BETWEEN DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES Once, in a land far away, the Masters of Dream and Nightmares were banished to the realm of deep sleep. They were powerful demigods who sought to enter the real world and rule all mankind. However, their plans were thwarted when they were banished to the realm of sleep by powerful unknown magic. For centuries, they remained trapped in the realm of sleep, unable to escape.

But one day, a long-lost portal was discovered. The portal of Tereash had been lost for thousands of years. Both the Masters of Dream and Nightmares saw this as their chance to escape the realm of sleep and enter the real world. With their unique abilities, the Masters of Dream and Nightmares began to penetrate the world of reality. They caused havoc and chaos wherever they went, and dreams and nightmares blended into man’s world like watery paint on canvas. The people of the world were terrified, and they didn’t know what to do.

The Masters of Dreams sought to bring peace and tranquility to the world of sleep. However, they were arrogant. They believed that dreams were a sacred space, a place where the mind could wander free and explore the deepest recesses of the soul. But is this true freedom? The Masters of Nightmares had other plans. They sought to rule outright the world of sleep with an iron fist, to twist and warp the dreams of mortals into a never-ending nightmare. They believed that fear was the true ruler of the world of sleep, and that only through terror could they achieve their ultimate goal: to rule over all mankind.

So what say you? Are you a disciple of dreams or a creature of nightmares or are you a wizard with magic to exile both Dreams and Nightmares? In this world of chaos and confusion, it is up to you to decide. Will you stand with the Masters of Dreams and fight for apparent freedom and peace? Or will you join the Masters of Nightmares and embrace the darkness? Or will you be the wizard with the power to exile both Dreams and Nightmares, and bring balance to the world once again?

Whatever your choice may be, remember that the fate of the world rests in your hands. Choose wisely, for the consequences of your actions will be felt for generations to come.
