Aroon, Maggie and Ælsha were standing outside on a high platform, there weren't any people around, it was empty

"Where is everyone?", the teenager asked while she looked around

"This area is where it takes you straight to the king's castle. The Oneirians don't come here very often, they only go to the palace for royal events", Ælsha said

"Have you been to the palace before?"

"No, I have not. But, When me and Darda used to visit Somnium, we rode on the sea turtle and I showed her the palace in the clouds. I told Darda that's where the King lived, she was very elated", She said while she smiled at the memory

"That's so nice", Maggie looked over at Aroon,"What about you?"

"Me and my mother would go there on special occasions, she's a close friend of Morpheus and he would send us out for important errands", he said

Suddenly, they all heard the call of a whale, the trio looked over to see it come closer

The giant blue whale has an intricate metal roofless cart strapped on top of its body, the teenager gasped when she saw it, she was in awe as it came beside the platform

"Yooo!. Draäaöbá émöclé!", the male voice called out, he went over to the stairway to reveal himself.

The Pilot looked like an african american man, his right eye was glazed over, he was wearing a black captain uniform and he grinned as goes down the steps of the stairs, Maggie noticed he had a few golden teeth

"Oöy fó eëeth ët súj, e?", the Pilot asked in a thick accent

"Sey", Aroon said

"Sælp, stékit roöy ëvaäah ii yaäam?"

The three circular yellow paper tickets with garbled up words appeared in his hand then he gave it to the Pilot who began to punch the holes then went back up the steps while Ælsha and the curly haired girl followed them from behind to the cart on top of the whale.

"Dëdæh llaäa oöy ær eréw?", the Pilot asked again, he turned to the trio

"Écala fó Nik Morpheus ët öt gniö ær ew", Ælsha said

He was surprised,"Nik ët?. Yicnégreme na röf sti, ssélnu. Öga thöm á denéppah ylno niér sih fó nöitabélé ët, Ssiím, Yirrös mii"

"Sediüg réh ær ew aäa Rémærer ët sés, Maggie si emaäan réh, sü tiw lrí siíit thüörb ew. Elbissöp sá noös sá écala ët ta éb öt deëen ew, mih möf plé fó deëen ni si Maggie aäa Nik ët röf eggasém tnégrü na ëvaäah ew", Aroon spoke in a serious tone

While he was talking, Maggie looked over at her dream guide,

"What is Aroon saying?", she asked her

"He's telling the pilot that you are the Dreamer and we needed help from King Morpheus right away"

"Wait, I thought we're not allowed to reveal that I'm the Dreamer to the people here?", the teenager furrowed her brows in confusion

"In this case, It's very important to tell him this", she said calmly

"Rémærer?", the Pilot stared at the curly haired girl in a lavender dress in shock and wonder, he then noticed a black line fading in and out around her neck, his face turned expressionless and nodded in determination then briskly walked over to the metal steering wheel,"Yooo!. Ö ew écala Snik ët öt ffe!", he yelled out as he turned the wheel to the left, the whale called in response as it flew away from the platform of the train station.
