The New Light of Hope: Books I to VI.

Chapter XIX: All Known Information.

Aurora:

Date: July 19th, 2019.

The next day, we all met up at Firefly Forest and began to discuss the ongoing situation. "Something just isn't adding up here!" Bellatrix yowled with fury. "What do you mean, Bellatrix?" Summer asked her in response, she looked at her and answered: "I'm saying that everything that's been going on recently just doesn't line up to make enough sense for us to figure out! It's been days since we started having these dreams and yet we still don't know or understand why any of this is even happening in the first place!"

Jemma: "Calm down, Bella. Surely we'll figure something out sooner or later. Sadie and I are already doing our research on this and we can confirm that this sort of phenomenon isn't really relevant to what's known as psychosomatic dreaming' it's a form of a rare dream occurrence where if your dream involves getting hurt in some form of way, you can actually feel the pain in real life, but it's scientifically impossible to wake up with an injury of some sort on your body upon having these sort of dreams. Something like this hasn't happened since the Dream and Reality Effect Experiment that was conducted in the 1980s which then led up to the Lucella Laboratory Incident of 1990, where over a total of twenty; two scientists -including the ones who were performing this experiment at the time- were killed by the test subject and a total of eleven scientists were fatally injured."

Bellatrix: "Are these people stupid or something? What made them think that performing an experiment on rare dream occurrences would be a smart idea to begin with?!"

Jemma: "I honestly have no idea myself, but I can highly agree with you that it was in fact the most stupidest thing science has ever done in the history of the Scientific Method. So, they might as well stick to Biology or some other branch of science that's less harmless to people and animals alike, to be honest."

Summer: "I think I remember Autumn telling me something about that when I was around ten or so. I think the son of one of the scientists who died during th event works at the police station."

Jemma: "But that's not the point. The point here is; something like this hasn't happened over the past twenty-eight years now."

Bellatrix: "Then how is it that we're the only one experiencing this sort of thing now?"

Sadie: "I think all of this might have something to do with Diane and Gabriella since they're the rulers of the Forest of Rotten Life and Blood and the Corrupted Souls Realm."

Amethyst: "It could be a possibility that they may have something to do with this and they probably do as well."

Jemma: "Well, I think it might be true but that could just be me who thinks that."

Summer: "Ya know, kid, now that you've mentioned it, it might actually be possible that everything that's been going on recently has to do with the two working for TIO and for the rest of the Diablos as well."

Aurora: "I would think so, too. What about you, Milly? Do you think Diane and Gabriella might have something to do with all of our dream occurences and the animals' dreams occurences as too?"

Amethyst:

Knowing that Aurora was referring to the underworld and knowing that she was training with beings in that same world, Milly plainly replied: "Kind of, but not in the sense that y'all believe that that's what's been going on recently."

Bellatrix: "Well, by the sound of it, I think it's a pretty logical explanation if you ask me."

Milly: "Now, now, Bella, we don't know for sure if that's really the case or not, it could be something else, we don't know."

Bellatrix: "Well, I agree with Sadie on what she believes is going on right now."

Milly: "Fair enough, I suppose."

I walked over to Milly and she looked at me in the eyes. "You got lucky just now." I muttered to her. She just looked at me in dismay, but didn't say anything to me in response and kept quiet as we continued on with our discussion. "Has anything else happened in the Divisions lately?" Aurora asked us. I approached her and replied: "Well, yesterday, there was a scuffle between SandFur and GingerTuft about who was responsible for AlderFang's death and it took the strength of me, Milly, BeetlgeLegs, and IceBelly to break up the fight, but suffered from only a few scratches and cuts, but nothing too severe. But other than that, not much has happened so far."

Aurora: "I see."

Amethyst: "What's been going on in the Forest Spirits Division?"

Aurora: "Well, Chief ArrowHeart acted strange. Yesterday, he was extremely tired and burned out due to the fact that he hadn't gotten enough sleep in the last two days; StealthHunter reported to me that his bedding was dry and old and that he was so tired that when they replaced the bedding, he didn't make another comment to anyone and just flopped right down onto his new bedding and fell asleep."

Amethyst: "He must've had a dream similiar to the ones we're having."

Aurora: "I think he may be as well and he just doesn't want to talk about it."

Amethyst: "Maybe so, but I believe that it would be best if we didn't antagonize any of the animals to get try and get answers from them. Lord knows that these animals may already be stressed out about the situation."

Aurora: "Agreed. Though, we weren't really planning on doing that at all, just asking them simple 'yes or no' questions will do and that's we've always done it and that's how we'll always do it."

Amethyst: "Exactly."

Abigail (to Aurora and Amethyst): "We're never going to do that to any of the animals, but if it's a tresspasser who refuses to leave the territory for unknown reasons, then perhaps it might be necessary to do so."

Amethyst: "Well, not all the time, but if they act and behave suspicous enough, then that may be a good time to ask them a question or two if they wish to talk."

Milly: "Well, of course we're not going to make an exception or two when it comes to the Insolence."

Aurora: "Definitely not."

And so we went on to talk more about the matter at hand until the sun was about to set.
...
Bellatrix:

"Well, it's beginning to grow late so we should propbably start heading back home. If anyone experiences anything tonight or the night following the next one, then we need to let each other know as soon as possible. Stay everyone and we'll meet up tomorrow to help with assisting the forest again." Aurora concluded- all of us then went back home. But when I called it a day that night when I went to sleep, I would later have a vision that was so menacing that I find it too hard to even forget about.
