Dreamweaver; Successor Of The Nightmare King

Episode 11: The Seventh Rule

EPISODE 11: THE SEVENTH RULE: 'UNDER THE WITNESS OF THE SUN, MOON ANDSTARS, A PROMISE MADE WILL BE KEPT!'

It was now four o'clock in the afternoon and I was at home with my family.

"Whew! That was some battle!" Keiran said.

"You did a pretty good job of protecting San, Keiran. Well done" my Mom said proudly.

"Well, I didn't really need to protect San" Keiran laughed nervously.

"San, what happened to you? Nearing the end of the battle, I sensed a sudden tremendous surge of energy. The energy I sensed was identical to that of your Gramps. Such an outburst of energy can only be unleashed by the Successor Of The Nightmare King" my Dad said.

"I released the seal of Endregen with Gramps' help. I will explain later but right now, I have somewhere else I need to be" I said, picked up my satchel and ran out of the house.

"Anyone want to guess where San's going now?" Keiran asked with a sly grin.

Roughly thirty minutes later, I had arrived in the field of Lunar Flowers. A part of me expected it to be completely empty and another part hoped Ciella would still be there. In that I was not disappointed.

"Before I approach though, I'd better check the Tome" I thought and removed the Tome.

Within it were these words;

"Congratulations Sanziri Nightbane (Junior), the Sixth Rule has on this day been fulfilled".

I sighed in depression.

"I thought as much. Now's not the time to cry about spilt milk. I should check out the next rule" I said and flipped the page.

These words were displayed boldly.

"THE SEVENTH RULE: 'UNDER THE WITNESS OF THE SUN, MOON AND STARS, A PROMISE MADE WILL BE KEPT!" the Rule stated.

"Guess I can't stay out late then" I thought with a smile and approached Ciella.

She seemed to be seated on the ground, lost in deep thought. I sat beside her. She appeared to be sad. I stared at her for a while and looked away.

"I'm sorry. I kept you waiting for this long and I missed the Solar Eclipse we were supposed to watch together" I said with a look of sorrow on my face.

"A lot of strange things happened while you were gone. The mobsters that attacked Dream City transformed into actual monsters and over the horizon, a scene of battle was displayed. The world from that scene appeared to be very different from our own. It was beautiful leaving out the rampaging monsters" Ciella said.

"So what kept you so busy?" Ciella asked.

"Urgent family business" I stated plainly.

"It was weird. In the scenes I saw, I thought I saw Keiran, your brother except he was cloaked in brilliant armour" Ciella said.

"Crap! She actually saw Keiran's face as we battled at the Eternal Mirror Gate!" I thought in alarm.

"Then I looked amongst his comrades and saw the Bloody Caped guy who downed the armoured tank. It was strange but for a moment, when I looked at him...I could see you" Ciella said.

My eyes widened in surprise.

Ciella laughed nervously and rubbed her hair.

"Crazy right?" she said.

I laughed nervously but said nothing.

"Anyway, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for this long and failing to keep my promise to see the Solar Eclipse together like I promised" I said.
