Aubrey laugh, like how could she possibly told her what happened when her consciousness was not on that moment. But Ms. Canlas gave her a strong gaze made her thrilled and creates a plot on what just happened. She thinks deeply and with her words out, it then became the reality in that world.
"When I collapsed, Zecheng tried his best to protect me. When he manage to put down some of the gaurds, the king then wants a one on one fight. Specially because he was too weak, and was easy too kill. The king enjoy his fight with him cause he cut woumds on Zecheng's waist arm and leg. But because he was very immune to those kind of pain, he stays strong and manage to stab the king on his chest. The king was critical so he commands his men to Zecheng. But you came and with your vanishing ability you made us scape?" Aubrey storytells.
"Good." Ms Canlas replied.
"How does my story do with my situation?" Aubrey confusedly asked.
Then Ms. Canlas asked Zecheng to remove the coat covering his body.
"Wait, stop.. like seriously Zecheng don't do it. It's very inappropriate" Aubrey intervene.
But Zecheng still do what miss Canlas asked to do. He took of his coat, and the shy Aubrey covered her face. Miss Canlas requested her to look at him. With a little persuasion she look at Zecheng's masculinity. But the more surprising besides that was the wound he got from the fight. She can't believe the wound was exactly the location she has told.
"Do you get the message of what I had just told you." Ms Canlas said.
"I'm good at guessing?"
"No it is you who controls these world. The ink was your loyal servant..." Ms Canlas explained. But the person she was talking with was busy. She was distracted from Zecheng's uncovered body. She begs him to wear his clothes on so he won't catch a cold.
Meanwhile Zecheng finds her cute when she acts old lady and tries to scold him like a child. Miss Canlas sensed it so she stops talking and turn around and pardon herself. Aubrey also shares that she already knew she controls it cause before she entered the dream, The cloak lady also told her. When she mentioned the name cloak lady, Zecheng and miss Canlas suddenly feels goosebumps.
Even the Cloak lady was known to be a villain on there lands. Then Zecheng spoke up and said he knows who the cloak lady was. He then tells a story about the boy who suffers insomnia and was offered by a book, who later on vanished from his existence. Aubrey knew the story but the more surprising event was the guy who went missing was actually Zecheng.
He arrived on the dream world with the name Polaris and a body he has always dreamed of. Zecheng created the first plot and that was the Kingdom of Peace. Ruled by a fickle king unamed, he was cruel and cold. Zecheng met Delbey an outgoing lady. Who then marries the king according to his plot. It's not just the Delbey he knows, the reason why he went missing. But it was the fun and the scape from reality. All his life he live miserable, no fun, study hard for his future. But when he receive an offer by the landlady Devial, he accepted it. Not just to be healed by his insomnia, but he was offered to live for free if he could create a wonderful book and interesting plots through his dream. Then after choosing to be far from the lady Delbey is now having a good life in the kingdom he journeyed and face different adventures to create a wonderful plot. Zecheng was an addict gamer on real world, and what he had just experience from her dream was far more interesting than reality.
But then they had a fight between the lady. Cause he wants to enjoy the dream. But the lady insisted to finished the book cause it must be published. He denies to finish it though. Then the lady calms down and then live the boardhouse. It was also him who told his roommates that the lady was out of town for her husband's health when in fact he knew the lady was actually somewhere to offer. After the party, Zecheng went back to the board house to continue his dream. But he was invited by the lady to go on the basement and get the extension book so he could have a thick pages good for the keeping. With no hesitation he hurriedly went there, and the next memory was be awaken on a village burning. And he doesn't know what actually just happened. But then a memory for Delbey arise and keeps on coming and coming from time to time. He feels like they were in a journey together. Then he suddenly feels to like going back home and saw Aubrey running towards the cliff. Zecheng remembers the memory gap he experience and rescue her.
"You also lost memory?" Aubrey asked.
"What do you mean?" He replied.
"I fall from the Forgotten pool. And gets back here withno clear memories of you. I only thought you were book characters back then." Aubrey amazed by the unremarkable entanglement and connection of their stories.
"The problem is not the pool. It Ms. Devial herself. You falling from at the pool was not an accident but a blessing in disguise. It doesn't just made other characters free, and prisoned the dark ink but also breaks one fourth of your connection with the book." Miss Canlas shared her thought.
Aubrey does not understand what Ms. Canlas said. So she elaborates it more like a teachers discussion. Explaining that Miss Devial has a curse book that you have stolen from her. The ink then follows you as master and enslave every dream character to do their roles according to the tasked you have assign from them. But one character create a perfect plan not being detected by the ink. The plan worked and the characters in the dream are now free to express their real thoughts like a natural dream not controlled or force by a third party between the dreamer and the cast.
"So I should thank Myrtle from that." The dismayed Aubrey attracts Miss Canlas.
"Aubrey are you sad about it?"
"Aahh.. it's not like that. It's just that everything was ruined. I love to experience it again but it is different from before. It can never return from its previous situation. Where Zecheng was close at me. And the adventures-"
"Aubrey stop, these is not your real world and out there was your world and it is waiting for you. Besides these kind of peace can never last forever. I can sense a force coming from outside. Someone is making a ritual to open the gates of the ink. If you continue to live like that then you might as well be swallowed by your own dream and vanish in your world."
"What should I do?"
Miss Canlas look at her so serious. And replied, "Landlady Devial is making her ritual, go and stop her plan."
