Ch4: The Dream
After returning Kalderasha's Crystal Ball to him (and having Valentina convince him to keep it by telling him that she knew about what happened to her real parents), it became blatantly obvious to the lot of us that only those that I had on my team of companions could see Stella and hear her. "I don't get it either, but it may have to do with the fact that I'm a celestial being," Stella frowned as she snugged herself in between my chest before we went to sleep... which I actually didn't mind all that much, since she was tiny... and because I was secretly into girls, not boys.
"I hear thoughts you know..." Stella frowned from inside of my shirt, surprising me a bit. "Don't worry, I'm into that too." I breathed a little sigh of relief from that, if only because Trode and Yangus were asleep by this point while Medea slept outside by the well. "I know that you are still awake, Mary the elf," spoke Kalderasha from downstairs. "So... do you know my origins?" I asked him as Stella began snoozing in my cleavage.
"Indeed. I saw it in your eyes when we first met at the pub... you are not from this world. Rather from a world that is much more... advanced than this one, if I'm not to be mistaken?" Kalderasha asked. "Sorry, but I'm not hoping to relay too much information about my world. But heaven knows that me being from the real world is probably not the first thing you know about me, huh?"
"Correct again... I saw what our world really is like from your own perspective... curious to think that our entire existence is on a future device using electricity. That was the main reason I gasped before the man came in with the complaint on your friend's unique appearance..." Kalderasha spoke further. "You know not to tell the others when they wake up, right? Because the story's already been altered way too much and this is only the first place in the game," I frowned. "I know that much already, since I could hear that thought in your head as well." "Please stop invading my brain?" "Very well. I wish you good night," Kalderasha said. "Good night, Kalderasha," I sighed as I finally closed my eyes and slept.
When I went into dreamworld, I knew I was definitely dreaming... and I also knew that this world was definitely real. As real as it could get. Why? Because I was standing in a spacious white room with Stella nearby as well as a certain figure I knew from the 9th installment as well as the various statues we'd see of her later on. "So... you're the Goddess Celestria, correct?" I asked her as Stella laid down on my chest again as if she were accustomed to it even while I slept.
Celestria was just as beautiful as I remembered her to be from DQ 9, her long, blonde hair flowing down past her knees, her beautiful garment, her gentle smile, and something I never noticed before: her larger chest size. She was probably the hottest girl in the game now, and that was saying something because of Jessica Albert's appearance.
"Indeed, I am. And you're probably very confused about a lot of things, so I want to tell you what I know," the goddess spoke in the calmest voice I'd ever heard. "Well you got that much right at least... for starters, aren't you supposed to be a tree or something? Or is that never gonna happen?" I asked her. "You're probably referring to the days of the Protectorate, around a thousand years ago in this world," Celestria said, surprising me a bit.
"Well that's not in chronological order then," I frowned as Stella actually licked my nipple. "Um... apologies for my sister's behavior... she gets feisty when in dream world..." Celestria frowned. "It's okay... so anyways, what about the fact that the hero died and that Medea can talk? Can you explain that much?" "I fear those are both things that have changed because of you traversing the dimensions... and sadly, it too was caused by Rhapthorne, whom you must refrain from mentioning until the time comes." "We know that already, sis," Stella frowned as she continued to fondle my breasts.
"So... is he the one that turned me into an elf as well?" I asked. "No, that much was done when you crossed dimensions. Rhapthorne's magic had a different effect on you than most have been unfortunate to receive... instead of being hurt or cruelly deformed, you were given limitless magical ability and transformed into an elf to maintain the energy within you," Celestria explained. "And when I defeat him... am I able to go back home? Or am I stuck here forever?"
Celestria sighed and Stella stopped playing with my chest when I asked that question, both followed by actually smiling with small tears visible in their eyes... though I really had to look at Stella's tiny face to see if she was crying. "We apologize, but you coming here was not a curse... therefore, it is unable to be lifted... and sadly, there is no magic that can take you back to your world except in the dark arts... and we don't think you'd want to go there..." Celestria said through the tears.
"So... I'm stuck in Dragon Quest 8, then?" I asked them. "Yes..." Stella frowned. "And I can't get back home?" "Not at all..." Celestria sobbed. "Well... so long as I'm here, I might as well finish the story off with a bang. What do you say, Celestria? Are you... um... into girls like your little sister here?" I asked the goddess. "O-Oh?! Surely you can't be serious?!" Celestria gasped when I asked this. "Just tell her the truth, sis. I already did my part," Stella said, regaining her composure awfully quickly.
"Fine... I'm into girls as well... but do you really think I'd participate in sex with a female mortal? It'd ruin my reputation!" Celestria pouted. "It's not like anyone would be able to see us if we're in this dream world... though I don't get if it'd be real or not if it's in a dream," I frowned. "Fine... the next time that your friends fall asleep, I will visit you in the mortal realm, take us to a different location away from civilization, and we'll engage in this threeway... if you tell anyone about it before or after, however, I'll take away all of your magic prowess as well as Stella. Are we clear?" "We're clear... I think I'm about to wake up soon... I'll see you later, Celestria," I smiled.
