Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The Fix 71

"A-argh... Where am I?" Elvina tried to get up and Rei rushed to help her.
"You're home" Rei told him.
"What happened to us?" This time William asked. Rei turned to look at him there.
"You fainted because you ran out of energy. Remember?"
"really?" Elvina looked at Rei.
"Yes. And you guys haven't been conscious long enough."
"That's it," Elvina responded.
"Yes. Oh, briefly. Let me get you some water, so you can feel better." Rei got up, but he had not yet stepped up, Vicenzo had already held him back.
"Let me just take you guys water," he said making Rei spontaneously stop and turn to him.
"A-ah, yeah. Thank you," said Rei.
"Not a problem." Vincenzo moved from his place. Step over to the kitchen to get some water for them.
"How are you guys doing? Do you feel better?" This time Dean asked the question.
"Yes. It seems that the energy we have is slowly recovering" Elvina said.
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it."
"Thank you for asking us about our situation."
"No problem. We're also worried about your condition."
"But we're fine. Just need to rest and gather energy, then we will be able to move as before. This is normal for us, let alone we are evolvers who are different from others. Things like this have happened a lot" explained William who made them turn to look at him.
"It happens often?" Beo Taz with a confused face.
"Yes. We're used to this kind of fight, so it's no wonder we're in this state of affairs."
"Oh, I see," Taz responded.
Soon, Vicenzo arrived with two glasses of drinking water he had placed on a tray he was carrying. He then thrust the tray at Rei.
"Drink to make you feel better" Rei said, giving each of them a glass of water, brought by Vicenzo.
Elvina and William gulped it down slowly until it was half a glass. Once she finished drinking, Elvina and William placed the glass on a small table near her bed.
"How are you feeling now? Has it improved?" Rei asked as he looked at his two cousins in turn.
"Yes, I feel better. And it seems that my energy has started to return slowly. I already have the power again now," said Elvina.
"me too. It seems I'm feeling better now" William chimed in.
"Good to hear. That means I can ask for your help," Rei muttered.
"Help?"
"We have to save Nero."
"Nero's? What happened to him?"
"Yes? Why her? Did he get caught by them?" Ask William.
"No. But this is worse. He's stuck in their trap."
"really? Where is he now?"
"He's in my room, he's unconscious for now."
"Then let me see it" Elvina got up from there.
"But can you walk?"
"I can. My energy has completely recovered. So calm down."
"We also want to see it" said Dean representing his three friends who had been just silent and listening.
"of course. Then, come with me," Rei got up from there. Walking the lead in front with Elvina, William, Dean as well as his three friends were walking tail behind him. They walked towards the direction where Rei's room was located, about to see the state of Nero who had not been conscious since they arrived earlier.
THE CZECH!
That door is open. And as soon as they entered, they could see Nero lying on Rei's soft bed. The man was unconscious and from the corner of his eyes, tears returned to Rei.
"What happened to him?" Asked Elvina who then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him fixedly.
"Rei said, Nero met a dream fog controller evolver," Dean said, making Elvina and William look at him.
"Dream fog controller?" His parrots.
"Yes." Yeah."
"What's that?" Wiliam frowned. He had only first heard that there was an evolver with such abilities.
"Dream fog is a fog that can make a person fall asleep and enter the dream of the owner of the fog. And in his dream world, the dream fog controller could do anything to his target. That's what Rei explained to us" Dean explained.
"What?" Elvina who heard it turned to Dean there with a surprised look. "you said if she could put someone to sleep and into the dream of the owner of the fog?" Elvina repeated to make sure that what she heard was true.
"Hm" Dean nodded his head.
"There's no way... This is her ability, right Rei?" Elvina turned to look at Rei there. Rei looked at him wistfully, the man looked nothing like before. For some reason since they arrived in his room, he just kept quiet and listened without giving an explanation. Dean could feel something different from him.
"That's the ability of him. Only, in his reincarnation. He is a man, but with more perfect abilities than before" Rei murmured.
"So, he is indeed the reincarnation of Eoduksini?" Elvina muttered there. Hearing Rei's justification, made him remember events in the past that until now he still can not forget. The events that almost made him lose Rei and Lucy.
"Eoduksini?" Marko, who had been silent since then, seemed to be interested in the topic they were discussing. "What's that?" He again represented his three best friends, staring at Rei, Elvina, and William there.
"Eoduksini is the spirit of darkness. He feeds on the darkness and fear that exist in humans. And trap people in their fear. Eoduksini attacked his enemy through another realm, and in a different way. He attacked almost as much as Succubus and Incubus. It's just the difference that Eoduksini attacks through the weak point of human fear, unlike the Succubus or Incubus that attacks through dreams, and human desires. Eoduksini feeds on human fear and traps him in the world he has created. No one could help him, nor free the man who had fallen into his trap. Unless the trapped person realizes that what he sees is only an illusion and tries to fight it, he will be free. But it is very difficult to make the trapped person aware. Especially from outside." William explained. Looking towards the four who were still staring at him.
"We just heard about this. And we don't understand any of this."
