The dream realm (roleplay I am doing)

Rufus strolled through the ethereal realm, gradually acclimating his eye to the enigmatic darkness that enveloped it. Settling beside the ebony waters of a tranquil lake, he gazed intently at his reflection shimmering upon the surface. Suddenly, a voice resurfaced, causing Rufus to clutch his head in distress. "Why have you imprisoned us here? We must escape," the voice echoed within his mind. Rufus shook his head, witnessing one eye transform into a fiery crimson hue while the other retained its regal purple shade. "I refuse to depart this place until you cease to exist," he declared, a solitary tear tracing its path down his cheek. "I cannot allow the miasma to further destabilize our world," he calmly asserted, fixating his gaze upon the water's depths.

If you continue to behave in such a manner, I shall completely consume you," the voice would declare, causing Rufus to experience an excruciating pain that tore through his mind. He would cry out in agony, tears streaming down his face, before succumbing to unconsciousness and collapsing onto the vibrant crimson grass by the lake. After a brief period of time, he would regain consciousness, emitting a maniacal laugh. "Now, there is no way to hinder me... Even if you attempt to do so... trapped within the depths of your dream realm," he would proclaim, rising from the ground. His gaze would shift towards the lake, scanning the surroundings in search of the orb that would transport him back to the earthly realm. "Damn it, where did he discard it?" the man would mutter. "He has truly ensnared me within this place... How dare he!" the voice would angrily exclaim. "Nevertheless, I shall discover an escape route, but first, I must bestow upon myself a name. What shall it be... Ah, I have it... what was the name they bestowed upon me... Ari, that is it..." he would announce, a wicked smirk materializing on his countenance.

Rufus awoke in his ethereal realm, his eyes darting around in confusion. "Where am I? I must find a way out..." he muttered, his urgency propelling him through the mystical woods of his dream. With each step, his heart raced, until he stumbled and collapsed onto his knees, the soft sand of a beach cushioning his fall. As he touched the grains, a wave of emotions overwhelmed him, causing him to break down.

Summoning his strength, Rufus rose to his feet, determination etched on his face. "No, I cannot give up now..." he whispered to himself, his resolve unwavering. Suddenly, his gaze halted, fixated on the apparitions of his beloved mother, father, Jusis, and Crows, their dream spaces materializing before him. A glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.

"Perhaps this is the key..." he murmured, settling himself on the sandy shore, patiently awaiting the opening of one of their dream spaces. He yearned for the solace and guidance they could offer, as he embarked on his quest to escape this enigmatic realm.
