Vision 1: Dream Child of Nighturnia

One day, I found myself in a space akin to a void. Nothing could be seen but darkness. Even after opening my eyes, only stretches of dark lands can be seen...Where on Earth am I...? Can I even see at all...I could've been sure that I could... "What's wrong with you? I'm guessing you can't see either?" I heard behind me, "! *turns around, able to see a shadowy figure with blank blue eyes* What the...Why is it that...I can only see you..? And...Why is it that you don't seem to be bothered?" I asked in confusion, "Heheh. That's something for you to find out. All I know is this. One of us is the King of the Night World, and the other is The Knight of Darkness. We are gonna be part of the same Vision after all" he was saying with hints of mischievousness in his tone, "Vision...? Night of...What? What does it all mean? I-I don't know what's going on here.." I replied, "It doesn't matter...You'll know your fate once you wake up. Either you live the high life, or you live out your days as a struggling servant. I think I know which I'd rather want. *sees a ball of light forming next to me, taking the form of a child* Is that...? But how!...No! I'm not letting this happen! I'll make sure of it!" he started shouting desperately, "*sees him raise his hand with sparks of dark lightning, shaking our surrounding* W-wait! You still haven't explained anything! What's happening here?! I don't even know where I am! /∆\" I was trying to tell him frantically, but he went ahead and put us in a house I could barely make out the interior of before disappearing. "There.. I'll leave you with that. Good luck with it" he lastly said before leaving without a trace and an unfriendly expression, "H-huh? With what? Good luck with wha- *hears a massive THUD from behind* oh no...that can't be good...o =;;;" I was saying with my heart waiting to jump out of my chest from how fast it was going, "*lifts the roof of the house off with huge hands, lowers equally large head to me, staring at me* 0x0...BYGYAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!" the large, black female monster roared, "*roar blows me against the wall* Ghnnn..! I can..! See it but...What am I suppose to do against it?! Not like I have a-! = *feels something forming in my hand* Huh? What is this? *brings it to my face* It's a...Staff? I can see it...But why is it already broken?! Half of it is missing!" I react, "*floats next to me* Don't give up, father!" a really young voice said, "Father? Who, me? I..I can't see you! Where are you?! *sees a light forming around me, morphing into a bright armor* Whoa! Where'd this come from? Was it from the little boy maybe?" I was trying to figure out. The giant black-furred monster picked me up with her huge claws, putting me over her head then she opens her mouth. "No! Please! Don't eat me! I still don't know what's going on! *feels her dropping me* WAAAAAIT!" I was yelling in fright before being swallowed whole by her, with a resounding, metallic chomp when I went into her mouth.

...Is my life over?...Huh?...I...I don't feel anything. I could've been sure I was eaten just now. This is all weird...If I wasn't eaten...Then where am I now?

"[?] Hey there, stranger. Are you awake now?"

"*opens my eyes and sits up* Wait, huh?! Where on Earth am I now?"

"[?] Earth...That sounds familiar. Well this place is called Nighturnia. *looks at the big ring around my collar with the 3 other rings attached to it* (Hmm..Those rings and that collar are kinda similar to mine...) You're a Nightune, aren't you?"

"Nightune...? I...I dunno...I'm not sure about what I am even.."

"[?] We're in the same boat then. I dunno either."

"Umm. Do you at least have a name?"

"[?] Oh. It's Flonoa. Thanks for asking. ^w^"

"Flonoa...That's pretty. I'm glad to be next to someone like you. /u \"

"[Flonoa] Me too. Hey, you're awfully nice ^ ^...Unlike those people down there.."

"Down...Where?"

"[Flonoa] *points down* Down there. What, you can't see them? You'd have to be blind to not...*sees me look saddened and with my head pointed downward* Oh..Sorry about that...I-I didn't know, ok? / .\"

"No, it's... It's ok, really...if only I knew what was going on.."

"[Flonoa] Huh...It must be real scary that you can't see and be in a whole new place on your own...I can't leave you like this, so c'mon."

"*gets hand grabbed by her* Huh? Where're we going?"

