Year 983 July 25

I woke up feeling very warm, more so than I like, with three around me, I had to let my misty breath out on myself, cooling down my body quickly, I see the others shiver a bit at the cold mist, so I stop producing it.

Now I feel less like a melting popsicle, this summer is hot, but having two ponies and a big wolf using me as an ice pack makes it a lot less bearable, not that I mind them, but I want to jump into ice water to cool down right now... That's the first thing I'll do once I get home, a super cooled tub of water, then I'll jump in and let it freeze around me!

Smirking at the idea, I slowly and carefully slide down from the cuddle pile and gently lift the pegasus sleeping on top of me, keeping her level so she doesn't notice I'm getting out of bed, then once I am fully extracted from underneath and in between the three, I lower her in the middle to take my place, the bed creaks a little bit as I climb out on all fours, but they are sound asleep.

Finally out of the bed and successful in my sneaky escape, open the door quietly and go out, closing it behind me, only to find that the griffons here don't seem to have naps, as everyone else is sitting on the kitchen/living room and having some tea.

As I approach them, I give them a nod and a soft. "Good evening everyone."

"I've heard a great deal about what you did here, young'un, Treble has told me, I ought to thank ye, for your help around town, you brought an old and bitter bird something I haven't felt ever since this stupid senseless war started, hope." Grandpa Gruff said in a soft tone, mindful of the ones sleeping in the next room.

I decided to sit next to him and continuing the conversation.
"That's what I am here to do, don't get me wrong, I have my own motives and I like bits as much as the next dragon, but if we really want to earn bits, we need to help the nation transform and prosper first, and for that we need education first." I may not be an expert but from what every developed nation has back on Earth, this is a good first step, education for the griffons, giving them a starting point, because here most things are taught by their parents, no griffon goes to school and they usually follow in their families steps.

"And from education we can get many wonderful things, like technological innovation and science, arts, medicine and of course, magical research! The magic that suits your species better which i assume is wind and storm magic." I theorized, I didn't know much about griffons after all.

"I am not aware of any griffons who can use magic, not more than cloud and weather manipulation, but maybe we are missing something, like we were missing our old relic, another mystery for you young'uns to solve. Now would you like some green tea? Sable made extra and it's still warm." A mystery indeed, if I figure out how to transform myself into a griffon in the future I could certainly give that some thought, I am really sure it's possible, old Boreas himself said he knew and used magic as well as his greatsword after all, isn't that right, oh mighty one?

'You're begging for me to tell others about your embarrassing secret, stop calling me old!' I quieted my thoughts right away thinking of a way out of that.

Wait no, please mister Boreas? You aren't old! You're a young, and heroic griffon who is very talented and strong!

'Much better kiddo, and don't forget it.'

No fair... you said you wouldn't bring that up anymore! Please? What would make you drop that?

'Chin up Onyx, I'm just messing with you!
I am an old bird, even older than Faust, for only a few years mind you! But I'm not gonna tell anyone you dummy, do you always worry so much? You know everyone checks everyone out? It's normal, most creatures in this world go around naked at all times, and it's the most normal thing to check, it says a lot about who you're looking at, like health, hygiene and for adults there's more reasons...'

Oh yeah, I can guess.

'I'm sure by the time you're sixteen you would have done so much more embarrassing things that you would probably think you were an idiot for worrying about me revealing to others that you were taking glances at a statue's "details". You're so easy to tease though, it's funny!'

Dude... Fine, I guess you're right, I shouldn't worry so much, no one would probably care, I'm pretty sure it's normal, yes.

Soon I'll be out of Griffonstone and away from you for a long while, but I'll miss you... in a way I feel we became friends, at least good acquaintances, yes? Well whatever you wanna call it, you're cool.

'Oh, I thought it was obvious, we are friends!
Not super close friends but we shared our stories and we had fun and laughed together, I can happily said you're fun and entertaining to watch, and you're not a pushover, not that I thought you were weak at any point, but after what you did to those griffons and the Pale Spiders?'

They had it coming, the invaders more than the spiders.

'Well you definitively have a bit more of my respect, if what they had done to you, was done to me back when I was on your realm, I would not even have shown them any mercy, I would have slain them on the spot, but you're against killing, aren't you? You have a lot of compassion even those you wanted to get revenge on.'

