He initiated his escapade with the intentions of exploring and finding his true love. He was very friendly with an earnest look; dark brown skin, ginger dyed hair, dark brown eyes, a masculine jawline, a perfectly shaped nose, a trimmed beard with slightly visible sideburns and a short moustache. He wore a black leather jacket with a blanched blue denim jean and a white shirt. Dressed like a 90's punk cowboy from the UK or whatever you'd call it. All in all, he was a very handsome young black man.
The dream all started at the gates of heaven. Heaven was the most beautiful place one could ever imagine. It was a densely vegetated biome with creatures and structures the human mind couldn't possibly manifest. At first he was confused so he looked around to ask for guidance because he was unaware of the environment in which he was in. A strange, yet very attractive young girl approached him as he walked around looking for approachable faces. He looked very confused, almost like he was a murder eye-witness. Okay back to the random pretty girl; she was the girl of his dreams, well in this case literally. Hence all this being a dream, most of the faces he had seen were quite familiar. In reality, she was a girl he interacted with on social media subsequently leading to his pathetic long distance smitten. He was so obsessively attached to her, he convinced himself that one day he will meet her in person. He had always dreamt of having a romantic rendezvous with her.
She effortlessly portrayed a charismatic look with dark brown natural curly hair, winsome bright confident eyes, glossy lips with a rare shade of cream pink. She had a model body with a peach skin tone, enclosed by an ashen flawless white dress and large pink wings.
"Hi, I'm Angela. You look lost, need any help?", she initiated a conversation as she approached him. Her voice was quite seraphic that he couldn't bare to smile with relief (instant smitten). "My name's Swan. You look oddly familiar. Have we met before?", he asked. "I don't think we have Mr. Swan, have you seen me somewhere?", she responded. "Oh never mind, where am I?", he changed the topic. "You're in Heaven dear, this is where we're meant to be.", she responded. "Oh that's great. What's going to happen next, do we wait for some kind of signal? Where's God?" , he asked in bewilderment. "Unfortunately, I can't answer that question, neither can anybody else here. Nobody knows what's going on. We are just enjoying each other's company here.", she replied. "What do you mean 'you don't know'? I found you here. All of this doesn't add up.", he said. "Of course it doesn't. You're dreaming silly.", she said. "Wait what? What do you mean I'm dreaming?", he asked in shock. "You like me don't you? I think I like you too, but sadly, this is all a dream. I'm your dream girl…right?", she asked without hesitation and an awkwardly wide smile. "I mean…yeah...I did mention that you looked familiar earlier didn't?", he responds. "I think I've seen you somewhere back on earth. I don't think I was supposed to be here." he said in concern and realization. Angela stared at him with the same awkward smile and no response at all. It was getting uncomfortably awkward. There was a long pause until he said something again. "So what now?", he asked. "You know what you should do? You should go and search for me.", she requested with a sanguine facial expression. He stared at her in awe.
"I'm not real, am I?", she asked. "Well, technically not, but where do I even start?", he asked her. " It was a rhetorical question silly. You'll have to find a way. I have a spare pair of wings I can give you to fly back. Earth is not too far from here, but you should be able to navigate yourself through this vivid world.", she responds. "I don't think that's how things work. I don't even know where I am currently.", he replied with fear. "This is a dream. Do you want to keep dreaming of me or wouldn't it be more convenient if we met in person? You don't have a choice at this point. You weren't supposed to be here yet. If you don't leave without finding a soulmate, you will be stuck here…forever. You must return back to earth before somebody finds you here.", she tells him with a serious look on her face. "Soulmate...stuck here…somebody… who's 'somebody'? All of this is way too much to take in. How'd I even end up here? I don't want to be here. I want to go home. It's too soon, I don't think I'm ready for all this. When can I leave?", he desperately asks. "Any time you prefer, but the longer you stay the longer the dream. You'll have to leave soon or else you're going to be stuck here forever. Just be safe because there's an insane world out there. You won't be able to handle it with your soft hearted self. The most dangerous area is the void between heaven and earth.", she replied and paused for a while to allow him to absorb everything she told him. "I'll go get the wings.", she said as she slowly walked away into the wilderness. "Wings?", he softly said to himself. A few twilight seconds passed before she finally returned with a pink crystal in her hands. He looked at her confusion and asked, "Uhm…where are the wings?" "Be quite will you? This is the crystal of Lavenderae. With it, I'm going to summon a pair of wings for you and it's meant to guide you towards me. I've waited endlessly to find someone to give it to. You're the chosen one. The one that's meant to set me free.", she told him. He was in complete astonishment. Suddenly, she says something that sounded like complete gibberish and a pair of wings subsequently spawned. He was still in daze, and unexpectedly levitated and with no control, turned around and she magically attached the wings on to him. He turned him around so he faces her again and passionately says, "I hope you find me my love." She said it in a manner that seemed very sympathetic and concerning. "I will…thank you for everything Angela. I'll try to navigate my way through. I'll help you get out of here. My intuition tells me that you're the one, the one I once fell in love with at some point. We will figure a way out and I promise that we'll meet again. I love you.", he earnestly said with confidence that was reassuring. "I love you too. Please try to be safe my prince. I'll try to find a way to communicate with you through the crystal. Hopefully you will receive my signals.", she says compassionately. A few twilight minutes passed. He looked at her and wondered how his 'dream' could get any more lucid then it already was. He subsequently walks away towards the gates of heaven. They stare at each others for the last few twilight seconds. "Wait! Before you go…I love you. Please don't let me down.", she said and paused for a moment. "Also… please don't interact with the creatures in the second dimension.", she said as she approached him. He looks at her with concern. "Sure, I hope to see you again." he says his last words to her and the brace closer for a good-bye kiss.
