Cyanel Concept

Jayson returned to the main house. He looked for the Guardian of Dreams in every corner of the room but he did not find him. He sat on the living room chair and reach for the book lying on another chair beside him. The book has a blue cover with a design of different sized flowers. It is noticeable that the pages are uneven because some are thick, thin, and riped. Maybe he could use this to pass his time. He started scanning every page, skipping the wall of hand-written pages, and paying attention to pictures or objects that are pasted on the pages. He continued turning the pages until he saw the largely written word "Magic" with a bunch of thread around it. The Magic Thread We were playing hide-and-seek when Rayos fell off the tree while trying to hide there. Everyone is worried because his stomach did not stop bleeding. Linn tried to cover it by wrapping the affected area using the fabric from her skirt. Delo already left to call for help because we cannot carry him. Every

Jayson stood in front of the tombstone. He wanted to confirm something but he forgot what he was going to do. He tried touching the ground hoping that he will sense their auras but he failed. This dream made him powerless. He sat in despair waiting for his consciousness to get him out of this place. It is better this way rather than bursting into anger, he thought. "Why are you here? I already said that you can stay at our main house." It was Lealyn. She put her fists on her waist consecutively tap her feet. "I am waiting for your explanation, traveler." "I just want to see the grave of your parents." "How rude! I did not expect this kind of attitude from you." "What are you talking about? I did nothing to upset you." "The truth is, you want me to assume that my parents are dead. But they are not dead! I can feel it. They can hear me. They can hear you too!" "You are crazy, stop it." "Cannot you understand? I on

Jayson cleared his throat before proceeding to tell the best story he could create. "I have been to a place where everything is moving. They are people inside boxes and they do not seem to be bothered when I look at them in their places. People do not even need to walk as long as they have money. "I got scolded back then because I tried to jump out of the moving platform. I think I had to be thankful for Rey because he stopped me." "Who's Rey?" asked Kid. "He is a reckless and immature person that needs a lot of guidance." "Have you ever taught that there might be a reason why he acts that way?" "Back then I have no idea." Kid nodded. "Tell me more about your friends and the people there." He realized that he doesn't want to talk about Rey anymore so maybe he could switch the topic to Annie. "Rey has a best friend named Annie. She let me stay at their house. As days pass I came to realize how it feels like to

"Jayson, wake up! You slept for too long and now you are sixteen years old," said the voice of the guardian. He was lying on a wooden floor. He raised himself and set aside his blanket. "What is it this time?" He did a facepalm and brushed his hair only to realize that its length reaches his waist. "This is too long! I don't want this!" "Come on, you look more handsome with long hair! You look like the rapper I know." "Rap... what? What is happening? Why your hair..." "Speak one word about my hair. You will never wake up from this dream again." He crossed his arms and looked at the open window "We changed our plan now so we will not go through everything but we fast forward three years from yesterday." The door opened and revealed a girl with long wavy hair. "Good morning. My name is Lealyn and I'm the owner of this hut. Sorry for not showing up I just arrived today." Jayson was baffled that the lit

He never thought that he would see the sky sparkling like what he sees right now. The trees whistled, and the grass danced as the wind blows. He was lying on the ground, feeling the soft breeze of nature. It was a surreal experience. He wished that real life is beautiful like this one. There are no pain and conflict around. It is just him and his surrounding. He switched his head to the right saw a figure beside him. He immediately inhaled and held his breath. "Don't be so surprised, Mister. It is me, Kid from the earlier." "When did you get here?" Jayson said with furrowed brows. "We played hide and seek and I just decided to stay here instead," he said enthusiastically. "So you ditched your playmates?" He quickly raised his upper body and clapped once.  "Please do not tell them!" he begged. Jayson let out a big sigh. "I want this to end now. This is taking too long." "You should not think too much." Kid lied o

"My suspicions are right," said Kid who appeared out of nowhere. "Is this a warning that something is going to happen here." The guardian of dreams remained quiet letting the cold sweat run down to his cheeks. Jayson felt that he needed to respond because his guardian seems to be nervous around Kid. "Just what I've said earlier, we're here to observe." "Then Mr. Dreams are interested in humans?" They remained silent. "Great news! Enjoy your stay here. I will pretend that this is the first time I met you." He pointed the guardian of dreams. Then he disappeared like nothing happened. "I'm scared! I thought he is gonna teleport us to another place. When that happens, everything becomes swirling and twisting and spinning..." "If you don't want that to happen, then why you made this dream so realistic anyway?" "Because you want the truth!" "You can just turn us invisible!" "You can

