Chapter 281: Dreams (1/2)

-----

As I slept, I woke up in my dreams.

Ah, now that I am a Daydreaming Dragon, I guess I can travel through dreams even easily.

I found myself floating in the middle of a beautiful starlight sky. Was I in some kind of dream imitating space itself?

I looked everywhere, and there was just an endless and beautiful cosmos.

Stars everywhere the eye could see, nebulas, and passing comets of brightly colored tails.

I began to dive through the endless cosmos, as I suddenly found somewhere else within it.

Huh? A beautiful, blue-skinned ice giant girl… Of course, how can I not recognize her?

”Benladann? Is that really you?”

I wondered if it was her because this could be the fabrication of a dream.

I checked her a bit, and it was indeed her, her soul flowed strongly from within her.

”Drake? Am I dreaming? This is the first time I dream of something so vividly and lucidly… I usually am in a daze when I dream…” she said.

”Y-Yeah, sorry about that, it's my dream, I think you mixed on it because we sleep too close with one another,” I said.

”Ooh… That's cool! I've never seen the dreams of another person before…” said Benladann.

”You don't mind?”

”If you don't mind, I don't mind.” She said cutely.

”Alright then my princess, come with me,” I said rather gallantly, as I extended my hand towards her, and she held it.

”Hehe, it's funny when you act gallantly…” she chuckled.

”Geh… I-It wasn't a joke…” I sighed.

”Oh… Sorry, it is still charming…” she said.

”I guess you can say that.” I laughed.

We flew around this cosmos-like dream, as we traveled towards the nearest nebula. It was blue and azure-colored, floating majestically across the vastness of this imaginary universe.

”So beautiful… I have never traveled to space before.” Said Benladann.

”Me neither, but in dreams, you can do anything you want… Anything on mind?” I asked, as I shaped the nebula into a couch and we both sat over it.

”Ooh, fancy…” she chuckled.

She sat at my side and rested her head over my shoulder.

”Hmm… I don't know… Oh! I know.” She said.

”What is it?”

”I have never seen how you looked in your previous life… Can I see it? You said we can do anything.” She said.

Ah… That caught me off guard.

Ugh, this is a bit embarrassing now…

I wasn't particularly the prettiest guy back then, nor anything special…

She'll see how pathetic I was… Ahh…

This is indeed embarrassing.

But if she loves me… then I guess she won't mind it too much?

I hope…

”Okay, but… promise me that you won't judge me based on how I used to be…” I sighed.

”Oh… S-Sure… I would never do such a thing…” she said, holding my hand.

”T-Then let's go…”

I waved my hand, as a dream portal emerged. I shaped a new dream based on my memories of my previous life at random, and we hopped inside of it.

Here we go then…

…

When I opened my eyes once more, I found myself inside my room.

Hm?

And I was… me?

I looked exactly like my previous life self.

And where's Benladann?

She's nowhere?

EH?!
