The small fires on each candle were growing and shrinking, multiple times. Grina lands her palm on her forehead, as her eyes rest on the black smooth wood, with a single horizontal scratch. Bars have the dice on his right hand, which he kept rotating with his fingers. His head was pointing at the deck of cards, with a flipped one standing on its right.

Hun's head was turned over Mirii, as his eyebrows were raised. His hands were standing on his legs, while his back was stretched forward. The girl grows her lungs, then shrinks them while letting out a great amount of air from her mouth, making a loud breathing sound.

Grina covers her wide open mouth, while closing her eyes and doing a loud sound.

"Sorry…" She rubs her right eye with the left side of her forefinger. "I'm so stumbling…"

Mirii lowers her eyebrows: she picks her statue with her thumb and forefinger, placing it on the 6th ? panel. The girl turns her head over the deck: she was stretching her arm towards it.

"Wait!" Hun stops his hand in front of the deck.

Mirii twists her head on the boy. He was looking in her eyes.

"Do you really have to pick up that card? I-I'll pick them all for you!" He slightly lowers his eyebrows.

Mirii kept looking at Hun: she smiles.

"Everything will be fine, Hunley. I know what to do, with those cards."

"Are you sure…?" He gulps slightly.

Mirii nods. The boy sighs loudly, as he retreats his own hand back. The girl takes the card on the top and flips it. Her eyes were going left and right.

His fingers are twitching, his arms are moving forward. Your neck is the target from the person you'd least expect it.

Her irises shrunk. She slowly turns over Hun: his eyes were expanding. Grina covers her mouth with both her hands, while looking at the boy. Bars was slowly standing up, walking on his right. Hun raises both his hands: the fingers were twitching.

"Hunley…" Mirii was shaking her head, as she stands up while pushing the chair. "Calm down… you are able to control your arms…"

The girl was slowly walking backwards, as her eyes became watery. Hun was standing up, stretching his arms over Mirii.

"Help! Someone is pulling myself!" He jumps the chair, sprinting over the girl.

Bars holds his shoulders, pulling Hun backwards.

"DUDE, STOP! DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!" He shouts near his ear.

Grina crawls under the table, standing up in front of Hun: she looks in his eyes, while resting her hands on Bars' ones.

"Hunry! You can't let a stupid event card have the best of you! I mean, your heart beats only for Mirii!"

Hun and Mirii's cheeks got extremely red. His shoulders start moving left and right, with increased strength: Bars left the grasp, falling on his back. He grabs Grina, throwing her on the boy with her stomach down. Mirii was running behind the armchair: Hun dives on her, both falling on the floor.

He turns the girl, making her stomach face the ceiling: the boy grasps her neck, as the fingers pushes on the skin. Mirii was choking, as her hands were grasping his and her legs kept slamming on the tiles. Tears were coming from the boy's eyes, as he was yelling.

"Don't… think… about… it!" Mirii coughs loudly.

Hun's lungs grow and shrink at fast speed: he starts looking at the ceiling. The fingers were gradually retreating, the hands were slowly sliding off from the girl's neck. His feet stand on the floor, as Hun was raising.

Mirii smiled, leaning her back up with her hands.

"Good job, Hunley."

Hun looks down: he smiled too, as he passes his forefinger on the tear crossing his left cheek.

"Thank you, Mirii." He stretches his arm, in front of the girl, while opening his hand.

The two blushed: Mirii grabs his hand, as she gets pulled up by him.

"Luckily Hunry is just a kid."

Hun turns back: Grina was lying her left arm on the chair's top rail, smiling.

"I'm sure he can be strong, if he wants to." She winks at him.

"Heh…" He puffs his chest. "Of course, I would!"

The boy returns staring at Mirii: she was still smiling. Hun walks around the table, followed by the girl. He sank on a chair, in front of Grina. Mirii sits next to him, in front of Bars: she puts the flipped card on the top of the previous one.

