EXCERPT FROM VIZ'S JOURNAL: September 11The sky was unpleasant looking. It was daytime and yet the whole sky was pure darkness. No clouds, just black. A darkened sun could be seen out of the corner of my eye. It looked like someone had covered it in thick tar. My eyes shifted from the black spot in the sky to the deep puddle of blood in front of me. "Mom! Dad!" I called in an eager voice. But all had faded away. It was as if I was in a whole other world. I dropped to the ground frustrated and confused. I saw the blackness below me. It was eating me up little by little. I could never escape it. When it covered my whole body, I screamed. My scream turned into a deep howl as I felt my body deform from skin to a metal plated substance. When the transformation had completed, I looked down at my hands. Long metal claws replaced my thin human fingers. I moved them and felt more freedom than I had had with fingers. This time when I pulled up my head and looked around, I saw all sorts of creatures. They looked like me, except they were all in forms of different animals. They all had an eager and kind of sad face. "Hey watch where you're going!" a large wolf-looking creature covered in black yelled. I had bumped into him in my daze. "Where am I?" I asked him. The dark wolf just laughed. "I'm guessing you're a newcomer right? This is the Dreamer's Hell. Right now we're in the center of Gargoyle Town." He said as I stared blankly. "You don't know our purpose either..." The wolf let out a sigh. "Well, first you need to choose a victim. Once you pick them it's your job to go into their nightmares. That's why humans call us Nightmares. But our job is called Dream Reaping. You will be identified as a Dream Reaper. We attack a vicim's dream and turn it into a nightmare." He pointed to a small building on a mountain. "That's where the newbies go." I realized he was pointing at a small graveyard on a hill. Below it a puddle of murky green water bubbled. "Fin will teach you the basics. Plus he has a huge view of the human world. That's where you'll pick your victim." I started walking up the large hill. Wherever I was, I knew I wouldn't be going back any time soon. Most likely, never.September 11 [later in the day]When I reached the top of the hill, I studied the small tombstones. One said, "Kelly, dead in reality, but still alive in her nightmares". I kind of felt bad for the girl. However, since I was now a Dream Reaper, my instincts told me that she deserved it. I sighed and walked towards the large green puddle. "Welcome young Nightmare. What might you need?" Said a green face popping up from the sludge. I noticed a small crown on his head. It had been disguised at first because it was covered in layers of seaweed. They dropped to the water with loud plops. "Uhh, um, well I was told to go here..to pick a victim??" I knew that he could tell I was anxious. "Young Nightmare, what is your name?" he asked with a grin. "Vincent." The serpent looked angry now. "Still living in your little human world, huh? Well your name will now be Viz from now on. This name is Nightmare for Vision." I felt like he could see right through me. Into my tiny little soul. Even though I looked like a mighty beast, inside I was a big wuss. "Anyways, I am Prince Finaiglin, son of King Yerell. However, you may call me Prince Fin. All my life I have been guiding newcomers into their new life as Nightmares." He said. He sounded very serious about all this, even though I was still hoping this was all just a dream. "We Nightmares speak a language called Cuul. We have a teacher in the Realm of Ogres who would be happy to help you learn the language, but I'm afraid the road is closed due to the growing population of very unhappy Ogres." Good thing they closed that road. I would definitely not want to upset some big ugly monster. "As you can see, all of the fellow Nightmares here are based on animals. It is a trait all of us have. For example, I am based on a water serpent and you have the traits of a large bug. When your DNA was changed during the Calling, you acquired some traits of an animal that was the closest to you while the Calling was happening." "Excuse me, but what's 'The Calling'?" I asked him as politely as I could. He was a prince after all. "All Nightmares had to experience the Calling before they became what they are now. When you are killed by a Dream Reaper, the god Mesus is called to turn you into a Nightmare and send you here, to Dreamer's Hell (which is somewhere in between the middle of Heaven and Hell and Hell itself). That means a fellow Dream Reaper must have had you as their victim and killed you off. Once a Dream Reaper has killed their victim, they become what we call 'Fossils'. They aren't the type of fossil you know back in your human world though. Fossils act as pets for their new Nightmare. They use DNA from the animal that the previous Dream Reaper had in them as well as DNA from their new owner. Since they had already gone through killing a victim already, Fossils act like guardians to protect their owner. When their owner turns into a Fossil, that owner's Fossil turns into a soul and makes it's way back to it's own body back in the human world. Then it can finish its life. They can never be killed by a Dream Reaper ever again (unless they summon Mesus because they want to be one). Nightmares can choose whether they want to be Dream Reapers or not. It is always recommended to become one though because if you decide not to, you will be trapped in Dreamer's Hell for eternity. As the man you talked to might have said, Dream Reapers attack their victims through their dreams. When the victim is asleep a Dream Reaper's Fossil signals that it's time to attack. Special places in Dreamer's Hell are meant for entering a victim's dream. Once in the dream, you and your Fossil work together to find something called the Heart. When you get to it you must kill it and turn the dream