"[Flonoa] To the village below, silly. They kicked me out for some reason, but they sure change their minds after seeing how you can't see without me. I gotta find out what's going on too. Maybe we'll find out why you're blind in the first place. ^w^"

"(Who is this girl? It's like... She's done this sort of thing before..Well..I guess it is much better than just staying here) T-thanks, Flonoa. I really hope we find what we're looking for. / u\"

"[Flonoa] Wahah! I can't wait once we find the right people to talk to. There's a whole world ahead of us, so let's go! ^w^" she declared with excitement before we slid down the hill below together, with me huddled over her but she was still able to guide us down the sloped path. We were able to reach the bottom, with Flonoa holding my hand the rest of the way to the village, despite her being about 2 feet shorter than me. She gave me smiles here and there whenever she looked back. I can barely make out her expression, but I sense the really warm feeling she gets from me being close to her like this. It makes me wonder if I can sense this sort of thing in others too..When we started strolling through the village, the people within it wre making way for us. I heard many fleeting footsteps drifting away from us and as far as how they feel...It's as if they're scared. But why? We haven't done anything to them, so I dont get it. "Why're...They scared of us, Flonoa?" I asked, "I wouldnt know. No one seems to want to tell us..We gotta keep looking around, ok?" she told me. As we searched, she sees several interesting figures and artifacts. Letting me touch them, I can tell these were hung chakrams, gravestones of different shapes, rods and...Two things that really got her attention..A monument of some kind with a spherical person on it...And..A statue that looks like her, but different. It even had her ring weapon with it, and since this is one of those things I can see pretty clearly, I can visualize that the statue is taking a heroic pose. When she did it, the pose felt really familiar. "Flonoa...I really dont understand..What does it all mean? / \;" I asked, "I wish I knew...I.." she was trying to say, looking confused as well, "If...Could this be you from a past life? If it is..Then why would..Unless...F-Flonoa, can you turn into a giant monster? ;" I asked, "What?! No way I can do that! I'd remember if I could..It would've saved me the few times I had to fight so far!" she told me, "But..You dont seem to remember much at all. *sees her frowning* H-hey, dont..I just want things to make sense around here..We really got thrown into all this ynow.." I replied, "Yeah..I think we should leave now. Let's get the name of this place before we do" she then said to me. We went from inn to inn and a few eating spots before an owner with enough courage was able to tell us. Though not only did he tell us the name of the village, but ended up giving more crucial info. "This 'ere place is called Rocolu Village. We's a bunch of peaceful folk. Only been uptight cuz of a bunch of recent attacks, with a big one happening to us from the other night. We dun know we did it but it was big ol' feller" he told us, "Big...Did it look like it could be a female monster?" I asked, "Say, it was, wasnt it? Hmmmmm..I aint thought it'd be important to know but we sure dont get varmits that look that slim and big in certain areas on 'em.._v_" he was trying to figure out, "(Big...) *looks at big breatsts and slimmer waist* (In..Certain places huh?) You dont...Think it could be me, could it?" Flonoa asked, "Hmmmm, well lil' missy, you would look the part sorry ta say. Maybe some of the folk here've been actin' real funny 'round you, thinkin' you're the monster and such. Tell ya what. Word on the street says there's one of dem Seeker Gals closer to that there Dawn Castle. Maybe she'll know summin' 'bout all this" he was explaining, "(Uhh..Something tells me she isnt called that ;) Huh..Ok then. Thanks a bunch owner. We'll pay her a visit" I said in gratitude, "Heheh, no problem, blind Billy-bob. Name's Huck. You two run along now. Dont want no one thinkin' Im suspicious and helping sum crooks to wreck the place again" he told us, making us giggle a bit as we walked out.

As we were entering a valley, Flonoa was telling me how lush and lively it was, despite being so filled with varying colors of orange. The path we were taking was turning into darker colors of orange, but she was assuring me that it isnt too scary if I were to see it for myself. She asked if I knew what orange was, and I explained how vividly I can remember the colors and shades of it looked. It's one of my favorite colors even...Once Im able to see again, I'll make sure to bring her back to these parts, just to enjoy the scenery together /. My wondering was getting cut short by a sudden wave of negative emotions and feelings being picked up by my senses. "Uh F-Flonoa..Im sensing some hateful feelings coming from up ahead..It's coming this way../ , \;;;" I warned her, "Dont worry. Just leave it to me!" Flonoa told me, taking out her big ring from behind her back and wielding it. In the distance, Flonoa sees a bunch of red, rounded creatures running at us, saying "Moo moo moo moo mooooo~", "Umm..What they suppose to be...?" I asked, "I think they're called Moos. I got this. I faced some earli- *sees several bombs in the back row of them* Wha?! Where'd they get those from?! O O;" Flonoa reacts, "Where'd what come from?" I asked, "*snatches my hand* This way! We gotta run for it! TTOTT" she urged me, taking off running and making me go with her like this. Unfortunately for us, they had good throwing arms; Able to throw their bombs over our heads and blow up in front of us, thrashing us around with their explosions, even giving my neck some whiplash. "*waves away the smoke with big floppy ears* Hey! *coughs* Where are you?! Can you hear me?!" Flonoa asked, "*coughs, gets up* Im..Im over here..! *gets trampled on by 8 Moos, jumped on as most of them turned back to me and proceed to beat on me with their sticks; curls* I give! I give! I didnt know how to fight! TTOTT" I was pleading, "*beats and whacks them away with strikes from big ring* That should be all the bombs. Hope they dont have anymore of those..= =; *sees more coming this way and throws the ring at them, rolling them away upon impact into others as the ring returns to hand; stands in front of me* You'll have to stay down there so I can fight 'em off" Flonoa told me, "Y-yes ma'am...TT TT" I complied. From here I pointed which ones were too close for her to react to in order to attack normally, and unless they were some distance away so Flonoa can throw her ring at them, she just jumps on them and poof into thin air in no time. After a minute of fighting lie this, I sensed no more Moos and we were able to continue forward. "You're really experienced with that ring, huh? Even though I couldnt see much of you, Im not sure if I could keep up if I could see. You were kinda fast with it" I compliment, "*giggles* It's like I've had it for a long time. I dunno...It feels really special to me somehow" Flonoa said, "Does it..(It really does seem like she had a past like, even witht that ring...I wonder if my rings are at all connected. Cant imagine how at the moment..) Well, let's keep going. So we can find that Seeker lady" I replied.

