Chapter 1:
The Accidental Dream.

*Min's point of view*

Hello, I'm min.

I'm a student from North America; I came to Japan for my 2nd semester of High School. My school is near a strange but tall building called the Twin Seeds tower, i know, its a strange name.

I have long black hair, a brown half jacket over a black under shirt. I also have black jeans on and brown eyes. I can't stand dressing up with many colors, I'm not a candy cane.

I'm walking down a city corner, covered by the Blue sky overhead, a light breeze flying past my face. It was a quiet day here. I never really understood why I was here in the first place; it's just too peaceful here for my taste. I just wish I was back in America, at least there I didn't need to look at a translator every other hour. But meh, I have to deal with it for now.

That's when I saw two children a little younger than me, run past me. One was a boy with blue hair, and the other was a girl with pink hair. They might of been from my school, but I'm not quite certain. But who cares really, I probably won't ever meet them.

As the pair ran past me, as i looked at them, I forgot to watch my step. I seemed to trip on thin air. It felt like nothing I ever felt before, almost metallic. Before my mind had time to react to this, I saw a concrete block coming toward me as I plummeted face-first to the ground.

WHACK!

...what...just...happened...

My eyes are shut. I felt like I was on cold stone floor, laying down. There was no ambience, which I found slightly unsettling

"Where...am I?"

"You're at the dream fountain my dear visitor..." a cultured British accent spoke.

I shook in surprise. I swung my eyes open from it's previous shut state. My eyes caught the form of a red and black jester like form. He had two devilish like horns. He had a grayish face and long almost colorless legs. His horns sported red and black stripes, and his 'jacket' was small and red.

I also took a second to look around me, I was in a large circular temple like area. I could see the sky, but it was a eerie, distasteful, grey color. In the center of the temple was a large blue fountain, hence the name dream fountain I guess... There were trees lining the side of the temple, but something felt off here... nothing seemed real.

"Who are you?" I questioned, I began to rub the back of my aching head. "What am I doing here?"

He chuckled lightly. "He was right, you are clueless about us. Can't say I'm not surprised though."

This mime wannabe was starting to annoy me already. I got up from my position, and I was now standing up.

"What's with you?" I sarcastically say to the jester. "I don't remember mimes being in the city."

"Your Not in your world visitor!" The maroon nightmaren growled at me "How dare you belittle me to the title of mime, I am Reala, the lead general of Master Wiseman's army of nightmaren!"

This came as a big surprise to me. Wiseman? Nightmaren? Not of this world? This...who ever this was better cough up some answers.

"Wait..." I thought. "Nightmaren...as in nightmare? I'm sleeping aren't I? That fall must of made me go unconscious. Eh, at least I know your not real."

"I assure you visitor I'm quite real." he said with conviction, drawing one of his clawed hands into the air. "Observe."

He flew over to me and cut my arm with one quick blow of his sharp hands. I yelled in response. I felt...pain. If I'm dreaming...then how can...?

A wicked smile plastered on his face. "Now do you see? All I tell you is true." he flung his arms out as far as he could, like a beholding pose, chuckling. "welcome to the Night Dimension!"

I looked up from my arm, whose pain was now going away, and glared at the nightmaren.

"Not a very warm welcome..."

"I'm not a 'warm' maren..." he retorted.

He held out his hand toward me, as he opened red colored rift behind him.

"Come visitor, I will Answer all your questions when we see master wiseman."

I looked at him for a few seconds. Wait...I'm actually gonna trust this insane mime with my life? Well... Who knows, he might be the nicest one here for all I know...anything could happen in this hole of misery...

"Sure...Might as well." I say.

I walked toward Reala, who's eyes start to get a gleam in them as if he had found a jewel. His hand reached out toward me.

"Stop Reala!" a feminine British accent shouted.

A purple figure floated between Reala and me, she seemed physically similar to reala, but had shorter purple horns, purple legs, and a tan colored face with two large blue eyes.

"NiGHTS!" Reala exclaimed in surprise and hatred drenching his voice.

"Who is NiGHTS?!" I replied with confusion.

the purple jester turned to me with a grin. "Why, me of course."

I think... This NiGHTS Is a whole lot nicer than that Reala guy...

"NiGHTS...That visitor made it her choice to come with me, don't interfere!"

"Don't play that game with me Reala, you make it so obvious your tricking her, so just leave her alone and go back to wiseman! Or do you remember what happened last time you fought with me about a visitor?"

Reala's face cringed, like he was recalling a memory. "Erg...when i see master Wiseman, you will be put to an end..."

Reala floated closer to the red rift he had made behind himself, but before he flew into it, he turned back at NiGHTS.

"You will regret this NiGHTS, you just decided to catch us nightmaren in a very...VERY...Bad day..."

With that, he stepped back into the red portal he made behind him. Once out of view, the portal closed behind him, leaving no trace of him.

NiGHTS let out a satisfied grunt before turning to me.

"That's strange..." the purple jester spoke.

"you're one to talk..."

"No, I mean...in your timezone...it's nearly noon." NiGHTS words were filled concern.

I gasped. "My body! What's happening? Where am I? Still on the pavement? What's gonna happen to me?!"

"Easy easy...It's going to be okay." NiGHTS coaxed me while she waved her hands in front of me. "You'll be back in your body before you know it!"

This calmed me only a little. I was still inwardly freaking out at the thought that I could be dying in the real world, and not even know it!

NiGHTS tilted her head. "What's your name?"

"...Min.."

"hmm...Min...quite a weird name isn't it?" she smiled. "I like weird names!"

"...you're pretty bizarre yourself..." I mutter.

NiGHTS twirled up in the air chuckling gleefully,a flurry spark like lights following her movements. Her mood swings came back as she turned from a cheerful note into a serious one.

"say, you're a little old to be here." NiGHTS stopped her acrobatics and began to ponder. "makes me wonder...how were you even able to appear here..."

"So...your not sure what to do either?" I asked her.

She shook her head. "No... But, reala seemed to know a great deal on why you were here...this just smells of wiseman's plot..."

"who's this...wiseman?"

"he is the one who created Nightmare, Reala, and all of the other nightmaren like him. I had to stop his evil plot more than once before!"

"well, what are we gonna do?" I ask.

"I suppose I will have to confront wiseman about this...if I can find him... I guess that I could-"

She stopped, and looked at me closely. "wait a moment..."

She floated around me, carefully inspecting me.

"You have all of your ideya!" NiGHTS explained in shock. "But, how? There are so many questions I have about you Min."

"What are ideya...?" I questioned, still hopelessly lost in all the insanity that came with this world. I shook my head in utter confusion.

"And I know very little about you NiGHTS, let alone this place..."

"So what are you asking Min?"

"I'm suggesting that we get to know each other and our worlds on the way to Wiseman."

NiGHTS grinned at me, pointing to twelve glowing doors. "Sure! I'll race you to that dream gate!"

"Whats a dream gate-"

She sped off, flying to one of the doors as I tried to catch up.

"No Fair!"

She giggled childishly as I ran her way.

Could I trust her?

Probably.

I just hope so...
