Chapter 88: Across Lake Tamaki

The crystal clear waters of Lake Tamaki bubbled over as the portal leading to the Death Dream collapsed underneath, releasing a burst of green light. As the Death Dream finally came to an end, Xander's system panel displayed another set of cryptic messages.

[Four great tragedies sink beneath the waves]

[As the child of sin is saved by love.]

[One dream ends in despair]

[While another opens its eyes to the light of hope.]

[Last Memories appeased!]

[500 exp gained.]

[Objective Completed: End the Death Dream!]

[1000 exp gained.]

[Accumulated exp: 4500/5000.]

[Current Level: 7.]

[Dream Coins acquired: 200.]

With the portal closed, it was now safe to cross the lake.

Leena gently caressed Tiva's forehead, running her warm fingers upon the little girl's soft, smooth skin.

"It's time to wake up. Uncle Xander is back," she whispered in a loving, motherly voice.

"Just five more…minutes," Tiva mumbled back in her sleep, snuggling in Leena's lap like a little bunny.
