Epilogue
Going into battle with Rizor took its toll on me. When I saw my mother walk up the steps it proved all my efforts to be worth it. I could only describe that moment as a dream. A figment of my imagination showing me my deepest wants.
It seems like a happy ending, but something doesn't sit right with me. I'm happy, too happy and I know there's a storm coming. I can feel it in my bones. As I stand in front of my full body mirror and look at the dress Morgan and I got from the mall yesterday. I don't feel like how I used to before. I feel different, I feel at peace. My thoughts are finally at bay and my mind is free to think frivolously.
The dress I'm wearing is cut in a sweetheart neckline and is covered with silver diamantes. The train of the dress is an oceanic blue and my gloves are silver and come up to my elbows.
A slight knock on my door gets me to turn around and see my mother standing there. "Wow," she says and a sing

...The night it all started...A ray of light shines on where I stand. The rest of my surroundings are plunged into looming darkness. The only sound is the sound of water dripping from the ceiling.A cold gust of wind whips past me, lifting every hair off my skin and leaving goosebumps in its trail. I turn in a full circle to take in my surroundings and then I see it. Something is moving in the impending darkness and it's watching me."I have waited so long for this," I hear it say and the figure in the darkness swiftly moves again."Wh..who said that?" I stutter as I begin to turn in a circle. I try to catch a glimpse of it in the darkness and when I see it. I can't help the gasp of terror that escapes my lips. A creature standing tall like a man but with no human facial features lurking in the darkness. His red glowing eyes shining as he keeps them fixed on me.I take a

Seven years later...I look up at the dark somber sky, its two moons illuminate the realm. It's a vast, starless void and I believe the sky alone holds many secrets.For one, the reason why the realm of the night has two moons instead of one. Klara told me it's because each moon represents a celestial being's presence in the realm.The red moon represents the ruler of the afterlife who is said to be trapped somewhere in this realm due to injuries he sustained eons ago, but how true can the tale of the red moon be when it was practically passed through a grapevine.The silver moon represents the moon goddess, the goddess of the night. Her moon is the brightest and is the only provider of light in this realm.I look at my partner Orion who is watching the dream sea

Wearing the emerald moonstone is like my equivalent of sitting in a naughty corner. It's the realms most nauseating feeling. Instead of jumping it's like my consciousness is trapped in a dark room unable to escape. So there is no point in laying back in my bed and closing my eyes. The notion would seem tedious.I sit at my work desk in my bedroom trying to finish all my homework. I manage to somehow complete my paper on the brain and move on to English. I hear a slight knock on my bedroom door. "Zel, can I come in?" Klara asks."Nope," I say and turn back to write my essay. She doesn't listen to me because she comes right in with a tray of food. She sets the tray of pancakes and hot chocolate on the side of my table and the sweet smell of chocolate mixing with vanilla and peppermint is enough to have my stomach growling and mouth salivating.'Don't look at it,' I tell myself.But it's so beaut

The silence is spine-tingling. The suspense has Ri and I turning around with each step we take forward. The place looks like a run-down mansion or a very small hotel."Watch my back," Ri says and goes for the handle of the door. The door creaks open and a warm red light illuminates the darkroom. It's a fireplace. The crackling fire fills the silence. We walk into the room and a scream erupts causing us to freeze on the spot."Ahhhhhhhh! Omg, oh, my freaking god! Like what the, I can't even right now!," A feminine scream rips through the air and I turn around just in time to see someone run past the doorway of the room we in. The house settles into silence again and I take a cautious step forward."Let's go find the girl," I whisper to Ri. We walk back into the main large room. There are two doors at the far end of the room. Ri and I share an uneasy look for we know what it means."This is crazy. Don't you

"Breathe," I say to a now hyperventilating Morgan."Zel do you realize that this is all just so messed up," she says, frustrated, throwing her hands up in the air."I know." Well, what else was I supposed to say? 'Morgan I have been doing this for years now and I don't even understand how it fully works.' No, that will freak her out even more.When I glance over at her, she is walking with her head down. Think lines etch its way onto her forehead as she stares hard at the concrete.She picks her head up to speak, opening her mouth slightly to talk, but when I look at her with expectation, she puts her head back down again. She does this a few times before I start to get frustrated."Morgan just spit it out," I blurt impatiently, and she lets out a ragged breath.A breeze drifts past us and she shudders wrapping her arms around her body.

"Behind you Ri," I yell to Orion and he sees a little too late. The tiny creature jumps on his back and he fumbles back. "What the hell?" he says stumbling back as the thing covers his eyes with its claws. "Zel get this thing off me!" "Okay just remain calm remember our training." "I'm calm, I'm calm but I would appreciate it if you could get this thing off my back." We are surrounded by creatures that look like mini demons. They have long horns that curl at the tips and wings on their backs. Their bodies look like it's made out of ash. Their eyes are huge glowing red orbs that are bulging out of their heads. "Alright stand still." "Don't hit me," he shrieks. I raise my hands and aim it at the creature but Ri, keeps moving around and the thing is now laughing. Its voice is so deep and demonic for its tiny body. What are these things?

I stand on the realm bridge watching as the chaos ensues in the sea below. The sea of dreams is lighting up in orange smoke. There is barely a spot that's midnight blue anymore.Klara used to tell me about a time. A time when there was peace. A time when mortals could go to sleep and wake up the next day.With the Goddesses on the constant hunt for Rizor. The realms are left in constant chaos each passing day.The elders were selected by the moon goddess to watch over the night realm in her absence. The elders are more powerful than average jumpers. They are responsible for the training and the matching of jumpers.I let out an involuntary sigh and from the corner of my eye, I notice Orion is now standing beside me. "If only we could save them all," I sigh, not moving my eyes away from the exploding sea of dreams.I know for sure that a newspaper somewhere around the world is going to have

My eyes burn as I sit by my bedroom window waiting for the sun to rise. The incidents of last night play over in my head. It's the same thing over and over again. My brain is stuck in an endless loop. I see everything so clearly it's as if I'm watching a movie."Zel, what's happening?" Orion asks, his voice straining while he still holds the fighting terror in place."I can't do it. My magic it's as if it's raining out," I say and he releases his hold on the demon.I'm pulled out of the fresh memories when the sunlight hits my face. I shake my head trying to get the thoughts out.I flip my hands over and look at the imprint on my palm. I let out a sigh and realize that sitting here by my window looking at the sun isn't going to solve any of my problems.I drag myself to the bathroom to get ready for school. I have no idea how long I spend in the shower but I somehow end u
