The Nomad Chronicles

I am a dragon lying nearly invisible in a forest. Hyu is a dragon walking on his hind legs. He is a dark purple color. I marvel at how realistic the dream looks. I decide to forget it's a dream, and call it, Reality. "This is real life. This is my second life, no my first life."

I grin to myself in my immortal dragon dream body, and ponder the immortal nature of the dream body itself. Hyu is talking to a giantess. It's Yuya. She reminds me of Selene, like they could be sisters or cousins. I put out my foot, and trip them.

Yuya falls into a puddle, and pretends to be upset. Hyu runs to her. "You okay?"

She splashes him and laughs, "Of course I am! It's water silly.

"Oh!" he grins sheepishly.

"You know you are a dragon right now, right?"

"No, I am not."

Yuya bursts out laughing.

Hyu looks at his dragon hands.

"Oh, I am dreaming!"

"No, you're not dreaming Hyu. You're on Teraluna. Dreams are things made up by your mind. This is a real dream. You are an inter-dimensional traveler. We all are, in our dreams. Hey- who's there? Nomad?"

Yuya hears me giggling in the bushes.

I stand up and become visible.

"Oh!" she startles.

Hyu looks at me scrutinizingly, studying the details of my scale. "Yes, I am real!" I shout.

Hyu falls backwards. "You're real! You're another dreamer... Nomad... Nomad... from Earth?"

"Oh, let's not talk about that right now. It's time to battle!"

"No- wait-"

I roar at him and the ground shakes. He instinctively digs his feet into the ground. A fire burns behind his eyes darkly. "That's more like it, DRAGON!" I roar at him again and shoot fire and steam out of my mouth. It scalds him as he charges me through the pain. I hear him thinking, "This is a dream. I feel no pain."


"Hey, that's my line biter!" He bites my in the neck, as he leaps upon me.

"Shit!"

I morph into a cute bunny and run around in the grass.

Aw! He turns into Spyro and starts playing with me.

I turn into a giant monster sheep rabbit, and pick him up, and swallow him.

He explodes a fireball around himself, and I splatter all over the place.

I make myself ethereal.

"Good, good. You are learning."

"Hey come back here, you! Stop acting like a ghost!"

"Oh, it's actually water dragon magic. I'm now made of steam. Anyway, I don't think Yuya is your Dream Guide. I think she's more like an old friend... anyway, since your Dream Guide is being a slack ass, she is stepping into the role. But, I'll be your surrogate DG until your real one shows up, so Yuya and you can just hang out and find out about each other. So, from now on, ask me about dreams. I'll will always be a purple dragon. I hope! Just, uh, don't try to perceive me as Barney, coz that would be annoying. Anyway, I know this will work. Trust me. Even if you don't remember this dream, your dream mind remembers every dream you have ever had. Aloha!"

He nips at me as I fade away.
