Yumeji and the Sheep enter my office in confusion, but that is quickly dispelled as I say with outstretched arms, "Welcome, my friends…"
The Sheep replies as she raises her eyebrow, "Ok… So why are we here?"
I reply with a chuckle, "No doubt you are both aware by now that Isana is the next target for Mystleteinn… Have you been planning a counter-attack?"
The Sheep replies as she shakes her head, "No… I haven't even gotten a chance to face the Tree-lady yet."
I then chuckle as my eyes flash with true glee, "Well, I put a psychic mark on Isana, so if she is drawn into a daydream, we will also be…"
However, before I can even finish the sentence, we are suddenly within a wicked forest that glistens with malice…
I swiftly hide and wait for the right moment… Thankfully, my mask is a very good shroud within any daydream. Not even its controller can detect me if I am not seen…
Soon enough, Mystleteinn ties up a timid-looking dream demon who cries out with fear, "Please! Don't let her kill me! I don't want to die like this!"
Mystleteinn then snarls as she throws a lance-type object at it, "Shut up! Now, time to feast on your blood!"
Suddenly, time freezes around me as tendrils of shadow encase the small demon in a durable egg that didn't seem to be phased too much by the incoming attack.
I then come out of hiding and look at Mystleteinn with a gleeful grin as I say in a sinister tone, "So I see we finally meet, Woodland Sadist…"
Mystleteinn scowls as she roars in a murderous rage, "YUMECHI? WHAT THE HELL? That is it… I will bring about your death, and then finish what I started before you interrupted my focus!"
The Sheep replies as she appears from elsewhere, "Do not forget about me, crazy tree lady!"
Mystleteinn frowns and replies with a sigh, "Just great… Two morons facing me… Looks like I will be eating more than I can swallow tonight…"
Mystleteinn launches several sharp rose-thorn tendrils at me as she roars, "Die, foolish crusader!"
I quickly counter it with my own shadowy tendrils which sizzled upon impact with the pseudo-organic thorns…
Mystleteinn hissed in fury as she frowns in anger and summons another lance, "What? How did you…? Never mind… Doesn't matter too much whether or not you can counter my ranged attacks… I can still daze you in a close-combat assault!"
I crack a wide grin as I ride the shadows behind Mystleteinn and swiftly kick her in the back as I say with glee, "So can I!"
She screams with agony as she clenches her teeth, "That…actually hurt! How did you do that?"
I reply as I crack my knuckles, "You underestimate me, Mystleteinn… You know not my true strength… This is only eighty-five percent of my full strength, and yet I seem to be able to harm your usually invincible body with such limited effort. I seem to have proven to be your match, and now is when the real fun begins!"
Mystleteinn roars with glee as she summons a field of vicious tendrils that attempt to constrict me, "You will never defeat me! Now, why don't you be a dear and die?"
I chuckle at her anger as I breathe a sinister spark upon my remnant shadows, igniting them into a wicked blaze that quickly reduced the thorny field to ashes and soon after that, it etched a wicked insignia into Mystleteinn's unblemished flesh as she let out a howl of extreme agony.
Just then, Ijima appears from hiding and gets in my way to Mystleteinn as he snarls, "Ok, we give in for now… However, we will return for Isana's demon later tonight… After the day's finals are done…"
Both Yumeji, who was waiting in the corner with anger in his breath, and the Sheep scowled at this as the Daydream ended…
With the dream's conclusion, we find ourselves back in my office and both the Sheep as well as Yumeji began to glare angrily at me…
I chuckle as I say with glee, "Looks like the predator has planned for the time to strike… Gather all allies that you can and bring them there. I too will wait there with you and those allies for the battle to begin. Godspeed, my friends…"
Yumeji frowns and says with annoyance, "Ok, fine… You don't seem worried of Isana possibly losing her hopes and dreams…"
I lick my lips and reply with a sigh, "Have some faith, Yumeji-kun… In me, as well as Merry here… Doubt brings about ruination."
Yumeji then cracks a smile and says with joy as he puts his fingers into rings and places them over his eyes, "Understood! Now, it is time to finish what we started! Dreams will not shatter tonight!
I nod joyfully and say with a slight smile, "You two may go now… Your last final should be starting in a few minutes, Yumeji… Better hurry…"
Yumeji then says with another nod as he ran out of the room, "Ok! Merry, you go home and get Play briefed on the situation…"
Play is involved? Interesting! Now I can see the true power of those blades…
The Sheep chuckles gleefully and nods as she replies, "Of course! I shall do that now…"
Whatever… I am done with what I need to do for today… Mystleteinn will strike this night, and my job is no longer required for the rest of this year…
I get up from my chair and go to the office to check out for the day, knowing that as the glorious afternoon turns into a frigid night, the void's cool embrace will bring a soothing victory in the hours ahead…
