Knights of the Nightmares

The Truth and The Mysteries

"Tell me the truth Jasson"
Last day before the weekend at school,Ella went through some incidents that she could never imagine. That day after going home she searched about the accident and found out Mashiro's picture. And that was out and out him whom Ella had known for many days. She again tried to remember what happened in that labyrinth. What she recalled was not very pleasant; she saw Mashiro was about to die in her nightmare. She couldn't bring him out and that boy on her tab's screen who looked exactly like him was killed on a car crash after she had that nightmare. And that Laisa girl who was so confident about her gibberish made Ella all puzzled. She had a feeling that there must be something that Jonathan knew;he had the answers,so after meeting him at the class Ella charged him.

"Look Ellaina, I think you are confusing something, I am not the person you are looking for. My name is not Jasson and I don't think that I have anything to hide from you."
"You are not being truthful, Jasson because when you lie you constantly shake your right foot and look you are exactly doing the same thing"
" ummmm....lots of people do that.Whhatt's sss..so special about that, ha?" Jasson mumbled.
"Why are you making yourself miserable, admit that you saw me in your dreams. We may not be best buds but yes we did lots together, at least I deserve the truth." Ella couldn't restrain her anymore. She thought she would punch Jasson if he started to laugh but he didn't.
"Ella, it's better not to know. Be ignorant, why would you make your life troublesome? There are lots of things to do. Live fully, live freely. Once you know, you can't forget anything"
Ella couldn't say anything for a while. She couldn't think what to say. Things were tangling inside her mind. Then she cleared her throat-
" I want to know. It's my choice"
"Think again Ella, things will not be the same after knowing the truth. You may not even believe the whole thing. You cant even tell anyone about this. You will go crazy inside."
" I am strong enough. And you are saying that I will go crazy after knowing, isn't it enough to go crazy when you know the boy whom you see dying in your dream actually had died after that?"

At break time Ella looked for Jasson but couldn't find him. She searched the playground, library, canteen again and again however he wasn't anywhere. Even he didn't join the classes after the break. She asked his friends, no one had any answer. All the way back home she thought what could happen to him and when he got out from the class? Even at home she couldn't calm her mind down so she thought to have a walk with Lucky.
Ballpin park is a beautiful place to walk. Lucky was really happy to go outside after many days. He was running after the birds, playing with balls. Ella was happy too, fresh gentle bridge washed out her worries. She couldn't think anything apart from this beautiful spring afternoon. She sank into the afternoon glee.
"Hey! Watch out!"
Ella suddenly came into her sense and turned around. She was surprised to see Jasson on a cycle.Ella stopped-
"Where did you go, suddenly? I looked for you everywhere!"
"Emergency" Jassson answered calmly.
Though Ella was dying inside to know everything, she tried to stay calm.
"Well Ella, are you serious about this?
"Yes, I am. I want to know everything"
"Okay...as you are determined... I have no other way.Make one promise, whatever you are gonna listen never ever tell anyone else. If you do, you will be in great trouble"
" I am not a kid, Jasson"
"Our dreams, nightmares are not just abstract things. These are all reality, whatever happen in our sleep it's not just we see things, rather we are wholly part of these. We are the Knights of the Nightmares"
Ella wasn't sure, whether she should leave the place or not.She got angry on herself to get confused over those silly things and now this Jonathan boy is making fun of her. Though she stayed and thought to see how far could this brat go!
"We are not alone, there are many like us. We are Knights under the Council of Three Maestro. We are like a league. The mysterious things we see in our dreams, the places we visit all are real; the adventures we do,every single of them is true for us. We all fight together to protect our kingdom from our enemies. You will be amazed.."
"Ummm....Jonathan, I guess that's enough"
"Sorry...what?" Jasson suddenly mumbled because of the interruption.
"Anything wrong? Oh..you are not believing me"
Ella's face was enough to understand
" I told you na? I knew it!"
"Well, Jonathan, my bad..this is all my fault, but at least you could try a little to make your story credible! You wanted to make fun of me.. Okay,but this! I don't have any interest to listen to your bluffs anymore. Try someone else. BYE!"
Ella started to rush
"Ella, listen to me. You can't leave now without knowing it fully. You will be in great danger" Jasson stepped quickly but Ella wasn't likely to stop.
"Ella just answer one question then you go"
"WHAT?" Ella stopped furiously.
"Where is your Marks of Oleen?"
"Mark of...!?" (What's wrong with this boy!?)"
" I mean there are two star like mark on your body. It can be anywhere. Am I right?"
Ella's face was changing, she was getting paler. There are two marks like star on her hip, but how can Jonathan know about this?
"Ella, where are those? Show me"
"Huu?? Yes,mmmm...but how could you know about this?"
"Because I have the same marks, look-"
Jasson folded his sleeve of his left hand. He had the same star like marks on his left arm.
"...but Jona...Jasson..what does this mark mean?"
"We are connected with this mark. People like us all have the same marks. What I've told you it's all true Ella. You must believe me. Because once you know the truth you declare your identity to all your friends and to your enemy too. You are a knight, a righteous member of The Guild of Star".
The sun was hiding under the world, the red and gold light of twilight were spreading everywhere. This world is mysterious, and under the mysterious sky two weirdoes were discussing their very own little secret beside a barking dog. Nothing is impossible in this great, big and beautiful planet.