He jumps down and as he fell he looked at her slowly fade away. He turns around and begins his odyssey by passionately soaring through the bleached bright clouds at a very high speed. At first they were hard to operate until he gained control and figured out how to manoeuvre them.
On his way he discovered the second dimension which gradually started to become more visible. It was an extra-terrestrial world that was incredulously unimaginable. It was coloured by dark purple and blue bizarre cloud-like features, that swirled around the area, emitting sparks that seemed to be lightning within far proximity. Suddenly, he began to see alien figures vividly and promptly fly by. Echoes of voices and weird sounds filled the air. He was terrified. He remembered what Angel had told him so his aim was to soar through everything and avoid any interactions at all costs. Within split twilight seconds, he unexpectedly crashes into a solid surface with great impact. It seemed to be a solid frozen cloud surrounded by fog. He slowly gained consciousness after the impact and observed his surrounding. He started to feel a bizarre feeling happening to his body, slowly gaining weird symptoms. This realm was certainly not adopted for him. He begins to fly around while falling back to the surface like an injured baby bird. The crystal he held began to glow then he suddenly felt better again. A random unclear voice started tuning in and out from the crystal. "Swan? Swan! C-c-can you hear m-m-m-me? Hello?", the voice became slightly more clear. It was Angela, this was the way she could communicate with him. There was very bad signal though. "Hey Angela? I can hear you? I fell down on to a solid platform. I have no idea where I am and I think I need help.", He said. "What? I ca-ca'nt he-rrr-e you. Hello?", she said. The crystal ignited and made a very loud pitched sound. They lost signal. He suddenly developed new features from the crystal and his wings became larger. "I have to get out of here." One of these features was a toxic scent to draw away predators. He began to walk slowly because he was too weak to fly and his crystal seems to be rejuvenating. A few twilight hours passed and the bizarre realm appeared darker and green now, as if it had been covered by a magician's cape (Harry Potter would definitely like it here. Not too relatable with Sir. Swan on the other hand.) It was probably the beginning of dusk. Hence the darkness, the purple skies began to glow and the sparks filled the air with gloomy night lights. A baby blue moon appeared behind him. It wasn't too bad after all. Says the ill-fated hopeless-romantic.
He begins to inspect the area and notices a very absurd figure in the distance. He then braces himself for the worst and gallantly gets closer to figure out what the figure was. It suddenly began to move closer to him which made him slowly back off. Out of the blue the creature became more clear. It was surprisingly a beautiful yet queer female alien.
She was gorgeous with large bright sage green eyes, a blanched neon white skin tone with little purple bumps which formed a pattern around her body, two small antenna-like structures projected on her forehead and long auburn squid-like tentacles on her head that resembled a medusa look.