The two of us stumbled upon two separate paths. Flonoa told me one led to a forest full of elaborate sets of branches and steep falls, while the other path led to dreary town that's being rained on. We ended up taking the latter of the two ways, hoping the visit wouldnt be too bad. Once we set foot on the town's wet grounds, Flonoa notes seeing oddly placed sets of objects on the ground. These ranged from vases, chairs and cabinets. Pretty specific things to just be laying around outside like this. "You dont..See any townspeople here, do you, Flonoa?" I asked, "No...There's no one here..Do you feel any emotions left here?" she asked, "...It's faint but...I kinda do..*walks up to a beach ball on the ground, touching it* The feeling's stronger when Im close to one of these things...(Oh no..) Either..I can sense left over feelings from whoever had these items...Or even worse..._ V_" I was piecing together with a strained face, "Or what?...You dont think...*sees me turn my head away* No...This is terrible! We have to help them if this town is this cursed! *Gasp* Then what about the Seeker? Do you think she's- *hears a rapid pace of running from behind* ! What the-!" Flonoa reacts, dodging the dark being in time. The thing was dark blue, standing back up on all fours with it's shifty body, staring at her with it's red eyes. "Flonoa! What is it?! This one has alot of malice! Way more than all those Moos combined from earlier!" I asked in urgency, "I dont know! I've never seen this thing before!" she replied, "Nameless. *sees our eyes flare up in surprise* That is what I am. Now then. I shall take you out of this Vision" it said, "(Nameless..? What even is that?) *sees him dash this way, knocks him away with the large ring, but sees him recover* Did he just..? *sees him dash in once more; bats him away in the same fashion but sees him getting back up quickly* Wait..How is he getting back up so fast? That's not good o o;;;" she was starting to realize, "Enough. Now disappear. *runs in again but is suddenly halted in place* Ghhghh! What is this?!' it then reacts, "Quickly! Use your Banishing Staff!" we heard, surprising us, "(Banishing Staff? Is that what this thing is? It's still broken..But I gotta try something!) *runs towards the stunned enemy and swings the rod at it, making the upper half of the staff come out and materialize in the form of light* ! (It-! Did it justs do this on it's own?!)" I react to myself for a second before carrying out the rest of the swing, "*gets engulfed by it's light* NOOOOOOOOOO!" it howled in fright before disappearing in a blinding burst of light once my staff made contact, "Wow! How'd you do that? O3O" Flonoa reacts. I...Have no idea how I did that..I never even did anything like it before.. "You seem very confused. Come. I shall enlighten you" said the elderly sounding lady. Im pretty sure that's the Seeker lady that Huck mentioned about. She seems to hold a good deal of power too, seeing how she could hold that thing in place like that. We both have alot of questions for her..Hopefully she can answer at least half of them. We gotta know what we're doing so we can get where we wanna be. Once me and Flonoa nodded to each other, we stepped inside and sat on her couch while she sat in her rocking chair. Flonoa told me how she was knitting but she was making a line of dolls sown together. I'd like to see how she could do that.

"[Flonoa] Thank you, miss! Please, we have to know what we should do and what's happening around us!"

"[?] First of all..I am one of the few Vision Seekers."

"Vision Seeker..? What...Is that?"

"[Flonoa] Vision..That sounds familiar too..Even though Im very new to everything...Some things..Just dont feel too off to me. Like I've done some of this before.."

