SARAH-THE DREAMCATCHER MAKER
Caleb carefully recited the chant until Sarah was satisfied. She handed him the dreamcatcher with a warm smile. "Sweet dreams to you, young one."
That night, Caleb carefully hung the dreamcatcher over his pillow and chanted the chant until his eyes went weary. He slept soundly through the night for the first time in months.
In the morning, Lily peeked in and saw her kid still sleeping soundly, a smile on his face. She crept back out, overjoyed, and set out to bake a pie for Sarah as thanks for her magic.

The Strayed Messenger
Clearing his throat, he motioned for Adaora to take a seat opposite him.
"Life is like a coin, with two sides: the bad and the good," he began.
"Both sides are important. The bad side makes us stronger, and the good side helps us appreciate the beauty of life even more." Adaora nodded in agreement.
"Everything has its opposite: joy-sorrow, life-death, war-peace, and many more. We can't control when they happen, but we can take precautions or even prevent them if we could see them through dreams," Adenke explained.

One day he had a call from his boss asking him to restrict and retain his movement to Lagos only. He was given an apartment by the company he works with and he already paid for an apartment. For the whole year, he showed up once in a blue moon.
I knew how busy he was, and I was also busy. By the time he was about to renew the rent we both came to see the apartment and realized almost everything in the kitchen had expired, some of the utensils were already rusted and others were covered in dust and cobwebs.

Sydney has never encountered a dreamfae before. She actually thought it was just an urban legend that guides came up with to spook each other.
She is silent for a moment.
"What is your name?" she asks the girl.
"Amy."
"Amy, why don't you let Mary and Frank go?"
"Because they are my parents! They made me, and now you want to take them away. I will not let you!"

Rody's Heart
Speaking of voice locations, where was i? Looking around. I realized that i entered the wrong train. My inside voice was back again, with the laugher of a roaring lion. Ellen the beautiful lady in lilac was leading me to an unknown destination. After a long train ride of 45mins, Ellen made the move to disembark from the train and just as you're about to guess, i followed. I just had to apologize to her for the stunt i pulled, that was if she was kind enough to listen. It turns out she was not only beautiful but kind as well. After walking her to her cab, what she did next surprised me.

The power of light
"Astrix, where are we?" Jack asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"We are in Luwick's castle. The sinister king who has covered our town in darkness and evil. It is him we face and his army of monsters to bring back the light that Luwick has stolen for more power, but you are the chosen one who will save us from this horrible tyrant."
"Hey, I'm no chosen one or anything, my name is Jack, and stop calling me chosen one. Got it." Jack stood up angrily and was pounding on the bars. "Let me out. I didn't do anything or even belong in this crazy world."
