In my dreams
I can hear you calling me.
In the night,
everything's so sweet.
In your eyes
I feel there's so much inside..

The next evening

The work wasn't so fact he had to carry on the work from yesterday was a lot to do. But the dream gate had to be presentable and well really know, can't run the risk of anyone getting hurt with these trees and that gaping hole of a wind tunnel causing problems.
Wise rubbed one of hes hands against hes forehead,of course it was clear this was taking a lot more then planned. But if it insures everyone's safety then so be it.

Through lifting another piece of one of the damaged tree, which because of the blast from the tunnel managed too snap it in half,Wise got three of hes hands underneath the bottom side too then left it a little above hes height.A little stumble but the tree was cleared ,stacked with much more of the other damaged trees.

He'll see about replacing them once the tunnels sorted of huffing and puffing made it clear to the male he needed rest for the time 't push himself too hes limits know over wise who else will take care of Nightopia in hes spot the way he does if hes out of commission?
The heap of his body mass leaned against one of the cleared trees,away from the tunnel. But Wise had too admit that the breeze from it was nice and knowing himself he'd be back too work without a proper rest , getting away for a stroll should help ease him out. Probably for the best.

Steadying his pace Wise took to walking about the dream gate studying it in all its was a beautiful place , covered in nature and stone carved in manners of shapes that the finest delicate of details befall into those shapes,working with them. From scanting his sights over every fine detail, bringing about a smile to hes face,seeing the result of much hard work from himself and Nightopia crafting the dream gate.A easier access point for the sake of The Visitors and the opportunity to meet and greet them into their make believes worlds of dreams. But at last,greeting was of course was down to her doing her part their,not him.

That was when wise took to a stop,one of the dreamers doors was there.A sign that a visitor's sleepy head was tucked up in bed and arrived too Nightopia. The case that they weren't here most likely meant that they had been greeted and taken through all She wouldn't miss it in the world too welcome every little visitor that its what followed that truly earned her her like he would miss it for the Whole of the Night world.
Wise found him self taking the same entrance as the visitor to greet Nightopia in all its glory and a second moment too take it all in one go the melody's started to hit hes ear, ah she has already started.
following the trail of the soft and vibrate tunes brought halting in his tracks.

One of the best things to see in and about Nightopia,was the dream was one of the magics born which was a must too add too your list of what you've seen in Nightopia as a visitor.A Show that only had one member and too which was his only friend Selph.

Right now she was accompanied by a female visitor,resting on the soft grass with many nightopian's around her,even one settled into her lap. Entranced by Selph's music,her dream was just so much she could achieve with that small dream flute of hers,catching even all the notes right and every emotion too ride with the sun and the moon back.
That was one of the things that made her special too,a key part too Nightopia. After all she was gifted with the role to interact with every visitor at the dream gate and as well help them about nightopia.
The way she shows kindness in her movements and the hand she leads to them or anyone...even too a being with a sight such as himself.

Before he knew it he heard the cheer of hand on applause too a truly great performance,even though he wasn't here for the start of kept stood where he was,out of worry of frightening the
Nightopian's and giving the visitor the wrong idea,with the fact its happened so many times before.
that was till Selph intertwined though.
Wise's sight blinked,with a little rattle on the hornets nest from Selph.

"hello their wizey~"The women had a smile on her face,happy to see her friend at her little performance.
It was made clear she made the visitor go on ahead and play with the nightopian's,with the few scared glances from the remaining ones their.
"ah-Selph how many times have i told you not too do that."Wise settled and retired back too hes calm and collected self.
"hmm do what?you know this is how i normally greet you."
"yes,yes i know that's how you choose to greet me. Just give a formal warning before hand too be clear its Wise."he gave a little grunt towards the whole fact the women choose to give him such a childish nickname.
"heh heh. Sorry wizey. But you know what i'm like after a show."she floated in the air too do a little flatter around him before resting her feet onto the ground.

Selph was really something though she has her dream flute and her role of guardian Visitors around here,that's not all she women even takes it into her hands to provide the best for the visitor,using her gem of reflection.A gem she normally made reflect them right back in the manner that their
perfect the way they should never change for was well loved by all,the visitors and ever little Nightopian...but she had to be friends with someone like me...

"hey wise,like to head too are spot?I'm sure the visitor will be fine with the Nightopian's. After all i can tell shes
one of those early birds."she shared a soft smile too the male,receiving a nod from up one of
hes hands with permission they head off back too the dream gate.

