The Explorers of the Universe

Dream World

At what time, the sky was still very dark. Asteria was standing in a very dark place. Slowly he felt a tremendous amount of nausea. He recalled the last time the waiter took him to the guest room in the royal castle of New Ferrata.

Asteria walks looking for a toilet. The room around him was pitch-black. Does the kingdom turn off the lights at midnight? Ask Asteria in your heart. He wants to go to the toilet immediately and remove nausea and a feeling of congestion in the stomach.

Asteria looked for lighting, but did not find it. He walked and kept walking. I think this living room is very spacious. He kept walking but found no walls or doors. It's just dark and dark.

Asteria tried to throw out her stomach in order to release her nausea, nothing came out. He massaged his own stomach and nape, but remained empty. Asteria thought that she was not really nauseous, and slowly the nausea disappeared. So this is just a suggestion, or what? Confusing.

Asteria hit her own face. No pain felt. “Is this just a dream? But why did the nausea earlier feel so real if this was just a dream?”

Asteria returned to her bed. Just as he searched for a light source and a toilet, the bed was never found. He just walks in the dark.

“Where is this?”Asteria was getting confused. “Prince Sagiiiii!” he called the prince's name. May anyone hear or be disturbed by his screams if he is in the castle.

No one's saying. Slender.

“Asteria,” an echoing voice mentions his name.

Asteria glanced in all directions. There's no one. “Who are you? Where is this?”

“Calm down,” the sound is not as loud as the first echo. Slowly a figure of a man in very beautiful and dashing clothes appeared. His presence shocked Asteria.

The man spoke in a normal voice. “Welcome to the Dream World, O Dreamer,” said the man.

Asteria was still suspicious of the unknown man. “What do you mean Dream World?”

“I'll explain everything. But you have to believe everything I say. Don't ask me before I finish my explanation. Understand?”

Asteria is still weighing. But what harm did he do to follow this foreign man. “Good,” says Asteria.

The man began to tell me:

“My name is Luid Cornius. I am a King in the Ferrata Kingdom. About 993 years ago I reigned as King there. I'm not dead. I just let go of my soul and obliterated my body. My soul is stored in a forbidden spell.”

Asteria didn't dare to cut. But from his little explanation, many things became questions for him.

The man continued his story. “Past there has been a major attack from the Sky Force. They destroyed everything on Planet Sankz.”

Suddenly a light appeared around Asteria. The light gathered and aired the events of the attack 993 years ago. Asteria was amazed by this miracle. It was like seeing the event firsthand.

“The Ferrata kingdom decided to cover the wall with a protective spell. After that the work and the country became tertutuo. In the third year after the attack, the kingdom had recovered and the people resumed their lives. But at that moment, I was curious about the future. What happens in the future.

I opened a book of mantras and recited spells that could see the future. I've been going into the future for centuries. I saw an even more violent attack appear on the blue moon a thousand years later. I was afraid and didn't know what to say to the people.

I explained what I saw to a Royal Counselor. I asked him to keep my vision and never say that I have gone into the future. I allow him to make up any story to convince the people that 1000 years later the invasion of the Sky Force will come again.

After that I was still worried. I'm still worried that people in the future are doubting the story the Advisor has made that there will be another attack. I thought that in order for me to convince the people in the future, I would have to convey it directly to them.”

Once again Asteria held back her questions.

“I finally decided to save my soul and body in a very rare spell. If in the future anyone reads that spell, I will break free from the spell and come to the person who is exposed to the spark of the spell light in any way. Dreams of one of them.

Now I must convince you that the Sky Force will attack again. You guys should get ready.”

The man no longer said. Maybe this is a sign that Asteria can talk.

“That's all. I thought you, I mean the King, would help attack the Sky Force,” Asteria commented first.

“I can't. My body had already disappeared as I wrote down and recited the mantra in the Book of Spells. Only my soul and energy can return, as it is today. My body has gone into the air. I was only present to convince the Sky Force attack.”

“Can the King not help us?” ask Asteria at last.

“I cannot help combat. Only my soul and energy remain,” replied King Luid. “But I can help find a way,”.

“It's better. What road does Raja mean?” ask Asteria.

“I can give you the opportunity to cross various planets, galaxies, stars throughout this universe. You can use that opportunity to search for various abilities and strengths to fight. Go to different planets in the universe. Get your powers. And you can use it against the Sky Troop,” explained King Luid.

Interesting offer, thought Asteria. He could use the opportunity to satisfy his desire for adventure and curiosity. He used to want to explore. Now the dream is realized with a very broad mission and exploration. Unimaginable.

“How are you willing?” ask King Luis.

“Yes, I'm ready!” answer Asteria steady.

King Luid smiled. “I've guessed. Dreamers and adventurers like you cannot refuse this offer.”

“It looks like the King already knows all about me,” Asteria said.

“Not everything. Only your passion, heart and mind can I touch. When the light of the spell broke free and touched you, I got your heart and mind.”

The darkness and light around Asteria turned into very beautiful stars. More beautiful than the usual Asteria seen in the night. The clusters of the sky were red, blue, black, and countless tiny lights that formed a beautiful painting across the vastness of the dark sky canvas. This is a galaxy group.

“This is your exploration field. You have to be careful. Don't let you die on your adventure. And you have to remember your time is very limited. The Sky Force attack will come in less than 7 years. You must return with new strength before the Sky Troops destroy your land,” explained King Luid.

“Good, I understand. Although this is very thrilling for me, I am very passionate about living it. I'm sure I'll return safely and bring strength to fight the Sky Force.”

“Good. All you need to do is find the sources of power on every planet without the need to damage it,” said King Luid.

“I understand.” Asteria floated in the air. Since then the floor he stepped on has disappeared into mena. Asteria just realized it.

“How do I explain to Viana and Prince Sagi? They and all the residents of New Ferrata will be looking for me,” Asteria said.

“Quiet. I'll tell them both. You just go. Although this is the Dream World, when you go to your destination. You have entered the real world. Your body you have brought and there is no more in that room,” explained King Luid.

“Good. Then I'm leaving now.” Asteria gave a glance. So vast and great is the masterpiece of God. He doesn't know where to go first.

“I don't know what place I should go right now,” Asteria said finally.

King Luid gives him advice to go to Planet Mordoc. There is a lake that holds twilight-powerful weapons relics of the Mordites. It points to the direction the planet is in. Asteria's next journey will have to find and decide for herself.

King Luid handed over a compass with 2 pointer needles, colored red and green on Asteria.

“This is for you. If the red color moves, it means there is danger. If the green warrants move, it means that there is something valuable,” said King Luid. “This compass can also understand the contents of your heart and mind. He will take you to where you think,”.

“Thank you,” reply Asteria. He accepts.

“One more time, when you feel your mission is done. Use this to return.” King Luid rubbed Asteria's left arm and miraculously the ancient writings that Asteria could read appeared. The writing then seeps into the skin and disappears.

“Sop this hand with your eyes closed. After this spell appears on your arm, read it. You will also return to your planet.”

“Alright, thanks for all this. Then I'll say goodbye. Hope we meet again.” Asteria flew towards the planet suggested by King Luid.

King Luid stared at Asteria's departure. He hopes Asteriaa can overcome all the challenges that will be faced. He knew this trip was risky for him.
