"Poor dear, she must have been scared of just about everything larger than her. She must be younger than any fae I've ever seen, she's about half the size of those  the Shade has used," Mossed said, watching Goldenscale cradle the two, "Just wondering, how long did she go before finding you?"

"That would both correct and wrong at the same time. This is the reverie, the world of dreams. Eveyone comes here when the fall deep enoug into sleep, but there are those who live  here as part of this realm. There are also those who have traveld out and into this world without falling asleep," a creature resembling a mass of candy shaped into  a dragonesc form, "This world isn't between the realms of dream and reality, it is the world of dreams."

"Um.... sure, whatever you say," Clair stuttered, being startled by the creature, "Thank you for the clarification."

"About a week.  She's three." she said as she nuzzled Ece.

"That would be explainable.  I was just tol by Goldenscale sort of what this was, though I know she was still confused by this." Ricken said with a slight nod.

"Well, isn't that a strange coincidense? Mayumi was about that age when she was sepparated from her family by the Shade. She was reunited with them five years later, but I bet she still clings to those years she had to live on her own," Mossed said, smilling as he watched Goldenscale and Ece, "II'm glad she found such a caring person to take her in, especially after loosing her family. I can sense that she lost them in a particularly tragic way, but some things are better left alone. I can tell by the dark aura her mind gives off here that it has hurt her deeply."

As Goldenscale nuzzled Ece, the bubble like field around her slowly faded until it popped like the substance it resembled. "Hm...... Mom, is this a dream," Ece asked sleepily, "What is this place?"

"Ah, so you two are part of the group who came alongside Goldenscale. That explains why ou two are so different from the dragons that call Valenth and the Reverie home," the creature said, a crystal like ball coming to the surface of its forehead, "Glad I could clear up some confusion. Sometimes it  can get rather chaotic around here."

"This is a place in the dream world.  We're at a party." Goldenscale said to her.  "Ece, I want you to meet someone.  His name is Mossed.  He was the one that showed me your brother."

"It seems like it would get chaotic considering how many different creatures are here." Ricken said.

"I only showed her the components, she did the rest. I'm just glad I could provide for you a brother and friend," Mossed said as the black disks spotting his body began expanding into large prtective plates of metal that acted as a second skin. "Well, It looks like I've final reverted to my original state. It's been quite a while since I last had this happen," he said, raising up a hand and watching as one plate expanded and coved it, "The energy of this world and the waking world are so different."

"That's not what I'm talking about. This world is controled by the minds of the sentient and living. Since every living being on Valenth is here, it is less chaotic than usual as there are way fewer minds making pure use of imagination," the creature said, "Outside this mansion, the land is always shifting and changing, as with its inhabitants. There are very few places where the land remains as stable as this place does, and even then the inhabitants are much more dangerous."

"Yes, I'd have to agree with you." Goldenscale said with a chuckle.

"Then again, I've never been anywhere or known about anything other than my own world.  It must be much different in your world." Ricken said.

"So he gave you the stiff to make Alekai," Ece asked, tilting her head.

"Correct, I showed her the parts and the plans. She put the parts together and created his soul and mind," Mossed said, setting the varanius he was holding down, "She did a rather nice job doing so. I had to modify a few parts to make him work correctly, but she put them all together."

"Your world is likely to be very different from the Reverie and Valenth. The Reverie itself is vastly different from any world out there, all because it is a world connected to all of them through the minds of the living," the creature said, setting its drink on the table, "So far, the only world to actually make a portal into this world is Valenth. So, anything you would like to know about this world or the locals?"

"And I didn't know how to do any of it before I started buiding him.  But he is my dear little Alekai now and your brother." she said as she nuzzled Ece.  "I have Mossed to thank for showing him."

"I am baffled about how you have different subspecies in a single species.  I saw that there was a glass creature earlier and I am confounded by it.  Could you explain it to me?" Ricken asked.

"Well, it looks as though Dreamscar is getting ready to start the final events of the celebration. If you want to look around a little more and maybe buy a few things that you like, do so now. After the concert, everyone will be sent back to their worlds where they will wake," Mossed said, looking off to the side to see several instruments being wheeled about, "It's been nice seeing you again."

"Leupaks are a litteral creature of dreams.While there are several traits that will remain the same between each individual, most are unique to the concept they formed around. Even those born outside the Reverie fallow this. There are specific traits hat are used to determine what kind of leupak one is. The glass one you saw earlier was likely a vial leupak. Every shardborne leupak possesses a dreamshard that is tied to their existance. Just like the creature that houses it, the dreamshard  can take on any shape, color, and texture," the creature said, summoning a small book and handing it to Ricken, "That book details the most common traits. The most uncommon and weakest leupaks are venomborne. They do not possess a dreamshard as a result of their formation. Any creature exposed to enough miratoxin or mirajin will be mutated into a leupak that most resembles their thoughts and dreams. Most don't survive the transformation, but those that do offten despaire over it or seek out a way to reverse the transformation."

"It was nice seeing you too, Mossed." Goldenscale said as she went back to observe.  Maybe she sould bring back a souvenir from her first Doctor's Ball.

"That is incredible.  Back in my world, I was considered a magician and I would try to attempt to at least create illusions of creatures made from inanimate objects.  I thank you for the book.  This truly is an amazing place..." Ricken said with a smile.

"This place is so bright and chearful," Ece said as she looked around, "I never would have thought a place like this would exist. What place is this exactly?"

"You wouldn't believe most of the things here in this world. Anything you can imagine exists here in all forms," the creature said, "You may be more interested in the Boralion. They are the local dragon flight of this world. They have skeletons made of  miracrystal, and are litteral symbols of the Dreamwaker himself."

"I actually have no idea.  This is my first time too..." she said with a chuckle as they looked around.  "Anything that looks promising to you?"

"Now that is amazing.  Their skeletons are created from a crystal found in your world?" he asked.

"Those crystals at that booth look nice, can we have a closer look," Ece asked, pointing over to a booth lined with crystals carved into all shapes and forms, "I wonder what kind of crystal they are."

"Their skeletons grow like any other creature's. However, theirs never stop growing. There are several boralions that have lived so long they efectively became living miracrystals due to their bones encapsulating their entire body," the creature said, making a small modle of one such boralion form in front of it, "Even in this state, they are a force to be reconed with. They crystal only serves t make them harder to hurt in this state."

Goldenscale held Ece and walked over to the booth, observing the crystals.

"Interesting...  Is Mirajin a form of element found on your world?" Ricken asked, not knowing what this object was that was being used so often.

"I see you've taken an interest in my starstones. They're a new development from the SRO. They have made it possible to recreate the creatures of myth that have been forever traced in the skies above Valenth. These crystals are created from the very energy they left behind all those mellenia ago.  They will come to life once someone touches it, creating a bond similar to that of a parent to a child between the person and the starstone. There are twelve different types to choose from," the aeneski behind the booth said with a smile, "If you want one, your choices are: Theriches, Garaleph, Erophe, Deramestes, Abyss, Byron, Oberyne, Jilla, Chrysa, Memetete, Farla, and Stalla. Each are represent the twelve main species of Valenth, and are two-hundred kruss a piece."

"Mirajin is litteraly the element of dreams. It is made from and around dreams and concepts," the creature said, "The only two ways to safely handle it is to do so in a dream, or to use the skin of a leupak to protect you."
