MID-DAY NIGHTMARE..

***In Continent'Eclipse of the Oceans'..

***Inner(Outer) Outskirts..

***In the Guesthouse Giesha's Quarters..

***Eleanora's quarters..

...

 Navi who is currently sleeping on the bed with light blue blankets draped over to his shoulders suddenly has his facial muscles twitching in variety is emotions as his breath suddenly speeds off from anxiety.

 Cold sweat starts to accumulate on his forehead and the sides of his cheek with his hands subconsciously gripping onto the edges of his blankets tighter.

 "Who are you?.", Navi whispers in anxiety with his eyes still closed as his chest rises and falls faster and his breaths hinges.

 It is completely obvious that Navi is hallucinating while having a bad dream. An horrifying dream infact.

 Inside his mind plays extremely blurry scenes that transition from one setting to another without warnings.

He can hear over a dozen different voices that seem to come from everywhere and Navi is constantly turning his face to try to locate the source of the voices.

..

 Sometimes Navi feels like he knows the voices though as he tries to listen closer, the voices would fade and change into another familiar yet unfamiliar one while slowly eating away his sanity.

Senes replay in his mind one after the other while bring with them emotions he cannot understand or judge.

 A blurry scene of a mountain like area covered in snow, followed by..

 A blurry scene of the inside of a house completely coated by flames and blood, then..

 A scene of himself falling freely from the sky while looking towards a radiant yellow sun without panic..

 And then a blurry scene of him holding a weird equipment(Gun) while standing in the centre of a room filled with fresh blood and corpses..

*Pant!*..

*Pant!*..

In reality, eavh of Navi's breaths are harder than the last with each unfamiliar emotion hitting his mind deeper than the last.

 Nabi knows he is dreaming as he is seeing everything in this dream from a third person perspective though somehow, all of thus feels way too realistic and farmiliar.

This phenomenon terrifies Navi's seven years young mind as he struggles to find an exit out of this situation only to find himself helpless in terms of control.

The world is spiralling.

Navi is losing focus on everything. He can feel pain, anger, joy, hatred, ecstasy, fury, sadness, numbness and so much more for scenes he cannot even understand.

It is too much for Navi's mind to take. He want it all to stop!.

In the dream, his consciousness falls to the ground while wailing in pain as it holds its inexistent head.

 The dream is cruel with Navi's torture and indifferent to his will ad one muted blurry scene continuously feeds his mind while morphing to another with dozens of distant voices overlapping in the background. It seems to continue for eternity and then finally,..

 Navi hears a clear voice.

 Navi has no physical form on his hallucination but he can feel his body trembling as he listens to an explosive voice while the other voices seems to dim down.

 "St.. i- the ab... it – a-o.. at your.."

 "Stare.. a- da-n.. ss lo- a ##$%/ li.. at ..pit^&€ #@!..

 "Wh- wul*€ DARE L*$## % th.. ve*€₩ bl.. &€●₩#@ of cr:..?!!!..

 "Sufferings.. $#@ no^&%# £₩# sa/$ ... s$!*&..

 "Crea.. ^% kn)&$# ..

 "Lo% a ..$^#£&,..

 "#$^÷€&*?(/*& war..

 "So therefore, WHAT TRULY IS BALANCE?!."

Each word Navi cannot even hear clearly feels like a torrent of thunder into his soul.

Each sentence feels like a mountain falling into his mind!. Navi is in so much pain that he can only hold on.. not daring to make a peep as his body spams in terror.

 Navi's consciousness is trembling from fear at the intensity of the voice he hears. This voice spoke with such passion and power that Navi cannot hear anything but the last sentence which is asked in a mocking tone and a strong touch of madness!.

..

 Physically, Navi's closed eyes starts bleeding as a drop of thick crimson falls from behind his eyelids down his face and towards his ears.

