NiGHTS Journey of Awakening

Chapter 10: The Mysterious Dream Door

That same night, Claris is sleeping in her room, and soon she begins to dream and finds herself at the Dream Gate. Will, Helen, and Elliot arrive in the Dream Gates as well.

Claris hurries over, "Hey guys."

"Hey Claris, glad you made it," Elliot says.

"I'm glad too, but we still have to talk to Owl," Claris says.

Will sadly says, "Yeah. We're still unable to find NiGHTS. I'm getting very worried."

"Don't worry Will, I'm sure we'll find her," Helen says.

"She's right. We still got tomorrow night's Talent Show at the Twin Seed Festival. We've been practicing for days and we did a great job with the performance. I'm sure NiGHTS will hear us," Claris says.

"Yeah. You're right. So how is Hope been doing?" Will asks.

"She's been doing fine. Though, she's been a bit concerned about something. I'm starting to wonder if Hope might be trying to gain her memories," Claris says.

"I'm sure she's fine. Though you have to admit, she still struggles to gain back her memories. June said it will take time, but it seems that she is still having trouble accessing her memories," Elliot says.

"I'm sure we'll figure it out. For now, let's go look for Owl," Claris says.

Suddenly, they hear someone, "Hoo hoo. I'm here. I'm here."

The group turns their heads to see Owl flying towards them in a frantic state.

"Hello visitors, you must come quickly. I have found something particular," Owl says.

"What is it?" Helen asks.

"It will be best to show you," Owl says.

Owl then flies around the Dream Gate that leads them to a door. However, this door is a little different. The door is a nice brown color, but also has painted silver and purple on its swirls and design. On top of the door has an emblem of a flute with a musical note.

"What does this door lead to, Owl?" Helen asks.

"Oh, I'm afraid I do not know. This door just appeared just the other night and I haven't been able to figure out where it came from," Owl says.

"Did you look inside?" Claris asks.

"Not quite. I was trying to figure out who the door was. At first I thought it might have been one of yours, but I don't feel your presences coming from it," Owl says.

"So it might be someone else's?" Will says, curiously.

"Let's go inside and see if we can find out who this door is," Elliot says.

"Sounds reasonable, but we must stay together. We don't know what could be behind this door," Owl says.

The group nods their heads agreeing to the idea, and slowly approaches the door. When they climb the small steps and reach the door, Elliot reaches his hand out and grabs the handle. He then turns the knob and opens the door. After that, they walk inside the room one by one. The room is bright and they become blinded for a little.

When they open their eyes, they are surprised to see there isn't much of anything. Most of this area is like an empty white board that hasn't been drawn on.

"What is this place?" Claris asks.

"It looks almost like an abyss of some kind, but we're able to walk on it," Helen says.

Helen turns her head and notices, "There is something there."

Helen walks over to see there is a certain space that has green trees, flowers, vines, bushes, and other that is a forest. It's more like a large patch of some kind.
