NiGHTS Journey of Awakening

Chapter 1: Night Battle Royal

On a bright and sunny day in Nightopia, the story begins at a beach that has a calm blue ocean that moves to the shore and back to the water. Along with creatures who either play at the sand or splash in the sea. Along with a beautiful sound of music. Along the shore, there is a young nighttime residence and protector of Nightopia, NiGHTS. The purple jester is playing her music on a rock as small Nightopians play as they listen to the music. Of course, some of them sit in front of NiGHTS to listen to her play. She continues to play her music with the air like she is playing a flute.

As NiGHTs play, she says in thought, "It sure has been peaceful in Nightopia lately. However, there hasn't been that many visitors arriving from the waking world either. I wonder how Elliot and Claris are doing? And Will and Helen? It's been a while since they came to this world. Of course, in the waking world, I assume it might be longer. I do hope I get to see them again... someday."

NiGHTS continues to play her music with her little friends. Suddenly, the Nightopias become scared and make frightened sounds causing NiGHTS to stop playing to see the Nightopians fly in fright.

"What's wrong? Why are you running away?" NiGHTS asks.

"Ah NiGHTS... you seem to be having a peaceful time with the Nightopians today," A voice says.

NiGHTS quickly turns her head to see her sibling, Reala. A Nightmaren and chief inforfers of the Nightmare army.

NiGHTS sighs and asks, "What do you want this time, Reala? Leave me alone."

"Don't be so quick to brush me off so quickly. After all, you shouldn't be so harsh to your sibling," Reala says.

NiGHTS turns her head away from her sibling with her arms crossed, "Hmph!"

"You still haven't changed, have you?" Reala questions.

He then flies to NiGHTS so they are face to face.

"It's not like I'm here to chit chat anyway," Reala says.

"I suspect you aren't just here to talk, and Wizman sent you to take me back. Well, you can tell him to forget it. I'm not going back with you to him and you're going to make me," NiGHTS says as she hops off the rock and on the sand. Then takes her leave.

However, Reala grabs NiGHTS by her arm and gives it a strong tight grip. NiGHTS struggles to break away from Reala's grip.

"Now NiGHTS, it is not very polite to simply walk away like that. However, you are correct. Master Wizman ordered me to bring you back with me and I will do so," Reala says.

NiGHTS continues to struggle to his grip, "Reala! Let go!"

NiGHTS is able to release her arm from Reala's grip. Reala smirks and then chuckles.

Confused, NiGHTS demands, "What so funny?!"

"I have to wonder how much longer you're going to keep up your act of rebellion. It won't change the fact that you will always be a Nightmaren," Reala says.

NiGHTS grits her teeth and turns her back on Reala. Reala then flies to NiGHTS so he will be in front of her.

"You do know that I speak the truth, NiGHTS. You cannot change the being that you, no matter how much you defied Master Wizeman," Reala says.

NiGHTS crosses her arms and looks down towards the sand. It's anything but seeing her silbing's face.

"Even though you wanted to protect Nighttopia, you will always be a Nightmarean. Created to collect Ideyas from young visitors and to serve under Master Wizeman," Reala says.

"Shut up Reala! I'm not going to come back to become his puppet! Stealing Ideyas from innocent visitors is wrong! I will do whatever it takes to stop you and any of the Nightmarean who comes here!" NiGHTS angrily says.
