It has been a while since Gideon had acted like a normal kid. So long that he had forgotten how dull schoolwork is, especially since he is smarter than the average ten year old attending the fourth grade. His teachers and even his parents proposed for him to skip a grade or two, but Gideon wanted to be a 'normal' kid.
He quickly remembered that he was far from normal when he started doing his math homework that was painfully easy to figure out.
Gideon opened his eyes to what looks like the inside of the Tent of Telepathy, but larger in size with rows of empty pews and the area bathed by stars and navy blues and lit candles floating in the air. As for himself, he seems to be coated in a cyan hue, similarly to the candles, making him stick out against the dark colors surrounding him.
Placed beside the pews are multiple pedestals containing an item, each holding memories related to that item. Some of it was little stuff, like an ice cream cone, holding memories of him and his parents having a good time over at the corner shop. Or a board game Gideon remembered playing and his dad letting him win almost all of the time.
Then, there were items like Journal 2. Picking up the book from its pedestal and Gideon was met with a vision of the moment he found it: Gathering dust inside of the library closet and he knew where it went from there.
On the next pedestal was the cursed amulet. He picks it up and sees himself finding the amulet placed inside of a box hidden underneath the roots of a tree. He saw himself performing telekinesis for the first time in front of his parents. They all thought it was a neat trick…until Gideon kept using it.
Gideon sighs ruefully to himself, unaware of the candlelights dimming.
Then…a small light gains his attention. He followed the little orb to the stage, curtains drawn closed. The little orb slipped through the velvet. Gideon peers inside to see what looks like a hunched darkly cloaked, hooded humanoid with a long beard, resembling Spanish moss.
The entity beckoned Gideon closer and…
Gideon blinks awake with a piggy snort. He looks around, noticing that he has returned to the real world.
"Goodness me…I must've dozed off. It's been awhile since I've entered my dreamscape. It looked a little different from before. Less portraits of Mabel and no ragdolls resembling my enemies on chains…" Gideon mused. "I guess that means I've gotten better."
He looks down at his homework and sees what he has written in his sleep.
FALLL
The supposed third 'L' had a long squiggly line attached to it, likely from Gideon waking up.
"This is…mildly unnerving," Gideon commented, slightly perturbed. "Maybe an after effect of Weirdmageddon?" He starts erasing the bold letters off his school work. "Let's just put this on the back burner for the time being."