I guess... Don't feel quite ready to kill, you know? I'd rather not see their dead eyes when I go to sleep, and I don't want nightmares haunting me every night, or regretting it later, I'm too young for that. On top of everything else I've been through.

'Fair enough Onyx, now you should probably answer him, I think you've spaced out for a few minutes while we talked.'

I blinked and brought my mind back to reality, Gruff was looking quite worried at my lack of an answer, I nodded to him.

"O-oh sorry! I got lost in thought.
Yes please, don't worry if it's cold, I much prefer cold tea and beverages, in fact I hope you don't mind if I cool it down fully. Oh sorry for spacing out, I swear I'm fine." I give him an apologetic smile, he nods and shrugs.

"If ya say so, come on Sable, serve the young drake a cup, please?"

"Oh no need, I'll do it myself, just put the cup where I can see it, I am not a hatchling anymore I can serve my own tea." I answer before she can do anything, then she leaves the cup on the table and the kettle still was on the stove, I just float it over to my claw and pour carefully on the cup, filling it with green tea.

"Smells delicious, now... To fully cool this down, you know I like refreshing beverages the most? This will do nicely." I grab a spoon from the table and start to stir the tea, while gently blowing on it, a steady stream of cold misty air going right into the cup, and while mixing I cool the mixture completely in a few seconds.

I could have used prestidigitation, but I like using my own body sometimes, it's like the difference between running and using a motorbike, I like giving my third lung something to do, the precise control used for this is a good way to train my ice breath so that I can control it better in the future.

Once the tea was near freezing, I took a sip, finding it perfectly cold, Its perfect!

The only way this would be better is with extra ice, it didn't last more than a minute, and I was out of tea, I set the cup down gently and closed my eyes, enjoying the cold going down into my belly, cooling my body from inside pleasantly.

I think I will be going back to Canterlot sooner than I thought I would, I just want to be home and relax after this debacle, gosh I miss my bathtub.

"Thank you for the tea, and thank you for letting us stay in your home, I greatly appreciate all you, and I mean all of you, have done for me and my family during our time here, I bet in that tavern I wouldn't have made such wonderful friends, Sable, Treble and Gilda, and even you Mr Gruff, we gotta meet again, maybe next time we invite you to our home, what do you say?" I felt truly glad to have met them, and yes it would be awesome if they met my friends too! I couldn't wait for our next sleepover.

Mr. Gruff chuckled with a smile, coughing a little after, probably had a dry beak or something.
"We may take you up on that offer, I haven't been outside Griffonstone much myself and I'm sure this three would love to see another city, but traveling ain't cheap, although maybe our fortune will finally change."

"I can take you to visit whenever you want, it takes very little to teleport back home and half my magic to get here, and if you want me to be able to return here, I will need an object front this house, something that is significant, like a piece of the wall or a bit of dirt from the backyard, out it in a small glass jar and label it, I did the same with all the other spots." This would allow me to travel directly without having to make a teleportation circle, the circle would be better, it would cost much less but with my robes and the distance the difference was not that severe.

"Oh, right you are! I'll get it ready for ya right away, meanwhile I have ta ask, if we travel to your home, is there enough room fer all of us?" I'm pretty sure there is room, there is just not enough beds, at least not unless many would share a bed, including myself, but we could always just get more beds for the third floor where the teleportation circle was, sure it was usually used for training but as long as the area around the teleportation circle was clear, the room could be used.

"Good question gramps, we have room but we don't have beds, but I can get you set up in a room, you and Treble could sleep on the third floor while the girls sleep in my room, you would need to share a bed there though. I could get an extra mattress but it will be small because my room ain't that big... Don't you worry, we will find a solution! I have some ideas, you'll see when you go."

Treble and the other younger griffons looked very excited at the prospect of going, Grandpa Gruff was more neutral about it, probably just wanted the kids to have a much needed change of perspective, and I could fully agree with him, visiting new places is fun.

"Don't worry about me, I can sleep anywhere! I just want to go!" Treble said excitedly, while the others agreed with a nod.

"Whoa calm down, I don't think you can go for now, now you have responsibilities back home, when we are free I'll send a letter, still you can send letters to us too, do you have anywhere to write? I'll write down my address, it's good that you speak the same language as ponies here, makes it all much simpler."

