The Dreamer's Game

Chapter 13: The Hatred in Her Eyes

Chapter 13: The Hatred in Her Eyes

A nightmare is a benevolent thought form. That exists as a person's part of mind. They teach you through torment and torture. A nightmare would take someone with ocd and make them an obsessive nut job till they no longer felt the need to obsess. A nightmare would take a sex addict and make them feel raped even when it's consensual to make them feel like they don't need sex anymore. They are benevolent and they help you but it's painful as hell and Han- Jake created them at least according to Doctor Nightmare who just told Jake this.

"Do you really think your bro Zag? Would he hurt people? No matter the playing field?" Jake remembered the thoughts very well. It soon became clear that Jake had been self harming, attempting suicide, sometimes succeeding in order to save and heal his friends. What he had learned is that there was a plan all along, and do to recent events, it would happen again. Felix and Zag had a sit down confrontation with Jake. Jake explained to them everything, that he was god, that he splintered himself across space and time. That fiction here was mostly realities elsewhere where people were forgotten and placed. That the reason you could kin characters, have introjects with D.I.D, and have these fantasies- is because often times when people were forgotten about, they would be rewritten as fiction. This do to a promise Jake made as one of his godforms.

So Jake spilt the beans, about how he was God. That he split, across everything. That his plan was to give everyone splinters of himself, but that because something was always after him, things would be challenging for every aspect and because, not every aspect, has that same protection. He told Felix he knew him in an alt. Short for alternate version of Jake. However- things were weird. Jake Caloway had explained that he was the only thing I'm existence so he split himself and became the galaxies, stras, planets and pantheons and people. So every God, came from him. But that this time, only a few made the list. There was then some Apollo drama. Theirs always Apollo drama.

Jake had been in an alternate reality, respawned after a suicide atempt. There everyone learned everything. Nobody knew that Hercules Smith was one of his splits. He then took everything and exposed it as a test run. Knowing he'd be home in the hospital for a few days. Of course he did this listening to the song "running up that hill" on his orange mp3 on all his alts while in the mean timeline he was in a coma facing angels of death. Calloway then died, atended his own funeral, came back to life, and it was as if he had only relapsed and never died via what Jake called "tome magick.".

Jake often joked that he was a time traveler, that this had all happened before and even had a talk in his head with a bunch of fictional characters from comic books on some sort of app known as "dmii" which supposedly had "magick in the code" he was helping his friend Frost develop. On the outside Jake was normal but insane, what was really going on was much darker, and he knew what he was doing. Jake had planned this all over and over and over again, and he didn't know why. On top of all that nonsense Jake was being broadcast as "Kaito Sama" his japanese name on some magickal reality television show that would one day be adapted for the cw. Okay then Jake not crazy at all. Jake was making himself out to seem crazy intentionally for some kind of test and agreement he had with God, as well as to say the most outlandish things and nobody would be the wiser. Jake had sacrificed his sanity for his plan. And his plan? Save the world. Later that night Jake once again messed with time travel, you know now that he wasn't dead anymore.

Jake Caloway spent the night doing weird civil rights time travel. I don't know something about his hand tattoo. He has it every life. Anyways, the night concluded with Brisk Hallow being filled in by King Gwaine a mythological figure and being tortured by Nightmares who we've previously established. Brisk was told that Jake was to become a faerie. That humans who become fae often turn when wet, so the first time Jake takes a shower like this, he'll be very strange, or scared, or aroused.

Thor then at night scolded Frig about Jake Caloways' delusions. Scolding him about how convenient it was he could wear Balders braids, remember things Balders done, and get confused about things Balder would know. "Isn't that weird? Isn't that convenient?" Thor said. Then he pointed to Jake's recent self harm marks, and said he was hurting someone, "he wants his outside to match his inside" even pointing to Valley and Balder missing from Hell, and making note of how ironic that Maika Abend looked like Loki. "Isn't that weird?". It was an awkward conversation.

Later that night Gwainne and Brisk were with him and guided him through a weird daydream where he sprouted butterfly wings, and got scratched by a fae. "You're now a wherefair goodluck" Oh and he also saved someone from archery named Roy Hailey. Lot of work there Jake Caloway. Later that night a pilot was out and about, people who would fill Jake's role and possess him temporarily which Jake believed to be his alternate selves splintered through time magick now in his head- okay or people he saved from realities where he didn't such as Hercules Smith, and Paster, and Dionysus. Jake called this "The Pilot System" because they all took turns "piloting the giant robot" which was Jake's body while Jake couldn't handle things. While someone was out and Jake was dead asleep in his mind or something, Zues raped him and got off to it. Up until this point Zues was his literal father and a good friend. On top of all that, Jake had been put under a curse by Cupid and the Nightmares for people to be graphic about their desires for him, despite Jake being chubby and by Jake's own definition "Rather ugly". Most people lusted after Jake- already thinking the asexual was a flirt when he wasn't. Now he just started noticing and he hated it.

He spent the next few days- with again weird civil rights time travel, prepping himself with vlogs and secretly making arrangements with Ayer Ayer and helping out a certain cat esc group, of which his rank was turtle. He saved that Hailey boy's life and handled the folly that resulted from it with a bitter and naive self loathing. He called Hera repeatedly trusting her and reporting Zeus' rapes to her. It wasn't that he was okay with being raped, it was that he knew this was the ritual of hte 5 suns of which he still hadn't fully understood. He really didn't want to be king of the gods. His birthday the 24th was soon and he was desperately trying to figure everything out so he could go to the city of the gods, he was told he'd be going directly after his birthday. He met with Maika on the astral who filled him in, he went off on Summer Ink, his ex friend who did some weird pilot stuff, threatened to dox him and more.

People were starting to remember Jake and what he defined as his "alts" alternate versions of him alive and dead, who were identical in face and sometimes name, and only ever differed superficially. Summer had been a D.I.D system and she was hurting him so his alter "Time D." cursed teh ever loving fuck out of her to which Maika scolded but Jake defended going off on a rant about how "I don't give a flying fuck who you are. I don't give a shit who you are. I am not afraid of Summer the Spice Queen". Then he sipped his soda, it was always soda with Jake Caloway.

Finally he slept with Hermes wrinkly. Which is Ironic because according to the "delusions" of Jake Caloway he was both Lone Strider and Hercules Smith. "The only one allowed to kick my ass is me!" He would report. Jake had a long talk with Abend who informed him his parents and or family knew him in an alt and Maika told him they placed a portal in Woodstock Park, and they would be able to get to the city through it. Jake had used up one of his trips keeping Roy from doing but that was another topic for another day.

Jake ordered mexican food and continued to bring people back from the dead, as well as monitor those who were coming back via what he called "angel shit". For some strange reason revelations had started and some of his pilots were involved. Jake was lost, confused, hurt but he was doing the hero thing and nobody could stop him, for better, or for worse. He picked up his Justice League of America book and "Plato's" republic and tried desperately to fall asleep reading. For some reason as of late he couldn't. Cupid attempted to rape him but his pilot Decker, stepped in and took the pain for Jake mocking Cupid causing him to stop. Then Jake's former rapist Clad Prince stopped by and he used money and other methodology to push them away. Thanks to astral friends, Jake could now see ever thought, every kin, ever alt, every lie,every intrusive thought people were having of him and instantly know it. Including the one the only- Hercules Smith, and it was a lot.
