The journey was tough, and long. His muscles, which were held together almost like tissue paper, could barely stand the trek. He needed to be quick, as he could feel the gate to the 7th realm opening. Unfortunately, the years spent inside the bell tower had taken it's toll - Danny did what he could but as he came to a cliff well above Dream Master Lake, a plummeting feeling of terror rushed over him as his worst nightmare was coming true - Character #3 could be seen far away coming through the gate.

Danny collapsed, his meager arms and legs could do no more. His purpose was shattered; his meaning, lost.

While the rest of the beasts and their spawn flooded through the gates, Danny lay motionless on the cliff - his exhausted, frail figure too tired to move, he slept.

Danny had no intention of waking up from this slumber, however a soft mist poured over him and he began to dream. He saw his childhood, and his parents. He remembered the day that they locked him in that tower and gave him his instructions. He was always the weaker wizard - a disappointment in terms of magical power to his legendary family - he had no rune, and very little magical ability. He made better friends with ducks than wizards, and this dream began to give him a different perspective. Perhaps his parents were wrong - perhaps the "destiny" he was sold was a farce. He had a vision of their plea to him - they told him the gate could not be opened without his key. Rage began to fill in his heart. He stood up from the spot he had collapsed, and saw a reddish hood with two eyes underneath deep in the woods.

The hood slowly faded into a new vision - a vision of fire. Of change. He remembered fire from his childhood - it could turn wood to ash, it could soften metals to repurpose them into something more powerful. He turned, not of his own volition, and saw the Infinity Veil. It was not much farther than the Blue Wizard Bastion.

Danny felt an immense sense of power - he finally had a small semblance of control over his future. Where he would end up and who he would become he had no idea, but this was the first decision he had made of his own volition. He was ready to end it all, or to be reborn.
