NiGHTS: The Possibility in Dreams
Kim
1st Night
Life was simple and perfect, but of course what five year olds life wasn't. Kim Possible had loving, doting parents who could not get enough of their beautiful daughter. Every day she would have her mother comb her hair, that matched her mother's shade of red, and listen to her father tell the funniest stories. Today was no different as she found herself walking down the street, swinging back and forth between her parents.
"Careful there Kimmi-cub, you don't want to pull mommy and daddy's arms off do you?" Her father said, sharing a smile with his wife.
Kim looked up to both her parents, an amusing look of shock at her father's statement. "Mommy I can't really pull your arm off can I?"
Her mother picked Kim up and kissed her on her cheek. "Of course not sweetie, daddy is just being funny."
Kim felt much better knowing that she could not really hurt her parents. She turned to her father and stuck out her tongue at him, showing her own idea of being funny. Her father laughed and they resumed their walk, Kim back on the ground holding her parents' hands.
Kim felt that this could go on for ever, but just as she thought it she found herself alone. Frantic Kim looked around for her parents, how could they just disappear? A sound came from behind her; she turned to find herself standing in a blue room. Her parents were there and she felt relieved to find them, but they did not seem to be worried about her. Kim ran over to them, wanting to show her parents that she was okay.
"Mommy, Daddy where did you go?" Kim asked but her parents did not answer, in fact they did not even turn around. "Mommy? Daddy?" Kim was scared; she did not understand why her parents would ignore her like this.
"Aren't they just precious James?" Kim looked up as her mother finally spoke.
"They sure are Anne, I can't imagine anyone luckier that us to have these two." Kim edged past her parents, who were still oblivious to her presence, curious about what her parents were talking about. There standing in front of her was a crib; she peeked over the edge and gasped.
Two baby boys were sleeping peacefully under the caring watch of her parents, but why would her parents ignore her for those babies? Kim turned back to her parents who were now looking at her, but these were not the same loving stares she usually received form her parents. These looks were angry and unkind, why would her loving parents look at her this way?
"Kimberly Ann what do you think you are doing?" her Father said harshly.
"Get away from there right now." Her mother grabbed Kim's little arm and pulled her away from the crib.
"Ow Mommy that hurts," Kim tried to pull away fro her mother but could not, "why are you doing this?"
Her mother released Kim when she was a good distance away from the crib. Tears started to gather at the corner of her eyes. Kim looked to her mother but she was already walking back to the crib. Kim began to march back when her parents turned to look at her, but when she saw their faces they were not Kim's mother and father.
The bright blue room began to darken and the two people that had been Kim's mother and father slowly crept forward. Kim backed away, frightened as the things that had been her parents shot into the air howling towards her. Their black ethereal bodies billowed in the air as they reached for Kim. Kim turned and began to run through the dark void. She peeked over her shoulder and screamed as she caught a glimpse of the specters' glowing red eyes.
The cold hands of her pursuers clawed at her shoulders and as Kim screamed again she heard the monsters behind her scream too. Kim screwed up her courage and looked back to them again; the shadowy beings were shielding their bodies and seemed to be hurting. For the first time Kim noticed the bright light shining in the endless darkness. The light seemed to be hurting the monsters, but to Kim it felt so warm and welcoming. Not even thinking about it Kim's body just began to run toward the light. As she drew closer the light expanded, engulfing everything as Kim took step after step toward the source. Just as she was about to take another step Kim found herself falling.
The sudden sensation of falling should have frightened her but Kim still felt that warm welcoming feeling as the wind whipped around her. After what felt like moments Kim floated to the ground, landing as if she had just hopped slightly off the ground. Kim stared in awe at the scenery before her, fountain flowed with water cascading up in to the air then back to the pool below it. The night sky was dotted with brightly shining stars and a beautiful crescent moon. She walked down the neatly laid cobblestone path, passing under an ornate stone arch, and noticed the trees surrounding the picturesque area.
Kim was so preoccupied with her surrounding that she did not notice the two little beings flying around until they stopped right in front of her. She jumped back in surprise as the strange little beings giggled at her and flew off again. Kim watched as the two buzzed the sky, they looked like little angels with their wings and their backs and rings around their little heads. As they flew out of sight Kim heard the flutter of wings and watched as a brown owl wearing glasses and a red and black checkered vest landed on the rim of the fountain's pool.
