Life might be so harsh that it drives you to despair, leading to forbidden acts or worse – rushing toward death before it comes to you. Yet, there is a place everyone escapes to every night when daylight is expelled, and the night takes over. There, all creatures bound by physical and universal laws seek refuge in this illusory solution to escape the brutal cruelty of their daily lives. In this place, they live thrilling adventures in a world where the dead and the living meet. This place is called the World of Dreams.

So, are you ready to enter this world? Believe me, it is not a pleasant place if you have a weak heart. Ever since the fall of the last kingdom that ruled this realm, the Dream Guardians were forced to flee and retreat to the edges of visions and dreams, leaving nightmares and hidden dreams under the control of Baba Yaga and her brother, the Boogeyman.

But worry not, you are not alone here. Perhaps you'll find your grandmother or a close friend who left you and never returned. A piece of advice: don't go with them, or you won't return either. Maybe you're wondering why we're entering this world? Well, we need to uncover the truth of what happened to Abdeljalil and, more importantly, save him from himself. Between you and me, he's planning something. What is it? Unfortunately, I can't say, but I'll let you discover it on your own. For now, look toward that tree near the river flowing without a course. You'll find Christina sitting on thick grass, gazing at a distant mountain with tears in her eyes, sorrow and despair etched on her face as though she's seeing something we cannot.

Quick steps bring us closer until we finally reach her. Unfortunately, an ancient being has already arrived before us. We cannot see it, nor are we able to, for we are in its domain, and it alone decides if it wishes to reveal itself. All we can hear is its voice, speaking to her in a chilling, frightening tone:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJfu1SWyO4
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WR5UWmsSF
Why the sorrow? The World of Dreams is a place of joy and delight.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPlbFQFhL
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6oANdLxu8
I see something… something that tore my heart to pieces.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTjfzTBAuh
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc95YPH9kFt
Ah, I see. I've seen it too. Do you know that dreams can foretell the future?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60pHOvrc1u
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSfZasGbwt
No, I didn't know, and I don't care. Please, tell me that it isn't his true fate.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoen2Do3OIF
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfSK2KxB5u
Unfortunately, I cannot say. There are divine beings watching me, and one mistake would be my end.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrBTkQ6BL
Christina:
You mean the angels, don't you?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwW11s8IhC
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDdmDO548R
Yes. If I tell you, their light would burn me. But…
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpN25plJS2
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KKg98K3Dv
But what?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUXYLNbDLN
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2x6WDvnWb
I can help you on one condition.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU8fDkLTMW
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB06O0ljqvX
What is it? Speak. I'll do whatever it takes.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8mHgtjeyX
The Being:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8v0tkCtGF
The Book of Death. I need it to escape this prison and enter the living world to change their lives for the better.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfWSOKmIZ6
Suddenly, Christina bursts into tears for no apparent reason, as if she's seen something we cannot because of the laws imposed by our host and Christina's new companion.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JR0scp0B2
My dear, there is still hope. You can save him. He hasn't reached Mortos the Great's cabinet yet.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyvbE9qUaP
The voice, filled with confidence, bordering on arrogance, is underpinned by pure and innocent love.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVws1nzzPHg
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurbkK4izSH
Alright, I agree. Where can I find the Book of Death?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnxoR1DsRF
Baba Yaga:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyvbZXgArW
In the Kingdom of Curses. I know a shortcut that can take you there.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwKFbOFaXt
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W8QTgaSUZ
Thank you so much for your help. I'll never forget your kindness.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHIsX1IWPJ
Baba Yaga:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7fpkwmHWs
No need for thanks. Baba Yaga is always at the service of humans.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBabgX6U16p
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzilYlzV2et
Baba Yaga, I'm ready.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5s2VD7vtx
Baba Yaga:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2QLVxowu
Good. The bird, Soros, will take you to your destination.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pf4SvGfeV
Christina lifts her head toward a red, starless sky and sees a giant bird with an eagle's head and a horse's body with featherless wings. As the bird lands, she quickly mounts it, speaking to it:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPEJamM2fz
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGXKT5mdt
Baba Yaga, I promise to bring you the Book of Death.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhHFzJuF3E
Baba Yaga:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJdMyk1c56
I know, dear. Just be careful of their king and his daughter. They are the head of the serpent and the cause of the curse that afflicted the kingdom.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROXvvZPmYY
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3BgHOje1c
I'll be cautious and vigilant of them. Is there anything else I should know before I leave?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK1AmLUZZU
Baba Yaga:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgz87aK886
Remember, we never met or spoke. I don't want to violate the Yazor Yaturk treaty and end up in the black void.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkaxKQjT3F
Christina:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6aA1OEJeD
I don't know what you mean by that, but I won't mention anything about you.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91GBVoFxSV
Suddenly, Christina takes off, riding Soros toward the mountain to begin a new adventure to save the one she loves until she vanishes from sight. Meanwhile, Baba Yaga mutters to herself:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3F3BSNjhB
If she succeeds in bringing the Book of Death, she and that fool will return to her world. But if she fails, she'll remain there forever, just like him.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs0E03O2h3
A wicked laugh escapes her as she continues, saying:
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw4I4tqEK9
She doesn't know she's in a coma because of a drug overdose. What an intriguing ending.
