The following day, we gathered at the Avatar Of Pain Game Studios in the Pendragon Boutique.

"It's time" I said as we placed our Virtual Headsets over our heads.

We found ourselves back in the Hall Of Light.

"You've returned. You look refreshed. That's good" my Dad said.

"You know the duty of the Nightbane House, don't you San? After all it's in your name" my Dad said.

"The Nightbane House exists to curse the Darkness, to be the Light that scourges the Darkness" I said.

"Yes, and also to act as a guide for all the other Dream Knight Houses" Keiran added.

"Exactly, you are both right. Of all the Debilitating Stats the Weaver Of Calamity could inflict upon you, be particularly wary of the Debilitating Stat 'Fear'. That stat strengthens the Weaver Of Calamity" my Dad warned.

We nodded. We stepped out of the Hall Of Light. The doors we stepped out of disappeared and larger doors appeared in its place bearing the same images the first door had.

"Ready guys?" I asked.

We all took in deep breaths and sighed.

"Ready" they said.

I grabbed the doors and pushed them open. We walked into a Hall quite similar to the one we had just left but much larger. On one side of the Hall were floating Lights quite similar to Stars and Moons. In this part of the Hall, there were rivers and lush vegetation. It was also warm and humid. We stared towards the other side of the Hall. There was nothing but darkness just like a wide gaping abyss.

"The Weaver Of Calamity is probably waiting for us there" I said.

"We can't just walk into a field with Zero Visibility when an enemy that powerful could be concealed within the darkness" Saito said.

"You're right Saito" I said.

"I see you've finally made it all the way to this part of the Mountain where I am concealed. You would have been wiser to take the Armoured Tank I sent after you as a warning" a sinister voice said.

"That was your doing?" I asked.

"Did you think the Tails Of The Weaver Of Calamity acted independent of the Weaver Of Calamity? My initial purpose was to capture you San since I failed to capture your father and your siblings were under the protection of that great anomaly who calls himself the Nightmare King. Once I failed to capture you with the Armoured Tank, I waited for my next opportunity. The rare Celestial Event that would blur the lines between realities allowing for legions of Nightmares to invade the realm of Reality. To my utter shock, you overcame that trial as well and I was unable to capture you. Your father and grandfather realizing my intentions decided to create a Virtual Mirror Of The Real and Dream Worlds, this so called Game you call XCalibur AOP 2! They knew that for as long as you remained within this realm, I would have to take my attention from the World Of Reality and focus it all on capturing you here" the sinister voice said.

"Why are you so fixated on me?" I asked.

"Not on you particularly. Any of your siblings would have served my purposes just as well. My only purpose is to unleash Zanbongfar, the Deplorable Dream born out of a fusion of Light and Darkness. Once that is achieved, both the Real and Dream Worlds will be transformed into a perpetual Nightmare. You...were just the most vulnerable" the sinister voice said.

"I see. You do know the antagonist of any good story typically spills his plans to the protagonist right before his defeat don't you?" I asked with a smirk.

"What are you trying to say?" the sinister voice asked.

"I'm saying you Zanböngfar...just triggered a Death Flag!" I said and clenched my fists.