"Ho Hoo welcome visitor." The owl said.
Kim clasped her hands over her mouth, "You talked."
"Well of course I spoke," the owl said mater of factly, "after all it is only polite manners to welcome a Visitor to Nightopia."
"Nightopia? What's that?" Kim asked never hearing about such a place before.
"Ho Hoo Nightopia is the land of dreams. I am Owl and you have come at a bit of a bleak time I am afraid Visitor."
Kim hopped up onto the pool's edge to sit next to Owl. "Why, what's wrong Owl?"
"The Nightmaren have been causing trouble recently." Owl fluttered up into the air. "They have been going around stealing the Idyea from visitors."
Kim watched Owl fly back and forth, practically pacing in the air, as he explained. "What are Nightmaren and Idyea Owl?"
"Ho Hoo, pardon me I forgot you have just arrived her in Nightopia." Owl landed back onto the pool, "Nightmaren are creatures of nightmares. They go about scaring visitors and stealing their Idyea."
Kim shuddered slightly, the memory of those shadowy beings that had taken on her parents' forms still fresh in her mind. "I think I've met some of those Nightmaren." Kim said softly. Owl hooted in surprise, closely examining Kim now.
"My word if you did then how did you escape my dear?"
Kim shook her head, "I don't know; all I did was run toward a light and then I found myself here." She pushed a lock of her hair back that had fallen in front of her eyes. As her hand ran back through her hair, which was tied in a pony tail, Owl hooted in surprise again. Kim looked around for the source of Owl's surprise but could not see anything beside the same scenery.
"Visitor you possess the red Idyea." Owl said.
"I do?" Kim asked, still unsure of what Idyea was.
"That must be how you escaped the Nightmaren." Owl flapped his wings and was now flying in front of Kim. "The red Idyea is very rare, only very courageous people have it."
Kim looked at her hands and saw why Owl was surprised, her hands lightly glowed red. Startled she almost fell back into the pool but felt a pair of hands stop her from falling.
"Whoa careful there, don't want to go for a swim with your clothes on do you?" A voice said behind her, laughing as Kim hopped onto the ground. The being that had stopped Kim from falling was floating just above the pool. Kim thought that he looked like a jester that she had seen in a book once. The jester was dressed mostly in purple, from his hat that had two ends, to his boots. The vest her wore was decorated with white stars and he had some kind of red jewel in his chest. The jester smiled and theatrically spinning flew up into the air, looped and twirled then came back bowing with a wave of his hands.
Kim clapped amazed with the jester's tricks.
"Ho Hoo," Owl hooted, now flutter by the jester, "NiGHTS how long have you been sneaking around?"
The jester, NiGHTS, rolled his bright purple eyes, "Relax old bird, I was just passing through when I saw…" NiGHTS gestured toward Kim.
"Kim." Kim introduced herself.
NiGHTS winked at her, "when I saw Kim about to fall into the pool. So I just thought I'd help out."
"Well then I suppose thanks are in order then." Owl said and Kim understood what he meant.
"Right, thank you NiGHTS." Kim said and smiled as NiGHTS took another bow.
"You're most welcome Kim." NiGHTS rose from his bow and took a pose as if he were sitting in midair. "I believe you were talking about something before I interrupted old bird."
Owl hooted, "That's right I was explaining Idyea to Kim wasn't I?"
NiGHTS floated lazily with his hands behind his head, "Well don't let me interrupt you." Kim giggled at NiGHTS and then turned her attention back to Owl as he began explaining Idyea.
"Idyea is something that all people in your world have. They are the representations of your feelings and with them visitors can traverse Nightopia in their own personal worlds."
So Nightopia is different for everyone?" Kim asked.
Owl nodded his head, "That is correct, but because of the Nightmaren stealing visitor's Idyea no new worlds are being created so visitors are rare nowadays."
"Why are the Nightmaren stealing Idyea anyway?" Kim asked
"Because they're sticks in the mud that don't know how to have any fun." NiGHTS said a slight agitation in his voice as he talked about the Nightmaren. Kim looked up to the floating jester, concerned for her new friend. NiGHTS however descended back to the ground, with a spin no less, and offered his hand to Kim. "Well enough of all this serious talk, Kim how would you like to give flying a try?"
