The red flames that had scattered in the chamber remained on their spot and didn't move or vanish. Rudy threw a flame at Nyxia, but it vanished as soon as it illuminated her face.
He tried it a few times until Nyxia finally spoke.
"Stop that!"
"What's all this?" Rudy asked while pointing his hands and gazing around. "New setup?
"Why did you call me?" Nyxia asked without replying to Rudy's question.
"Did you… summon me here?"
"...obviously not. I am not powerful enough to summon the Lord… at least… not anymore…"
"But I am here, though? So… what's going on?"
"This is not real."
"Great. Another illusion of yours?"
"Not quite right. This is a dream."
"Now I am more confused. I was washing dishes in my house, so how did I end up in a dream… where we are conversing? Also, what is this place?"
Rudy asked again with the same expression.
"You should know better. You are the one who is dreaming."