It was dawn when they found the animal. If this happened in the real world, Jayson would have already found the piglet in a matter of seconds using his ability. He was walking; still carrying the boy on his back, while the boy is carrying the piglet on his arms. "I am really grateful for your help, Mister. You can now put me down and I will walk my way to the barn." "No." He said as his sweat ran down on his face. "Why? You are tired of carrying me like this and you need to rest." "It is our duty, as a complete human to help disabled people like you. You suffered from the day you are born in this world and we should do everything we can to make you feel better." "I may not see the beautiful things around me but there you are proving me that I'm wrong. Your kindness is beautiful." There is a girl who appeared on the distance and waved her arms. "Kid, let's play together with our friends!" "Later Lealyn, I haven'

"What is your name?" asked the light green-haired guy. "I'm Jayson," he replied. "Good! I'll be your guide today. Follow me." He started singing a song about life on a farm while walking. In the forest near the grassland, they followed the path of tiles made of rock. "Are you really the same person? You act differently," Jayson asked. "Yes, but some of my memories were removed by him." The scent of the freshness of their surrounding made them pause. They gaze at the small village enclosed by a huge and almost circular-looking farm. "He hates humans, doesn't he? I'm talking about the one manipulating this dream." "I don't think so, he is a calm and composed person." "Nevermind what I said." He continued to walk. "In this world, we are travelers. We explore many places to observe their culture because, at this time, there are only a few records about this country." "Why do w

Annie bawled her fist to prevent it from trembling. "I don't want to. I've heard enough." Jayson did the opposite. He calmly walked towards the Guardian of Dreams. "I trust your ability to manipulate dreams. You... showed me what my twin looks like." "I can assure you she is still alive." "We'll never know. But... Thanks, I guess." Jayson reached his hand. The mysterious man tightened his grip to Jayson when it immediately fell asleep to where it was standing. He removed his cloak and covered it to the kid. He sat down in a soil full of leaves and put Jayson above his legs. He did not remove his grip in its hand and using his available hand, he gently combed its silky hair. Annie eagerly tapped the person beside him. "Rey wake up! Jayson is in trouble." "Nothing will happen to him as long as I'm holding his hand. I control his dream and I can wake him up whenever I want to. As for your other companion, he is not dre

Annie and Jayson were in the living room. Jayson is busy doing curl-ups. Annie was playing PSP, sitting on a small wooden stool to hold anchor Jayson's feet. "Why do you need to exercise? It's late afternoon and you already did workout after the mass." "Before I came into your world, I can do curl-ups without a thing holding my feet on the ground. My strength decreased because I have no one to spar with." "Hmm... You should have asked Rey. He has a lot of acquaintances. For sure he will immediately find the right sparring partner for you." She laid her gadget onto the sofa. Now that she remembered Rey, she can't think of anything besides the guilt for not telling the truth about the guardian of dreams. "The curse was made by your friend's ancestor. "But it resulted in a backlash on their bloodline. In every generation, their spirit gets weaker. Causing them to die from illness earlier than average humans. "Your friend has the

He sat on the floor and crossed his legs. "What did you talk about while I'm asleep?"  "Secret." Annie swept the floor removing the dust in  her room. "There is a human inside the bottle. We must set him free." He was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. His green eyes won't stop moving on its own. 'He doesn't look too well. Maybe he is still dizzy,' Rey thought. "A witch did this to him." She put aside the broom beside the door. Annie sat beside Rey and hugged her legs. "Witch? Like the people in your world, Jayson?" "Executing a curse is dangerous. The one who curses will turn into a stone while the cursed one will become a stone. That's why no one bothers to perform that black magic." "But he didn't turn into a stone. He's locked inside the bottle," said Annie. "So a different witch made the curse." Rey holds his chin."Ah! In every world, we need to find one w

