Gate of Dreams

[Eoraptor]

"How long you think before they take action?"

[Astra]

"I'm not sure" Silvia said

[Eoraptor]

"Okay, it just worries me, she called my brother and half breed bastrads and my father a traitor. So it kinda worries me that they might try to hurt us, especially when word gets out about that you expecting," Alkia replied.

[Astra]

"it is possible but we will stay strong" Silvia said

[Eoraptor]

((Ah her son had just told him that someone called him a half breed bastard. Ah wouldn't she be ticked?))

[Astra]

((On the inside yes, but she's learned to stay calm on the outside))

[Eoraptor]

((Okay it's just hard to tell when it's not written.))

"I know, it's just I still remember the day I lost my eye, and I don't want anything like that to happen to any of you," Alkia said his hands unconsciously touching his glass eye.

[Astra]

Silvia knelt down to his level and put her hands on his shoulders "I promise you, that will not happen"

[Eoraptor]

"Mother I'm scared," Alkia said as he he allowed himself to break down and cry in his mother's arms,

[Astra]

"Shh, its okay" Silvia said, holding her son close

[Eoraptor]

"How, can it be," he asked still sobbing,

[Astra]

"trust in the gods. they will make sure everything will be fine" Silvia said

[Eoraptor]

"I know it's just hard," Alkia said as he started to calm down. "Can you sing?"

[Astra]

"I can, for you. what song?" Silvia asked

[Eoraptor]

Here's the song, I was thinking of using you want to use a different one just tel me. https://tomsmith.bandcamp.com/track/a...))

"You know the one you always use to see to me and Sasuke," Alkia replied.

[Eoraptor]

((Astra))

[Astra]

"Hush now, my baby, the daylight is done,
Your scales catching moonlight instead of the sun,
So lay down your head, till the dawn comes anew,
For here there be dragons to watch over you.

Dream now, my baby, of life in the clouds,
Your head held so high and your wings spread so proud,
For I know a secret I promise is true,
Here there be dragons, and one of them's you.

Twelve years, I Grant, was a long time to wait,
But I knew you'd get here, I knew it was fate,
But sometimes a dragon takes longer to birth,
Because, to create them, it takes the whole earth.

Within you the fires of Africa glow,
The East Asian winds, Scandinavian snow,
The mountains, the forests, the rivers, the skies,
The whole of creation is there in your eyes.

Hush now, my baby, and dream how you will,
You have your whole life for your dreams to fulfill,
And don't be afraid of the things you dream of,
For here there be dragons, below and above,
You're a dragon, you're life...
You're a dragon, you're love." Silvia sang softly

[Eoraptor]

"Thank you mother," Alkia said as he allowed himself to completely relax in his mother's arms.

[Astra]

Silvia smiled. "You're welcome, my son"

[Eoraptor]

"Mother, my friend Ben died," Alkia finally admitted.

[Astra]

"I'm so sorry" Silvia said, holding him comfortingly

[Eoraptor]

" couldn't stop him, he was so insistent on fight Lupa and her wolf pack that I couldn't stop him. Then when he dead, I ended up having to turn his daughter into a dragon child, her cocoon is at the pool of healing," Alkia admitted.

[Astra]

"it must be very hard for you" Silvia said

[Eoraptor]

"I know, and the worst part is, that daughter was someone who I saved from becoming a pleasure slave and Ben had just adopted her before he passed. He'd just found someone who he could call family besides me and he barely got a day with her. Now she's going to hatch out of her cocoon soon, and I don't feel ready," Alkia said with a trembling voice.

[Astra]

"I can take care of her until you do feel ready" Silvia said "I'll always be here to help"

[Eoraptor]

"Thank you, but she's my partner and my responsibility, I can't simply send her off to you until I feel ready. We've been bonded as brother and sister and she'll Ned me when she come out. I just need to figure this out and I don't know how to," Alkia replied.

