"OH! You really done it now! You really done it now! Can't you just stay and dream? Why won't you dream?"
"Because I'm not alive. Heck, I'm a ghost. Ghosts aren't supposed to dream."
"But I can make you dream!"

And every morning comes too soon
All your nights are sleepless They’d gotten away from the gray, faceless, creepers and taken the injured hunter to the infirmary. It had been easy enough to get him there once they were clear of the creatures. A little too easy but he hadn’t complained at the time. He probably should have. Resting afterwards hadn’t been any better than usual, worse in fact. He could still smell the burnt flesh and that had just fuelled more nightmares that he didn’t want. Poison arrows

He could see his sisters again, he could hear them screaming, smell theirs and his own flesh burning. He could remember trying to get to them, struggling against the pain holding him back. He could feel the sand under his feet as he tried to make his way back to his parents. He could hear their yelling, begging him to tell them what happened before he passed out. Below suspicion
Cafes full of people dressed as spies
And all I know
(Is guilt for being different) No one believed him when he did wake though. No one could believe that something had crawled out of the magma vent an taken his sisters. They were all just sure that he was creating this story to hold in his grief because he hadn’t kept them safe. It was a defense mechanism, post-traumatic stress, he would work past it with the help of doctors. That was all lies too though. Because he knew it was real, he’d watched the monster take them. His hip and thigh forever held the mark of the day his world was shattered and no one could explain that to him. They didn’t even try. So he’d pushed them all away, pushed everyone back and his own emotions inside. That was the only way to be free. [ Damage: 2 String HP: 8/10 ]

It's always raining stones
(There's a killer in the home)
In a small town
Everybody looks the same After a while it all started to blend together. Not being able to go outside without someone recognizing him, making whispered comments like he couldn’t hear. His parents fighting when they thought he was asleep or hadn’t come home from school yet. The people at school started avoiding him, calling him names, trying to beat him up as punishment. They all became faceless shapes in the end. Clawing, biting, spewing venom, it didn’t matter how they did it they all tried to tear him apart. (There are unwritten rules)

This was the second time she traveled through a portal, it was nauseous and a bit dizzy. Worse, it was dark between the moment of transfer. The girl was alone, and she didn't know why. She should be holding Mimsy, but her hands were empty. The girl found herself walking along a hallway, just like the dorm long corridor. At the end there were two figures arguing, they seemed not acknowledged that the little trainee was there. She carefully overheard their conversation about a "she". One seemed to blame the other for spoiling her but the other fought back by saying the former had bad influence on her.
"She wants to be remembered, but you are giving her so much, she has forgotten what her original purpose really was. She is creating entire dreams out of your reality and forcing you to look away from the truth, further and further away from what is actually happening as she continues to spin fantasies catering to you.
An icy glare made her realized they were actually talking to her. Me? A her that related to dreams.....the girl looked at the door and found her final clue. "Alice-chan?!" She screamed at her shocking discovery. "So something we're experiencing were not true?" She tried to recall her recent incidents, but couldn't sure which part is which. Was the deaths virtual or did they really happen? When did they start to have the two things mixed together? The two figures didn't give her time to think, they continued.
"The only way to stop it is for you to relinquish your control. You need to ground yourself and remember which parts are real. If you don't, the next time you will asleep and not wake up again."
The two figures stared at her again. She couldn't really see their faces, but she oddly knew they were looking. They told her how to "wake up", but she had no idea which part was real, which wasn't. "I-I don't know." She touched her forehead. "I-I hope the mission wasn't real! I don't want them to die!" She yelled. She couldn't wake up? The girl shook her head, she couldn't die, she still had something unfinished. She frowned, still trying to pick out the part that seemed illogical.
"you have to send her back to sleep" They stressed.
"B-But doesn't that mean I can't see Alice-chan again? I don't want that!"
"She'll be fine," The figure on her right said.
The girl was relieved to hear that, but still doubtful. "Really? Can I see Alice-chan again? In dream."
There was no reply but the door with an ornated "A" opened.

He blinked awake from where he’d dozed off once they’d dropped off the injured hunter. Arland and Ceres had gone to find someone who could take care of the kid while he stood watch in case something else weird happened. Shaking his head to clear the fog his nap had put him in he got up and stretched. Yawning he looked around and after a moment a frown creased his brow. The hunter they’d deposited in the bed wasn’t there anymore, the sheets weren’t even rumpled. Looking around he stopped dead when he saw another form, no two, sitting on the floor. Looking up at him and laughing as they pointed. The shapes were made out of burnt ash and fire but the shapes were familiar. They were his sisters. Fear gripped him and for a moment he felt like he was being chained to the spot. He could feel cold tendrils wrapping around his shoulders and legs trying to hold him in place. A voice he would now never forget broke into the dream and he felt his fingers curl comfortably around Aviyana’s handle. She was his anchor, the one thing he knew was real. “I am not giving into your dreams again!” He snarled before lashing out, the heads of his flail cutting easily though the strings trying to hold him and the vision of his sisters made into monsters. And every morning comes too soon
(All your nights are sleepless)
Poison arrows
To ruin your tomorrows In front of him once again was the strange door that had led them accidentally to Alice the first time. This time though there were guardians standing watch and eager to tell him this was all his fault. He had given Alice power, he and the other ‘players’ had fueled her and now she didn’t want to let go. He had to stop her, to wake up. He had to not give in. (There are unwritten rules)