A day had passed since they arrived in their world. It is Sunday, Rey prepared the important stuff into his bag. He turned to the mirror in his room. He fixed the collar of his blue polo paired with brown jeans. Everything is ready but he forgot to say goodbye to his friends. In exchange, he left his house and went to their house. They started a conversation outside the house. Annie and Jayson are well-dressed too. "Why are you wearing your sword Jayson? We will only go to church," said Annie. "Why you people always stopped me from bringing my swords? Back then at school and now at church? How about when something to us?' complained Jayson. "Hep hep! Stop that this will be a fast meeting. Me and my Dad will leave today. I will return by Monday morning. It is my uncle's birthday today so for sure they will drink again up until midnight." "Do you remember what they said? Bad things might happen to us if we skip days in opening the bottle," told

In a blink of an eye, everything around him vanished and only darkness prevailed. "Annie? Jayson?" He shouted to the void but what he said only repeated on his ears. "Mr. Alien? Where are you guys?" For unknown reasons, a light appeared from above and it shone its spotlight on the belt that is lying on the floor. Only the sound of his footsteps remained in the darkness of the path he walked in to. When he reached the circular light, he grabbed the belt from the floor. Bruises painted on his body making him release it. When the belt reached the ground, it splashed like water all over the place. His legs started to move on its own. Hugging himself, he ran away from the mysterious thing. He only stopped when a figure bumped him. "Annie?" He held her shoulder so that she will not disappear in the darkness. "Rey, did you know that I don't like dealing with all the nonsense you tell me? The truth is, I'm more fortunate when our classmates approached

I noticed that Bottle of Stories (54) is a short update that's why when I finished writing, I made 3 drawings for that chapter. 1.Annie's reaction When I drew this I was just fooling around and enjoying myself. I used "ibis Paint X" on this one and practice with the brush called "Genius Pen". From what I have on my mind, I want to make it distorted so I tried to lessen the use of the curve line. I like the results of this one. It's funny and it can be used as an emoji to my conversation. 😆 2. Rey and Annie whispering to each other This took more than 12 hours to make (took me three days because I draw other stuff and write too). I don't believe it's 11 hours because "ibis Paint X"   doesn't record undo and I know I made a lot, especially on the sketch and lineart part. I can't use pressure sensitivity on my phone that's why I use a "Genius Pen." There is a trick to

"Those what you see mirrors the forgotten creature you want to meet. It is fueled by your happiness and that emotion makes me exist. That is why you see them through me." "Alien is what I'm seeing right now. How 'bout you guys?" asked Rey to his accompaniment. "Leil of Clataniaforce," answered Annie. "Turtle?" curiously asked by Jayson. "Yes, because your sister's happiness is yours too," he told Jayson. "How about me! Why do I see my favorite character, Leil?" She vigorously steps on the ground to conceal her excitement. "Because you fell for someone who can't love you back," he answered. Rey put his hands on his chin and looked up to the sky. "I remember that I used to love reading about extraterrestrial stuff back then." "I hope that even for a short time, you experience joy by seeing them. I wish to make you happy. I, the guardian of dreams." In their eyes, they saw him made a

They arrived in a world with a purple sky. The trees in the surrounding almost stem only because of the continuous falling of leaves. Their eyes opened when the leaves touched their skin. They saw the impossible in this place. Alien. There is no concrete evidence that they are true but why are they here? Rey closed his eyes for three seconds to make sure that he is not dreaming. When he opened his eyes, the creature is still there. It is small but its body has the same size as its head. It has three big eyes and four skinny tentacles. Turtle. There is no shore nearby so how it came here? Jayson kneeled down to look closely at the animal. A combination of brown and green can be seen in this turtle. Human. It is impossible because he is a human from a game. Annie's world stopped for a moment. He captures all of the characteristics of her favorite character from head to toe. Two plasma pistol that looks like a water gun was strapped on his legs. Jayson doesn't know if the t

Shermaine proceeded to their room to look if it's clean and if the chairs are properly aligned in each row. She did not expect to see her three classmates there. "What are you doing here? Rey, your father is looking for you." His eyes enlarged when he heard that. He smiled at Annie. "Looks like we are not going to walk together. Good thing there is Jayson." Annie nodded before tapping Jayson who is unconscious again. "Jayson, Jayson! let's go home." Rey chuckled. "He'll wake up soon." Shermaine saw Rey running before he vanishes from her sight. Her classmate that is lying on the floor caught her attention because he is not moving until now. *** "Why are your clothes different?" Shermaine asked Annie but looking at Jayson who is in deep slumber. "You're still here? Do you have a project that needs to be done?" asked the maiden nurse while busy using her phone. "We don