"[?] Patience, you two. You may call me Annatyle. We Vision Seekers are tasked uncovering the truths of whichever Vision we are present within."

"But what are Visions? Are we..Really within one?"

"[Annatyle] Visions are within one's dreams. They are what dreams consist of, so yes. We are all within a Vision."

"[Flonoa] So we're all in a dream?"

"But who's is it?"

"[Annatyle] Your's."

"...What the...No...That cant be.."

"[Annatyle] But it is. Hasn't everything you've experienced so far rather strange to you?"

"...It..Really has, yeah...Then..If this is a dream, how do I wake up?"

"[Annatyle] You must see your Visions through to the end. Or else, you may never wake up."

"[Flonoa] Oh no...Im sorry I dragged you into all of this../ ,\"

"No...This is my dream..I have to wake myself from it.."

"[Annatyle] You mustn't be sorry in the first place. After all, you are a Dream Traveller."

"! S-she's a what? o o;"

"[Flonoa] ! Why does this sound familiar too? What's wrong with me..."

"[Annatyle] You seem to have forgotten yourself upon entering this dream. I am afraid I cannot help with that. We aren't meant to meddle with other dreams. We are next to useless to Travellers like yourself."

"[Flonoa] Oh..."

"[Annatyle] I will say, however...Given your demeanor and loose familiarity, you have traveled and assisted with solving many dreams, and their issues. Do not fret with this in mind."

"[Flonoa] Have I...That explains alot then. So I really shouldnt be worried. If only I can do more on my own though.."

"[Annayle] The Wind Ring. That weapon you hold in your hand. It is incomplete."

"S-speaking of incomplete, what about my Staff? You said it's a Banishing Staff, right? What's this all about?"

"[Annatyle] That staff is rather special. It has your Dream Child in it."

"Wait...M-my child? Who's the mother? o o;"

"[Annatyle] She's right there."

"[Me & Flonoa] o .o;;;...HUUUUUUH?! OoO;;;;"

"[Annatyle] Perhaps I should explained this first..A curious event has been taking place across multiple Visions. Infant entities were found in far off Visions. What they can do is unknown among us Seekers, but we believe that they can combat the forces of the Nameless."

"Could...That be what called me it's father..?"

"[Annatyle] So you have already encountered one. We sensed as much...When did this occur?"

"I dont know when..It had to've been not long at all ago. Right before I got swallowed up by this giant monster. It must've been a Nameless...But the last one talked to us.."

"[Annatyle] These Nameless...They're Nightune Beasts of great malice. They desire to destroy and fragment Visions and all who inhabit within them."

"[Flonoa] That's awful! Why would they do such a thing?!"

"[Annatyle] They are omnious creatures. While their motives are remain elusive, they seem to be afraid of Dream Children...Tell me, Dreamer. Did the Child you entered look anything like the Traveller?"

"Come to think of it..*thinks back to the black and white whiskers on his face and the long black, fluffy ears from his head* He..Kinda did look like her...And me."

"[Flonoa] (H-he did? T-this is all so sudden..~/~)"

"[Annatyle] Then it really is true then. These Children must have been made to counter the Nameless. As you noticed, physical attacks cannot damage them and require that you use the Banishing Staff. Now then..I am afraid this is all the information I can provide. While us Seekers share a collective of what we have learned through long distances, we do not know absolutely everything there is that w come across. It is advisable that you two find other Seekers."

"Oh..Ok then..B-but mind if we stay here for a bit? This was alot.."

"[Annatyle] Very well. I advise too that you shouldnt stay for too long."

"R-right. We wont take long..Right, Flonoa?"

"[Flonoa] Of course! We'll be outta here in no time."

"*is pointed to the room and follows Flonoa as we enter; sits on the bed with her* (Everyone looks so different from me. Even the Seeker lady, seeing how she's shorter than me but looks so much older..If I can remember..I should still be Human...But am I something else while inside my own Visions? Was Flonoa made from these Visions? I still have questions, but if this Seeker doesnt know anything else..) ! I forgot to ask her if she knew this guy I saw!"

"[Flonoa] What's he look like?"

"Umm...Very dark and shadowy..Kinda tall..Uh...But what I remember most is how much of a jerk he was to me."

"[Flonoa] I dont she'll know who that is... ;"

"Let's see..Oh! He also mentioned something about a King and a Knight of Darkness. I cant remember anything else he said beyond that. I got a little mad.."

"[Flonoa] That does sound important enough..That means there should be a kingdom somewhere. We should ask the next Seeker about all this, whoever she is."

