"Even if my writer's block is hindering me, I'll never stop. Until I find a new inspiration.

I'll keep trying to write"

In the land of dreams, I hope.

I pray that no person is as unfortunate as I.

I was caught stowing away on a flying dragon.

I met my hope.

Soon after,I awoke from the land of dreams to the land of real.

My hope is real, my dreams... I will make a reality.

My best friend, my sword and I will help with the resistance.

And, there will be no more casualties.

I've lost friends, great friends. Dymlos has lost more friends and family than I can ever begin to imagine.

We mustn't make time repeat itself again.

I remind myself every day that Dymlos had to leave for the greater good.

But, it does little to console me.

Dymlos was the big brother that I never had.

He was there for me through thick and thin.

I saw what he looked like once.

He looked like me except with blue hair.

But how can it be?

Am I just a reincarnation of his body?

I asked him...

"No," He said "You are yourself and I am myself. You are Stahn Aileron and I am Dymlos..."

I asked him what his last name was.

And guess what he said?

He said "You can call me an Airhead, I guess?"

I actually didn't know what he was talking about then.

And, he said "You really are as dumb as I thought that you were? As sad as it is to say,

we Ailerons are always a bit lacking in intelligence..."

I was floored when he said that.

My best friend is very possibly one of my ancestors...

"I wish that Rutee was here," I said.

"So do I," Dymlos said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because my Atwight's with her..." He replied with a wistful look on his face.

" 'Your' Atwight? Are you two married or something?" I asked.

"Yes... I just wish that I had my own body back... I want to hold her, to kiss her... I don't know

why we had to be the chosen ones... But, I don't regret it now." He replied.

I hope...

I hope that Dymlos' wish was granted.

I hope that I will see him again...

My "big brother," my best friend, my companion, Dymlos Aileron.

I will miss you.

But, I'll never forget you,

Stahn Aileron

I have a plot bunny that is desperately trying to come out. All the swordians getting their bodies back.
