Do you Dare To Dream about having better choices in life? Plagg and his fellow Kwami's learn to read the fine print - after the fact. Adrien learns the fine print has clauses he can't live with... So they team up and find their own life path, on their terms. A coming of age, finding independence, found family, and a dash of romance thrown in.

*_Prologue_*

Plagg has lived for millions upon billions of years, and in some form or another over the eons he has always embodied Destruction and Decay.

Creation and Life known as Tikki - his opposite in energy - go about their intended role in the cosmos, and each mind their own business as the stars birth, age, and die around them.

Then, a ripple in space struck out a cord calling them in to a small planet drifting on the wings of a fairly alone spiral galaxy, but itself not dead. The pull was gentle to Plagg - like music he would come to learn - seeking and pulling like the gravity of black holes.

Upon arriving above the planet he feels his counterpart Creation nearby in the same orbit. Energy reaches out to her being and he receives a callback link. She is just as curious to the soft call. She also points out in their psychic link that this is a planet they've visited before, ages ago when it was young in creating life and diversity. He apparently took out most of the growing life at one point in a fit of rage, and it had taken her much effort for so long to repair the ingrained damages in order for it to persevere.

Both drift onwards to the siren call of a mountain just below the clouds, isolated from most of the vibrant life on the planet. There they find sentient beings who've crafted more elaborate living structures than nature generally does. They are vertically bipedal, naturally bald all over their body except the head, and are swathed in spun fibers of varying colors. Creation and Destruction immediately realize that an advanced species have grown here and are calling out to the elemental forces. Tikki's surprise ghosts over their link in wonder to Plagg: Apparently long ago, Creations overt touch after his destructive fit had a much more after effect on the local species.

One species in particular, which now reach out to them.

The beings make things from their own hands and minds the materials from the natural world of their planet to suit their needs. The mortal beings seem to have inherited bits of his counterpart's ability to forge beyond the natural law. In a sense, they're a bit like children of Creation.

Immortal elementals such as Creation and Destruction have intimate ties with all life, death, and everything in-between in nature. To Know what these beings are trying to communicate to them is as easy as existing. The mortals main form of communication between each other is an overt use of vocalization with minor body language tied in.

Plagg and Tikki listen to their pleas out of curiosity.

The beings are begging and asking if they could have the power of Creation and Destruction to aid them for a time. All they would need to do is harness their elemental powers inside crafted stones wrapped in metals.

Plagg confers with his counterpart Tikki if she is interested in trying something unique in their immortal existence. And these mortal beings likely live brief lives. She is hesitant - she feels she should continue her existence across the vast blackness of space too, but eventually agrees if this would help the beings of this planet thrive, if only temporarily. Especially as she was just as curious about her creation effect on these mortal beings, and wishes to keep an eye on them a bit longer.

Oh, how wrong their naivety was in that moment.

For how old they are already, they're lied to by beings so tiny and transient. Plagg often wonders if his past blowout ages ago on this planet had also ingrained into the mortals known collectively as Humans if they could harness his power of destruction like an exploding a star.

So...

The humans trick them into the stones. Promising it's temporary, but the Kwami's get everlasting bindings instead.

Goes to show it's not age that makes one wise, but experience.