"Yeah...I guess that's the plan now."

"[Flonoa] What..Interests me the most are the Dream Children..She...Said they're our Children, right? ~/~"

"! S-she did, didnt she? I..Never would've guessed. /,/"

"[Flonoa] Do you think they're..Made from the Visions..Maybe from the future? You saw one, right?"

"Umm, yeah..He looked like both of us in a few ways..He has your fur...Your eyes..Umm.../ A-and she said they're made to help fight off the Nameless."

"[Flonoa] What if...We were to make more Children? Wouldnt that be even more helpful?"

"! F-Flonoa! I...I mean I do like you, but..."

"[Flonoa] But what? It's because Im so different, is it?...Or that..You think I was that monster that ate you and attacked the village.."

"H-hey I never said any of that! Look..I dont wanna make this hard for us...I do really like you.."

"[Flonoa] ! Y-you do? o/o"

"! (Did that actually just come out?! ;)"

"[Flonoa] Then...What about kissing me?"

"K-Kissing you? S-so..It doesnt bother you that Im blind?"

"[Flonoa] *giggles* Not at all. I cant leave you alone as you are, but since you've been so nice to me, I'll gladly protect you ^w^."

"O-oh...I dont think I've ever had anyone say that to me...Then...How about you kiss me?"

"[Flonoa] You want me to do it? Okay! *holds my cheeks and puts lips on mine* Mmmmm~3..~ ~"

"*moves lips with her's* (W-w-wow..I didnt think she'd be this good..She's really making my heart go wild right now...Oh Flonowy../q/)"

"[Flonoa] *pulls head away from me* Hmhmhmm, how was that? ^w^ *looks down, seeing a bulge poking from my pants* Oh, do you want me to kiss it too?"

"! *closes legs* (I dont believe this! Did she really arouse me enough like that just now?! /;)"

"[Flonoa] *touches the bulge* It's real warm down there..I can even hear your heart beating fast. I-Is it cuz we kissed like that? /;"

"I-I guess so..Uhh..Dont worry, I-I'll be fine, ok? ~/~;"

"[Flonoa] Here. Lemme kiss it and see if it'll go down."

"*sees her lower her head into my crotch* (N-no, dont do that! It'll just get bigger! ;;;)"

"[Flonoa] *presses lips on the bulge* (Mmmm...So warm...and..big..) *remembers how the statue looked from earlier* (If that was me...And Im a Dream Traveller..I looked pretty different in it...Then what if I was...) ! O O;;; *pushes me away*"

"*is flopped on the bed* Huh? W-what happened?"

"[Flonoa] I just thought..What if..I was a boy in those dreams? /;;"

"! (Oh yeah..The Seeker lady did say Flonoa's a Dream Traveller. Even said she's been through many dreams..) Well..*looks at her big breasts* If you were a boy, you wouldnt have those big boobs. I can see you just fine but they're so big I can see them even more clearly."

"[Flonoa] Y-you can? o/o"

"*looks down, seeing her wide hips* You're also pretty curvy, and that sticks out to me too..Us guys dont...Usually have that."

"[Flonoa] But..What if I turned into a girl when I came to this dream?"

"Good question...Hmmm..Then...How about this. Since we really wanna touch and..do things together..We'll do this just this once. Until we find out more about each other. That sound ok?"

"[Flonoa] I guess so..It's just that..Thinking about it like that feels embarrassing. /"

"Let's not think about it for now. Let's just...Make each other feel good. Yknow..Physically. You do feel really good to touch and feel on..I like being around you too."

"[Flonoa] Y-you too..I'll just..try my best with you then -/-" she started complying before kissing me on the lips again, deeper than before, and pressing her big (F-cup) breasts against me. I tugged at her blue shirt and she tugged my hardening penis. We really wanted to see each other's privates..Anticipating it by a great deal..When we then gaze into each other's eyes while making out, not believing how things got to this point, but focused on what's currently happening. The moment I opened her shirt to see her bright blue bra, I knew this was a point of no return. We were not only ready but wanted to do naughty things together before the lady could interrupt us...So we got naked, and I spread her legs while she was on her back, ready to be inserted while exposing her bright red vagina to me..I never wanted something more in my life...Of the few things I can see, Im more than glad this was one of them..

