Omega Summoner

Chapter 1730: Land of Dreams III

”Yumeko is very weak and cannot even go outside her own home!” Yumeko stated as she cried.

Yumeko then proceeded to tell Adrian and the God of Dreams Morpheus about her condition. She can only walk in the confines of her own home because she is usually incredibly weak. She could actually faint any instant that her body suddenly loses out on energy.

Yumeko told Adrian and the God of Dreams Morpheus that she was not like this when she was younger. She said that she remembers that she could play and even run outside without any problems. Now, all she could do is view the children of the other houses play happily while she is trapped inside her home.

”Do you remember why you suddenly got a weak body?” Adrian asked as he seemed to know that something must have happened to her.

”I do not remember.” Yumeko stated.

”Perhaps she was so traumatized by the experience that she forgot about what really happened. I can reveal that memory if it is buried deep into her mind or even if she managed to forget it. The only thing that I need is to have her consent about it as we are basically prying into a childʼs mind.” The God of Dreams Morpheus.

”Can we see that memory, Yumeko? The cool uncle might be able to find a way to fix you up so that you could run again in the outside.” Adrian asked with a gentler tone.

”Will it be scary?” Yumeko asked.

”It might be for you, but you can just close your eyes and the both of us will look into that for you.” Adrian replied.

”Yumeko wants to be strong which is why I must become strong myself. I will watch it!” Yumeko stated as the God of Dreams Morpheus sprinkled her with some sand.

The sand that was sprinkled on Yumeko came from the pouch that is tied on the God of Dreams Morpheusʼ waist. He then manipulated this sand and extracted a cloud like substance from Yumekoʼs mind. The God of Dreams Morpheus then proceeded to create a projection using magic.

The sand cloud suddenly became a square screen where the deepest and darkest memory that Yumeko has sealed could be seen. The God of Dreams Morpheus could see a lot of unhappy memories in her mind that she has sealed such as the scene of her sitting by the window while the laughter of the other kids echoed in the area.

The God of Dreams Morpheus was filtering through the memories until he found something shrouded in a strange energy that felt very familiar to him.

”It must be this memory. Are you ready?” The God of Dreams Morpheus asked.

”What do you mean ready? We are just going to view the memories through the projection, right?” Adrian asked as he has been viewing the memories through the projection.

”This was just the selection process for the memory. The real viewing will start now.” The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he made the sand affect their eyes.

Adrian, Yumeko and the God of Dreams Morpheus suddenly saw themselves in a place where Yumeko described as her house. Yumeko could be seen playing happily as she was full of energy while a bluish-purple flame is burning at the very end of a long hallway. The other adults that are taking care of her looked happy that Yumeko was happily playing until the sound of clashing swords are heard.

”Rebels!” One of the guards of Yumekoʼs family shouted.

The adults that were taking care of Yumeko suddenly told her to hind behind the alter where the bluish-purple flame burned. Yumeko did as she was told and made sure to not emit a sound because her father was not present in the household. Her father went to the capital city in order to report something to the emperor.

It did not take long for Yumekoʼs attendants to scream as the rebels managed to enter the shrine hall. Yumekoʼs attendant was about to be killed by the rebel when she suddenly screamed and tossed the small stone that she picked up that was placed on the shrine. Yumeko managed to divert the attention of the rebel and saved her attendant, but the eyes of malice are now directed at her.

”The kid is here!” The rebel shouted in order to get the attention of the other person.

”Shirohe! Where are you?!” Yumeko called out to the house god of their home, but she was also busy fighting against an evil spirit that had the same power as her.

The attack on Yumekoʼs home was not something that was accidental. The rebels or rather those masquerading as rebels were waiting to strike when Yumekoʼs father was not in the home. About half of the small militia that they have were also away as they were also sent to the capital.

”Young lady! Run away! I shall buy you time. You must escape to the mistress!” The attendant stated as she took out a small knife from her sleeves and charged towards the rebels.

”Nanny!” Yumeko cried out as her attendant fell on the floor due to her getting pierced in the abdomen by a sword.

”We shall now proceed to capture the target! Surround her so that she will not get away.” The rebel stated as the other started to flood the shrine hall.

”Guardian spirit, please help me!” Yumeko cried out to the bluish-purple flame as this was revered by their house since it was a magical flame that guided Yumekoʼs father when he was lost in the Alphine Woods.

Yumeko cried out but the flame did not answer because it does not have the capability to do so. Exorcists from the eastern continent told them that this flame was a guardian spirit that lost its memory which is why it needs to be venerated in order to ascend. Since it helped their family, they did so but it was now too long since it really did something.