"All right." Bars look at Hun. "Is this going to be your turn?"

Your… turn.

"Mine?!" Bars points at himself. "Oh, crud…"

Grina raises her eyebrows, as her eyes were glued on his hand catching his statue, placing it behind Grina's. His hand was trembling, as it approaches the deck of the card, picking up the top one. He covers his eyes with his other hand: he lifts the forefinger, while the eyes were resting on the words.

Your eyelids are getting heavier, your mind is searching through its memories. The creatures you see, are coming...

He lowers his hand: his eyes expanded, as he turns his head over Grina. She stands up, holding his shoulders and looking at his eyes.

"Don't… sleep…" She said in a low voice.

His eyelids were slowly dropping. Grina shakes him.

"Bars! Don't sleep!" She lowers her eyebrows.

"Whoa, girl… it's like… I took one thousand melatonin packs…" His eyelids were lowering.

"No, Bars!" She kept shaking him. "Don't think about it! It's just a stupid illusion!"

His eyes were closed, his head was tilting on his left shoulder, as grunting sounds came from the inside of his mouth.

"OH NO!" Grina backs away a little. "HE'LL NEVER LISTEN US, NOW!"

"That's not true, Grina!" Mirii stands up. "Keep calling him!"

GRRREEEEEEEEEUUUUUUHHH!

The kids quickly turn over the door: it was gradually bending, followed by loud noises.

CRAAAAASSHH!

The door was divided in uneven pieces, scattered on the floor: a flying big dark green squid was floating forward. The face was full of scars and lines of black liquid, the eyes were completely black. The kids screamed: Mirii and Hun dive under the table. Grina runs behind the armchair. Bars keeps grunting, with his eyes closed.

The monster was floating towards Grina. The girl was moving backwards with her hands, while trembling: tears were coming down from her eyes.

"GRINA!" Mirii was looking at the monster. "BARS CAN STILL HEAR YOU!"

Grina's lungs were growing and shrinking: she was almost near the fire.

"BARS!" She shouts, gritting her teeth. "DON'T THINK ABOUT THIS MONSTER! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!"

The squid backs away, bending the back.

GRRREEEEEEEEEUUUUUUHHH!

"STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU MEANIE!"

The monster turns around: a small Inkling with the face skin completely blue was standing on the floor. He was wearing a silver helmet with slim holes on its visor rose up, as small tentacles were tied up in a brown rubber band, sticking out from the helmet.

His body was covered by a silver armor, his hands by gauntlets, his legs by silver pants. He was holding a sword on his right hand and a small shield on his left hand. He points the sword towards the squid.

"IF YOU DARE TO TOUCH THE TENTACLE OF THAT FINE DAMNSEL, I'LL CUT YOU IN A HALF!" He lowers his eyebrows.

GRRREEEEEEEEEUUUUUUHHH!

The monster floats towards the small Inkling. He swings the sword, hitting the target: the squid yelps loudly. The windows broke down and the kids screamed, covering their heads down. The monster flies with the head leaned forward. The Inkling thrusts his shield, as the squid impacts on it: the squid falls on the ground, with the face looking up.

The Inkling swings his sword on the monster, cutting it all the way through: black liquid was pouring on the tiles. He raises his sword, looking at the ceiling.

"YES! I WON!"

Slowly, both disappear in thin air. The wind was blowing around, as the fires on the candles were stretching on their left side. Grina's eyes were covered by her hands: she lowers them, shivering as the wind caresses her head.

Bars' eyes open up: he stretches his arms and legs, while yawning.

"Uuuuh… wh-what just happened…?" He looks around, while rubbing his eye with the left side of his forefinger.

"The craziest stuff I have ever seen." Grina walks towards the chair, sinking on it.

"Really…" He places the flipped card on the top of the other ones, while looking at Mirii sitting in front of him. "I did a weird dream… like I was wearing this armor and"

"We all saw that." Mirii lowers her eyebrows. "Your dream was affecting the real world."

