Dreamtime

"Now that you have made up your mind, I will explain why we need to do this the first time."

They listen to her attentively. Why is such a risk necessary is a primary question in both of their minds, no matter what they have already decided.

"For the first time, we will call another druid from the Emerald Dream.

That is why I want you to try this, to step over the edge, Idekus.

Not too far, however. A little bit should be enough for him to hear your calling.

I asked permission to your Sensei, still. He is responsible for your safety after all, as I am.

That means that we should have to explain to him about One for All and the strange connection with your magic. He has to trust us, if I have to introduce him to this peculiar friend of mine.

We have to speak with Aizawa."

"No, we can't afford that now! Please Mistarin Sensei... we don't have enough time."

Izuku begs, because his trainer's tone was quite definitive.

But they can't. Aizawa is... not ready. And he has had a lot on his mind lately. They have seen that.

Katsuki knows that too: "There's no point in telling him now. It would only bring misunderstanding. Everyone is already preparing to attack the two main bases that Hawk was able to deliver informations about. There will be time after that for the explanations. And hopefully there will be understanding."

Mistarin looks at the two of them.

"Fine. We won't tell Aizawa about One for All, for now. But we need this ally anyway.

We need this druid from the other side. He can help you with your development, Idekus.

He can help you become what you should have been."

'What he should...?' Katsuki is not sure if he understands fully.

Izuku's eyes widen. How? What could this druid do that Mistarin Sensei can't?

"However." She continues, and her tone goes darker.

"This could be dangerous for you Idekus. You both know that already, it's not safe for you to travel that far over the dream horizon. And your mother can't do it. it is your decision, in the end. You know the price."

Izuku looks at her seriously.

He has to step over the edge to be able to trace the path for this druid... Will Kacchan be able to make himself that visible, this early in their training?

Katsuki is scared too. Will Izuku be able to find his way back if something goes wrong?

"It's better if we don't think too much about this. Kacchan, look at me."

Let's do it. I believe in you, Kacchan.

I... fine.

Katsuki looks at him, seeing that determined expression he has grown so fond of.

He looks back at Mistarin. "So... how do we do this?"

"Oh! don't worry! I will help you, and we will be in contact all the time. Mistarin Sensei will be watching over us from here. She will keep the communication open too. What is the name of this druid, Sensei?" Izuku tries to put him at ease while they prepare.

Mistarin goes in a lotus position near them as she answers. "Ogaleesha Mistdream"

He transforms, standing beside Katsuki, but this time he doesn't sit down, nor asks Katsuki to do so.
