Zero looked up to see a sky made up of countless eyes all looking down at him. The eyes were gigantic and instead of a single pupil within the eye were countless pupils shifting and moving to make it seem as if there were an endless amount. As he looked upon this sight he was surprised to find that he wasn’t worried or feeling nervous about these eyes. Rather he seemed to be comfortable in this space as if it were made just for him.
“What a weird space you’ve created here.” said a mysterious voice
Zero turned to identify the origin of the voice but found no one there. As Zero looked around he notice the eyes were also looking around for the owner of the voice. He yelled out, “Who are you?”
“Me? You can just call me Dream.” said the voice
“Well then Dream why have you brought me here?” asked Zero
“Looks like you’re misunderstanding the situation. I haven’t brought you anywhere you passed out and entered my realm. As my namesake says you’re simply dreaming.” said Dream
“So I’m dreaming then why are you in my dream?” asked Zero
“This isn’t your dream. This is my realm and I allow all to come here to rest and create whatever they desire while they’re here. Your unique creation simply caught my eye so I came to check it out.” said Dream
“Then how do I leave this place?” asked Zero
“Aww leaving already you just got here. I’d like to spend more time with you.” said Dream
“That sounds creepy since I can’t even see you.” said Zero
“Ah please forgive me I rarely take a physical form. Give me a second.” said Dream
A second later a handsome bearded man with gray shaggy hair and sparkling gray eyes appeared. He stretched and move his body around a bit before turning to face Zero and asked, “How do I look?”
“Like a creepy bearded old man. So where was that exit again?” said Zero
Dream started laughing at Zero’s answer and said, “You’re a funny kid I haven’t laughed in ages. As for the exit, I can make it for you but I’ll need something in exchange.”
Zero looked at Dream for a while before asking, “What do you want?”
“I don’t need anything from you now so I’ll wait until you’re older.” said Dream with a smile
Zero didn’t like the idea of writing a black cheque for this person. All his instincts were telling him that if he made this deal he would regret it so he shook his head. Dream laughed at Zero and pointed behind him and said, “I was just messing with you there’s the exit.”
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Zero looked in the direction that Dream pointed and asked, “Why are there 6 doorways?”
“Well there are multiple ways to leave a dream so pick.” said Dream with a smirk
Zero sighed and asked, “What's wrong with these doors?”
“Nothing they all lead out of this dream. There is a difference between them but that’s inconsequential to a demigod. If you were a mortal then I’d worry.” said Dream
“So I won’t die or be harmed by picking any of these doors?” asked Zero
Dream walked over and place his on Zero’s shoulder and said, “I promise on my name Dream that no harm shall come to you no matter the door you pick. You might not know this but a pledge like this holds some power when your real name is used. So don’t worry kid and head home now. I look forward to your next visit.”
Zero walked towards the doorways and stared at them for a few seconds before wishing he had something to throw and check. Dream laughed as he watched this distrustful kid try to figure which gate was safe. Normally he would consider it offensive for a lowly demigod to judge his words as untrustworthy but he genuinely liked his nephew so he didn’t let it bother him.
Zero finally picked a doorway and attempted to touch the doorway and found that after his hand went through nothing happened. Zero then turned to Dream and said, “I’ll be leaving now and I hope we won’t ever meet again.”
“I doubt that kid. I think we’ll meet again in 4 months so I look forward to it.” said Dream as he appeared in front of Zero and pushed him through the doorway.
“Ah, I forgot to mention the difference between the doorways was the amount of time that passes in the world outside this realm. A door might lead to 5 minutes in the future and another might lead to 400 years in the future. None of that is a problem for a demigod who has immortality.” said Dream as he chuckle explaining the trick no that Zero was gone and could no longer hear it.
Zero found himself floating in his dimension although it had changed quite radically. Zero grabbed his head that was in pain from the overload of notifications of all the changes that had occurred to his body. Zero didn’t have the time to read all these so he skipped all the notifications and simply looked at his status.