"Whoa, really?!" He bends his back forward, as his hands stand on the table. "How this happened?! I remember to be in a castle or something!"

Mirii and Hun look at each other. Grina's lungs grow a lot, then shrink down while letting the air came out from her mouth.

"Let's not think about this too much… my head is already exploding!" She massages her forehead.

"Ehm… is it my turn?" Hun points at himself, as his mouth downturned.

Yes… begin.

The boy gulps. He takes his statue, putting it behind Mirii's. He looks at the deck of cards.

"I have a question." He looks the ceiling. "Can I choose the cards below the top one?"

"You can't." Mirii clasps her hands on the table. "The rules force the players to pick up the cards shown above."

"Oh…" The boy lowers his head, as his eyes rest on the deck.

He sighs, picking up the card on the top of the deck. His eyes were moving left and right.

Your skin gets paler, as you are swimming inside fresh water. Creatures swim nearby, going forward. The timer keeps going, as a man wearing overalls is defeating one creature after another.

"Wh-what did I just read?! This doesn't make any sense!" His eyes look forward.

He gasps: the boy is a white squid with small black eyes! Around him there was blue, crystalline salty water. Below him, the terrain was green with rocks of a darker color, magenta corals stretching upwards and a crab frowning, while walking sideways.

A group of round red fishes with yellow fins and white wings, were swimming past Hun: the squid's eyes were looking left and right, through the crowd of fishes. Suddenly, they all swim in different directions: one of them pushed the Squid aside.

He looks down, seeing three red fishes slowly falling down towards the ground: they had burn marks on their heads.

Yahoo!

The squid looks ahead: a man was swimming forward. He was wearing a white hat with a M on its center, surrounded by a round space. He has wide mustaches, a big round nose and light-blue eyes. He was wearing red overalls, white shirt and gloves and brown shoes.

The man swings his right arm, as a fireball came from his palm and flies towards Hun: he yells, propelling upwards!

"Oh no!" The man looks up, lowering his eyebrows.

The squid kept propelling away, gradually going up.

"Come back here, you little squid!" The man swings his arms faster.

"GO AWAY!" Tears were coming down Hun's eyes.

THONK!

His eyes keep rotating, as little squids were swimming near his head.

"I'm gonna get ya!" He swings his arm, throwing another fireball.

Hun shakes his head: the fireball passes near him. He propels himself downwards, as 3 fireballs were passing above and near his sides.

"HELP! HELP!"

As he was swimming down, with teary eyes… suddenly multiple memories kept running through his mind. He frowns, looking up.

"I… I'll not think about this!" He bends a lot.

The man stops moving his arms, looking at the squid with his mouth open. Hun propels around and once. The man swings his arm multiple times: only one fireball scratches the left side of the squid. He kept propelling, with his left eye closed, near the man… landing on his head.

"Ooooooh! Mama miiiiiaaaaaaa!" The man shrinks instantly.

His hat and shirt are now red and his overalls are blue. Sweat came down from his forehead: he turns around, then he swings his arms rapidly, getting away from the squid. Hun's lungs were growing and shrinking: he shuts his eyelids.

"HUNLEY!"

The boy yells, opening his eyes: Mirii was in front of him, with raised eyebrows.

"Wh-where am I?!" He looks around.

Grina and Bars were on the other side of the table.

"You are in the real world." Grina smiles. "You sure shouted a lot of nonsense, before."

Hun turns his head over Grina, while she giggles.

"Wh-what nonsense…?" He trembles a bit.

"Ravioli." Mirii nods. "That's what he said."

"Actually, there were other"

Mirii turns over Grina, frowning a lot and growling. The girl expands her eyes, raising both her palms.

"Never mind! We have a game to finish!" A sweat drop appears near her forehead.

"Girl! Look where the statues are!" Bars points his finger on the center of the map.

All the statues were on the FINISH panel.