He approached her and tried to introduce himself. Before he could even say a word he randomly heard a voice in his head. Struck by the fear, his brown eyes became wider and his dark pupils dilated. He couldn't move. She was communicating with him through his mind. "Hola! Me llamo Gloxinia Mixxiranyia. Te ves sabroso.", she says something in a language that seemed to be Spanish, but with a weird robotic alien accent. "I'm sorry I don't understand that." he replied to her vocally." "Que?", she asked telepathically. He responds but this time telepathically, "Yo no comprendo espanol. Yo hablo ingles. Wait what?" He asks himself and looks at her in confusion. "No wait I don't speak Spanish. What in the world just happened?" , he demandingly asks. The alien stared at him with a blank facial expression. He tried to speak again but telepathically, "I don't speak Spanish how'd you do that?", he asks again but in a calmer tone. "We speak through the mind, I misinterpreted your linguistic aura type. I'm sorry I didn't scan you right the first time that's why I spoke in Spanish. My name's Gloxinia Mixxiranyia. Pronounced as, ' Glow-zi-nia…Mizi-rania.' Which is one word by the way. You can call me Ray, my people call me Ranyia. Whatever you prefer. Who are you? And where do you come from? You seem to be from an intellectual being.", she asked. "I'm Swan, I'm from earth…also known as Gaia, I'm from the Alkebulan descendants. I'm currently on my way back there. I just flew from heaven earlier and lost track", he tells her. "Heaven...heaven…heaven…you're with those creatures… Splendid! Let me show you around I guess.", she said with a concerning facial expression.
The queer alien had an enigmatic persona with an aura that was challenging to interpret. The feeling was overwhelming and it made him feel uncomfortable yet safe. "I was hunting before I sensed you in the distance after the loud bang. Your type is pretty loud. We don't like noise here. You have a very beautiful smell too, I love the ones who smell good. You may only communicate telepathically once you meet my people. You wouldn't want them to hear you they are hungry and aggressive.", she says. "Oh…where are we going?", he asked in fear. "I told you I'm going to show you around didn't I? I would like to treat my guest with utmost respect so I make you feel comfortable with your new home. We're going to have fun. I'm sure I'll enjoy having your company. Ignore the others, they might want to get you first.", she says with a very creepy lower tone sound. He was now in complete fear for his life. "New home? I have to be somewhere. I don't think I have time for this.", he hesitantly replies. Her eyes suddenly became wider and a bright light emerged from them. A purple gas seeped through her body bumps and surrounded him. "Shhhhht…you're in good hands my king." He agreed with a wide smile, unaware that he was being hypnotized with a toxin. The hypnosis effect made him fall in love with her and forget about his quest to find Angela.
"You're so beautiful queen. I think I like you Ray. You're pretty… like you're pretty cute…cute and pretty…exquisite!", he says with a drunk tone (kinda like the one Rick from Rick and Morty uses when he's drunk.) "Of course you do, you're my delicate king, a very special one. I like you way more than you think. Your people are worth the meal." They explored the realm and she told him about every feature they came across and the ethnic ways of their people. He didn't say a single word throughout the journey. A few twilight months passed and he started becoming attached to her. He was relatively sober but unaware of why he was so obsessed with this random character. He never experienced the feelings she made him feel. She had polymorphous feelings and emotions which often left him in daze. It was probably her alien demeanour. Although it was a challenge, he tried to cope with her aura metamorphosis.
The obsession he had for her was ridiculous. It started to make him a little bit curious hence the hypnosis. This was a way the beings of Gloxinia would prepare their meals. He didn't know that he was going through an initiation program to be feasted upon. Fortunately for him, after a few twilight years she eventually fell in love with him. She actually like the way she was being treated. Swan was a overly romantic young man. This lead to her reconsidering consuming him. She eventually accepts his charming grandeur after a long romantic journey. This gradually led to an experience close to an affair. She made him experience the same feeling as testing a new drug or being a novice to bad habit. After some time, they eventually began an actual affair.
Subsequently, during the course of the affair Swan slowly started to gain awareness and he remembered about his quest to find Angela. He began acting and playing it cool just to make sure she doesn't realize that he knows everything that she did and said to him. Everything was going well, until she started losing interest the more he spoke to her because she realized his feelings weren't as genuine as they were.
"My magic ran out…and I can read your thoughts by the way. I know you know everything. I was going to feed on you, but I didn't. I haven't eaten in twilight ages. I'm okay though don't worry my love. I just became romantically attracted to you. This is a disgrace to our being.", she candidly speaks to him. "I don't like you anymore. Therefore, I will set you free without any further interaction. I haven't showed you my people because I know they'll devour you with no second thoughts.", she continued.
Ray was no longer interested in Swan. He didn't contain enough toxicity to satisfy her insatiable character on her planet in order to feast upon. Thus, she unexpectedly leaves him in twilight blur because she noticed he didn't have the features she desired. Twilight blur means instantly disappearing in dream. What a fortunate fate for the forsaken protagonist
