Julian Fox: The Dream
Guardian
by E. J. Miranda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
It is
said that dreams are just that: only dreams. But believe me, this is not always
true. Some dreams are as real as the dreamer.
Thanks
to their dreams, dreamers can receive the special visit of eternal wisdom that
has inspired the creativity of great inventors, scientists, musicians, and even
writers throughout the ages.
This
creative wisdom is not always the type that appears to the eager conscience.
Sometimes, a Defiler, a destroyer of dreams, is the one who tries to appear
before the dreamer. These creatures were once humans, but they allowed their
pain and desire for revenge to take over and seek the same miserable fate for
the one who dreams.
You
must not fear — Dream Guardians, also known as Kelsdrant, will always protect
the one who dreams, even with their own life. They are people of flesh and
bone, just like you and me, or at least they are on Earth.
The
following story is dedicated to the fun, extravagant, and enlightening life of
Julian Fox, the Dream Guardian.
Be prepared, dear reader. It is time to dream, laugh, reflect,
and even maybe cry.
Welcome to the Land of the Wise Dreams.

EXCERPT THREE:
Chapter 8: The Fate of the Carrier
That
night, he locked his door to protect himself from Nicholas’s intentions. He
knew his brother was very patient and would wait for the opportune moment to
execute the perfect prank.
The
occasion was presented that night when the unsuspecting victim, Julian, was
asleep since he had to get up earlier than usual. Nicholas could finally do
something to torture his brother to compensate for the terrible sushi
experience. He dressed in black, wanting to be mysterious like in the movies.
He glided silently through the house unseen, even by the discreet service
staff. He went to the kitchen where Julian had forgotten to remove the
duplicate key to his door from the keychain that contained all the copies of
the house’s keys.
Taking
it, he went quietly to his brother's room with a small flashlight in his hand.
He opened the door quietly, knowing that if he was discovered he would be in
trouble. However, his evil desire forced him to move forward. This audacity
cheered him on:
“Bah!
So what if Mom rips my ears off? At least it is for a good cause.”
His
evil plan was to move forward all the clocks in the house by two hours. Thus,
the innocent Julian would get up early, sleepy and most importantly, in a bad
mood. Julian would need those two hours, just like he had needed the
indigestion medicine that his mother had given him to prevent further damage to
his body and mind.
One
by one, Julian’s watches joined the conspiracy. His own cell phone, all the
watches, and the alarm clocks surrendered to Nicholas, the defiler of time.
