《The Orphan Fox》Chapter 5.5: True Nightmare
Advertisement
Earth, in switzerland, Europe. Inside a small Orphanage there was a caretaker, walking inside her office in circles. Her Name is Maria, and she was the Supervisor of said Orphanage.
Her Reason to do so is appearent. Not to long ago, while eight of the Kids were playing outside, a sudden Black Hole opened, swallowing all of them. Normally she would have though she was dreaming, but there was nothing left. Though one thing remained, it was the wheelchair of one of the most fragile Kids inside this Orpahange.
His name was Arin and he loved using his hands to craft various things, especially since his legs were unnaturally weak. He was rather small in comparison to his peers, but still had a big heart.
She already missed ruffling through his hair as he sat in his bed, doing whatever landed in his hands. Even now, the picture he drew when he was six years old, still hung on her wall.
"Where have you guys gone to?" (Maria)
Seating herself in her chair, she looks once more at the Surveilance-Videos. Normally there are no Videocameras inside the Orphanage, but the garden had one installed. Especially so since it was freely accessable by jumping over the wooden fence. Burglers and perverts could be a problematic issue, luckily they were never in such a situation, but the recent one...
It never occured before, and even the Office responsible for the Orphanage didn't want to believe it. But 8 children vanished overnight, leaving behind not even a trace. The Only prove was the installed Camera in the Garden. Yet that wasn't sufficient to profe anything. Still, the garden was locked down and carefully checked by officials and scientists in weird suits, so they had to move the other kids.
The result; aside from a few rather weird fluctuations in the temperture and energie, there was nothing. Even so, the whole Garden was contaminated and the Orphanage, or at least the kids and personall, were moved to another location.

Sadly, even after extensive search, there was no result to finding the true notion which caused the event. As someone leaked the video of the camera, the internet was debating on what could have occured, even a religion was founded because of this, luckily it didn't remain for long. The meme about it did though.
Anyways, the spot of the event became a popular spot for scientists as the Tepature and sometimes even gravity went completly boogus there.
But there were some people, maria too, who disliked seeing this as they believe that as their last seen place, one shouldn't trample the graves of these Kids. Sadly, it never went through, as the opposition was to strong.
Losing her strength again, Maria just sat there, watching the drawing on the wall. It displayed a white fox running on an open field, it was simple, yet you could recognise what it showed by looking at it only once. As she kept staring, the fox suddenly moved.
"Wait, what?!?" (Maria)
Maria exclaimed in surprise, but thinking about it, she probably is just losing it. Reopening her eyes, the fox was no longer there...
"WHAT?!?, WHAT IS THIS!?!" (Maria)
Instead, there was a youth, clothed in white and resembling Arin, the boy who drew this Picture.
The Boy was about to say something when the door suddenly slammed open.
Reacting to the sound, Maria turned her head, just to see Elisa stand in the Frame, watching her with questioning eyes.
"Maria, are you ok? You just screamed a moment ago..." (Elisa)
Remembering why she started to scream, Maria turns her head around again just to see the boy still waiting inside the Picture, even waving at her.
"Uhmm, Elisa, do you see what i see?" (Maria)
"What are you talking about?" (Elisa)

Questioning the sanity of the one friend she knew since she was in school, she looks into the direction Maria was pointing. There was a Picture which normally would have the Picture of a Fox, but now there was a boy, sitting in the plains, waving at her. It was surrealistic, but she understood what her friend was talking about. Or could it be a Hallucination.
"See, Arin was waving at you, he is inside the Picture!!!" (Maria)
Nearly frantic, Maria yells at her friend, while she just weekly nodded. Suddenly the Figure in the Picture moved, standing up he looked into their eyes, diplayed a smile and said in a soft voice...
"Don't worry about us, Maria, Elisa. We are fine here on the other side, please don't look for us. Thanks for everything you've done for us until now. Goodbye, Maria. Oh and Elisa, please continue making good food." (Arin Phantom)
Displaying a smile more radiant than the sun, Arin slowly turned into mist and vanished, returning the Picture to it's original form. As Maria try's to catch Arin before he vanishes, she suddenly jumps up.
She was sitting, bathed in sweat, inside her bed. The Bedsheet was all jumbled up, meaning she was moving alot.
"Was it just a nightmare?" (Maria)
Taking a deep breath, she looks around, crossing her gaze with Elisa who was also sitting inside her bed on the other side of the Room.
Looking at each other for a while, they suddenly started to talk:
""Nightmare??"" (Maria & Elisa)
Both of them reacting at the same time, they both jump out of bed, put their slippers on and ran towards the room of the Boy inside their dream. Inside they found a Young Child with chestnut colored hair, holding onto a fox-plushie while pleasently sleeping.
Both of them seemingly relaxing, they returned to their own room as it wasn't even dawn yet. Exchaning what each of them dreamt, the realized that their Dreams were more or less identical, just from different perspectives. Ending their exchange, they decide to write down what happened that night, with date and everything.
It was only three days later, that 8 Kids suddenly Vanished from the Orphanage. With one of them beeing a small, weak, yet kind and loving boy, with chestnut colored hair.

Lost in a Dream
Published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If dreaming is a drug, then I'm a junkie. For most people, sleeping is an obstacle. Something to get out of the way, so they can get back to their life. For others, it's an escape to nothing, a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream; I work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world. My real world. After all, what is reality if not the place where dreams don't come true? Can you fight a dragon on your way home from work, or conquer a foreign land to save an oppressed people from their malevolent overlords after vacuuming the living room? Can you visit a land where mountains look like freshly baked phyllo dough, or live in a castle bigger than my apartment complex? Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a mundane life. A birthing place for grander ideas we wish could materialize. I choose to live in a world where they do.

Theodran [A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy]
Release schedule: Thursday and Sunday at 12:00am CST. The world of Uneira is a desolate wasteland full of horrors and danger behind every rock, every bush, and every scraggly tree. Except for inside the Chalices, humanities frontiers and city states that have been protected by colossal white shimmering walls for generations. Only the most exceptional people brave the Unholy Wastes. But, inside of the Aetheline Chalice in its capital of Aethel, rank and status is determined by talent, skill, and archetype, but those that are extraordinary compete for prestige in the Pageship Games, where they’ll climb up the ranks to stardom or earn the right to carve a name for themselves in the Unholy Wastes after winning. *Magic is split up between Talents, Skills and Archetypes. It's my approach with a System like story without the system or other front-end applications of one. It's going to start as a bit of a slowburn coming of age, but that's really only for the first book. **There are three POV characters: Theodran, Modran, and Alanna.