At the dream gate their was this art just beyond the doors.A spot able to see every star around here with tne
Night sky sticking around for the whole clock.
The two rested on the edge of it,after assembling the stairs it female wiggled her legs back and fourth,too then speak.
"So then have you been?"she turned her head giving a happy look towards him. Her legs knocking
gems she had on her cloak from time to time.
"..I've been a another book has been added to the well i'm still dealing with the
wind tunnel to the right of dream gate."The male proclaimed before silencing .
"ha...that's really nice to hear i'll head over when i'm free too check out your latest works."she
looked off into the distance staring at the stars.

Selph was normally the only being too come too the library when ever he was that was because she accepted everyone and simply wasn't scared of hes appearance. She was a gently being and didn't take no for an answer when she seeked too become wise's friend.
It was quite,obviously Wise had something on mind and Selph came to notice,like shes always done so before.

"hey wizey whats wrong?The nightopian's aren't getting too you again hmm?"Selph had a soft look,obviously you wanted to settle Wise down and calm him out of this state of patted hes broad shoulder with her small looking away till she got an answer.
"...As you said its proven quite hard too get the little ones to come to like i appear more scarier then i thought too them.I guess i'm not goner be able to do anything to change their mi-Selph cutted in,speaking against Wise's words.
"No."she placed a hand onto one of hes many hands."Listen may appear a little scary or the fact
you don't really have a your perfect the way you you can't do much to change but its about that sweet and kindness you have inside you. Even if i'm your only friend wise. I'm happy i meet you and got too know knows,you may be a big part of Nightopian or the fact your work will be noticed."

Even if it couldn't be seen on hes face,wise with how long they knew each other by now,Selph
could make out he was her words had gotten too him and cheered the silly male not good
to think negative like all he proved he was a good friend.
She let go,lifting her legs up to rest on her quite the smile on her face."now Wizey,i want you to

close each eye on your hands and not open them till i say so got it?"
Wise had a bit of a clueless look about him as too Selph was like you'll see when i say he listened
too the women and did just that.
At first he heard a bit of quite able to make out what the women was doing exactly. But he could tell Selph had got something it one of her silly little jokes,the one she normally pulls to cheer up the atmosphere.

Then he heard the words to open hes too be honesty their was a dumb founded look about hes neck was a chain connected too a set of gems. Purified gems rich with colors and the light
reflecting off them from the looked too the woman whom simply shined a grin too him.
"silly its a gift. You've done so much work behind the i say you finally deserve a reward for all your lovely hard work."
she returned her hands to he sides,resting them against the ground waiting for Wise's reaction too the gift.A
male that's never received anything before.

"well...um...hmpft."he quieted for a moment before speaking once again. Placing a hand on the necklace.
"Thank you Selph...this is a wonderful you didn't have to-"Once again the female cut the male
it was one of her bad habits around wise."Now don't start that Wizey~i wanted too since it also
works with your outfit as well heh".

Wise looked at her then turned away,simply happy with the turn of events. Selph truly was a wonderful male guess he should count himself lucky to of been befriend by never seems to see the scary side of things,being one of the bravest Nightopian's around here.
Wise really knew if she was around then he at least be accepted for all hes hard work and now hes doing it
for a good cause.

"...i'll wear it forever Selph..since well i do have to really does work well on me..heh."Finally it seemed the mood had been lifted from Wise's negative feats from early. Selph really could do anything.
Wise knew that as long as she was about,her melody's and the success feeling his work will be perfect.
And nothing could ever stand in hes way to ruin it.
As long as Nightopia was around and their was much for him too 'll have a need to stick about.
With someone their counting on him and cheering him on from the front line.
Even if he himself is like a shadow here.

"Hey Wise,I'm goner head off,Do a little check up to make sure the visitor is having a playful time with the nightopian's."
she floated up and now was in front of gave a little wave to him."call me if you need anything Wizey~"
with that she bid her last farewell and exited into the visitors door.
Wise gave a weak wave from hes hands before returning too gaze upon at the necklace around his glaceing past his lips in a whisper.
"hmpft...You really do look out for everyone don't you Selph?"
Having a small moment too himself,Wise's mind decided he couldn't falter about any more longer then he had too was still too much work too get done around that wind tunnel and then sorting out its pattern if in any manner he could fix its hole so it would stop flinging trees about,And ripping them from their was damaging the sight of Nightopia so he had too,Making Trees and helping their growth was fiddly business. He couldn't have any more trees getting damaged if too allow himself and Nightopia too focus on many other details.
Without another moment too himself,the figure picked up his previous steps too meet with the area in question.
His new found jewelry sliding against the cloths folds and the shakes in his movements.

Night 2 end~