Two hours later

After giving my address to the old bird, we spent a while longer talking before my parents and Thunder finally woke up, they had another batch of tea done, before they went back to the room to pack their bags, Thunder had very little items that she had someone retrieve from her tent, so it took almost no time to add it to dad's bag.

With our bags packed and ready, my parents insisted that they want us to be back in Canterlot tonight, and tomorrow morning they want to travel to Ponyville, of course to get the twins back with us, we all missed them by now, specially mom.

Thunder was along for the ride as well, she insisted she wasn't interested in going back to Trottingham as a Commander, because she realized everything she did, the ponies who were with her departed back with the griffons, reluctant but they didn't want to have to find their own way back home, and they knew the griffons would at least keep them safer than walking to the port and finding their own boats.

Griffonstone was kind enough to return part of the supplies for the soldiers and Trottingham's ponies to eat during their 2 day trip back to their island, this helped soften the blow of what I did during negotiations considerably, also the fact that the deal was sweetened by Treble and Steelwing agreeing to recognize The Isles as a separate, new nation as long as reparations were paid.

Thunder was still in trial mode, she needed to prove her loyalty to our family before she was let in our secrets and given full trust, but she definitively was doing things right by showing kindness to us and opening up about herself, turns out she's 28, her parents and sister live in Trottingham, and of course she was a Commander of the Trottingham Armed forces, second division, that being the aerial combat unit, in which she specializes in, I was curious to know what she could do in the air, but now wasn't the time for demonstrations.

It was time to go home, I hope I don't come to regret trusting this pegasus, only time will tell I guess.

Now everything was packed and ready, our inventory full almost to the brim with loot, I feel like I could open a museum by now with armors showcasing many different historical periods, but I felt like I would get in trouble for that.

We said our goodbyes, griffons weren't usually as touchy as ponies but I was surprised when even Grandpa Gruff gave me a farewell hug, sure it was brief with a pat on the back, but it was appreciated, I hugged him back. "Take care grandpa, you have made our stay here a much nicer one, thanks."

"Then ya better come back to visit once in a while." I nodded at that, we shared a small smile.

Dad had to return the armor modified for him in case he needed to fight, because he never ended up using it with our final plan, the armor was not very comfy either way because he was a pony, so it was a good thing he didn't have to wear it to battle, the padding was a bit too tight for his bulkier frame.

"We will keep in touch! Remember to send us mail! We'll do the same, bye bye now!" Mom said with a polite nod, while the rest of us waved, giving our own farewells, we were already surrounded by the energies of the spell, then it completed the process and we changed locations, leaving behind glowing motes of indigo magic floating in the air.

The air was different back home, the pressure too, I felt my ears pop slightly at the higher pressure, but that went away almost instantly, this was not much of a bother the rest of us, but Thunder Flash on the other hand, she was...

Uh oh.

I quickly lifted her up and gently carried her away from the teleportation circle before she could barf over it, it would have probably disrupted the spell, or the cleanup would have, wasting a month of work.

She emptied her stomach not soon after, over the wooden floor, luckily we hadn't had dinner yet.

I gently rubbed her back, whispering reassuring words on her ear while holding her from the side, she was fine now, probably only a bit dizzy after that, the worst of it had passed, teleporting the first time was really disoriented and caused a strong sense of nausea, I was lucky it wasn't that much for me.

"Agh, that's nasty, I feel so gross! Can you take me to the bathroom? I need to rinse my mouth right now and take a shower." She said in a disgusted tone, making a disgusted face.

"Sorry, I should have warned you but the effects would have been the same, the first time teleporting is rough, specially such long distances and different altitudes and air pressures, it messes with your senses if you let it, now come on, here's the bathroom." I comment in a gentle tone while walking down, turning the lights on as I go, for its night and it's very dark in here.

This time I hadn't forgotten to turn off the lights before going on vacation! Even if we don't have an electricity bill, and all lights can be recharged by magic from an unicorn, mom and myself could too, and others who could channel magic directly.

I guided her down the stairs, and into the first floor's bathroom.

"And here we are! This is the main bathroom, on the first floor, the second floor has more bathrooms but those are private for every room's owner, get comfortable and feel at home, you can shower too! There are towels for you to use.
I'm sure you wanna get that sick out of your mane, and all that sweat, I know ponies do sweat, unlike me and mom." She nodded quickly, not really wanting conversation at the time, I looked apologetic and closed the door, leaving the bathroom.

