Chapter 1727 Dream Walker
Adrian went to the location of the dream walking girl as she always makes it to Limbo when she uses her Astral Projection. Adrian knew of this skill as it is actually a skill that is said to be available to those that have been blessed by the God of Dreams. The blessing of the God of Dreams is usually the case but this one is different.
Usually, those with the God of Dream Morpheus' blessing would Astral Project in the mortal plane as their soul could separate from their body. They would usually use this to travel to places that they can never visit, or they wish to visit. This is the reason why they have this type of skill as the God of Dreams actually took pity on them.
People with the ability to Astral Project are usually beings that are laying in bed or those that could not endure travel to long distances. The God of Dreams Morpheus is someone who gives joy and finds comfort on giving those that cannot have a chance in the real world in the dream world. It is also an incredibly strict process as the God of Dreams does not give this ability just to anyone else.
The last time that someone with an evil personality was given this blessing had resulted in a whole kingdom getting erased off the map. That was a very sad incident that increased the workload of all the people in the underworld as those people should not have died yet. The God of Dreams Morpheus had to shut himself up for a century or two before he returned to duty.
A Dream Walker is what the people of the underworld call those that are blessed by the God of Dreams Morpheus. They literally traverse the plane of existence via their souls while they are dreaming in their sleep. They are not dead but are in a death like state since they need to be like that in order to astral project.
The Dream Walkers are also protected from any of the gods of death when they are astral projecting. They are often covered in what people call Dream Dust, but it is just like sand with magical properties. This makes sure that random grim reapers would not suddenly ferry their souls to the afterlife.
"How many times does this make?" Adrian asked as he lost count after the fifth.
"This makes it the thirteenth time, young master." The Anubis stated as even it was already tired of having to escort the girl's soul back to the realm of the living.
"This is a very strange case since those with that blessing should not be able or rather should not be allowed in the afterlife. If they were even to step inside, then they would be repelled as per the law of the Book of the Dead." Adrian stated as he memorized the rules of the underworld in his free time as he found it intriguing.
"I have consolidated the God of Dreams Morpheus about her situation but even he has yet to know why as well. He even said that the little girl does not have his blessing when I asked the last time." The Anubis stated.
"Did you say that she is not blessed?" Adrian asked to make sure that he heard it correctly.
"Yes. The God of Dreams Morpheus verified that she is not blessed by him as he did not bless anyone during this century." The Anubis stated.
"Then is she actually a natural Dream Walker? Someone that was actually born with the ability to Astral Project. Have you seen her origins? Did you check that since I have already told you that last time?" Adrian stated.
"I went to personally check but it seems that her origins itself is very unusual. I cannot step foot inside her house as there is actually a house god that resides there." The Anubis stated which shocked Adrian as that would mean that the little girl has very special origins.
"Nether!" The little girl called out as she suddenly ran towards Adrian and hugged him.
The little girl was about five to seven years old in age. She is also quite small for her age as she does not even get pass Adrian's waist. She wore a simple kimono like dress, but one could see that it is made of high-quality silk.
"Yumeko! I thought I told you that you should not be here as this is not a place for the living." Adrian stated as he was always straightforward even as a child.
Adrian was raised based on logic but with love so that he has the ability to empathize with others. Since he was raised just like this, he is not really the favorite of the children as he would often be called as boring. He was someone that does not cater to the playful whims of a child when it comes to chores and such.
"But Yumeko likes it here! This is the only place that I can visit when I am asleep. Shirohe said that this is all a dream and that you are not real." Yumeko stated as she tilted her head.
"That is the thing. This place is very real, but it is not for those that are still alive, and you are still alive." Adrian stated but Yumeko seems to not understand clearly what he meant.
"I guess we cannot do anything unless we visit the God of Dreams Morpheus himself." Adrian stated as he sighed since he did not want to go to another death realm.
"Shall I notify the God of Dreams Morpheus or your arrival?" The Anubis stated.
"Notify him of our arrival as I will bring Yumeko with me." Adrian stated.
"But you must not bring that child to Hades! It would make her more accustomed to the afterlife which might make her soul unable to return back to the world of the living." The Anubis stated in shock.
"I will protect her myself since I need to bring her with me. We will not be going to Hades though. We will go to the direct residence of the God of Dreams Morpheus which is Erebus." Adrian stated as he opened a portal that looked like it was all darkness.
"Where are we going?" Yumeko asked.
"We will be going to the Land of Dreams. Do you want to come with me, or do you want to go back home?" Adrian stated.
"I do not want to go home when I just got here! Besides, I will wake up once you send me home and that would be boring." Yumeko stated as she held Adrian's hands.
Adrian is actually impressed that Yumeko is not afraid of him because his true form is very terrifying for children. Even the normal adult ghosts that come to Limbo thought they were getting punished by the god of all evil when they saw him. It was only when the Anubis explained what he was is when they calm down.
The little girl before him was definitely a person with such a strong will. She might even be someone that could become a person of high authority if she ever makes it pass the age of fifteen. The numerous times that Yumeko has already been in Limbo has made her very familiar with Adrian and the others.
It seems that she has a very weak constitution in the real world which is why she said that it is only in her dreams that she can travel. If Adrian is not busy and returning to the main world, he would often bring Yumeko to parts of the central continent in her sleep which made her incredibly fond of him. He also brought her to Avalon where she actually was able to interact with kids her almost her age which are the two oracles.
Yumeko was already used to Adrian, and he always answered truthfully when they take journeys. To Yumeko, all of it is just a dream and she treats it as a figment of her creative mind, but Adrian knew that everything was real. He did not want to witness Yumeko suddenly being unable to return back to her mortal body should a strange complication were to take place.
"I also have to talk to the God of Dreams Morpheus about something since it is related to memories. He is the one God that should be asked when it comes to things that deal with memories." Adrian muttered as he entered the portal that he created with Yumeko holding his hand.
The God of Dreams Morpheus is said to be the one God that everyone prays to in order to have sweet dreams, but he also has another power. He has the power to give people their memories that they have forgotten back as if it was fresh. Many scholars even called him the God of Memories as well but the God Morpheus always told the others that dreams are also memories that became creative.
