The Forgotten Dream Maker

Chapter 4: The Heart of Eternal Darkness



**

After the first battle with the Eternal Darkness, Youssef felt that he had gained some strength, but he knew the real battle had yet to begin. The Eternal Darkness was still out there, and Youssef knew he would have to face it again—this time at its heart, where its true power lay.

Youssef and Layla decided to embark on a journey to find the heart of the Eternal Darkness. They knew the path would be fraught with danger, but they were ready to make sacrifices to protect both the dream world and the real world.

One night, Youssef placed his hand on the television screen and entered the dream world with Layla. This time, they found themselves in a strange place resembling a dark desert, with black sand and a red sky. The atmosphere was heavy, as if it carried an evil energy.

Layla said, "This is the place where the Eternal Darkness draws its power. Here, we can find its heart."

They began walking through the desert, each step feeling as though it carried the weight of the world. After a while, they started hearing whispers around them. Shadows moved in the sand, as if trying to stop them.

Suddenly, a group of large shadows appeared, surrounding them from all sides. One of the shadows said, "You cannot pass. This world is not for you."

Youssef replied, "I'm here to stop the Eternal Darkness."

The shadow laughed and said, "You don't know what you're up against."

The shadows began advancing toward them, and Youssef felt fear creeping in. But Layla stood by his side and said, "Use your power, Youssef. You're stronger than you think."

Youssef closed his eyes and tried to imagine something powerful. Suddenly, a circle of light appeared around him and Layla, pushing the shadows away. The shadows screamed and began to retreat.

Layla said, "That's it! You're learning."

They continued walking until they reached a place that resembled a dark castle, made of black stone and adorned with strange symbols. In the center of the castle was a large door, locked with a massive padlock.

Layla said, "This is where the heart of the Eternal Darkness lies. Behind this door is its true power."

Youssef approached the door and felt a strange energy emanating from it. He placed his hand on the door, and suddenly, it swung open. Inside was a dark passage that seemed to have no end.

Layla said, "This is your path. But be careful—the shadows won't let you pass easily."

Youssef and Layla began walking down the passage. The air was cold, and the lights were dim. After a while, they started hearing whispers around them. Shadows moved on the walls, as if trying to stop them.

Suddenly, a group of large shadows appeared, surrounding them from all sides. One of the shadows said, "You cannot pass. This world is not for you."

Youssef said, "I'm here to stop the Eternal Darkness."

The shadow laughed and said, "You don't know what you're up against."

The shadows began advancing toward them, and Youssef felt fear. But Layla stood by his side and said, "Use your power, Youssef. You're stronger than you think."

Youssef closed his eyes and tried to imagine something powerful. Suddenly, a circle of light appeared around him and Layla, pushing the shadows away. The shadows screamed and began to retreat.

Layla said, "That's it! You're learning."

They continued walking until they reached a large room filled with ancient books and strange maps. In the center of the room, a person sat on a chair, wearing a white robe and holding a scepter.

The person said, "Welcome, Youssef. I've been waiting for you."

Youssef asked, "Who are you?"

The man replied, "I am the Keeper of Knowledge. And I'm here to teach you how to use your power."

The Keeper began explaining to Youssef the history of the Dream Makers, how they had protected humanity from evil forces seeking to control dreams. He told him that the shadows he had been seeing were part of an evil force called the Eternal Darkness, which sought to destroy the dream world and control human minds.

The Keeper said, "You must learn to control your power, or the Eternal Darkness will prevail."

Youssef began learning how to use his power more effectively. He learned how to create shields of light and how to permanently fix broken dreams. But he also learned that every use of his power came with a price, and he had to be cautious.

After some time of training, the Keeper said to Youssef, "You're ready now. But your journey isn't over yet. You must face the Eternal Darkness and stop its plans."

Youssef felt confident, but he also felt fear. He asked the Keeper, "How can I face it?"

The Keeper replied, "You must find its heart in the dream world. Only there can you defeat it."

Youssef and Layla left the room and returned to the dark passage. This time, they knew the path would be even more difficult. But Youssef was ready to face the challenge.

They began walking down the passage, and every step brought them closer to the final confrontation. But they didn't know that the Eternal Darkness was watching them and preparing to face them.

At the end of the passage, they found themselves in a dark place, filled with fog and eerie sounds. In the center of the place was a black throne, and on it sat a figure wearing a black robe with glowing red eyes.

The Eternal Darkness said, "Finally, you've arrived. I knew you would come."

Youssef said, "You won't destroy this world. I'll stop you."

The Eternal Darkness laughed and said, "You're just a little Dream Maker. What do you think you can do?"

The battle began. Youssef used everything he had learned, but the Eternal Darkness was powerful. Youssef began to feel tired, but he remembered the Keeper's words: "You're stronger than you think."

Youssef gathered all his energy and created a large circle of light around him. The circle began pushing the Eternal Darkness away until it disappeared into the darkness.

After the battle ended, Youssef felt exhausted. But he knew the fight wasn't over yet. The Eternal Darkness was still out there, and he would have to face it again.

Youssef and Layla returned to the shop, knowing that their journey wasn't over. They had to prepare for the final confrontation and protect the dream world from the evil forces.

But Youssef knew he wasn't alone anymore. He had Layla, and he had the knowledge he needed. And he knew he had to keep fighting, no matter the cost.