My parents came to the first floor too, looking at the bathroom's door, then at me. "Good job guiding her here, don't worry about the third floor's mess, I cleaned it up with a spell and it's all pristine now, how about all of us go take a shower? I mean... You go to your room and we bathe with Thunder in the jacuzzi." Dad offered with a pleading look my way, and I quickly agreed. I should let them get to know each other, and the jacuzzi was quite wonderful, honestly in here we were at the same level of comfort that they had at Canterlot Castle, our bathroom was just much smaller, but that was fine for now.

I would have complained about not being able to join the jacuzzi but to be honest? Warm water wasn't to my liking, bubbles felt fine sure, but I really need to cool down my core temperature to feel better, it's not that I'm in danger or anything but I could be colder.

"Yes that sounds very much like an idea, see you later! I'll take my time now that I can, I need a refreshing cold shower." I didn't bother to take off my clothes for now, this robes were just amazing, they would just not get wet or dirty and they held no smell at all, the enchantments on them were flawless, that Starswirl guy really knew his stuff, or maybe this were not that difficult to make once you knew how to, but sadly that information wasn't passed down to me, maybe they were not that easy to replicate.

What matters is that my robes that I used to reduce the cost of spells by half, didn't get dirty with use, liquids slid right off as if it was hydrophobic.

I walked up to my room and ran into the bathroom, this time unequipping the legendary robes just to have my body get direct access to the water and because I just enjoy being naked in the bath, and turned on the cold water, letting it fill the bathtub.

I waited a few minutes, impatiently tapping on the floor, before putting my claws into the water.
"Frost paw" I whispered, it wasn't really needed, but it made the spell require less thought when casting, during battle it was another story, one would often not say what spell they were using to not give it away, but if it was opportune...

The water near my front paw started to cool and freeze quickly so I moved it around, constantly channeling the simple spell, causing the bathtub to cool faster until I had the consistency of slush ice.

Once that was done I jumped right in, carefully to not slip on the wet tiles and end up breaking anything around me, I felt immense relief once my overly warm body was submerged, I even went as far as to slide my whole head into it, holding my breath.

Glorious cold, how much did I miss you! I could have done this anywhere else but at home? It was more comfortable because I owned the place, kind of. I found do pretty much whatever I wanted here, as long as it followed a strict set of rules, in all honesty rules were just basic common sense, like don't walk around wet on the wooden floors.

There is no spell to fix a ruined wooden floor, at least not with my class of mage.

Maybe as a druid, but I didn't fit all the requirements yet to become one with nature, for one I didn't have a connection to any forest, not more than passing familiarity, my knowledge of plants and animals was basic at best, no connections with any forest spirits either, the only requirement I met was my ability to befriend wild animals quite easily, and my love for the outdoors, I still preferred cities but being out there... It had some charm to it.

Some nice bath thoughts, as I lay at the bottom of the bathtub with my eyes closed.
The book "On Class Change" detailed the steps necessary for becoming a druid, just like any other class, I was interested in a few already, but I was too inexperienced, fighter was the easiest, just learn to fight with a weapon properly, and i was already over halfway there, i was just missing proficiency with longsword or greatsword and at least a ranged weapon, I need to spar with Shining again, I wonder how much he has improved over the last half a year he's been at the academy.

Back to classes, I had looked over other classes too, I wasn't exactly planning on changing my focus now, not while my talent was clearly with magic, but just checking what other classes required could be useful if I wanted to teach my parents or friends, I could help them be the strongest versions of themselves!

Classes like Ranger were very specialized in tracking and survival in the wilderness, not too dissimilar from druid but more focused on non magic based abilities, like actually learning to track using your senses and putting together a mental picture of where the target had been and what happened just from clues in the environment like broken branches or footprints, as well as other things like being an expert bow/crossbow user that were part of the requirements, there is also the tamer subclass, that specializes in controlling many beasts and even monsters found through the world.

An expert tamer could control, depending on their level, animals from small and weak, to large and extremely powerful, ironically mom would fall under that, she is a beast type of creature, of course she is sapient but her kind don't normally speak, maybe thats why the world's magic considers her a type of beast, and why i can use both, the basic Polymorph spell, and my Animal Form skill to change myself into a Black Wolf if I want.

