POV: RENATA SILVEIRA. I didn’t have enough time to react. I jumped out of the way of the attack by instinct. “Let the power of dreams strengthen what is within me!” I said as I felt my back hurt with the extra tension caused by the mark’s connection. I activated my enchantment: Oneiric Reservoir. Now, with more energy in my disposal. I got up as early as possible and I took a combat stance. “Let the darkness, that surrounds the dreams of the men, become tangible as the fears hide within it” As in a classic movement of tango, I opened my arms on a V-shape to the sky and brought them down. That was one of the instances necessary for activation of the powers inside the enchantment. A long curtain of shadows involved the surroundings. The sight becomes darker and darker as the time passes. The thermal sensation became colder and the cloudy sky disappeared amidst the darker smoke. It looked like the sun had temporarily been turned off in that hell of place. The sounds of horror were starting to appear. The chaos was spreading throughout the entire yard of the school. The mana signatures were skyrocketing in some places, at the same time, there were others barely capable of feeling its existence because of how weak it was. ‘I’ve to find my way outta he…’ “HA-HA-H… cough. cough.” The cracked voice of a girl echoed throughout the smoke. As my senses guaranteed me the understanding of her position. She was lying down on her stomach close to the exploded door of the class. There was not just her voice echoing in the halls… “Mirror, mirror on the wall, is there anyone with more problems than I?” said another girl, who started to run out from a strange mass of energy with wings and extra limbs. “All of us, should praise The Fool, that doesn’t belong to this e…” proclaimed a guy that was upon his friend’s body, who was unconscious. ‘Are some still luci…’ “SUBJUGATE THE UNBLESSED BY MY SIR!” A strong voice proclaimed and the atmosphere became more palpable. The gravity was strengthening itself quickly. I started to have difficulties moving my body. Four strong signatures appeared out of nowhere, which made the school security sensors activate the suppression shields. The suppressors were activated throughout the yard, it created a lot of pain grunts, but it didn’t end the chaos. “I think I can…” My vision started to blur itself. Already expanding my QP barrier around me. I felt the eminence of an attack. “Dreams, make it as lucid as it could be! As I’ve put more energy into the mark. From one moment to another. I felt that my attention had been diverged to the details around me instead of the girl behind me. Is it the effect of her power? Without a key-word or an instance trigger? What is happening here? ‘Focus on the problem, Renata!’ She was running around the pillar in the middle of the smoke and the sea of people fighting each other. She was looking for me after the unsuccessful assault. Turning myself to the girl. Without time to think. I focused my energy on my feet to prepare an impulse. As soon as her stare caught my eyes. I crossed my hands and jumped up as fast as I could. It was the moment to finish that chase. “Let the dream begin!” I convoked as I merged my energy into the darkness of the smoke around. My vision started to become blurrier and blurrier as I fell asleep. Then… A strange sound of wind became comprehensible as my body became lighter and lighter. Then, I looked around. In the midst of clouds… A bird appeared and started to fly higher in the sky. Its speed was unbelievable. I started to chase it. There was no hesitation. No fear. Just a brave feeling of freedom in that movement. As I went behind it. I saw the details as it turned out to be evident to me. We were in a dense forest with a lot of water mist surrounding everything visible. As I perceived closely, I observed the bird, it was purple in its flur. The wings had dark stains of blood around it. And the skin was shining strongly on that part
