Jeff rolled uncomfortably on the bed but this time taking his face away from the walls to face the entrance. The spring on the poorly constructed bed had exceeded its elastic limit making his weight to sink inside. The bitter taste of the medicine had long turned sour and was still somewhere in his taste bud, but it had done a great job in calming his headache and painful muscles.

Lying down with his thoughts, it was difficult to keep track of time.

How long has it been since they came to the academy? How long since he left? What will happen to Ema and who the hell were those people who had kidnapped her?

Jeff closed his eyes and heaved a deep breath. He couldn't sleep again, how could he? Even if he wanted to his eyes would object, for fear of drifting into an unknown world.

The image of his mother and that vague shadow still haunted his vision. This was the first time such things had happened to him. The stories in the book had it that the people of Anadan while they sleep find themselves in a wonder world called the 'dream land'. To some, these stories were myth, while to others, those who had lived long enough, the stories they say are true. They believe that the dream world had been destroyed when darkness had plague mankind with suffering.

I don't even know what to believe anymore.

Jeff opened his eyes and sat up slowly when he had noise at the entrance of the stony door. A blond haired boy, about nine or ten of age walked into the room and stood some paces away from the stone door.

”They refused to let me come here” the boy said enthusiastically ”but I pleaded with dad and he allowed me. I wanted to see the one that would save the world. I wanted to see the hero my teachers talked about”

Jeff sat up properly not knowing what to make out of the boy. His oversized clothe had patches all over, making it difficult to discern the original fabric. His happy eyes glint with the white light, those budging bright eyes that held an angelic grace in them. It reminded Jeff of the first time Matt was given his H-Board.

”What's your name?” Jeff asked and smiled warmly.

”Alexander” the boy replied proudly.
