Liam: "Okay, Mommy."

She smiled, satisfied for the moment.

One night, a storm rolled in, the wind howling and rain pelting against the windows. Liam woke from a nightmare, calling out.

Liam: "Mommy! Daddy!"

Amelia and Xander rushed to his room, finding him sitting up in bed, tears streaming down his face.

Amelia: "What's wrong, sweetheart?"

Liam: "I had a bad dream."

Xander: "Do you want to tell us about it?"

Liam hesitated before nodding.

Liam: "I was in a dark forest, and there were eyes watching me. Big, scary eyes."

Amelia sat beside him, wrapping her arms around him.

Amelia: "It's okay. It was just a dream."

Liam: "But it felt real."

Xander exchanged a concerned look with Amelia.

Xander: "Sometimes our dreams can seem very real, especially when we're feeling strong emotions."

Liam: "Will you stay with me?"

Amelia: "Of course."

They stayed until he fell back asleep, but the incident left them unsettled.

The following morning, Amelia decided to speak with Xander privately.

Amelia: "I think there's more to Liam's dreams."

Xander: "You think they're visions?"

Amelia: "Possibly. Is that common?"

Xander: "In some cases, yes. Especially if his abilities are awakening."

She rubbed her temples.

Amelia: "This is more complicated than I imagined."

Xander: "Perhaps we should consult someone with more experience."

Amelia: "Like who?"

Xander: "Elias. He helped us before."
