Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 81 - Hunted

Chapter 81 - Hunted

[The ???? Domain]

The red armoured Shawn Kindle steps out of a red portal, accompanied by several wolf like dream beings. These red wolves were at least twice the size of your average wolf, and seem to be well trained as well. Their noses were all to the ground, trying to sniff out a particular scent.

The ???? Domain is the unusual name of Fred Clover's domain, no doubt because he could not name his domain, since he is only human. One of the dream beings picks up a scent, and howls to let Shawn know that it has found something.

Shawn Kindle: What is it? Can you find him? Do you know where he is?! (Shawn asks desperately)

"Growl!" (The wolf sounded confidently)

Shawn Kindle: Good, very good, Chase Horde! (Shawn says as he pats the red wolf on the head)... Let's move out! We've got a thief to catch! (Shawn says as the opens a portal, allowing all the wolves to run into it)

Before Shawn enters the portal he summons a red energy construct in his hand, which looks a lot like a cell phone.

Sean Kindle: Hello, Mr Zeus. I'm close to finding the thief that stole your dragon, I'm heading to where I think he is now. So call me when you get this, okay? (Shawn says before finally stepping into the portal, which closes shortly afterwards)

Back at the Dream Kingdom Domain, Darasimi begins to tell the story of Toby's future, and the young dreamer is very attentive.

Darasimi Daniels: I don't know when and I don't know how, but it all starts with the sky opening up. Everyone is scared and confused, they don't understand what is happening, and that's when it happens. Monsters begin to fall from the sky, descending down into our world. The weapons we have on earth can barely work against them, we are all at their mercy. (Darasimi explains, but is interrupted)

Toby Robinson: Please wait a minute, what did these monsters even look like? (Toby asks her, looking a little bit worried)

Darasimi Daniels: They literally come in all shapes and sizes. Some look like animals, others were nonliving things, and some even looked human, even though they were not. (Darasimi says as she glances at Charming)

Toby Robinson: Are you saying dream beings will take over the world?! (Toby asks in shock)

Darasimi Daniels: Yes, or at Ieast I think so. (Darasimi tells him with uncertainty)

Toby Robinson: This is bad, really bad! And what am I supposed to do to stop them?! (Toby asks her)

Darasimi Daniels: Well... you... (Darasimi says nervously, before continuing her tale of the future)

Sometime in the future, Toby Robinson is standing in a city that is under attack by an army of dream beings, all coming down from the blue portal in the dark sky.

Toby is clad in bright blue armor, is wielding a burning red sword, and is carrying a glowing blue shield. He looks much stronger in this future, and doesn't look afraid of the obvious threat.

Future Toby Robinson: Don't worry, guys. I've got this! (Toby says before bending down slightly)

A red cape emerges from Toby's armoured back, right before he leaps into the air, taking flight instantly.

***********

Toby Robinson: Wait, wait, wait! I can fly in the future?! That is so cool! Where did I get the cape from?! No don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise! (Toby tells her happily)

Darasimi Daniels: Can you let me finish my story please?! (Darasimi yells)

Toby Robinson: Sorry, sorry. Just got excited... Please continue. (Toby tells her)

Darasimi Daniels: So you flew up into the sky, took out a ton of these dream beings, and then you flew into the portal. And that's where my dream ends. (Darasimi quickly explains the rest)

Toby Robinson: Wait that can't be it, right? I mean how did I take down those dream beings? Did I use telekinesis? Or shoot energy blasts from my hands? Oh, maybe I created a giant explosion that took them all out in one fell swoop! (Toby said excitedly)

Darasimi Daniels: What is wrong with you?! (Darasimi yells at him, angered by his attitude)

Toby Robinson: What did I do? (Toby asks her)

Darasimi Daniels: I just told you that the world is going to end, and it might probably be soon, and all you can think about is yourself?! (Darasimi yells in anger)

Toby thinks about this for a moment, and realises that she is right, he does have to take this more seriously.

Toby Robinson: You're right, I'm sorry for not taking this seriously... So, what do you suggest we do? Right now I can't use my powers in the real world, let alone fly or defeat hundreds of dream beings by myself. So what should I do with all this information you have given me? (Toby asks her)

Darasimi Daniels: Umm.... I don't really know to be honest. I got these powers after I moved here from Nigeria. They were always kind of there, but I couldn't use them on the scale that I can now... I can see the future of others when I'm in their dreams, or when I concentrate really hard. But the future I always see, the future that stands out the most to me, has always been yours, Toby. And I felt that if I don't tell you this future, then it might just end up happening, and I don't want that. (Darasimi explains to him)

Toby Robinson: I suggest a partnership. You help me out with your visions of the future, and I'll try my best to stop the end of the world... Deal? (Toby asks as he extends a hand to her)

Darasimi Daniels: .... Deal. (Darasimi says as she takes the hand, and the two shake in agreement)

But then a vision suddenly fills Darasimi's mind, letting her know of a terrible event, that will soon come to pass.

Darasimi Daniels: Toby, you need to run!(Darasimi warns before her body quickly reverts back to its energy based appearance, so therefore she loses her ability to speak)... No, no, no, not now! Toby you need to get out of here! Some powerful people are coming for you, and you can't win against them! (Darasimi warns him frantically)

But to Toby Darasimi's words are now very hard to understand, he only really heard his name, which was the only clear thing he heard her say.

Darasimi Daniels: .... Listen to me!... leave... or... will die! (Darasimi manages to say to his understanding, but her body disappears shortly afterwards)

Toby Robinson: Okay what the heck is going on? (Toby asks in utter confusion)

Suddenly a loud explosion rocks the entire Dream Kingdom Domain, making Toby and his dream beings lose their balance temporarily.

Toby Robinson: What was that?! (Toby asks in panic)

Prince Charming: We might be under attack, My Lord! (Charming tells him)

Browny: "Roar!!!" (Browny roars in anger)

[Warning: Your Domain Is In Danger]

[You Must Defend It]

Toby Robinson: Oh no. (Toby says in worry, remembering Darasimi's last words to him, the words that included 'will die')... Am I gonna die? (Toby asks in fear, uncertain of the fate that awaits him)

Outside of the Royal Castle, Shawn Kindle has squashed several butter ants with his corruption chains, and is reeling them back into his armour.

Shawn Kindle: So this is it, Chase Horde? (Shawn asks his dream beings)

"Growl!" (The wolves all growl in response, baring their sharp teeth)

Next: The Corrupted Dreamer.
