Somnium [Dreamwalker Series : Book One]

Prologue

It all started from a dream one night.

I ran as fast as I could. I ran through every hallway. Every time I saw a corner, I just ran. My doppelganger was coming at me, for I had one of the items (or treasures as they call it) which was precious to their world. Its name was Dissimulo. It allowed the user to hide his/her real face by changing one fact to another, many anonymous faces.

-Dissimulo: disguise in Latin

She kept on chasing me, but when she tried to catch me she failed. At that time, I didn't exactly know the reason why. I was pulled down the floor like being pulled into the water and absorbed into my shadow. I did that countless times, and the last time she reached her hand to get me. Then my eyes were open. I was in my bed, in my room.
