Prologue
Dream is a realm between the real world and illusion. There is an almighty wizard who controls the dream. He is known as 'dream-walker'. He summons the souls from the dreamers who wish to be in the dream, and Dreamland exists because of them. Dreamland is a land of unknown, the dreamers couldn't describe about the place. Anyone who experience to the Dreamland felt they were in heaven.
The contrast of the dream is nightmare. The land where dreamers having a bad dream which lead them to depression, and death. The land of Nightmare; the Dark Void, owned by the Nightmare. Nightmare pulls the dreamers by force and sends them painless torture. The wise once said it is the test from the Kami (God).
Dream and Nightmare are two different worlds. They are separated like day and night, cannot be met, and cannot be seen by each other. This is why the middle man exists. The spirit being Baku; the dream-eater. Its existence is to keep away the dream and the nightmare separated. Its job also to devour them and sending them back to reality.
According to the legend, every five thousand years, Dreamland and Dark Void will replaced with different land lords. It is a ritual that has been made to keep the Dreamland and Dark Void to stay eternity. The land lords will sacrifice themselves as a price, choosing their next successor. If one of them didn't perform the ritual, then both Dreamland and Dark Void will collapse, which affects the real world.
A lady in red has been sitting on the classic chair, drinking a cup of tea with a book on her lap. She skims through few more pages before she closes the book. She takes a few minute to sip her tea and slowly she turns to the window, which the pigeons happen to be flown away.
"The next ten years, you won't be here anymore. Then what leaves me?"
Then a man slowly approaches next to the lady. He is tall and dressed fancier than other people. He also turns the same direction as the lady in red.
"A successor and savior of the Dreamland. We must understand that our time is almost up. We did a right thing, my Queen. And when I'm gone, do not miss me. Please take care of our daughter."
"... Your wish will be granted. You will be replaced, but you're always in my heart, irreplaceable. I'll miss you always, my King."
And they didn't any words. Watching the time flies by before the night falls.
This is my second adventure story. The first one is a failure.
Also this story a bit cross-over with Project DIVA series, so you can look up the name modules I will apply on the next chapter.
