Chapter 185 - Chapter 185 Dream Eater Revealed

Thomas stood up and walked back and forth as he mumbled "Let's see, maybe theirs other possibilities I haven't ruled out yet." Peru stared at him and asked "Like what?" Thomas glanced at her and said "Well I've been caught in mind attacks various times and they normally have a way on making it seem real." Thomas walked over to the board and said "It would explain why this board has quests the day we left since I teleported back and checked in one last time." Thomas glanced at Peri and said "That's not all but these things could also be making things up." Thomas walked towards her and said "Like the house I walked into, at first I thought it could've been some sort of creature or something but now that I think about it the book was exactly the same one that I was reading in the Yoniel." Peri stared at Thomas and said "It must've been a really common book." Thomas shook his head and said "I never finished reading the book, after I got to the point where I left off the book went blank." Thomas stared at her and smiled as he said "Actually none of this may be real either." Peri stared at him and asked "How did you actually figure it out?" Thomas walked towards her as he said "Actually I figured it out a while ago." Peri stared at him and asked "What gave me away?" Thomas pointed at her and said "You can quit using her face I know your a fake, because the real Peri would've known that I couldn't have teleported with my jacket on, and I had it on when I teleported." As Peri morphed into another girl she smiled and said "Your right I don't know much about you." Thomas walked towards her and asked "So what's up with this fake world?" She stared at him and smiled as she said "I'd hardly call it fake since it is built from your memories." Thomas walked towards her and asked "Who the hell are you and how long have I been here?" She stared at him and smiled as she said "You've been here all night." Thomas stared at her and asked "So meeting that kid, and those thugs were all just part of this mind trick?" She nodded and said "Although you have one thing wrong I'm actually a dream eater." As the buildings sank into the ground the sky became blood red and the ground became dirt. Thomas looked around and asked "What's up with the sudden change?" She began to walk towards him as she said "You weren't suppose to find out about me, so I'll probably have to do something to make you forget." Thomas stood there and said "Or you can just stop this and let me wake up." She stood there confused and said "But aren't you gonna kill me if I do that?" Thomas shrugged and said "Probably not, but it is pretty annoying to be forced into a dream that you thought was reality." She walked towards him and asked "What's your deal, you do know that we drain your life force right?" Thomas stared at her and said "Not to be rude or anything but can you dumb that down a little more." She pointed at him and said "I'm draining the amount of time you have to live to add onto my own life!" Thomas pushed her hand out of the way and said "With the situations I've been I probably won't live long enough to use all those years of live, so keep them and let me wake up already." She took a step back and asked "Are you really fine with me making your life shorter?" Thomas stared at her and said "Look I really don't care so just let me wake up." She walked towards him and asked "How much of your life am I allowed to take?" Thomas stared at her and said "Just let me wake up." As she walked around Thomas she said "Normally I shouldn't take more then a fifth of their life or people will get suspicious but if I take a third of yours you won't care?" Thomas put his hands on her shoulders and said "Don't cut my life that short." As Thomas let go of her she took a step back and said "Alright fine, I'll only take a fourth of your life." She stared at Thomas shocked as she asked "Just how endless is your life?" Thomas stared at her and said "I don't know and I don't care just let me wake up." As she stood there she shouted "You must be one of those creatures that live forever." Thomas glared at her and said "Just let me wake up." She stood there and smiled as she said "Since you won't die even if I tried to drain it all I'm gonna take as much as I need before I leave." Thomas walked towards her and hit her on the head as he said "Hurry up I still wanna leave." She held her head as she asked "What was that for." Thomas sighed and said "Dammit if you were listening you would've known." Thomas stared at her and said "If your not gonna let me leave at least explain what life force is?" She stared at him and said "Life force is the amount of time a person has to live, and yours seems to be endless." Thomas stared at her and asked "So what does that mean?" She stared at him and smiled as she said "Both me and you can live forever with just your life force alone." Thomas stared at her and said "You mean if I don't die I'll end up living forever?" She nodded and said "And if you don't die I can also live forever." Thomas day down and said "If I don't die I'll have to live forever." She walked over to him and sat down beside him as she asked "Why are you so upset I'm sure you knew about it." Thomas stared at her and said "Actually I had no idea, so I guess my plan to die of age is now thrown completely out the window." She stared at him and said "Well maybe that idea won't work but maybe you'd rather live forever with me instead!" Thomas stood up and said "No thanks I'd rather wake up now." She stood up and began to walk away as she said "Fine, but I'm sure you'll eventually come around, until then remember my name well, Alice." As Thomas awoke he shot up and seen Alice sitting there beside him under the night sky staring up at the stars as she said "Normally I make them sleep for a while to give me time to leave." Thomas stared at her and asked "Are you gonna leave me alone if I go to sleep this time?" She nodded and stood up as she said "I'll leave you alone for a while, you've already given me a few thousand more years to live after all." Thomas held his head and mumbled "I'm gonna outlive everyone here." Alive stared at him and said "Nope I'll probably still be alive." Thomas glanced at the others and said "You'll still be alive but I highly doubt they'll be able to keep up with my life span if what you just said is true." Alice stood up and said "If you keep me around and let me have more of your life force I'll be sure to keep you company." Thomas stared at her and said "You make it sound like I'm giving up on them." Alice glanced at the others and said "Well it's not like they can live forever too." Thomas stared at her and said "If I've learnt anything its that's with magic I can make just about anything possible." Thomas stared at her and said "If I can find a spell to transfer over some life force to the others I can let them live forever too." Alice stared at him and said "I didn't have time to look through all of your memories but I guess I already know that your not likely to give up on that idea." Thomas stared at her and stood up as he said "I'll make sure they can live forever too." Alice stared at him and smiled as she said "Alright but if you do figure it out save some life force for me!" Thomas stared at her and said "You'll probably just steal them anyway." Alice laughed and said "You got that right!" As she turned around and began to walk away she said "May our paths cross again in the future." As she walked out of sight Thomas scratched his head and said "To bad I have no idea in where to even began on how to do that." Thomas laid back down and said "I suppose the best place to begin is right here with some sleep."
