Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
22. Morpheus

Again I woke up in a dark room, the cold that pierced my skin along with this strange disturbing feeling really felt so real.

Slowly but surely the darkness that devoured me then turned into a scene of a black castle building with dark alleys that were everywhere.

I continued to step, whether in the hallway where I went in the end I continued to end up in the same place, a stone hall in the middle of which was a coffin. My feet continued to step through the passageway after passage and returned to the same place.

And just as the seventh round of the closed coffin was then opened, the, on the tenth round a white chair was located beside him and when I returned there for the twelfth time a young man with a blurry face in my eyes seemed to be bent looking at his own hands.

Her skin was pale, her hair was white with clothes that looked like red robes and a pair of black wings on her back. I could not stop my steps slowly approaching him, as if I wanted to get to him immediately. Rather than fear, what I felt when I saw it was guilt and longing.

"About this is what I've been doing." he seemed to look at me and then continued his sentence "how many turns have we passed, how many years have passed, how many years have passed, and what the hell's been going on. Do you remember everything, Novan?" I could only silence, all the words that the young man said I could not digest.

"It's not your fault for failing, nor is it your fault to keep going back to the beginning" my clear vision slowly became blurry and without me knowing my tears had fallen.

Sadness, disappointment, anger and even resentment felt so strong that they appeared inside me. I don't understand what has happened let alone remember what made me like this.

"It felt like a long time ago but at the same time it felt like I just saw you die again" he touched my shoulder and somehow I remembered who he was.

"Morpheus?"

But when I wanted to ask him that the dream had ended just like that, in a state of pain all over my body I woke up in a room of lodging that was so simple. The warm glow of the sun radiated brightly from the open window along with the fresh wind blowing blowing green curtains on both sides of the window.

How long have I been asleep, what happened yesterday when I completely lost control of myself. I can't answer that question. With great difficulty I changed my position, standing up from the bed it was so difficult even just to stand still it felt like my body would collapse.

Step by step slowly I did carefully just to get closer to the window. My eyes suddenly widened for a moment to see a scene far different from the city of Abyudara that I had seen. Classic European-style grand buildings stood everywhere, chariots walking on cobblestone streets along with a sea of humans dressed in Victorian-era clothes.

"Have I reached the west?" Mumamku.

Below there are many traders who show off their merchandise, not to forget music and small shows are also in every. Although not as advanced as Abyudara the city looks so free. When a white dove landed right beside my window a letter tied to his foot caught my attention.

I took the letter, opened it and read word for word written there. The person who sent this letter turned out to be Samuel, it was unclear how he knew my location but he certainly said that something was wrong in the Akasa family. The news of Arin seems to be fine but they must remain cautious on the two Akasa twins who seem to have the potential to be Antagonists in this round.

Samuel also insists on being careful in this region, though small I can still see the map he drew behind this letter. "Thank you, come back and tell me I got the letter" and then the pigeon flew up into the sky.

The knock of the door, which sounded for a moment, was punctuated by the sound of a young man coming from behind me, the wooden door opened and a young man who looked so much like me brought breakfast appeared, behind him a blue-haired little boy seemed to follow him.

"Fobe.. Rian?"

For a moment my head ached and mysteriously the bloodied face of the boy appeared in my memories, not once but dozens of times it felt like I saw his bloodied face.

"So how are you?" A yellow-haired young man with a handsome face seemed to ask the three young men who were before him. Both Rian and Novan, both silent, forced Fobetor inevitably to speak in response to the question of the young man named Perseus.

"Thank you we're fine now. Thank you very much"

In a dining hall that looked so crowded the four young men sat together at a table. Some of the food appeared to be served in front of them like soup and bread complete with a glass of water.

𝑊𝑎ℎ 𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑖𝑘𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑎ℎ𝑙𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑒𝑘𝑎𝑙𝑖..

The inner three youths seemed to be thinking the same thing, the person before them was really very suitable for a hero. From his attitude, to his words even his appearance everyone will definitely believe that he is a real hero.

'And he is indeed a hero in the legends of Greek mythology....' Novan looked closely at the young man 'Perseus, the half-god hero, one of Zeus' children with humans and the only person capable of killing Medusa with the help of magical items belonging to several gods' Novan clearly remembered the story of the young man.

Realizing that he noticed Perseus then smiled "do you need anything?" And quickly Novan refused.

"No, it's just that your shield is unique." Novan's brown eyes appear to be fixed on the shield behind Perseus' back, a shield that is very shiny like glass, one of the objects given by the goddess Athena to Perseus.

"Oh this, someone I consider my cousin's sister gave it to me"

'No wonder she called Athena that way.. In the story is not explained how Perseus got his stuff, besides Athena is the Son of Zeus as well, so they must have a family relationship.Inner Novan nodded as if understanding the explanation of Perseus.

"Anu. although I don't know how it happened but thank you for saving me as well" said Rian with a bow.

"Eh don't thank me, it's the brother next to you who saved you from the belly of a big snake yesterday" Perseus replied as he pointed to a surprised-looking Novan.

"D-he?" Rian seemed unable to believe that fact, but the debt was a debt and he had to show his manners to the person who had saved his life "even though I wasn't sure but.. Thanks"

'Honestly son if I could I didn't want to save you.' Inner Novan then pretended to smile kindly and replied "it's okay" while Fobetor could only be silent watching them.

"Then can I ask what you are doing in this dangerous area?" Ask Perseus.

"You alone?" But Nova asked back.

"I was commissioned by the gods to guard this territory from the Gorgons" Perseus answered truthfully.

'Keeps yes.. Not to kill Medusa? There seems to be something strange here.' Inner Novan and Fobetor.

"If we're actually here for a vacation, wouldn't we be Fobe?" Nova lied.

"A pity it seems that the mood of the sea god is not good, I think it will be difficult to enjoy the view of the sea in this area"

"That's it, haha it's a pity when we really want to go there soon.."

'And seeing what battle Poseidon was preparing for, ' Novan continued inwardly with a feeling of disappointment.

"By the way how is your body? when you fight with the snakes you look so accustomed, but there is something strange.Your body looks unusual fighting" said Perseus who had known that there were several muscle cramps and damaged nerves.

"Haha maybe because it has not moved my muscles so stiff.."

'Haha honestly I don't know either.' Novaan continued inwardly.

"so now what are you going to do?"

"It looks like we'll stay put for a few days because our coachman seems to have run away from us" Fobetor said with an annoyed face as he recalled Loki's face.

"Then I suggest not to approach a place that looks like a temple, because that is where the headquarters of the Gorgons are located "

"All right, but before that can you show us where the mirrors are sold?"