into a nightmare. However, on your way to the heart you have to defeat and/or get by any obstacles that pertain to your victim's dream. The number of times you must attack a victim's dream until they are killed all depends on their human age. The last time is always a challenge for fellow Dream Reapers. If you are killed in the victim's dream before you kill the Heart, you are brought back to Dreamer's Hell without credit. Viz, there are still many secrets not even my father nor I know. We summon these Nightmares and raise them as Dream Reapers so we can understand and discover these secrets. More things will also become clearer in your future as a Dream Reaper. I have a lot of faith in you boy." For I second I wonder if he says this to all the newcomers. "Now it is time to pick your victim. You must stand in front of each of these tombstones until one of the stones' letters light up. When you have found the right one, you and your Fossil will touch the tombstone together and you will be connected to the human. Good luck. And remember, we are all counting on you to become the next and greatest Dream Reaper there ever was". With that last statement he sunk deep below the water. A single bubble popped up at the top. "Dude, could you try not to knock into me?" A voice came down from below. I looked down to see a small creature smiling up at me. It was all white with metal plates like mine. It looked like the mixture of a spider and a snowy owl. It flew up at me still holding that silly grin on its face. "I guess you're my owner then. It's a pleasure to meet you Viz. I'm Nex." It took me a few minutes to realize that this was my Fossil that the serpent had been talking about. I looked at him curiously and then began talking, "Well Nex, you seem like a nice guy to me." I tried to smile as big as I could. Nex gave his best spider bird shrug. I started walking towards the tombstones. I was still getting used to picking up these big, heavy, metal claws. After about an hour of walking in front of tombstones, I found the match. The letters glowed as the Prince had said they would. It read "Amy. Love doesn't hurt, it kills." I had heard the saying before. I wondered what those little sayings after their names meant. As instructed, me and Nex touched the cold stone. His feathery claw touched it first. Then my metal razors touched it second. Almost instantly, the whole tombstone began to glow. It sunk beneath the dirt afterwards. In large capital letters the dirt space read "VIZ". In small letters underneath "NEX" was written. Then a minute later, grass began to grown over it and the names were covered up. I felt a sting on my metal arm. I looked at it and found a familiar message written in white letters. It read, "Love doesn't hurt, it kills". I tried to scratch it away, but it just stayed. "Well V, can we go to the food court now? I'm in need of some major grub. Plus some social interaction would be nice for the both of us. Come on." Nex started to fly off and I followed behind ihm. God that bird was fast. I took one more look at the saying on my arm and then ran faster to catch up with the "jet-fueled" spider owl.September 11 [even later in the day]When we stepped into the room, we saw thousands of Nightmares and Fossils. Luckily, the large building had enough room for this many. I couldn't imagine having to be smushed into a small space. Nex ran right up to the counter to order food and I followed behind him. "Let me handle this Nex. You're obviously not tall enough to reach the counter." I said to my new Fossil. He frowned, flew up into the air, and landed on my shoulder plate. "Um, excuse me. Could I have a double cheese burger, some french fries, and a Diet Coke?" I asked the creature at the counter. He had a long pointed beak and tiny wings on his back. His arms were huge and could probably beat the crap out of me. He looked at me strangely and then both him and my Fossil began to laugh. I stood there confused until the counter-man finally spoke up. "Bro, this isn't McDonalds. Could I suggest a Grilled Dark Matter Sandwich and a Keep Kabab? We're out of stock of everything else. We're not a five star restaurant. Plus all our workers are slow. If you want anything else you'll have to come back tomorrow when we've restocked. Oh, and you can have a cup of water too." He says handing me the food. It seems the only normal thing on my plate is that cup of water. I pick it up and bring it to a table. There is one other Nightmare there. She looks almost like a bear, but with a more wolf-like snout. Her feet are colossal compared to her tiny hands. Her Fossil is sitting next to her. It's some kind of dragonfly. "Hey there!" I say to her as I sit down. Nex is inhaling the food. "Oh, hi. I'm Ellie." Her voice seems tiny. "I'm Viz. I'm new around here, how about you?" I ask in the most polite way I can. Nex could tell I had no experience in talking to the opposite sex and I could hear him giggling silently. "I'm a newbie too. It's really hard to fit in you know?" I nodded. "Hey Ellie, we should talk some time. Also, a quick question, do you know where we're supposed to sleep?" She shakes her head and says, "No Viz. But I think there's a dormatory. We sleep during the day.""But it's dark outside! I'm tired! They can't really make us wait till it turns light out, can they?"She sighs."It's always night here Viz. But in the human world, it's nighttime and soon to be the day. Since your victim sleeps and dreams during the night, you must be awake at that time."I look at her with embarrassment written all over my face. I'm so stupid."I may be new, but I'm not stupid Viz. My father is the king of the Fire Realm. It's another world in Dreamer's Hell."I almost faint. I'm friends with a princess. "But then why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Fire Realm?" I ask her. I was in the presence of a princess. OMG."There are a lot of things happening there right