I stood on the cylindrical platform again.
This time, the room was brown. The left wall didn't have any symbols like before. While the right wall had the "connect the bright dots" that formed a bent line.
"What are the dots for?" I asked the animal in front of me.
They had a snout, whiskers, paws and long big bended animal feet. The hair on the sides of their face were longer. They had brownish red fur with black spots all over their body and they wore a white sleeveless dress that reached just above their knee.
They stood on two legs, tall enough to reach my waist. Their back hunched a little and their legs wobbled every now and then. They stared at me with big cat eyes that glowed yellow, looking firm and intelligent. The cat ears above their head was furry and had longer hair on the tips. It twitched - probably hearing things far away.
But they didn't scare me. Their aura was calm and familiar.
They followed my gaze to the wall.
"That's my constellation." They said. "You, um, Celestia made it and then a room pops out just like this one. The Astrums, beings of light, are created with it."
I still couldn't grasp that information.
"Last time, I was with Aries?" I said and they nodded.
"But now?"
Their eyes dropped down to their paws.
"I'm Lynx." They said. "I thought you'd be able to recognize me better in this form."
Then, a light appeared on her head and went down to change the rest of her body into a human girl.
Her fur was gone revealing brown skin. Her hair was very short and messy, the same color as her fur but without the spots. She had yellow irises now.
She became taller than me, looking like she was in her 20s but her body glowed faintly. It made me think that she was a ghost.
"That form was a Lynx that I just forced to stand like you." She rubbed her arms, forcing a smile. "You used to tell me not to do that."
I furrowed my brows. "This is a dream, right? Why does it feel so real?"
She breathed out calmly but when she explained, her tone was sad.
"When you dream, you could be travelling through dimensions or making up your own reality in your head. The second can only be done when Astrums manipulate the dream or the being can "lucid dream", as you humans call it."
I stared at the doorway, staying alert if someone comes in to shoot at Lynx.