-LEMON TERRITORY-

Flonoa was blushing with lustful eyes as she saw how my penis had some size to it, especially compared to how big it was compared to her red pussy. She really wanted it..So much that she combed a clear path for it by brushing her black fur out of the way of her cunt, welcoming my penis. I then placed it on her red hole, feeling it throb in excitement as she moaned with a long exhale. Flonowy did more of this when I was massaging it against her wet pussy, and it felt hot in seconds at this moment as her black furs and pubes covered my shaft, making some rustling sounds...I couldnt believe it..I was gonna have sex with a girl Im still not sure what she is..All I knew was that this was gonna feel amazing...And it did.."*feels it start going in* H-hhhaaaaauuggh~~! /o/;" Flonoa moaned. "*stops going further* A-are you ok? O O;" I asked, "No..I-I mean yes..I...Just keep going..I didnt know it was this big..You're doing great /u/" she told me, "T-thanks, Flonoa..I really do wanna make you feel good now..as much as possible" I was telling her in a lower tone, and we were having really slow sex as she relaxed and closed her ears..We were both getting sweaty in no time..But every inch, every second, and every moan was really special to us...We were feeling very connected, more than any of us expected...I think Im starting to fall for her..and I have a feeling she feels the same..My hands laid on her thighs as I lowered on my body over her, giving her more weighted vaginal thrusts..Her big black breasts were lovely to watch as they shook and jiggled up and down at me..As if they were also wanting me...I wrapped my lips and tongue on each of them, sucking and kissing Flonoa's very big mammeries to my heart's content.. "Haaaaah~..More..Please...Kiss..and suck on them more...~q~;;" she was lowly begging me, and I did as she desired..Then she yanked at my ringed collar, pullin my face in to suck on them deeper. W-wow, Flonowy. You much really love this o/o..I was too...Not just getting a mouthful of her boobs...but getting pulled like this..It's like she knew how much she needed to pull on me. It made me even harder..and bigger..and she felt my meat getting a bit heavier, seeing how she started drooling with her eyes rolling and bigger moans, trying to take the pounding between our mushy privates..Flonoa clinched the pillow behind her as she felt some throbbing inside of her. "(I can feel it..Im..getting so close..It's gonna happen any second..) Flonoa..I..I love you../;" I was trying to say, "H-hu- *gets kissed by em again* Mm! mmm...mmmmmm..mmmm..~/~ *feels me start shooting globs of sticky goo inside* AAaaaaaaggggghhhh! Mooore! Keep-! Aaaaaaaagggggghhhh~~~! /Q/;;" Flonoa let out, climaxing with some squirting all over my pelvic area, drenchng me as I filled her up like this. I fell over, barely catching myself with my arms and with her help to keep me up as we were both catching our breaths. We slowly realized what happened..We actually had sex just now..Not minding at all how fatigued we felt afterwards..When she lowered me to her, we locked lips once again, and I can tell she wanted to do it right there again. "*knocks on the door* Are you kids ok in there?" Annatyle asked, "Y-yes..Dont worry, we're fine" Flonoa said for us, "Very well. I have something else to relay to you two before you leave. No need to rush on out" she told us. We heard her footsteps grow faint and the two of us stared at each other, with Flonoa giving me a slightly shy smile. Even she couldnt help but feel at least a bit embarrased for what we were doing..and yeah, wanting more would be a bit too risky. "It's ok, Flonowy..I was the one who really wanted to do this..Now here you are wanting to really do it. Funny how that works huh? ^/^" I said to try and comfort her, "Sorry..I didnt want to get carried away..Is that a nickname you just gave me? Where'd you get that from? o/o" she asked, "Well it's..Kinda a nickname..Im not too good at making them, but it just came to me, cuz well...You're cute, Flonoa /u/" I told her, "O/O A-am I? *giggle* Well, if you think I really am, I must really be different than that other Dream Traveller then ^/^" she replied, "*giggles with her* Yeah. Something tells me he wouldnt be like you. You're way cuter than anyone I'd know, even. I..Think I'd love to make children with you ^u^" I was ensuring and saying to her, "*giggles* I'll..Think about it, ok? ^ ^" she said before we gave each other a warm, heart-filled hug.