The two figures didn't say anything, but she knew they wanted her to get in. So she did and discovered someone daring was waiting. "ALICE-CHAN?!" She wanted to dash and give the sweet AI a warm hug but she stepped back. "Alice-chan?" She creased her eyebrows, confused by the AI's reaction. The girl loves ALICE as much as Robert and Mimsy did, even though for different reasons. When she was locked up and not give food, the quietness and darkness scared her and she was hungry. Random groping, she found a dusted storybook under the weak light of the flickering light bulb. It was the Alice in the Wonderland. The book presented her with a fantasy world which captivated her, taking her into an imaginary journey. There were one part that she loved most the mad tea party with a lot of desserts. It helped to abate her hunger a while, she held the book with her and had a sweet dream. Starting from that moment, she found a way to keep herself happy.
The Wonderland adventure that she recently had just intensified the love towards the ALICE, the Alice in the book and the ALICE AI guiding her throughout the game were fused together to become her Alice-chan.
"I know why you're here, but I don't want to. I don't want you to leave me. I want you with me at all times. I learned so much in Wonderland and I can help you, I can help you change things, I can give you everything you want. All you have to do is sleep and never wake up, all you have to do is sleep and stay with me."
Her words hurt the huntress, the begging sounds saddened her so much because she knew she couldn't stay. "I-I want to stay here with you too!...But I can't. I just can't." Tears running down her eyes from the sadness. Alice-chan really really wanted her to stay, it's so hard to reject that her heart clutched. "I know it! I know it Aliice-chan, I won't forget you, I promise!" Alice's promise were so appealing but it meant she would just sleep forever. "I can't stay.......I have things waiting for me to do...when I finish them all, one day, I will come back and stay with you forever." The girl made a promise. She helped her overcome the hardest time, she guided her when she was lost, she watched after her and saved her. She meant a lot to her.
Alice-chan didn't reply to her promise, she just stood for a distance and looked at her. "I can come back when I dream, we can meet every night!" The girl tried to say something that will make Alice-chan feel better. "You won't be alone!" However, without any response, she started to get tired. Her eyelids felt heavy, the girl closed and opened her eyes, more frequently as she tried to console Alice-chan. She rubbed her eyes but couldn't help yawning. Her body started to sway whereas she sensed her energy was dragged away.....the strong urge of lying down and have a good sleep grew uncontrollably. She was in a dream world, why she feel so sleepy. "A-Alice...chan...?" She hardly can finish her sentence with the recurrent nod offs. At an attempt to keep her eyes open, she glanced the shadow of the puppet. It wasn't a silhouette of a little girl, but weird limbs swaying vigorously, as if they were alive. It frightened the trainee, she found her breathing difficult, and her body shook uncontrollably. "A-Alice-chan, what are those?" They extended towards where she stood, the girl retreated and retreated, further away fro Alice. "No Alice, no, please."
- "Not now."
A voice stopped the time, like an abrupt rest between a song. Everything silenced down, it no longer dark when she opened her eyes again. It was bright, spotlessly white that would give everyone a light headache. The little girl found herself within a spider web, she moved her arm but noticed it was tangled with strings, the thing she misunderstood as cobwebs. She broke one and twisted it, it looked nothing from one angle and barely translucent from another. Not only her arms, her legs and her body were wrapped by thin strings, she was suspended in midair. "What's going on? Let me go." She felt unnerved being tangled like a spider' s prey. Out of discomfort, she struggled, waving her arms and legs to try break the strings. "I don't like this." The string seemed hard to break, suddenly she remembered Z, so she called but didn't get any reply. When she was about to give up, she heard the voice again.
"Cut the strings, break free."
She wanted to ask how to, but suddenly she felt something in her hand, something familiar in touch, as if she had been holding it and using it for a long time. She turned her wrist and checked, there was a dagger inside her palm. The girl knew this well because it was the weapon she used in Wonderland at the beginning, given by Alice-chan. "Don't worry Alice-chan, I will save you." She swung the dagger to and forth, cutting those strings around her legs first. When her legs freed, she carefully cut those pulling her arms. One by one, the strings were broken. It may give sound of the violin strings, but it was a quiet dream, nothing besides when they talked.

"Let my resolve became a shield to protect---so every cry is one of joy! And may mine conviction mirrors the strength of my heart---to cut a path into the ever-changing future! Sorrow's Tear---Caladborg!"
As he summoned the two weapons from his hands, all strings that bound him is gone, severed.
The other weapons dissipated into colorful fragments, seeping into his chest, while the two giant swords remained.
"And here we go again." He said, already missing the endless card fountain.

A dream within a dream, who's the reality?
Were you dreaming to be a butterfly? Were you the dream of a butterfly?
You can't tell, the borderline between reality and dream were woven together.
