Book nightopians

NiGHTS and Nightopians.

NiGHTS is playing flute, surrounded by Nightopians, when Reala appears and challenges them for a game to see who flies higher and faster. NiGHTS fails to notice that it is a trap and accepts Reala's challenge. It's when NiGHTS is distracted that Reala imprisons them inside an Ideya Palace and leaves.

Stuck inside the Ideya Palace, NiGHTS starts playing their invisible flute after getting over the fact they can't do anything to escape. Their flute's sound attracts Elliot, who was exploring the world of dreams. Elliot releases NiGHTS by using a mysterious red light which makes them fuse. As they fly through Nightopia, NiGHTS and Elliot befriend each other.

Their courage made a tiny light appear. When they came closer to it, the light absorbed all of the darkness. Wizeman fleed, but promised to return as soon as weakness is born again inside either NiGHTS or Elliot's heart. Nightopia was finally saved from the Nightmarens. The story ends with Elliot wakes up in bed and on the last page shows Claris sleeping in her bed as NiGHTS appeared in Twin Seeds.

Trivia[]

  • NiGHTS is portrayed as very childish, selfish, and cocky in the book, constantly insulting Elliot despite the latter always helping them. When NiGHTS was stuck inside the Ideya Palace, they ordered Elliot to help them, despite neither of them knowing how to break through it. As Elliot didn't know how to do it, NiGHTS would insult him.
    • NiGHTS also appears to be very naive, as when Reala challenges them for a game, they fail to notice that it is a trap.
    • Also, unlike in NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, NiGHTS doesn't care about Elliot finding out that they are a Nightmaren. In fact, NiGHTS proundly announces they're one when Elliot asks them if that is true.
  • This book doesn't feature any second level Nightmaren.
  • Claris makes a cameo in the last page.
  • Spring Valley is an Elliot dreamworld in the storybook, contradicting with NiGHTS into Dreams, where Spring Valley is a Claris dreamworld.
  • Pole and Gao were the only the only third level Nightmarens who didn't appear in the book.
  • NiGHTS goes by male pronouns in the book, even nicknaming themself as "Mr. NiGHTS".
