in the middle. All the lights were focused on the stage. An eager audience watched in the darkness. They consist of 1000 people who were in a social and joyful mood.
The doors opened to reveal the soldiers escorting Mally and Penelope into the area. They observed the crowds of people sitting in their chairs. On their faces showed excitement for the performances that was about to happen.
Earth Soldier: He expressed a happy mood. “Why not you sit in one of the chairs here? Your friend’s performance is about to start.”
Mally and Penelope looked around to find two empty seats. The seats were located within the audience. They walked over and through the audience until they sat on their seats.
Mally: “This is it. We will get to see Theodore again after all this time.”
Penelope: “I guess his dream of becoming famous is coming true. I’m very happy for him.”
Mally and Penelope looked down to the stage. Near the stage, three judges in fancy and fashion designed outfits were in a good mood.
The first judge looked like a lovely blond female who appear to work as a model. With her looks alone, she could attract any man she wanted.
The second judge who was a male seemed to appear in movies and action films. He dressed in a way to look approachable. Just by his looks, it showed that he was in a movie scene.
The last judge was an older male with an impressive looking hat. He sat in a relaxed pose. With that sense of professionalism, he looked like he knew the entertainment business inside and out.
A happy Theodore could be seen walking to the stage. He waved to the audience resulting in cheers. Mally and Penelope looked on with happiness to see him. They saw him appearing happy and joyful. Theodore’s friends started to happily join in with the audience’s cheers.
Theodore soon stopped to face the audience and the judges. A look of excitement was on his face. One of the judges spoke.
First Judge: “Welcome back to the stage Theodore. You have really energized the audience in the first round.”
Theodore: “Thank you. I try my best!”
Judge: “Whenever you’re ready Theodore.”
Theodore started his performance. The audience became fully invested in what he was about to present them.
