The Dream Weaver

In the mystical forest of Tobenalawood, Karlissa, a determined young woman, seeks out Joric, a massive, long-dormant figure known as The Sleeper. Alongside her reluctant companion, Brel, Karlissa believes waking Joric is the key to stopping reality from fracturing.

Upon waking, Joric’s golden eyes flicker with ancient power. He senses something deeply wrong—The Void Walkers, shadowy entities that should not exist, have begun creeping into his dream and, by extension, the real world. Karlissa insists they must confront the force responsible inside the Dream Realm. Despite the immense risk, Joric agrees.

Entering the dream, they find themselves in an otherworldly void, where dream-logic reigns and time and space are fluid. But something worse than Void Walkers lurks within: The Unbidden, a being from the First Dream, cast out long ago. The Unbidden reveals its plan—to consume Joric’s dream entirely, reshaping reality to its own design.

A harrowing battle ensues. Karlissa is nearly lost to the void, but in a moment of desperation, she discovers she has a deeper connection to the Dream Realm than she realized—she is the Weaver. She uses this power to help Joric push back the encroaching darkness.

Waking in the real world, they find that the forest is wounded, its trees blackened at the edges. Karlissa, visibly shaken, has brought something back with her—the whisper of The Unbidden, hinting that the nightmare is not yet over.
