Chapter 56: Neriti’s Trial

Stepping into a suspicious portal inside an unknown Dreamscape was the last thing Xander wanted to do. But he didn't have a choice this time.

By now, it had become pretty clear to him that the only way he was ever going to get out of this dream was by completing the trial which lay ahead.

Unbuttoning his cuffs, Xander rolled up his tee and stepped into the portal, ready to accept the challenge. It teleported him to a different part of the Dreamscape, one that felt peaceful and safe for a change.

Xander took a deep breath of the fresh afternoon air as he stood gazing out into a field of yellow canola flowers. The sky overhead was clear blue, and the mellow sun was radiating a gentle heat that warmed the skin ever so slightly without causing any discomfort.

A gentle breeze blew the scent of freshly cut blades of grass mingled with tulips, in Xander's direction. He looked up at the sky and breathed a heavy sigh.

"I wish you were here with me, sis."
