Ajax lives a mundane life.
Then, one day, he meets North.
And, it seems they are starting to fall in love.
The problem is that only Ajax can see North.
A supernatural boy's love story.
"You've been here several times over. And yet, you act as if you do not remember what the Land of Hypnos is all about." The child answered.
"Honestly, I do not recall anything. Besides, why is it dark?"
"Because you think it is dark, that is why you can see only darkness now."
"How can you see in the dark?" Ajax asked the child.
The child stopped walking and laughed.
"What is so funny?" Ajax was puzzled by the child.
"You are. First, you say you do not remember this place. Next, you think I am seeing only darkness as you are."
"Well, what do you see?" Ajax asked a bit irritated.
"Oh, a lot of things. I see the stream, the trees, the valley and everything in it."
"We are in a valley?"
"I am. You're not." The child replied. "You are in the darkness."
"How come we are in two different places but we are together?" Ajax was getting more confused.
"You are really silly. Only you can answer that." The child said. "The Land of Hypnos is anything you want it to be. I guess, you want the Land of Hypnos to be dark. That's why you are seeing the darkness.
"So, how do I see what you are seeing?" Ajax was curious.
"Well, you have to want to see what I am seeing."
"That's quite confusing. How do I do that?"
"You have to want to see what I am seeing." The child only repeated what he had said.
Ajax remained silent as the child continued to guide him. As he followed the child, his mind was trying to understand what the child meant. "I have to want to see what he is seeing." Ajax said to himself.
"Aha!" Ajax exclaimed.
"So, have you figured it out?" The child asked excitedly.
"I think, I have."
"The Land of Hypnos is the land of dreams!" Ajax said.
Suddenly, the darkness faded away and he saw what the child was seeing. He looked at the child and was surprised with what he saw.
