Note: The goal for this night was to discover what is going on with the strange woman MoSh and I followed in a dream last night. She appeared to be looking to find MoSh for some unknown reason. I used my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…
I was in MoSh's inner world. I looked around to see if there was anyone there. MoSh was right next to me. He was closer than I had expected, and I took a step back. MoSh was asking me where I had been. I said this was my first dream of the night… I couldn't have been there any sooner. So… was he ready to go? MoSh said he was ready. I opened a portal to a place near the end of the dream when we followed the woman. A portal opened and we both went through.
On the other side of the portal we were in space, not far from the artificial planet. I saw the comet that was the iczer streaking away from the planet into space. I wasn't completely sure if it wasn't the man on the planet we needed to talk to, but if the iczer got very far away it would be very difficult to track her. The man on the planet didn't seem to be going anywhere. I took hold of MoSh's arm and shot through space using energy flight, following after the iczer.
The iczer flew for some distance without stopping. She finally came to a stop near an asteroid field. She flew more slowly through the asteroids as if looking for something specific. She found an asteroid and blasted it with energy. The asteroid cracked open and there was a shiny mineral inside. The iczer broke off a piece of that mineral and ate it. I thought that was weird. Iczers eat rock? After she had eaten a couple pieces of the asteroid she sealed it back closed and turned towards us. It looked like she had been about to streak off again but she stopped short when she saw MoSh and me floating there looking at her.
"What the FUCK?" the iczer asked as a reaction to seeing us there, "But you're not supposed to be here…" she gave me a dirty look, "And who the hell is she? She's not part of this at all!"
MoSh asked the iczer why she had been looking for him. She gave him a strange look. She asked him what the fuck he thought he was doing, altering the flow of space time? Bringing an outsider with him? She said for all we know I could be one of the enemy… and this wasn't even the proper time, was it? Well maybe… But either way, the outsider would have to go. There was no way she was going to take an enemy back to the hidden world.
"An enemy?" MoSh asked, sounding surprised the iczer was saying that, "She's not an enemy. I can promise you that."
"It doesn't matter," the iczer said, "We don't need any outsiders here." She turned towards me and told me to get the fuck out of there before she decided I was an enemy and blasted me out of there. I couldn't help but laugh a bit, knowing that she wouldn't be able to actually accomplish her threat.
"You aren't getting it," MoSh told the iczer. He said he had only been able to find out she was looking for him and then find her now because I had been helping him. The iczer didn't seem to know what to think of that. She looked a bit puzzled.
"Whatever," she finally said, "Come on. Sensei will want to see you… to determine if you are from the proper location in space-time. Let's go." The iczer grabbed MoSh's arm and streaked off with him into space. I still didn't know what she or that man she had called Sensei wanted with MoSh… I used energy flight and followed after them.
Where they went wasn't really a surprise. It was straight back to the artificial planet. The iczer landed right in front of the man with MoSh. She let go of his arm. He was rubbing his shoulder and I heard him mutter something about ripping his arm off. The iczer apologized and held a glowing hand by his shoulder, and it seemed that was a healing spell. I landed beside MoSh.
"Celeste!" the man said, "You have returned quickly, and I see you have brought… how can that be?" He went back to his holo-computer and looked over several screens of equations and numbers that made no sense to me. He poked around at them for a bit and then finally made a sweep of his hand that cleared all of the holographic monitors around him. The monitors disappeared.
"Sensei," the iczer, apparently named Celeste, said, "I have returned successful."
"I see you have found him," Sensei said, "But the question is did you find him from the proper time phase? And who is this woman you have brought? Have I not told you to show this place to no one other than the one for whom we seek?"
"It would seem she is his transportation," Celeste said, "He said she brought him to me."
Sensei seemed to think about that a bit, and then turned to MoSh. MoSh asked him why they had been looking for him. Sensei said he would answer all of MoSh's questions in due time, but first he needed to know if MoSh was from the proper time phase. He said he could tell by how far MoSh's abilities had developed. He nodded as if agreeing with himself. He said he needed to see MoSh transform into a Naga. He said that was the first transformation stage. MoSh looked at him strangely, and apparently decided to cooperate for now. He changed into a large winged cobra and hissed loudly. Sensei didn't react to being hissed at by a giant snake, he just nodded and said that one was fine… he said there should also be a werewolf form. MoSh changed from a giant cobra to a werewolf. I saw movement and noticed Celeste was hovering off to the side.
