4 Chapter Three - Magical dreams

Days, weeks, and months had passed since Lunox experienced that kind of dream. She's so confused about it, she has been thinking about it a lot and want to know how is it even possible to control a dream with a different personality and awareness that she's just dreaming.

She was roaming their school library and finding some books to read. Lunox are really interested on reading books. Her day won't end without reading any page of a book.

While enjoying the atmosphere and smell of new books inside the library, one book caught her attention that is in a shelf that has 'Fantasy' written above.

One book caught her attention entitled "Different Kinds of Magics" she get the book and find a right spot to read the book. She can't find a seat so she sat on the floor, surrounded with books. She opened the title page and was shocked after reading the letter that was written on the first page.

'Hello reader, you must be a mage or a person who's interested in magic and mages. Every detail in this book are real and came from the Queen of mages, Kadita and was written by a fellow mage. It is up to you if you'll believe in this kind of stuffs or not and believe that this is just a fantasy. If you're mage and searching a detail about your magic, then you're in the right book! Enjoy reading and explore your magic!'

She didn't know that this is even possible. Yes, it is true that Kadita was their queen but... she can't believe that there are kinds of book like this on this world. Not knowing how this book was published, she proceed to the next page and saw normal stuffs and normal magics that fake magicians would do on every carnival and festival. Those magic with tricks to fool normal people.

She can't find any interesting magic until she remembered something. Her dream. Is it possible that her dream was part of her magic? An untold magic? She got more confused about that. Maybe she has the power to control that dream because of magic. While keeping on turning pages, a girl with a blue hair sat beside her. It was Karina.

"Karina? What you doing here?" Lunox asked, "As far as I know, you should be on your Math class this time."

Karina opened a book "Why do people come in the library?"

Lunox got confused at what Karina said but chose to answer its question. "Uh... to read?" she answered.

"Exactly." Karina said

"Ah." Lunox smiled awkwardly.

That's how Karina talks. She can just say 'I'm here to read some books.' right? There are two kinds of Karina; she'll confuse you until you got her point and the i-don't-give-a-fuck-don't-talk-to-me.

So she's in the library to read some books and ditched a class. What a brat.

An awkward atmosphere surrounded the two of them... or Lunox is the only one who felt awkward. Lunox is really uncomfortable with Karina and easily got awkward when she's with her. Maybe it's because they're not that close and she doesn't know Karina's personality. Lunox only know that Karina is a mysterious type of a person because she don't express something to her even though they are roommates for a year.

She just continue to read the book she's reading and don't mind Karina. Lunox stopped on a page when she noticed something. The page was entitled 'Magical Dreams'. Lunox red the page and learned a lot of details.

So there are kinds of dreams that mages can only do. There is a dream called Clairvoyant; a mage who has the power to dream about the future and will able to predict what will happen. The other one is the Split; they will have a dream wherein their personality is different. There is also a dream called Gallivanter; they can travel through their dream on a long period of time and different places. The last one is the Oneironautics; people who has this kind of dream has an ability to be aware that they are just dreaming.

Lunox realized the she had the three kinds of dream. The split, the gallivanter, and the oneironautics. It is also said on the book that mages who has this abilities still don't know on how or when will that dreams will happen. It is said that most of the mages experienced it randomly when they are sleeping. Those dreams are only experienced by the chosen one in the family. She continued on reading and notice the warning below.

'Warning: if you have the gallivanter and split, be cautious. Don't travel too long in your dreams. Remember that you have a different personality. There are possibilities that you'll forgot who you really are and only remember the things you had in your dream.'

Lunox was amazed after reading. She's a mage but she didn't know that this is possible. And... why? Why is she the chosen one?

"Interested in magic?"

She turn to see Karina and saw the poker face of her.

"Y-yes. Why?"

"Me too. I believe in magic and mages," Karina stand up and leave Lunox. "Gotta go."

Lunox let Karina go and read more details. She can't still believe that her dream is just a part of her being a mage. And what she can't forget is the warning. So what if she traveled so far and forgot who she really is?