We took a few moments to shake off the sexual high and fatigue before we redressed ourselves to step back out, seeing what the Seeker lady has for us. We sat down like we did before, anticipating what she was about to tell us. Her somewhat stern gaze didnt sit well with either of us. "Your ring. I needed time to meditate for it. So I can conjure a Wind Gem for it, so you can traverse with it's Wind Bullet. Howver, it seems ass though I cannot do it on my own" she tells us, "Then..Do you need another Seeker lady for it?" I asked, "Not quite. After some personal introspection, it looks like the one I needed help from is you. Put out your hand" Annatyle told me, "O-ok.." I complied, doing as she said. Once I did, a swirl of light came forth from my hand, her's and my Banishing Staff, forming shimmering gem into both Flonoa's ring and her collar. Strange..I wonder why I was needed for this...Then it hit me. "Wait! Is it because this is all in my dream?! I cant do whatever I want on own in it, can I? o o;" I asked, "Yes. That is rather accurate. What you speak of is your will. The power to change what resides in this Vision and the dream realm as a whole. That power. It lies in your Dream Children" she informs. Does it...I guess it makes sense. I mean, as much sense as any dream would have if it had rules. "Use the ring's Wind Bullet to grab and thrust enemies about, using their momentum to your advantage. Now before you go, allow me to leave you with this...Flonoa. You may be more different than I imagine. *sees our eyes jolt open* It seems...That you have a dark transformation. You are a monster of Nighturnia. Partially, but you are still" she unveils, "! *looks over to her, seeing how saddened she is* (Flonoa..Im so sorry for you to hear this..)" I kept to myself, "Do not feel too dismayed. You two much search for the Dream Children, so you can keep her Nighturne form in check and under control. So he may also awaken. Now...I am afraid this is all the info I can give. Good day, and good luck" Annatyle farewelled, seeing us slowly rise and drag our feet out the door...Flonoa was starting to shudder and hold herself as we exited the rainy village. "Flonowy...Im so sorry you had to hear tht..But listen..*sees her turn my way* You're still Flonoa to me..I dont care if you're any type of monster, or if everyone doesnt like you like that first village...I still want to Dream Children with you..And make more..^ ^" I told her, "*sniffles and wipes tears* T-thank you..Im just...Unsure about everything..We dont have any Dream Children and..I dont know what'll happen if I do transform.." she replied, "*holds her hand* We'll find a way. I know we will..Now cmon. Let's get to the next village and reach the end of this Vision ^ ^" I happily said to her, bringing a more apparent smile to her face. While she had some hope now, it was still hard for her to shake what we were just told. Especially when we dont know what'll cause it...Still. We also knew standing around wont solve anything, so we decided to continue forward with this in mind.