now. My father was kidnapped by an Ogre and taken away. The Fire Realm is being run by Moroc a huge Ogre who has waited his whole life to get his hands on the king's position. In his dying breath, the Jester from our palace told me to go to the Nightmare Realm (which is here) so I could stay safe from the Ogres."She laughed because her story was making me jawdrop."Well Ellie, I'll talk to you later then. I need to go find the Dorms. It was really nice meeting you and I hope your father comes back unharmed.""Yeah. I hope so too.."I walk out with a doggy bag of leftover food. "You did it man." Nex says to me."Did what?" I ask."She totally likes you."I push him playfully on the shoulder. We have fun playing around until we reach a large blue building. "MENS DORMS" is plastered on the top. Me and Nex walk in and head up to the counter to get a room. "Could I get a room please?" I ask the woman at the desk. She picks up a key and hands it to me. "Go to the right then up the stairs. Once you get to the top turn to the left and if you keep walking you'll find your room.""Thanks ma'am." I say and then start walking towards the right. After walking up flights of stairs, both me and Nex are exhausted. We walk to the left down the hallway and reach our room. Room 254. When I open the door everything is spotless inside. The bed looks mighty comfortable, the floor is sparkling, and the windows are clean like a baby's butt. Me and Nex give eachother a high five and jump onto the bed. When we are all settled in, we put on our sleeping gear and hit the hay. Nex taught me that one. He said they don't call them pajamas in Dreamer's Hell. He says he's not lalowed to help me except for guarding me during Dream Reaping and telling me little things like the sleeping gear thing. Part of the whole secrets thing I guess. I looked at the saying on my arm once more before laying down. Well Amy, I guess I'll meet you tomorrow in your dreams. Nex's snoring keeps me up all night. Guess being a Nightmare doesn't keep you away from your snoring allies.September 12I woke up with a huge yawn. I sat up quickly when I smelled a delicious scent coming from underneath the door. As a Nightmare, I must have a great sense of smell. I followed the scent sleepily as I walked out of my dorm in my pajamas and headed to the cafeteria within the dormitory. This was for breakfast and dinner. Lunch was served in the school-like cafeteria down the road. It was stupid, but I guess I couldn't really argue. Luckily, I found everyone was still in their PJ's. I found Nex sitting at a table surrounded by girls. I rolled my eyes and sat in the seat that wasn't taken. Right next to Nex. "Nex, what are you doing?" I asked him curiously. The girls looked at me with those creepy smiles. Don't tell me he taught them his murderous owl spider grin. "Oh hey Viz. I was just hagning out with some girls. Girls, this is Viz. Viz, this is Jamie and Kendra." They gave me a little wave and I raised my eyebrows a little. "Can I ask if we can just please eat alone?" I asked one of the girls. Her smile faded away and she snorted as she dragged her friend away with her. I moved over and Nex gave a big huff. "Come on Viz. I was having some fun.""I'm sure you were Nex. You just love flirting." He stuck out his tongue at my response and then we laughed for a bit. When the waiter finally came to take our orders, we were already woken up fully. It took 10 minutes for them to prepare our food. We gobbled it down in less than 5 minutes and started heading out the odor. "So Viz, are you ready for your first Reaping? It'll be in the morning." Nex said as we headed towards the arcade. I remembered what Ellie said about how we sleep during the day and are awake during the night. That would make it night right now. That means it's day in the human world. I gave out a big yawn for no reason. "Sure I am. I want to meet this Amy girl." Nex gave me the eyebrows and I shoved him playingly. We reached the arcade right as the night time rush was happening. It was crowded, but we entered anyway. We started earning coins like crazy. That is, until this big bully came over to us. "Hey bro. Spare some coins?" I shook my head and started to turn away. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my neck. "Give me the coins you little shrimp. I'll punch your face in." I dropped the coins on the ground, he let me go, and I started running out the door. Nex still had some coins, but we were afraid to go back there. I kept them in my pocket just in case. "Hey Vincent! Bro!" I heard my name being called. I turned around and saw a fox looking creature. I instantly knew who it was, just as he had recognized who I was. "John?! Is that you?" I started running towards him. All of a sudden my vision went black and I smashed onto the ground. I heard laughing before I fainted.September 12 [a little later]The laughing continued as my vision became clearer. "Wow dude. You are really clumsy." the familiar voice said. The fox was sitting next to me laughing with my Fossil. "Whaaa..?" I tried to ask. "Viz, you tripped over a rock." He picked up the little pebble. I felt just a little bit foolish. It wasn't till my vision had finally cleared that I saw he wasn't normal. One of his paws was lal bone. No skin covered it. His face was skinned as well and you could see one of the sockets of his eyes. "Are you..a zombie John?" I asked him. "Yeah. Something like that. But bro, my name is Namek now." He smiled a little like he was proud of his new name. I wanted to ask him everything. How he got here, whose victim he was, EVERYTHING. But something inside me was telling me I shouldn't. Before I could say a word, his voice spoke up again. "Hey Vincent..I mean Viz. I really have to go. There are some things I should probably take care of." We said our goodbyes and he padded off. Another fast creature. I relaly had to start getting used to this big feet. UNDER CONSTRUCTION
