A/N: I OWN NOTHING OF DREAMFALL/DREAMFALL CHAPTERS OR STAR WARS REBELS! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEIR CREATORS!
This is based off the game play of Cryaotic and the way he played Dreamfall: Chapters. There are probably multiple ways this could've been written depending on whether you played it yourself or watched another gamer play Dreamfall. But, I watched Cry play it and am using his game play for it. I hope you don't mind and enjoy this story!
Chapter 1: Visions
Ezra slowly stepped along a stone path in the clouds. As he got further, he saw two strange looking creatures that he couldn't recognize or describe well. Next to them on a stone was a black bird. He stopped just in front of them.
"Who are you?" Ezra asked. "What are you?"
"I was Abnaxus of the Venar. He is Oular. Bird is-" the first being, that seemed like a small, older human with a large head and face and walked on a cane, was cut off by the bird.
"I'm Crow," the bird answered.
"You… can talk?" Ezra questioned.
"Yes. Yes, I can talk," the bird, Crow, replied sounding bored.
"Where am I?" Ezra asked.
"Dreamer, Ezra Bridger, you must find the Purple Mountains. Find the Oular. Save the Dream," Abnaxus replied not answering the question.
"Where are the Purple Mountains? Where can I find the Oular? What's the Dream?" Ezra asked. He looked at Crow.
"The bird will show you the way," Abnaxus answered.
"What? To where?" Crow questioned.
"Yeah, he seems real helpful," Ezra stated sarcastically.
"Hey!" Crow cut in. "I'm right here, you know!"
"Find the Purple Mountains. Save the Dream," Abnaxus stated again.
Suddenly, the ground began to crumble beneath Ezra. "Wait, you still haven't answered my questions!" he called. "How do I save the Dream?"
"Find that out with bird, you will," Abnaxus answered vaguely.
"That doesn't-" Ezra was cut off as the ground came out from beneath him and he fell.
. . .
Ezra felt himself land on the floor of his room. "Ugh…" he groaned as he sat up. "Okay, that was weird. Was it a… vision?" He stood up and walked out.
"Finally up?" came Kanan's voice from behind Ezra.
"Uh, yeah. How long was I asleep?" the Padawan asked.
"It's almost time for our morning training," Kanan told him. "It's not like you to sleep that long. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, well… yeah," Ezra tried to evade. "Just… a weird vision-dream thing in my sleep, that's all."
"What do you mean 'vision-dream thing'?" Kanan asked.
"I'm… not exactly sure what it was. I was standing on a rock cliff in the clouds. In front of me was a black bird and these two weird beings that I didn't even recognize," Ezra began. "The first being was like a small, weird looking man with a cane and huge face. The other… it was like a Kowakian monkey-lizard mixed with a cat. The first being called himself Abnaxus of the Venar and called the other thing an Oular. The bird called himself Crow."
"The bird could talk?" Kanan questioned.
"Believe me, I didn't think it were possible either," Ezra replied. "After that, Abnaxus kept saying to find the Purple Mountains, find the Oular, and save the Dream."
"The Dream?" Kanan repeated obviously confused. "What's the Dream?"
"I'm not sure. After that, all he said before repeating everything like a broken protocol droid was that Crow would help me," Ezra replied. "Like I said, after that was said, it was just repetition and then I woke up. It felt like a vision, but it wasn't like one I've had before. Is it possible that Abnaxus was trying to send a message or something?"
"I'm not sure, Ezra," Kanan responded. "I've never experienced something like that. We can meditate on it later. For now, let's get to training." Ezra nodded and followed his master out.
Zeb and Sabine were shooting at Ezra as he deflected the blasts. Kanan was watching off to the side, giving pointers here and there, though the Jedi had to admit that his apprentice had improved significantly since he had first began training the boy.
Slowly, Ezra felt something beginning to rise within him. He closed his eyes behind his helmet's mask. Suddenly, he began to feel distant and then his mind went dark.
. . .
Kanan and they others were shocked when Ezra suddenly vanished completely except for his helmet which just fell to the ground.
"Ezra!" Kanan called.
"What… just happened?" Zeb asked.
"No idea," Sabine answered. "He just…" She looked at Kanan. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Unless the Empire has come up with something capable of taking Ezra like that, I have none," the Jedi answered. "I don't like this, thought." He then thought, 'Could this have to do with Ezra's weird vision?'