We came back to the fork in the road and went the other way, into the forest full of gaps separated by vines and deep, 60ft pits between them. "*looks further, seeing a big wooden face* Wait..Are those..Eyelids..? Hey buddy! I think that's a big tree but it's asleep. It's way up ahead" Flonoa points out, "Oh. You told me about how this place looks like we cant go any further. This is probably why. This forest doesnt really sound like one because that tree controls everything here. Is there anything wrong with it? It's odd that things are this bad if it's just asleep" I asked, "*sees a few glowing red veins around the eyelids* It's..Hard to see from here, but it looks like it has red vines. We'll have to get closer, and maybe try to wake him up" she replied. Flonoa remembered what the Seeker lady said about her ring and looked for a Moo to test it on. When she saw a stray one, she pointed it at the little critter and a big burst of wind sent it flying from the jewel piece. "Whoa! What happened? I felt a big breeze just now" I react, "*fixes big blue hat* It..Blew alot of wind just now. But she said I can grab things with it..Maybe she gave me the wrong one?" Flonoa was trying to piece together, "Hmm...If you can use the wind it carries to get us across to the big tree over there, I think that's what we'll have to do. *flaps and tugs at her wide, long ears* Can you fly with these?" I asked while proposing, "These? I've never tried before. *looks at the ring* If this is our best shot, then we'll have to try. Hopefully my ears can carry us the rest of the way" Flonoa was complying. While holding my hand, Flonoa gathers a bit of wind energy into the ring (knowing it'll let loose fast if she does so normally), leading us with a running start and jump off the edge of the large vines marking the start of the forest. Pointing it behind us and a bit downward at an angle, she makes the ring blast us forward with a powerful burst of wind. It flew us through the winged Moos that were trying to block our path, poofing them as we jetted forward in this manner. The gust of resisting winds that were trying to slow us down were blinding Flonoa's sight but she could see well enough that we were 15ft away from the ledge we needed to close the gap. She flopped her ears as well as she could but they barely helped. We were only 5ft off! Our hearts sank as our fall was spelling doom from us and nothing in our power could stop our descent. Howevere, we were given a helping hand from a flying figure. The person lands us in front of the big tree in no time and floats down in front of us. "Heya dad! Im Veila! One of your Dream Children! owo" she welcomely introduces, "! You're one of the Dream Children? Im so glad you saved us like that! And you're not blind?" I then asked, "Of course not! I wouldnt have saved you like I just did if I was, silly x3" she replied, "We would've have gotten here with you! It..Does kinda feel embarrassing that a small daughter of our's save us like that..^^; *looks back, seeing that the large tree has red vines covering it's mouth and most of it's eyes, keeping them shut* Oh no! He's forced to stay asleep! Those nasty vines must be the cause of it!" Flonoa deduced, "Hmm. Yeah it sure looks like it. I dont know what we can do for him..Sorry ..I guess we'll have to come back for you later.. " Veila lowly said, "Too bad...Hey, can you actually take us out of this forest? Your seem to be really strong if you can take us up here like that" I asked, "Sure! Anything for ma and pa! Hold tight! ^w^" Veila told us, grabbing our arms and flying us to the other side of the forest within a minute. Whoa! I can feel alot of wind and how high we are. The forest must've been really big if we're going this fast and it's still taking us a bit to get through the place! Once we landed, we were put in front of a river that led to the top of a waterfall. "Say, thanks again for the help, Veila! That would've taken us forever to get through all of that ^^" I was thanking, "No prob, papa! We'll get through this Vision in no time! I can smell the end right now!...And the end of your LIVES! u " she suddenly said, "! W-what's gotten into you?! I thought you were gonna help us! OnO;;" Flonoa reacts, "HA! You two are really gullible if you thought that! Im gonna have fun toying with you two! \W/" she told us much to our displease before snapping her fingers. Once she did, three giant Moos appeared in front of us as Veila floats in place in the air above us triumphantly with an evil smile. "Get them, Bloo, Zloo and Cloo. Make them suffer! u " Veila ordered them, "You're our Dream Child, right?! Why attack us?!" I asked urgently, "It's fun being evil. Once you do even the slightest bit, you cant stop! Now dance for your lil girl, dance! \W/" she told me, "(This cant be right..Why's it have to be the first Dream Child we meet and she's like this?!) *looks with some focus as she moons us and sees a dark aura shrouding her* (! That has to be it. Something's corrupting her. But what?! We didnt see anything around us that do this to her!)" I was trying to piece together, "*grabs me and jumps out of the way of the giant Moos' stomping* (There's gotta be something we can do about them! My Wind Bullet wont be enough to take them on..Think..)...Hey! Use it! The Staff!" Flonoa told me. My Banishing Staff? Oh no...Please dont tell me I have to use it. Not on one of our Children.. "*sees me holding my rod close to me* Hey daddy. What's wrooooong~? Afraid to give your lil girl a good spanking? TwT" she taunted me, "Veila...Im sorry about this..I really am..*raises rod, making light come from it, forming a whole staff with it's rings at the top of it* If this is the only way to stop you, then I have to use this! V" I told her, "*zips around me* Catch me if you can then! Cmon, try it! There's no way you can when Im this quick! You're too slow! Im too fast, so naaah! xP" she further taunted. Little did she know (anyone at this point), the light portion of the Staff was able to not only extend out but also match her speed, tailing her with no issue. "What's going on here?! You're not supposed to do that! You're cheating! Daddy's a big cheater! oVo; *casts a hand out* Well guess what, you aren't the only cheater around here!" Veila told me, "*sees red roots climbing up my legs* Dont move! Those red vines look really dangerous!" Flonoa warned me, "So it was YOU?! *hears her grunt in surprise* You were the one that put those vines on the forest's main tree?! Then you made the path for us look impossible to cross!" I shouted, "! *gets arm fitted through the Staff's hoop, and cant see that arm* How're you doing this?! You're suppose to not be able to move and fall over if those vines touch you! *sees the staff start to absorb legs into the hoop* Please! Stop! What's happening to me?!" she was trying to plea, "You've given us enough trouble...Im sorry..But you have to go..." I lowly said as she gave her last scream for help before the Staff completely banished her, making the large Moos disappear. If only it didnt come down to this..I didnt want to use it..I really didnt...We dont even know what it'd take to bring anyone back...

I found myself fallen to my knees, still not believing what I did while holding my Staff close to my chest. Flonoa held me from behind to console me. "It's ok...I know you really didnt wanna do that..It's not your fault, ok?" Flonoa was trying to tell me, "But that was..She was one of the Dream Children..One of our Children...It shouldnt be this way..If only I..." I was lowly saying, "Hey uh..Is this a bad time?" said a female voice coming to us, "*looks her way, seeing a yellow dog-like creature with green eyes with an interesting shape to them* Who..Are you?" I asked, "! You can see her? o o" Flonoa reacts, "Yes...I can see the valley...The waterfall fall...And the path that can take down to the bottom.." I told her, "So you were blind? That's weird. Well the name's Popka. Im looking for a travel buddy. Mind if I come with you?" she asked, "...sure...I just...need some time to myself is all.." I told her, making her concerned about me. So much has happened today that I dont know where to start...And why now? Why can I see again?...Could this be..The end of my Vision?
