~~your p.o.v, a few weeks later~~
I was walking around town with Mabel, we were about to go to the Greasy Diner to get some pancakes. We had just walked in, and Lazy Susan had just gotten us a table and taken our order. Mabel and I were talking about random things - and the subject some how got to a dream she had last night.

"And then, a HUGE BIRD came out of nowhere and ate the puppy! I shot my grappling hook right through it, and it turned out the bird was a piñata! It's guts were made of red twizzlers and lollipops! I ate a lollipop, and I woke up to see that the goat was eating my sweater again! It was the best dream I had in like forever!" She exclaimed. I didn't give a shit, so I was looking out a window. "And that was the dream I had about Grunkle Stan." She finished. I shuddered at the thought that she dreamt about that cheapskate.

"Weird." Someone says behind us. I turn around and see Dipper standing there with a bag full of books.

"Hey, DipDop." I say. "Whatcha got there?"

"Oh, just some books from the library. More stuff about crazy things in Gravity Falls." He says, shrugging.

"Dude, you already know every single thing that happens in this town. What more do you need to know?" I ask. He lays out a map on the table, pushing our plates away.

"Well, there is this new creature in Gravity Falls and I'm trying to figure out what it is." He says, showing us some grainy photos. I look at them closely. My eyes widen.

"That's not any ol' creature, DipDop." I say. "That's Enenra."

"Enenra?" Mabel asks. I take out a picture from my pocket:

And show them. Dipper picks it up and inspects it.

"Where'd you get such a good photo?" He asks.

"It's not mine. It's my great grandmother's. I've preserved it. It's got a few creases, but it's durable." I say.

"Ok where'd your great grandma get it?" He asks.

"I don't know. She gave the photo to my mom on her deathbed, saying to keep good care of it." I say. "My mom gave it to me when I started liking mythology."

"You mean this thing mythological like a unicorn??" Mabel asks.

"Not exactly. The Enenra is from the Japanese mythology. It's a formless creature of smoke and shadow. It resides from bonfires, then takes form of a human, but you can see through it. It's transparent." I explain. "But it can only be seen by the pure of heart. And let me tell ya - I am not pure of heart. You've seen the fights I've been in at the biker joint."

"The most pure of heart in this entire town is Mabel." Dipper says. "And that's saying something."

"Yeah, especially what you went through when you were 12." I say.

"But I'm still pure of heart! Just lead my to the Enrara or whatever and let me see it!" Mabel says.

"Mabel, it's Enenra." Dipper says.

"But...." I start.

"Who's up for an adventure?"
