Eli was in a nightmare of his own

Eli was in a nightmare of his own. In that nightmare, he sees himself alone in a forest. With only the dead bodies of his mom, dad, aunt and his new friends.

Of course Lockwood woke up. And he needed to do some workout to get it out of his mind. So he heads to the gym to work out. Eli prefers to work out either in a tank top or without any shirts/tank top at all. Today, he's without either of them. Even for his age, his muscular body is impressive.

While striking the punching bag multiple times, Rafael arrives at the gym and sees the school's alpha really letting that punching bag have it as he sends it flying and it hits the wall.

"Damn!" Raf is surprised by Eli's strength. "Someone pissed in your coffee, bro?"

Eli sees Raf and sighs. "More like bad dreams. What's odd though is that they felt real. You thought it was a Night Hag, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I'm not sure if that's the monster that attacked us in our dream." Eli found it odd such a being can attack them from a dream. This monster is after the urn. But the question they should be asking themselves is how is a Night Hag gonna carry that urn. "Remember there are other mythological creatures that can represent dreams." That's when Eli realized something.

It was a good thing he studied mythologies before coming here. Norse, Celtic, Egyptian, Roman and Greek among many to memorize certain creatures. He decides to speed off, leaving Raf wondering about what the alpha had discovered.

🐺🧛🏻‍♂️

Eli showered and went to the library where he sees Derek and Landon. Half the school has been evacuated and right now he needs to find a book.

Derek and Landon see Eli, and call out to him. "Hey, Eli. I thought you'd be in the gym with..."

"Raf? I was. Only when I realized something." Eli looked and he found what he was looking for.

"What is it?" Derek asked.

"I don't think what we're dealing with is a nighthag. Take a look at this."

Landon and Derek looked at what appears to be some sort of winged creature. That's when the former recognized it. "It's a Oneiroi."

"Yeah. That's what I thought too."

"A shapeshifting demon from Greek Mythology. We need to show this to Doctor Saltzmen." Derek suggested.

🐺🧛🏻‍♂️

The three boys found Alaric and Landon calls him. "Dr. Saltzman."

""Dr. Saltzman, I have changed my mind. "I've decided to take you up on your offer and get the hell out with every other sane person here."" Alaric assumed that was what Landon was going to say.

"Really Ric? Come on." Eli shakes his head at the headmaster.

"No, actually, I took your advice and I stayed busy, and I think I found something. Or Eli found something." Landon remembered that it was Eli who discovered what they were really dealing with.