Kari is also considered a magical beast, despite the fact she has no way of using magic, maybe her species is a combination of others, a scorpions stinger, a bat's wings and a lion's body... I guess her species could have been the result of some magical experiment made a long time ago, or the natural magic from the Everfree? Only theories... Anyways I have a little fun plan to try with mom.

I should surprise her by transforming into one of her kind! It's not been a form I used every since showing the spell to Celestia because it's just not very strong, nothing wrong with it but my natural form is stronger in every way, using Polymorph did remove my passive abilities like magic resistance.

Speaking about Celestia, I wonder how she's doing lately, the last time I met her we sort of ended our talk in good terms, and despite how terrible it started I want to think she has trying to improve the way she is, letting go of the bitterness, I hope Cadence can soften her heart too, oh I'm sure it will, she's not the Alicorn of Love for nothing!

I smile warmly at the memory of her, giving me a hug in my birthday, and a small kiss on the cheek, I feel truly lucky she appreciates my friendship.

I miss that filly, I wonder if she and the others want to hang out soon, I have to much to tell them all and they'll be really excited to know, I bet they don't know many griffons, and definitively none of them has gone to Griffonstone ever! I wonder if I could take them there to visit once the city has a bit more amenities.

I interrupted my wandering thoughts to surface and breathe for a few seconds, grabbing the sponge and going under again, scrubbing myself all over, where my fore legs couldn't reach, I used my magic to hold my sponge, I opened my eyes and looked around underwater, the ice around was already mostly melted so nothing poked my peepers, I blew bubbles from my nose, then poked my snout out of the water to breathe, before lowering it back and stayed like that, looking at the water around me, the water was still very cold, colder than my body thankfully.

Thinking back on what Boreas told me, to practice and improve my enchantment skill, why not do that after my shower? I could grab a quick bite to eat and then draw some runes, maybe I could make said food for all of them too, but what? Was there even anything in the fridge after a full week? There were for sure eggs butter and cheese, maybe some frozen veggies I could thaw and chop up.

I have enjoyed myself enough here, as much as I'd love to stay in my little fishtank until I fall asleep underwater I have things to do.

I rise up front the water, pull the plug underneath me and let it drain, then I climb up and stand outside the bath, drying myself with the towel, then hanging it to dry on the rack, before walking out.

Now while at my room I feel tempted to jump into bed, but I don't, and walk back down, heading straight to the kitchen and opening the door, I find that there is enough ingredients to make food for everyone, a few veggies too to have a filling for the omelette other than cheese.

Time to whip up some dinner! First I thaw and cut the veggies using my magic, carrot, bell pepper and onion, and dice them into small cubes, having them prepared with some mushrooms that already were precooked.

I grab a nice and big wok, I turn the stove's magical heating to max and let it heat up fully, then add a splash of olive oil, and pull the wok out of the heat, adding the veggies in right after the oil starts to slightly smoke.

I grab a wooden spoon and start to stir so they don't get burnt, tossing the veggies while I stir, and putting the wok back in the stove, doing a classic stir fry while softly singing to myself.

"In a few weeks I will get time
To realize it's right before my eyes
And I can take it... if it's what I want to do
And I am leaving and this is starting to feel like
It's right before my eyes
And I can taste it
It's myyy sweet beginning 🎵"

I feel my voice grow more confident as I remember the music, and the music flows through my soul, my mind somehow knows the lyrics by memory as I sing, I can even somehow hear the instruments, but I'm sure it's all on my head, yet this has happened before.

I add a splash of soy sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds, then go back to stirring, no magic this time, I'm doing this dish the old fashioned way, like I used to do back at my job when I was a 19 year old human, making chinese food, this isn't exactly chinese food but this... It brings back memories.

I didn't let those sudden memories stop me from singing my heart out loudly now.

"And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alooone
You don't want to be alooone! 🎶
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time!
Yeah, you've known it the whole tiiime."

I see the veggies are cooked enough so I set aside the wok and grab a pan from the rack, adding a splash of olive oil and put it on the fire, and quickly grab a bowl and a fork, taking eggs from the fridge with telekinesis and one by one I break them over the bowl, careful to not add bits of shell, and I start whisking them to fully mix em, along with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.

"Oh Maybe next year I'll have no time
To think about the questions to address
Am I the one to try to stop the fire?
I wouldn't test you
I'm not the best you could have attained
Why try anything?
I will get there
Just remember iii know."

