When Eliora used the magic key, the portal collapsed again in a bright light, and she found herself in the world of dreams. This world was incredible and mysterious. The landscapes were constantly changing, and the environment seemed alive and full of movement. The ground beneath his feet floated and distorted, as if its non-existent surface was rocking on a sea wave. The colors around her were bright and changed depending on where she looked: pink skies, green clouds, purple forests and orange rivers, all floating and combining into a phantasmagorical picture.

  In this chaos, Eliora felt that everything around her was an illusion. She couldn't distinguish between what was real and what wasn't, and it created a sense of disorientation. The fog rose and intertwined into bizarre shapes, and sounds and images instantly replaced each other. Eliora noticed that her own thoughts and feelings seemed to interact with the world around her, creating even more complex images.

  Amidst the frenzy, a figure appeared, glowing softly in the darkness. It was a wise witch named Lumina. She was wrapped in long purple and silver robes, and her eyes radiated wisdom and understanding. Lumina held a glowing staff in her hands, and her presence was both soothing and exhilarating.

  "Welcome, traveler," Lumina said, her voice melodious like the songs of the stars. —I am Lumina, the guardian of this world of dreams. I've heard about your journey and your determination. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

  Eliora, though exhausted from the journey, replied gratefully. "I'm looking for my brother, Prince Loren. The sage said that he was imprisoned in one of the darkest corners of this world. How can I find him?"

  Lumina nodded, her eyes searching the princess. "Yes, I know where he is. Lauren is in a dark corner of his own dream, surrounded by the shadows of his fears and doubts. To find him, you will need to go through the maze of your own fears. This maze is made up of illusions and reflections of your deepest worries."

  Elyora sighed, realizing that her upcoming ordeal would be difficult. "How do I get through this maze?"

  Lumina touched her hand, and a warm glow enveloped her. "You have to face your own fears and overcome them in order to move on. Use your inner strength and confidence, and remember that your determination and love for your brother will be your guiding stars."

  With that, Lumina pointed to the portal that opened in front of Eliora. She stepped into it, and a maze of darkness and fog appeared in front of her. The path was confusing, and the walls of the maze were filled with mirages and visions that represented her own fears.