[Astra]

"don't be afraid to ask if you need help. you can't carry the weight of worlds on your shoulders alone" Silvia said

[Eoraptor]

"I know, it just that the dragon children are so short of staff that they keep assigning me mission after mission even though we all know I should be resting and replenishing my fire reserves after my attempt to fight Rai," Alkia said with a tired sigh.

(Can she know about that because with both her son's passed out near death. I think she would've been one of the first to know.)

[Astra]

((right))

Silvia sighed "I know"

[Eoraptor]

"Yeah, I've been going to the pool of healing to help bust it up, but it doesn't last and I don't know how long me or any of the other children can keep this up. At this rate, when Tenderis attacks Soulion, they'll be nothing for some to fight except the gods and an army of sleeping dragons and riders," Alkia said feeling the need to sleep creeping up on him even now.

[Eoraptor]

((Astra))

[Ilsa]

((Here?))

[Benny Boot]

((yee))

[Astra]

"Even now in these dark times there is hope. I know that we will prevail and win this battle against darkness" Silvia said

[Ilsa]

Wren and Kaladin came through the gate. Syl flitted over Kaladin, as if inspecting something around his ears. He was getting annoyed by the little sprite.

[Benny Boot]

Rose was staring at all the beutifulness of where they were until the two big peolpe and Sly showed up. "Where are we?" she looked at them, eyebrow raised.

[Eoraptor]

((Astra))

"Thanks mom," Alkia said as he gave his mother another hug. 'Well I have to go give Damian his lessons. I'll see you at dinner mom." With that he took off into the sunset.

((Charles, Ilsa, Floral, and Jake.))

"Tbis is the gate of dreams, the realm of the god of dreams, where imagination can become reality," Alkia said as he enter tbrough the portal with Jewels and Sasuke in tow as a literal flying pig flew overhead.

[Ilsa]

"Seriously?" Kaladin asked. He thought, hoping for a sandwich.

[Eoraptor]

"Yes," Alkia smiled knowingly.

[Benny Boot]

"Whoa.." She closed her eyes and a small red rose appeared. "I did it!" SHe handed the flower to Alkia and then ran off to go play.

[Eoraptor]

'Good job Rose," Alkia exclaimed with pride as he put the flower in his har beford dashing after the little fox girl.

[Ilsa]

Kaladin didn't get anything. He appeared a bit miffed at first. "How does that even work?"

"I want a bed," Wren offered, as if expecting one to magically appear.

[Eoraptor]

"Just picture it in your minds and it will become reality," Alkia shouted out as he willed a tap dancing penguin into being.

[Benny Boot]

"Here, Miss LAdy." She closed her eyes and thought real hard and a bed appear, a kids sized bed, but a bed. "Oh...I tries.." She shrugs.

[Ilsa]

"This is stupid," Kaladin said, stepping over an ice cream river. "When does it stop?"

[Eoraptor]

'The way out is only a few yards ahead, until then I suggest that you keep your thoughts to yourself lest you anger the god of sleep," Alkia said as be went over to the bed and will it larger. 'There, good job Rose! Will tbat work Wren?"

[Ilsa]

Wren nodded, "But aren't we going somewhere right now?" she asked quietly.

Kaladin snorted, like he didn't believe there was a god of sleep, but remained silent.

[Eoraptor]

"Well then we can just do this until we leave the sleep god's domain," Alkia said as he will the bed to levitate. "Now you can rest until we leave, then we'll get everyone sett.ed at trader's stop."

[Jack the Teleporter]

Sasuke falls from above landing on the ground with a light thump and he Stands up looking around at everyone then shrugs as he puts his hands in his pockets and remained emotionless as he start floating and doing back flip all over the place.

[Ilsa]

"Everyone on, then," Kaladin said, although he was slightly miffed it wasn't working for him. He had a positively glowing imagination! He scooped up Jewel, sliding her onto the floating bed, then Rose. He helped Wren up as well, with a little more dignity. She did have Syl, who could cut his throat.
