Maggie's Adventure in Dreamland

Chapter 7: The Dream Weaver

In the Kingdom of Oneiros, Morpheus led Aroon, Ælsha and Maggie out to the grand royal garden, there were workers clad in white togas tending the flowers and plants, the garden was surrounded by a tall pillared wall with vines and climbing rainbow tipped white roses.

They went to the orchard that has trees with cyan apples, bright pink plums, purplish-blue citrus and other rainbow fruits, at the center of the grove were the herd of pegacorns grazing and eating the fallen fruits from the lush grass

Maggie stared at the winged unicorns in awe, she never dreamed of seeing them before

"Those are the unisus, they are one of my first creations", King Morpheus spoke up,"All of you are to take them on a journey, for the city of Zuurleikis is very far from here", he turns to Aroon and Ælsha,"As Margaret's dream guides, both of you are to continue to protect and keep her safe from the nightmares"

"Yes, Your Majesty", the couple said in unison

"Farewell, safe travels".

After Maggie's dream guides watched the giant elder king leave, they turned around to see the curly haired girl petting the white pegacorn, then they went over to her

"It felt like she chose me", the teenager said as she smiled,"When I came close to her, she bowed her head down"

"Her name is Starlight, I think she knows you're the dreamer. Because of her name, she was born with a star shaped birthmark on her forehead", Aroon said, he looked at the another white pegacorn a few feet away,"The same one over there with the sun shaped birthmark, is Sundrop. He is Starlight's twin brother"

The trio heard a whinny, it was a chestnut brown pegasus stallion coming to greet them, Aroon smiled when he saw him,"Ah, look at you. You've grown since I last ridden you", he said as he walked over and patted the pegasus on its side

"This is Reev, my childhood companion. His name means 'Brave' in my mother's language"

Ælsha went over to Sundrop,"Öllé", she said softly as she stroked his head, he gently muzzled her hand

"Let's gather the food for the pegacorns then we'll be off".

The trio had been flying on the pegacorns through the night sky above the Oneiroi desert, they flew down and landed on the dunes for a rest

Maggie looked around her surroundings while her dream guides were feeding the animals, the stars twinkled brightly and there were glowing colorful rounded stones scattered across the sand

"Lufitúæ sti", the curly haired girl spoke up

"Maggie", Aroon said when he heard her speak Oneiric again, he was about to walk towards her when Ælsha grabbed his arm to stop him, he looked back at his girlfriend with furrowed brows

"Let her be", she calmly said

"She's losing herself, Ælsha. We need to keep reminding Maggie that she's a real person"

"Let her be one of us until we get to your mother. We should call her Gammeia, for now"

He sighed then nodded.

"Gammeia", Ælsha called out as she went over to Maggie

The teenager smiled,"Gniö ew ær erew?", she asked curiously

"You should tell her the truth", Aroon said from behind them

"Révæ Mærer ët tisiíiv öt gniö ær ew, oöy plé öt gniö sés"
