My 10 ch. Please review, people. I need criticism every now and then.
Or else I would think I'm doing too well. Review.

Janila dreamed again that night.
Janila dreamed that she was on a cliff, a forest behind her.
In front of her was a massive tree, which glowed with magic.
She knew this to be the World Tree.
She stared at it, enchanted of the magic.
Suddenly, a dream-like voice spoke from behind her. "It is beautiful, is it not?" Janila turned around, and saw a lady, standing there.
The lady had green hair, a green, flowing dress, and green jewelry.
Her eyes were closed, flickering underneath of them, as if looking at several things at once.
Janila swallowed, and said, "Yes, milady."
The green-clad lady smiled, and said, "No need to be polite, Janila, daughter of Beoln. We are in your dream."
Janila looked around again.
The World Tree was there, so life-like… the lady spoke, her eyes still closed. "Janila, do you know who I am?"
Janila shook her head. She had never seen such a lady before.
"Janila, I am Ysera, the Dreamer." Janila gasped. The great Aspect of Dreams was speaking to her? "Great one, I didn't know-!" She knelt in homage to Ysera.
"Janila, I would not have one of my daughters kneeling before me in her own dream. Now stand up."
My daughter? Janila stared at her in confusion. "My daughter?" Janila echoed.
Ysera nodded, eyes still closed. "Yes, you are one of my daughters, of the green dragonflight. Do you not know?" Janila didn't understand at first, then she realized.
"I-I'm a green dragon? A wind mistress?"
Ysera nodded, her smile seemed a bit confused though. "But did you not know? I had Beoln to teach you, to help them…" Ysera said, affection tinting her tone.
Beoln? "You knew Beoln?" Janila asked.
"Yes, he was a dear friend of mine. You were one of my… special daughters, I should say." Janila shook her head in profound confusion.
"A 'special' daughter?" Janila asked.
Ysera sighed. "You are full of questions, aren't you? Yes, I gave you a small portion of my power. You are able to go into the Emerald dream at will… Did Beoln not tell you?"
Janila shook her head, still confused.
Ysera nodded. "He must have thought that you weren't ready yet. You wouldn't have understood him."
Janila suddenly thought something. "So, all along, I was a green dragon?"
Ysera nodded. "Then I can turn into one…" Ysera nodded again.
Ysera spoke. "I would want to see my daughter, full grown as she is."
And then, Ysera, Aspect of Dreaming, opened her eyes.
Her eyes were like rainbows within them, reflecting thousands of thoughts, nightmares, and dreams…
Ysera seemed to glide to her, and with motherly affection, touched Janila's violet skin.
Now Janila realized why, at times, her hair turned green. She was a green dragon.
"You are my mother…" Janila said, softly.
Ysera nodded, looking at Janila in the eyes.
Janila then said, "Why did you leave me?"
Ysera spoke again, softly. "I can go into the lesser race's dreams, but I would not understand them. You, since you lived as one, would."
Then, Ysera stepped back, and said, "Would you like to fly with me, in this dream of yours?"
Janila suddenly felt excitement.
Flying was a dream of hers, to fly like a bird. She nodded, and Ysera place both her hands on her cheeks.
Janila suddenly felt something lift, like a burden rose from her shoulders.
She closed her eyes, and felt the transformation begin.