I place down cheese on the pan and let it melt and form a crust, smiling wide as I sing, once the cheese is ready, I pour the eggs on top, almost filling the pan then putting the lid on and let it cook.

I feel the electric guitar playing in my head, crystal clear, as well as the drums and my voice just joins in, loud and clear, I don't care if anyone hears me, hope the neighbors don't mind.

"And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alooone
You don't want to be alooone! 🎶
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole tiiime
Yeah, you've known it the whole tiime 🎵"

I uncover the pan and shake it around to check if it hasn't sticked to it, and it hasn't! Perfect, not only need to place it on a large plate and serve, I grab said plate from afar without moving, and bring it to my claw, where I carefully use it as a lid for the giant omelette I just made.

While I sing, I carefully flip over the pan and catch it on the plate, it falls peeerfectly in the center, and now the beautiful cheese is facing up, making a lovely crust of crunchy toasted cheese.

Suddenly I hear another three voices joining me in song, coming from the side door and the dining room, I recognize them as mom, dad and Thunder, clearly they must have liked my song a lot, I blush as I realize they heard me at least part of it, but I don't stop myself, and we sing the last few lines of the song together, as they come into the kitchen, smiling right back at me.

"And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alooone!
You don't want to be alooone! 🎵
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time 🎶
Yeah, you've known it the whole time!"

We finish the song and the music fades, was it all in my head, right? Yeah... Maybe a check up with a psychologist wouldn't hurt.

"Wooo! That was sweet! Your singing is wonderful Onyx! What was that song? I've never heard it before, but I quite like it!" Coconut cheered and stomped his hoof on the wooden floor, Thunder joined in the pony style applause, mom tried but upon realizing her paws didn't make a noise, she just nodded her head with her usual motherly smile.

I couldn't only blush and rub the back of my neck, unsure what to answer at first. "T-thank you guys, I didn't think you would be out of the shower so soon, I mean I did take my time in the bathtub too but... Well I decided to come make dinner for all of us and that song came to me from my memory."

"It was very nice, do you remember the name?" Asked Thunder this time.

"I think... It's called 'what you know.' But I don't know where I heard it before, sorry miss Thunder." I lied, obviously. Of course it was from my old life, if I ever go back home I'll try to recover my music, if my things are still somewhere, or maybe everything I used to own was sold or thrown away.

Before I could get sad again I focused on the present, dinner!

All in all, I am happy with how the food came out, I put the veggies in another smaller glass plate and head to the table, carrying four sets of cutlery, plates and glasses, as well as a bottle of water from the fridge, all levitated in my tk, while everyone else walks to the table and finds a spot to sit.

"Alright everyone, for dinner today we have a big omelet with cheese crust, and stir fried veggies on the side, hope that you all enjoy, and excuse the simple meal, we don't have much else, may need to go restock at the market tomorrow." I serve everyone a generous portion of veggies and cut the omelet in four equal pieces, serving one to each.

"This looks delicious! Much better than having rations during our trip to Griffonstone, oh I missed home cooking so much... Thank you Onyx! Reallyy~" Thunder said excitedly and clapped her front hooves together while sitting on the chair, giving me a happy smile.

Mom and dad nodded and we dug in with eagerness, even Thunder seemed to have regained her appetite, we didn't take too long to finish, and the food wasn't very filling either, but it was meant to be a quick and simple meal, just enough to not go to sleep hungry.

I decided to go sleep after, as I just don't feel like practicing tonight, it was around midnight and my mind wanted the sleep, who was I to deny my it it's needs? I hugged my parents goodnight and gave both of them a small kiss on the side of their muzzle, and offered one to Thunder who surprisingly agreed, kiss and all. She was growing on me, she is also very very pretty, I approve... Wouldn't mind cuddling with a pegasus more often, I hope that she ends up joining us, her wings are amazing for hugs.

Those are my last thoughts as I slip into the dream realm, I knew I was going to be in that same castle and have peaceful and safe dreams once again, even if I rarely remembered them, I chose to be there, with time I knew I would be able to control more about it, even make my own lucid dream.

Author's Note

Thank you for reading! This chapter is a bit more about character interactions and inner dialogue as they go back, Having a teleportation circle at home really helps.
