Moments later…
“They're not here…” Andre said. “Keep checking…” Cadet snarled. “Maybe we can make you
new eyes… is there a blueprint for them?” Andre asked. “Yes, but… it’s in a room with a terrible
evil that we locked away…” Cadet said.
“What evil creature?” Andre asked. “It’s actually a demon that holds this place together…” Cadet
explained. “His name is Arrinor and he is the demon of dreams… years ago he created a dream
trap in the dreamscape woods that tosses victims into a dream dimension…”
“So we’re in a different realm?” Andre asked. “Unfortunately yes…” Cadet responded. “The only
way out is back where two people spawn… if a group of three spawn… the others get scattered
and the main two end up together…”
“So when me and my deceased friend Devyn first spawned in… that room would be the exit as
well?” Andre asked. “Yes.. but the key is to conquer all your fears… every person has two
rooms… as you can tell everyone has a room full of nightmares that can wander the halls and
demon proof safe rooms…” Cadet said. “This room was supposed to be a safe room, but
because of me… it's not exactly the safest…”
“Then why are you treating me kindly now?” Andre asked. “Because… you offered to help… you
gave me hope that I never had… If I can leave… I want to… I’m sorry about Lady Lion, but she
was one of the people who stole my eyes… in fact… she was the one who smashed them…”
Cadet said angrily before calming down once more. “Olympia and Apollo are good animatronic,
but Lady Lion was a threat… She was the one who got rid of my eyes… she was teaming with
Arrinor…”
“Arrinor is still trapped, but… Lady Lion made a deal with him for her freedom… he also
promised the freedom of others… as long as we get five different souls…” Cadet explained.
“Once we do collect five different souls… his door will unlock and he will be able to merge the
realms…”
“Why are you helping me then? Don’t you want freedom?” Andre asked. “Yes, but… I also don’t
want to be the one who kills a child for their soul…” Cadet said. “Your friend Devyn… died
because the building you were in was rigged by Lady Lion… John was tripped by Lady Lion and torn by the spider… Me, Olympia, and Apollo tried to save him while Lady Lion was trying to find
Matthew who had vanished from our sight without noticing Lady Lion’s real intention…”
“The real demon here was Lady Lion… now that she is gone… we can help you past the
librarian and get you guys to the exit in one piece…” Cadet said. “So your telling me… my
brother was almost murdered by someone who I tried to trust a first… and my friend and my
brother’s friend were purposely sent to their death in secret by Lady Lion… You know how?”
Andre asked.
“I was in control when it happened… no one knew I was in control because I chose to put a fake
face on for a bit…” Cadet explained. “Axe’s eyes were not built for me yet, so when I used them,
I still couldn’t see…”
“However, I did feel their movements… I could tell that Olympia and Apollo were there with me,
but… Lady Lion was missing and I heard her muttering something about Matthew being gone
and that he should be dead as well…” Cadet explained. “Soon she realized that I was not Axe
when I switched modes back and he had no clue about Matthew’s disappearance…”
“From there, she added something to him to hold me back, she even started to reprogram the
others with false memories…” Cadet explained. “She basically tried to erase me, but the anger
Axe had felt went to me instead… That’s how I broke free from the prison she put me in…
That’s why I came off as angry… I guess I only took you because you gave me hope that all this
can be fixed…”
“It’s ok, but now… we have to get back to the others and find a plan to get the blueprints without
any deaths…” Andre said.
