About twenty minutes Jack lays down beside the victim, sleepiness had robbed his entire awareness. Seduction of the wind to release his consciousness come without Jack able to resist. And not a minute later, Jack was asleep and snoring.
His life signs, such as consciousness, pulses, and respiratory frequencies change. Then Jack quickly entered the REM phase, wherein his sleep, eye movements became fast, muscles relaxed, and EEG waves were fast and low voltage. Soon, Jack joined the dream phase.
Dreams are subconscious experiences that involve vision, hearing, thoughts, feelings, or other senses in sleep, especially during sleep accompanied by rapid eye movement (REM eye sleep). Events in dreams are usually impossible in the real world, and beyond the power of dreamers.
There is a type of dream called Lucid-dream which is a dream when someone is aware that he is dreaming. When he dreams but still conscious, the dreamer will be able to participate actively and change the experience of imagination in the world of dreams.
A conscious dream can be seen as real and clear. Many discoveries on Earth are very inspired by dream results, for example, Nicholas Tesla who finally understood how "alternating current generator" works because of his dream.
The dream also inspired James Watson with the understanding of the double helix from DNA. Or Dimitri Mendeleyev with a periodic table that is still in use today.
Jack might be half aware that he was dreaming or was in a dream with full awareness. And this is the story of his lucid dream.
In front of him was a misty white plain. Everything is white, both floor and sky. There are hordes of colourful orbs intersperse with the mist.
They seem to occasionally appear in the form of crowds of grapes with colourful sparkles that are never the same. A moment appeared and then disappeared accompanied by cheerful laughter. Then it looks again elsewhere and then fades again quickly.
Jack becomes curious. He decided to move on. Keep on stepping on the thin white mist that seems infinite.
Until Jack arrived in front of a white marble fortress, the gate is white and enormous. The high tower rose to the sky, through the white clouds.
Strangely, Jack feels like he didn't want to stop. He steps forward and stepped forward — step by step. He keeps walking while satisfying his gaze. Everything is pleasant to his eyes.
Jack doesn't remember when he forgets that the gate isn't visible to him anymore. No more blocking. And now Jack was standing on the highest peak of a mountain covered in the white mist.
"Welcome young man. I've been waiting for you ..." A well-built old man sits cross-legged in a full-lotus position greeting him kindly.
His eyes closed as if he is still swept away in his meditation. He wore a loose white robe — a long white beard and dangling neatly to his feet. His hair is also long white. His voice is calm and authoritative.
Jack nodded calmly. Then with a polite way, he sits in front of the old man. Inwardly he wonders who and where it is.
"I know you will be here." The old man smiles while opening his eyes. His retina is golden brown. His eyes shaded but give charisma.
"Maybe you don't know me yet. I am the grandfather of the person you are helping. My name is Ferlon Titan. I want to thank you, that you are willing to save his life ..." The old Ferlon lowered himself in a sitting position.
Jack wanted to prevent it while saying he doesn't need to be reluctant, but his body seems to be frozen. Not even any of his muscle is move.
Ferlon exhaled heavily. "My grandson was very stubborn and too proud of himself. I never thought he was able to make a magic portal between dimensions. But the risk was too great. He almost unable to make come back." Ferlon paused for a moment.
"He is the only successor to the Titan family. Our family from generation to generation is the guardian of mystical heritage on Mount Luwa and the ruler of Magetan City.
But it seems he is more interested in pursuing his dream of space and time magic. My grandson, well he does look like a middle-aged man, but for a mage, that age is still a dozen years old. Life expectancy for a mage can penetrate 400 years.
Not to mention the mental age." Ferlon smile.
Jack listens carefully. His body seems to be hypnotized ignoring the commands of his brain to move. While his awareness repeatedly reminds this is a dream and also a reality, at the same time.
Ferlon smiles softly. "As far as Vadjya's land stretches, almost hundreds of years the Titan family has always been famous as a feared healer and combat mage. We even made a special style of mage, mage Titan style. Which is composed of combat and healing techniques." There is pride implied by the Ferlon's words. Jack can feel it.
"It seems like it's destined for our sect and family. Nobody can resist their fate ..." Ferlon smiled.
"I hope there is something I can do to help you, grandfather." Somehow, Jack's body suddenly give a response.
"As an elder for the Titan family, I don't want just to thank you." Ferlon smile. Then his hands stick out, give something into Jack, "This is just a small gift from me. Hopefully, you will accept it."
Two orbs glittering with silver light emerged from the middle of Ferlon's forehead. Then quickly entered Jack's body. One sphere comes through a point between two eyebrows, while the other disappears right above Jack's crown chakra.
Jack only feels a slight warm sensation.
"It's nice to meet you, young man. It seems like my time is up. Without knowing the language or magic abilities, I think it will be difficult for you to survive. Hopefully, with the gift from me, you can survive in this harsh Vadjya. Please be friends with my grandson.
And one more thing, a warning from me, that Vadjya will enter the years of darkness. There will be many disputes and bloody conflict in the years to come.
Misused religion, misleading politics, bloody conflict, betrayals, defamation, scandal, assassinations, civil war, and even slavery will tear Vadjya apart for several hundred years.
Devilish-hearted-human beings disguise in attractive appearance will be roaming the Vadjya land, both native and not Vadjya people.
Every person has his own duty, the task in his life, the purpose of his life. I think those that will happen are related to your duty, the reason you're born here. You should finish this lesson, son" Ferlon's voice fades until unheard anymore.
Slow but surely, the scene in Jack's dream faded to disappear in the dark.
"Thank you grandfather Ferlon ..." Jack whispered.
Slowly but surely, Jack climbed up to the peak of his consciousness.
Meanwhile, the work handled by nanomachines has completed its jobs. In Jack's viewpoint, several notification messages appear.
[system@localhost]# terminating recovery process sequence
[system@localhost]# recovery process completed successfully. error : 0% warning 0 alert 0. cpu consumed 80%
His patient, the grandson of Ferlon Titan, an old man he just meets in his lucid-dream, is recovered completely.
And this is the beginning of their adventure. A journey that nurtures their friendship. And also the birth of collaboration in science-magic-technology the lead to a rise new civilization.
