Back in her own room, Aurelia fell asleep, dreaming of a vivid forest paradise. A gentle stream glittered in the bright sun, trees swaying in the breeze along with flower petals and dandelion seeds.
As she marvelled at the vibrancy of this world, the mage Daro Drei stepped out from behind a tree. "Welcome to my Dreamscape."
"Oh! Daro, you're doing this?"
The faun smiled. "Yes." With a slight tilt of her head, she asked, "Have you dreamwalked before?"
"Dreamwalking? No." She gasped as something soft bumped against her leg. An adorable little fawn sniffed at the grass around her feet. "Oh who is this cutie?"
Daro's dark green eyes took on a shadow of grief despite her gentle smile. "That is a reflection of the spirit of Decklyn, my little sister."
"Oh... I see. Hello Decklyn." Glancing across the stream, a brilliant, gleaming white form captured her attention as it stepped out of a grove of trees. "Ah, a stag!"
It's antlers were gold, fur pure white. The very air around it seemed to shimmer as it drank from the stream.
Daro nodded, inclining her head respectfully. "The Forest Defender. Tell me, do you like going out into the forests of Earth?"
"Yes. I've always loved plants & nature. I had planned on filling my gran's house with all kinds of plants," she said with a tinge of sadness.
The faun's expression brightened. "Wonderful! I am glad to have brought you here, lovely~"
Her soft voice faded with the scenery until Aurelia's dreams returned to her own mind.
