The next morning, the sun was rising.
Stark, unaware, woke up in the middle of a field. As he yawned and stretched, he pondered on his nightmare. As he could not remember it, he wondered what it was about. He commented that it felt surreal. He felt the grass prickling his skin.
Stark looked around. He questioned where he was and realized that it was not his bedroom. He debated if he had slept outside. He stood up and noticed his brothers sleeping nearby.
Stark also saw an apple tree that his mother helped him and his brothers plant when he barely learned how to walk. He reluctantly continued that the tree should be by their house.
Suddenly, Stark remembered a little of his nightmare, and he was bewildered. He got a slight headache, and he grasped his head. Stark questioned what it was. He mumbled that it did not feel like a nightmare. It felt real.
Stark wondered if the house had burned down, and if his parents were really dead. He searched for the house.
Meanwhile, Matteo, asleep, was having a weird dream. He saw their house being set on fire by two shadow figures. They had a cloak on with an interesting drawing of an eye on the back. One with short hair and the other one with long curly hair. They killed his parents.
Then, multiple images of events that he did not recognize flashed in his mind.
Matteo witnessed The Sacred Forest with more people and monsters than usual. He was transported into a large lake. He was drowning and being attacked by a strange creature.
There were a lot of them.
Matteo was in a panic and had difficulty breathing. As he flailed around, trying to swim, he heard a voice calling out his name.
A giant creature emerged from the deep water. Its large mouth with large teeth almost consumed him. Instantly, he was transported again.
Matteo saw the three brothers being protected by that creature. Confused, he could not comprehend what he was seeing. Everything seemed strange and unfamiliar.
As his eyes opened, a cloaked figure, with a staff, was behind him.
Matteo was shocked and scared. Next, he was in a giant forest.
Soon, Matteo was flying over a large city with people wearing weird disguises. The city was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times.
A baby's cry could be heard.
Matteo was confused and startled.
Just then, a giant mechanical bird with an eye symbol on it appeared.
As he looked at the bird, a pale human with large canines appeared. The human's teeth were exposed, and his red eyes were looking straight at him. His smile was horrifying.
After that, Matteo was in a dark void with tiny lights around him. A green aura surrounded his hands. He was not alone. There were others with him.
Matteo questioned who these people were.
One of them, a tall and muscular figure, was staring at him. It was a man with a strange headgear.
Matteo, frightened, questioned what was going on. He yelled, asking for the mysterious figures to leave him alone.
Suddenly, everything was quiet.
Matteo was in a pitch-black void. He questioned what was happening. As he looked around, he noticed The Exalted One approaching. He was shocked and confused.
The Exalted One repeated that Matteo must kill and destroy the world.
Matteo questioned what he was talking about.
The Exalted One smirked and proclaimed that they would become the supreme god, together.
Matteo wondered if he was still dreaming.
In the background, a familiar voice harshly alleged that things have changed with their brother's death.
Afterwards, he heard a menacing growl.
Suddenly, everything was consumed by black flames.
Matteo exclaimed. He could not move or do anything
All he could do was watch...
In the next moment, Matteo was jolted awake. He gasped for air and screamed. He was sweating, and his face was pale. He began to cry. Then, he sat up and noticed Stark.
Stark paced around the field while calling for their parents. He wondered where they were. The house was gone, too.
Matteo crawled towards Hafen. He was going to wake him up, but he already was.
Hafen laid on the floor staring towards the sky.
Matteo looked down on him and whimpered his name.
Hafen glanced at Matteo. As one of Matteo's tears fell on his forehead, he asked if he saw it, too.
Matteo asked him to clarify.
Hafen questioned if he had the same nightmare.
At the same time, Stark realized his brothers were awake. He walked towards them and called out to them. He waved but stopped when he saw Matteo crying. He suggested that they help him look for their parents. He muttered that he found a headband that resembled Adelia's.
Hafen sat up. He questioned if he did not see it.
Stark wondered what he meant.
Hafen elaborated that their house burned down. He continued that the two strangers killed their parents. He divulged that he and Matteo had a strange dream.
At that moment, Stark remembered the complete nightmare. He looked at his brothers in pure shock. He broke down and cried. He exclaimed that he could not believe that the nightmare was real.
Matteo nodded and cried, as well.
Stark fell on his knees and punched the ground. He gritted his teeth and cursed the world. He looked at the headband in his hand. He tightly clutched the headband and realized that it was the only thing left from his mom. He was devastated. His mother was dead. His father was dead.
The three brothers sat and mourned. Matteo was hugging his legs and crying. Hafen was staring at the ground.
Stark put the headband on and wiped his tears. He mustered that they must find the culprits. They could not forgive those strangers. He stood up and declared that they would get revenge.
Matteo was scared, and he wondered what he meant.
Hafen agreed. He remarked that it would be justice. He continued that he was certain that the dream was not just a dream.
Matteo questioned what he meant.
Hafen elaborated that it was more like a vision.
Matteo was intrigued.
Hafen explained that they were shown something that they shouldn't be able to see. He continued that they had to avenge their parents.
Stark asserted that they would have to go to the outside world to find the bad guys.
Matteo remarked that they also had to get stronger.
At the end, they concluded that they weren't ready, yet.
The three brothers looked towards the sky. It was a clear blue sky. The trees rustled, and the wind blew. Their home was no more, and their parents were dead.
Stark sighed and knew that they had to leave the forest to move forward. They had to go to the outside world. Their conversation had stopped as Pepe reached them from the trail.
The Fisher Family, once a happy family, was extinguished of their peace.
The three young brothers were orphans once again. They witnessed how fast things could change and how nothing was promised. They must cling to each other and their own strength.
This was the cruel and cold reality of the world. Now, the three brothers saw it, firsthand, and sought to face the future with their own hands.
