Everyone on the DreamSMP had a 'hybrid' animal counterpart that was merged with their DNA. Ranboo the Enderman, and Technoblade the Piglin, to name a couple. To everyone, Dream was the only one without a hybrid. He banned the End so no-one could kill the dragon. A hybrid is easy to spot, as they usually have body parts that correspond to their mob, which cannot be safely removed, though many have tried. Everyone believed that Dream had no mob counterpart, the only one on the server. Ha. If only they knew. -~-~-~- Hallooo, Tak here, welcome to the story! Important info in the first chapter!

Darkstalker gone and prophecy fulfilled, the Jade winglet has to choose what that means for their lives and how to move on. As his friends go back to school or go home, Winter finds himself looking for where he belongs and who he wants to be, without the pressure of his tribe and family weighing on him. An invitation from Queen Glory of the Rainwings draws Winter to the jungle where a series of unexpected events push his limit of understanding and capability. These events push him to trust others, seek healing, and go to great lengths to find answers. Winters journey isn't over and it might just take a bit of love to help him through it. Love that comes in all shapes and sizes, self love, love from friends, love from family, and love from his mate.
