[b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Streets[/u][/i][/b]

[i]As Kaito and Reeta left, Lucent looked at the empty street.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/dBTj77y.png[/img]
Lucent: I know someone's there. Get out now.

[i]As he said that, a strange young woman got out from a hole on the ground and looked at him. He was startled by her sudden appearance.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/I9hWzlP.png[/img]
???: Oh my, I was found. That was unexpected.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: !! W-Who are you?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VcQVKL2.png[/img]
???: That really doesn't matter since time is really short and I'm in a hurry. So let me just eat your dream quietly.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/TuhT9uk.png[/img]
Lucent: (A dream-eater?!)

[i]She tried to absorb whatever dream Lucent had through her strange pink matter. However, nothing came out of him.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/kS6d3Hm.png[/img]
???: How weird. You don't have a single dream.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: There's... nothing for you to eat here.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/sJjPSJT.png[/img]
???: Hmm... perchance you are a dream-eater as well?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/83cdpUp.png[/img]
Lucent: Y-Yeah, I am.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hAOawIJ.png[/img]
???: So I'm walking into known territory, I guess. Not that I care, of course.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/fH3l57Y.png[/img]
???: Say, why don't we share the dreams then? You eat a portion and I eat another portion.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img]
Lucent: I'm not hungry nor interested. Besides, let them dream quietly. Reality is already a nightmare for the people of this town.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/UZ1UIX7.png[/img]
???: Oh, I see now. How nice, I thought this was your territory but it seems that no one is possessing it right now.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/sJjPSJT.png[/img]
???: Well then, if you excuse me, I need to chase those humans who just left.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: N-No! Leave them be, they don't have dreams as well!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hAOawIJ.png[/img]
???: On the contrary, I smelled delectable dreams coming from those two. It rose my appetite.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/49VCMDa.png[/img]
???: And since they were going to a school, I suppose more humans are there, so a feast is waiting for me.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: (She's aiming to eat the dreams of everyone at school. She can easily go unnoticed and devour all of them... if she does that, then...!!)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/kS6d3Hm.png[/img]
???: OK, we're done chatting I guess, so I'll go ahead. Good day to you.

[i]Just as she finished speaking, she grazed a wolf right in front of her. When she looked back at Lucent, a black fog began to leak as red eyes looked directly at her.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/bkej3Go.png[/img]
Lucent: You're not touching those humans. I won't let you.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/I9hWzlP.png[/img]
???: So, not only you're also a dream-eating demon... but you still wish to defend those humans...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VcQVKL2.png[/img]
???: Well then, defector. Once I'm done with you, I'm after those two and the rest of the humans near them.
Lucent: (I never thought I'd do this... but if this is what I must to...)

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ooPDhot.png[/img]
[i]He summoned a grimoire. As he opened it, an unknown form with wings rose and instantly vanished. His coat closed by itself as he prepared his heart for the first battle of his entire life. He had to protect Kaito and the others from whoever this is.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/6bnyeSO.png[/img]
Lucent: Kill her on sight and leave no remains...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nQKcwLE.png[/img]
???: Hahaha! I'd love to see you try, but I'm putting you down here, you miserable halfling!

[b][i][u]Location: Glory Star Orphanage - Backyard[/u][/i][/b]

[i]While all children were playing together, Kiragi isolated himself in the backyard. He was still sad about Rayla and Tiane's departure, having no mood for playing with the others right now.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/4KLRCXU.png[/img]
Kiragi: ... Nothing is fun today. Everyone called me to play but I don't want to...

[i]He laid down on the grass and looked at the sky. Kiragi closed his eyes for a bit and was almost resting. When he opened them, two little creatures were looking at him.[/i]

Kiragi: AAAAAAAAAAH!! G-G-Ghosts!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vWi7sao.png[/img]
???: GHOSTS?! Where?! WHERE?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/i5X9Eab.png[/img]
???: He meant us, empty-head.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hayOLFX.png[/img]
???: Ooooh!! We do look like ghosts to humans, alright.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/i5X9Eab.png[/img]
???: Oh bother...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4KLRCXU.png[/img]
Kiragi: W-What do you want with me?! I-I'm not tasty!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/iIczHsM.png[/img]
???: Will you pipe down already? We're not here to eat you.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/UQFhRxe.png[/img]
???: Yeah yeah! We're here to ask something to you!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/itYnUcw.png[/img]
Kiragi: A-Ask something to me...?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mxSTVlL.png[/img]
???: So, hey, do you know where's this takoyaki I heard of?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/EVzmQXt.png[/img]
Kiragi: Takoyaki? That's food. And I don't know where to-
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9S6co1u.png[/img]
???: Don't go off topic now... ugh, I'll handle this.

[i]The black floating spirit advanced towards Kiragi and took a photo out of nowhere.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/i5X9Eab.png[/img]
???: Tell me everything you know about this person.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WWApZ6z.png[/img]
Kiragi: That's... Big Bro Lucent! I know him, he lives here with me!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7AmSr90.png[/img]
???: I see... so we did come to the right place.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hayOLFX.png[/img]
???: Really?! YOSH!! Mission complete!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/iIczHsM.png[/img]
???: But not. Don't go overboard yet.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/8ohyuBZ.png[/img]
???: Okay...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/i5X9Eab.png[/img]
???: You. What's your name?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/PuDUUnd.png[/img]
Kiragi: I-I'm Kiragi Starlight!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cVyb5Sg.png[/img]
???: Oh, that's such a cool name! Kiragi Starlight! I like it!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mxSTVlL.png[/img]
???: Hey, Kiragi! Let's make a promise!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/f5nFkR2.png[/img]
Kiragi: Promise...?
???: It's not much of a promise and more so like a pact. We'll lend you powers and you'll help us.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hm1aRZU.png[/img]
Kiragi: Powers...? You mean, like magic and those sorts of things I read on books?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/UQFhRxe.png[/img]
???: Yes!! Like, we'll give you super cool powers!

[i]Kiragi thought about it, but didn't think twice. He wanted to be powerful too, like his big brothers and sisters.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/WWApZ6z.png[/img]
Kiragi: I-I'll do the promise... pact... thingy!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cVyb5Sg.png[/img]
???: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! WE DID IT!! WE DID IT!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3N7idsu.png[/img]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/vWi7sao.png[/img]
???: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Scary face!!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/iIczHsM.png[/img]
???: Honestly, you stupid twin brother...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WWApZ6z.png[/img]
Kiragi: By the way, who are you two?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cVyb5Sg.png[/img]
???: I'm [b]Ictio[/b]! I'm a Dream Sprite!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Hc1apXA.png[/img]

Umbra: Now then...

Ictio and Umbra: [b]Power of dreams and nightmares, heed us! With your strength, bestow upon this children power to defy reality as a whole![/b]

[i]With their lights, Umbra and Ictio bathed Kiragi with their powers. He felt something strang running inside of him.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/f5nFkR2.png[/img]
Kiragi: This is...!

Umbra: Pact complete.

Umbra: Now, we'll be counting on your assistance, Lord Kiragi.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/itYnUcw.png[/img]
Kiragi: L-Lord?

Ictio: Yeah, 'cuz like your our Lord now, so Lord Kiragi it is!

Kiragi: I... I see...

Kiragi: (Now I can protect everyone, even the Big Bros! With their help, I'm gonna save everyone, I'm sure!)

[b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Second-Year Class C[/u][/i][/b]

[i]Since they all went to their classrooms, Auror sat to wait for Rayla and the others, who were taking too long to appear. Bothered, he took out his cellphone.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img]
Auror: OK, they're officially taking too damn long to come. I better call Rayla first. *dials Rayla's number*
