Maginary World was a legendary land, a chimera, some would say, who wasn't supposed to exist… Then again, a lot of things weren't supposed to exist, in the first place…
We've already established the fact that we are not bound to know the difference between what is real and what is not… That the ultimate Truth is not for us to reach… But that doesn't necessary mean we should give up in searching for it.
What I'm trying to say is this: despite the fact that we don't know… We have (or we should have) the freedom to choose our own answers… Our own believes… Our own truth.
We should be able to choose what to believe and what not… While still having room for doubts and an open mind over other creeds…
That's how things should be… In my opinion, of course, which is not, by any means, absolute.
Therefore, for the sake of this story, I choose to adopt a rather rational point of view… Even though, dreams are anything but rational… Again it's just an hypothesis.
I'm going to make things perfectly clear (for once), this story… Despite all the existing doubts towards its effective credibility… Or the fact that a perfectly logical separation between reality and illusion is impossible here… This story, simply put, is about love… A love of a father towards his daughter… A tragic love between a dark prince and his sleeping princess…
This story, right here, is about feelings and emotions… Things that, despite all the previous existentialistic doubts… Can definitely be real.
A new day arose in Maginary World… As far as time had a meaning… But who really cared? Not me for sure… And neither the guardian of the Precioustone and his daughter did.
They were too busy having fun on a… Roller Coaster???
An illusion? Again, who cared? It was fun and that's the only thing that mattered… Hoax or not!
Once the ride ended…
Its only two passengers descended…
Still laughing like demented…
I made a rhyme that wasn't even intended…
Please, somebody stops me before this thing couldn't be reverted!
Oh whatever, let's just continue the story as I wanted…
"I'm assuming you liked it, uh?" Said the black eyed, green leaf haired entity known as Void to his little ride companion…
She giggled and darted towards her daddy, encasing his body in a bear hug death grip of daughterly love…
"IT WAS SO FUN!!! OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!" She cried in an over enthusiastic fashion… Which seemed to be appropriate considering her age… Or better, the age her physic demonstrated.
Little Lumina Flowlight has grown into a beautiful little girl over the past 5 years… As far as time had a meaning, of course, which apparently had… At least, in Void's opinion.
Void's appearances hadn't changed at all… But he knew he grew up… If not physically, he did it mentally.
And so, Maginary World's appearances did… There were cities, entire cities and fancy looking zones spread all over the mystic realm… And there were people… Who would live in such places…
And of all of them came out from others' dreams and emotions… And their existence has been possible thanks to Void and his influence over the Precioustone's powers.
There was a time (figuratively speaking) in which he would have doubted all of these to be real… As a matter of fact, he still didn't know if he was living inside his own dreams… Or if his dreams did become real and living… He did not care, though.
He did not care at all… Because he chose to believe in his world… And his emotions…
And his love towards his daughter, for he somehow knew she was real, and his princess… For he knew she was there.
Those were the only things that mattered and he was content with that.
"What do we do now, daddy?" Lumina suddenly asked while releasing his now short-breathed daddy from her impressive embrace.
Void looked down at his child… She was pretty like a flower… She was a flower, for that matter…
She wore a lilac dress that matched her pink hair… Apparently she loved the same color of her mother's fur… Her mother…
His daughter's attitude was so similar to her mother's own… She was sweet and cute yet, she could be very stubborn and motivated when she would have had goals to accomplish…
The older Seedrian chuckled within himself… His mind wandered to that time when she wanted to ride the Precioustone so bad… She cried for Chaos knew how long in order to achieve her improvised life mission… Until he finally gave up and let them do it. To his surprise the stone seemed to react positively to it…
That event made him wonder if the God gem was actually… A living being… More than a divine device… That would explain part of its mystery…
Lumina noticed his father's sudden unspecified distraction and acted like any small child would act when she would want attention…
"Daddy?Daaaaaaaadddddddddddy! Daddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddy!!!!!!"
That, of course, worked and Void found himself abruptly brought back to reality as if hit by a cartoon like anvil…
"Eh? What… Yes, Lumina?" He said, calmly and gently as ever.
"I wanna go see mommy!!! Can I go, please? Plllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeee?" She said while showing to her unwilling daddy the infamous "Puppy Face of Doom"… The Doom part was my personal add.
The male Seedrian took a long and deep breath… He couldn't say no to the little girl… How could he?
It pained him… It hurt him the fact that his daughter was forced to grow up without a mother… There were days in which such knowledge would become unbearable… And when his namesake gaze would pose itself over Lumina's azure colored and innocent one…
The pain and the guilt would become utterly devastating…
There she was… So young and curious, so fragile yet, strong willed at the same time… And with a very familiar emptiness in her soul…
A sad empty spot inside of her… A potential source of grief and sorrow beyond rightfulness…
It was Void's greatest fear… Void's greatest torment… The thought that this sweet and carefree little girl… His only daughter… Could become like him.
Consumed by sufferance… By grief… By solitude…
An emotional void.
"Yes… Let's go see mummy, little Lumina." He simply answered while swallowing.
She smiled a happy childish smile… That alone, did manage to alleviate the black eyed boy's current distresses… For now.
Perhaps, just perhaps… This dream won't turn into a nightmare... If it was a dream that is… Once again, who cared?
Without wasting anymore time, the two Seedrian took each other's hand and started walking away from the amusement park…
Their destination… Maginary World's Graveyard.