Sensei just nodded again and said there should be a dragon form. MoSh changed back to his human self. He hesitated and looked over at me. I remembered that he has changed into a dragon in Nomad's dreams. I wondered if he had ever done it on purpose. I used Unforgiven Too by Metallica and transferred Of Wolf and Man to MoSh really quickly in case he needed it. Sensei repeated that he needed to see the dragon, so please, this is the last form he needed to see. MoSh changed into a large green dragon with shiny scales. Sensei seemed pleased. He said there was a ruby egg hidden with the young of a mother dragon on top of the mountain. He said if the dragon form was developed enough, the mother would accept MoSh as one of her clan and willingly leave the babies under his watch when she went to gather flamestone for the babies. He said if she was not convinced, MoSh should just leave her be and return.
MoSh looked where the man had pointed. He took flight and flew up to the top of the mountain. Celeste hovered in front of me now. She was looking at me suspiciously. She asked exactly what I was. She said she could tell perfectly well I wasn't someone chauffeur. She said she wanted to know the whole story right now. I didn't really like her attitude, but I found I wasn't bothered as much as I might have thought I would be. I told her I am just a friend of MoSh. I was helping him with this dream. Nothing more, nothing less. She eyed me, still suspiciously.
A bit later I heard the beating of wings. MoSh, still a dragon, came back from the mountain and landed. He had the ruby egg. Sensei looked pleased with that. He said that since he hadn't heard a fight, the mother dragon must've accepted MoSh as a member of her clan. He seemed very pleased. He said now he could tell MoSh whatever he wanted to know… but MoSh was the only one he was going to tell. He held one hand out towards me and sent an energy wave at me. It didn't hurt or anything. I heard one word in my head… "Forget." Apparently that wasn't just in my head, as MoSh wasn't pleased. He objected to Sensei that I might be the only one to remember the dream. Sensei laughed. He said he was certain MoSh could remember a dream. He couldn't have gotten this far without remembering his dreams. MoSh repeated that I had helped him. Sensei said that was fine, but he would not take the chance that I was an enemy in disguise and secretly plotting against them. MoSh seemed rather annoyed. He asked how many times he had to say I'm not an enemy.
Sensei said that MoSh had wanted to know why they were looking for him. He said the answer wasn't complicated. He said there is another iczer, one by the name of Nova. He said Nova is the most powerful of the iczers, and has been charged with protecting a dimension that was completely paradise. He said Nova had been the guardian of paradise for millennia. Many millennia. He said normally an iczer will live much longer than that… but something had made Nova age before her time… made her sick. She was becoming weaker and weaker. He said he was sure it was a hostile attack, someone wants to get into paradise and destroy what Nova had worked so hard to protect.
MoSh didn't really seem too pleased. He asked if Sensei was saying they wanted him to defend the dimension, because… Sensei interrupted. He said no, although it was not beyond possibility that an enemy might try to attack Nova in her weakened state. He said the dimension is not MoSh's concern. Only Nova. He said he had already discovered that a hidden power would be uncovered in MoSh, and that power could save Nova, restore her to her full power. At which point Nova would continue protecting that paradise world. He said if they just needed someone to fight, the other iczers could cover for Nova while she recovered… but she wasn't recovering. He said if MoSh preferred, the iczers could assist and the possibility of MoSh having to fight would be reduced to near none.
I noticed Celeste was still floating around and eyeing me suspiciously. I wondered if she expected me to become hostile right there, to attack her, Sensei, or even MoSh. If that was what she was expecting, she would have a long wait… unless they proved themselves to be a threat to MoSh or me… and I didn't sense hostility. Just a bit of paranoia.
Sensei was still talking to MoSh. He said that the power would be revealed soon, but it hadn't been quite yet. He said they have time travel ability, so when the time was right, Celeste would come to get him. Sensei said MoSh would have no need of me to get him to where they needed to go, Celeste could do that. MoSh said he might just prefer to have me there. Sensei hesitated, then finally said he didn't like it, but if MoSh insisted, he would not refuse. But for now I would have to forget… lest their enemies catch wind of who was the one who could revive Nova. He said enemies would be wanting to prevent Nova from being saved. MoSh said that was just what he needed, more enemies. Sensei said not to worry, no one would know. He said that's why everything was to remain secret… so this wouldn't put MoSh in any danger. He said that unless something goes terribly wrong, there would be no enemies seeking MoSh.
Celeste was eyeing me suspiciously. I told her I wasn't going to be telling any enemies about this. I said if the enemies come near MoSh, they're looking to have their asses kicked clear back to the dawn of time. She scoffed and asked if I meant that I was the one who would do that. I said yes, along with the help of some powerful friends. She said their enemies would crush me like a gnat. I usually keep my power level hidden, but now I turned the cloak down. Not off, just down. I charged up some energy in an aura around me. My aura was a mixture of blue and white energy. Witchblade formed armor as if I was getting ready to go into battle. Celeste looked like she had been about to say something else, but now she fell silent. I heard Sensei repeat that I was to forget what I had heard here. MoSh disappeared. Sensei asked where he had gone. I said he had probably woken up. As if that was my cue, now I also woke up.