 He is no longer breathing but his heart is still breathing at a fast and dangerous pace. Navi's fingers has turned deathly pale as they dig into his blankets with terrifying strenght that dangerously strains his muscles.

 He cannot think but he wants out of this dream!.

 Navi wants to scream but he cannot even move a muscle as his eyes remains closed and his body unresponsive.

*Creak!*

 Right on timing, the door creaks open as Head Geisha Alicia exhaustedly walks into Eleanora's quarters.

Head Giesha Alica has just barely closed the door behind her when her eyes catches the crimison blood running down Navi's eyes down to his ears as well as his insane death grip on the Blankets.

 "Navi!.", She yells with her eyes popping in worry as she immediately makes her way to his side.

 Head Geisha Alicia gently slaps him multiple times on both cheeks as she shouts his name in great concern.

 "Navi!, Navi!!!.. Navi!!!..", She calls out.

*GASP!*.

 With a big-out-of-the-waters gasp, Navi suddenly rises up from his bed before starting to breath in and out at a aggregated pace.

 His pupils trembles as he swallows hard due to fear with his throat deathly dry and his muscles painfully cramped.

Cold sweat pouring through Navi's pores has already wet his clothes, hair and sheets though Nabi seems to be out of focus of reality as he crazily looks left and right of the room with his body trembling from absolute terror.

 "You're OK,.. Thank all the goddess you're okay.", Head Geisha Alicia says as she shivers slightly in extreme worry while somehow still able to maintain a quota of her graceful bearing as she holds Navi's shoulders thightly.

 Dealing with the emotional burden with Eleanora just now then running into this right after has definitely taken more than a sip from the woman's very high mental reserves.

 Still holding the trembling child, Head Geisha Alicia feels his intense shivers hitting a sudden drop.

As a Rank-2 cultivator of the mage pathway, it only takes a thought to confirm that the boy has fallen unconscious.

Navi's physical state seems suddenly stable though his body has gone through much more than it is able to handle.

*Puufff¡*

 The older woman gives a confused yet relieved sigh as she lies the unconscious Navi back against his pillow.

 Head Geisha Alicia looks at the boy's lightly scrunched brows as well as observes his steady breaths as she tries to find an explanation as to what happened.

 Was the boy poisoned?!.

..

 Did a demon invade his mind?..

..

 Was there a clash between his bloodlines?.

..

 These thoughts run rampart in the mind of Head Geisha Alicia for a dozen seconds before she manages to lightly kick off her curiosity birthed from worry.

 Touching the elegant bronze thumb ring on her finger, Head Geisha Alicia whispers a name with her gaze still on the unconscious Navi who had dried blood drawing a trail from his eyes to his ears.

 'Inami.', The woman whispers as her thumb ring gives a faint glow powered by her mana.

 Not more than two dozen seconds later, a knock Is heard before a trusted subordinate of the Head Geisha -(Geisha Inami)- steps in while closing the wooden door behind her.

 "I want to ask for a favour.", Head Geisha Alicia says slowly while still sitting on the bed with her body blocking direct view towards Navi's blood stained face.

 Hearing the words coming out of the Head Geisha's mouth, Geisha Inami brows furrows a bit in confusion. The Head Geisha she knows and is very familiar with gives orders instead of asking for favours and so, whatever she has been called for must be of a very high level of importance.

 "I am at your service ma'am.", Giesha Inami says with the slight lowering of her head in order to show her submission and willingness to carry out the task even though she does not even know what it is yet.

 "I want you to looks after Navi for the next couple of days and I want you to keep a secret of everything that happens to him no matter how abnormal that may seem.", The Head Geisha says in an even voice as she stands up from the bed to face Geisha Inami.

 Inami bows her head once more in submission..

"If it pleases you ma'am.", Giesha Inami responds calmly without question.

 "Good. I think you would want to start by cleaning his face. Also, call me as soon as he gains consciousness.", Head Geisha Alicia say while quietly breathing another sigh of relief.
