The dream started as it always did. His friends around him, all staring at Minamus. All of them were shouting, but none were making any noise. Then Minamus started laughing, and the shadows rippled from him enveloping all of them in darkness and maniacal laughter.

And then Alex would wake up.

This time, him and the crew were staying in an Inn, which is nice for a change. All of the guys were in here, the girls were next door. Alex, at the back of the room could see Minamus in the oppositepart of the room from him, wanting to avoid the spiriter as best he could. you see, Minamus is a shadow beast of sorts. More a human king than a beast among them, but either way, it meant one thing: Alex could unmake him.

James slept to the right of Alex, clutching his blade close. James' sword is very special. It allows him to step on light its self, making him the opposite of Minamus, who can move through shadows. James also has the power of nothingness. To put it simply, if he didn't want it to exist, it didn't. If it made sense to him that something did exist, it did. It was all a matter of self-suggestion. But if he wanted to influence another, that was hard. he'd need to influence that person and all others who know the same fact.

Kreis, the newest member of the group, seemed sound asleep across from Alex. It was a relief for him to see, as the boy hadn't been sleeping at all for the past week. He's a paladin, but he's new to the occupation. He'd never met a demon until he met Minamus. He stayed up every night since, expecting him to try and kill the new guy.
