Fear. The darkness of Mana’s current world bleed fear from every direction. She had come too within a black void, empty and silent. She remembered what had happened, and upon looking up she saw those seven eyes staring back at her yet again. ”Run.” Was all it said before she gladly took the offer and bolted in a random direction. The demon, however, merely mused at this. They were in Mana’s mindscape, here, the demon was a god. Just being in her fear filled mind began to fill him with her nightmare. Being chased by a monster. His favorite.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the darkness, Nick and his tribe began to come too. “The hell happened?” Nick asked, struggling to lift himself off the ground.

“All I remember was a bright light, then we blacked out?” Ralph said, being the first to fully stand. “Least we’re not dead.”

“You may have second thoughts about that guys.” David said, leaning against the wall near a window he was looking out of.

Nick managed to walk over to the window, at first seeing the town, then, seeing the complete darkness surrounding it endlessly. “Wha? Where's’ the sky? The ground!?”

“Told you that wasn’t Rapture.”

“군대 같은 느낌 (Feels like the military again).” A Korean man spoke. He knew no english, but managed well enough. If all else failed he just pointed or asked Noa.

“You alright Han? Er, 괜찮아?” A Korean woman, and the only other person who speaks Korean in the tribe, Noa, asked. First in english and second in Korean, since she remembered he didn’t speak english.

“난 괜찮을거야 (I’ll Be Fine).” He replied.

“Good. So Nick, are those demons still out there?”

“No, just the town… and that’s literally ALL that is out there.”

“What?” Noa got up and upon seeing the outside, began to quickly lose her mind. “오, 이런 일이 일어날 수 없다. 정말로 일어난 일이 아닐까? 내세가 실제로 무엇인가? 우리 모두 죽었나요? 우리는 살아 있지만 지옥에 있습니까? 연옥? 대체 어디야!? (Oh hell no this can't be happening! Is this really what’s happening!? Is this really what the afterlife looks like? Are we all dead? Are we alive but in hell? Is this Purgatory? Where the hell are we!?)”

“No idea what she’s saying… I’m just gonna go walk around.” David said, finally regaining his balance.

“You can’t be serious.” Nick asked.

“Yeah, I am. Mainly cause I’m pretty sure I can hear screaming.”

With that said, Nick and Ralph both jumped up and listened at the window.

“Sounds like, a woman?” Ralph replied.

“Maybe she knows where we are? Dav-” As Nick turned to look at David, he was no longer where he was next to the window. Looking back outside he spotted David running through the town, rifle in hand. “David you ass! Come on Ralph, lets help.”

As Nick and Ralph ran after David, David was quickly closings in on who was screaming. Or rather what he saw was screaming. “What in the hell?” He said to himself as he spotted what was clearly an amethyst colored unicorn running through the streets… Followed closely by a demon. “Hey tall, black, and evil!”

The demon and pony both stopped dead in their tracks and looked at David. “Munch on these!”

All the demon saw after that was the strange creature pointing its metal “stick” at him, then it was followed by a loud BANG and then darkness.

David continued firing until his rifle fired every shell in its mag. As Mana was witnessing the same type of creature that the shrine in the cave displayed using a strange, LOUD, weapon to kill the demon, she failed to notice the two walking up behind her.

“David you- what the?” Nick froze as he tried to process what he was looking at. An amethyst colored pony, a UNICORN, to be specific, with eyes too big for her head and pure terror across her face as she stared at him. “Uhhh… I got nothing.”

“W… What are you?” Mana asked, causing Nick to fall flat on his ass and Ralph to go slack jawed.

“It… talked.” Nick said. “The horse talks!?”

“I'm pretty sure it's a pony. Horses are larger. So a pony unicorn? Now the apocalypse truly has made me see everything.” David said as he walked up to Mana. “Sup, I’m David. The idiot on his ass is Nick and the slack jawed giant is Ralph. You are?”

“M… Mana Break. What are you creatures?” Mana asked.

“We’re called humans. That thing chasing you was a demon and this “boomstick” I used to kill it is called a gun, specifically an M-15. Ugly isn't getting back up.”

“That’s a relief. How did you get here? That demon chased me here in my new home, but what about you three.”

“Not sure. All we can remember so far is that we were fighting demons in a last stand effort and then this bright light just appeared over us and the demons ran. Next thing I knew we woke up here less than a couple of minutes ago.”

“D… Do you know where we are?” Nick said, finally coming down from his stupor.

“Uhh. That demons said he was gonna feast on my nightmares… then I tried casting the same type of spell this book held. Yeah. It was the same spell that brought that demon into my world. For once my magic didn't blow up, opposite in fact. Then I woke up here.”

“You tried to cast a spell that summons demons to help fight against another demon?” Ralph said. Also out of his stupor.

“It said whatever was summoned was random and is determined by the casters mana reserves and willpower! Mana I have more than enough of, but controlling it is… Difficult.”

“But how does it feeding on your nightmares bring you here?”

“I have no idea.”

“Maybe we’re in her mind.” David said.

“Don't be stupid David, how could we possibly be in this unicorns mind?” Nick replied.

“Think about it. She casted some crazy spell, some crazy light covered us, she got chased by a demon that pulled her into her mind, we find her being chased by a demon to where we are. You telling me that this doesn’t seem connected?”

“It is amazing how you don't believe in god, yet you find that logical… and I hate how that seems true.”

“It just doesn't make sense to me.” Ralph said.

“Well I can think of one way to be sure. If she passes out here then she should wake up in her world, her body here should disappear.”

“Have you been watching that one christmas special of “Doctor Who” again?” Nick asked.

“Yes, but besides the point. It could work.”

“So what, she just falls asleep? What happens to us if that's true?”

“We get to become voices in her head that will drive her to madness~” David teased, earning a punch to the arm from Ralph. “Ouch! Fine, no madness. Annoyance at least!”

“Can I get a say in this?” Mana spoke up.

“Well in the possibility that we are all somehow in the mind of a three foot tall unicorn pony …. I don’t see why not.” Ralph said.

“Well… it’s just that, if we are in my mind, then that means the spell worked, but not how I wanted it to, like usual. But that also means... would you really be voices in my head when I wake up? And how many of you are there? The spell said something about the casters mana determining quantity as well? What is this, or rather, these buildings?”

“Well, how about we all introduce you to the rest of the tribe before you ask anymore and we’ll try to answer your questions.” Nick replied. “I could use a drink for this one.”

“You’re seventeen for god's sake Nick.” Ralph replied.

“Doubt age matters much right now.”

“... Fine. But don’t expect any help when you’re hungover.”
