[This realm is one of dreams and it certainly appears that way. Many of the living creatures don't stir from their slumber even as the newcomers pass them by. A gentle rain can be heard, but rare is it that the droplets fall close enough to the earth to muddy the path laid out before them.

The wounded have been brought into a clearing with a low hanging canopy that provides a cool shade while the healers themselves work on grinding a mixture of freshly-picked flowers and decaying leaves. There's a spring nearby that provides fresh water, which is cupped into large leaves to drink out of.

Straying from the clearing proves to be... interesting. Vines as wide as cars hang from the gargantuan trees above. Brightly-colored flowers of all sizes shoot up from the thick undergrowth, and some of them close up shyly as you approach. Others bear sweet fruit, though picking the flowers themselves is highly discouraged.

Somewhere near the center of this jungle, there is a gentle, mossy hill. It looks as if a dragon might have made her bed here, and recently at that.

Morpheus sits against a tree looking rather tired, his fur cloak pulled tightly around his shoulders so that only his nose and ears stick out.]

[Well, this is the biggest dragon around and, in proper grade school fashion, Rose figures the biggest one is the one she needs to harass in order to gain some footing in this new home of hers. It's a stellar Rose Hathaway plan to stalk directly up to the giant DRAGON and glare.]

And you're just going to lay there when your fellow dragons are injured - some even dead? Great inspiration you are, snoring through a time when your people are in need. Were you even out there fighting in that battle, or have I actually managed a higher kill count in it than you?

[The whole two demons she killed. Though she supposed one and a half was better since she did have Carolina's help with the second one...]

[Ysera doesn't stir. Doesn't even open her eyes. However, she does respond, with a lilting voice that fills the sanctum.]

I thank you for your concern. As you can see, my flight is recovering, in its own way. On its own time.

[The voice startles Rose and she looks around to see where it's coming from since the dragon in front of her is STILL SLEEPING. But since no one else was nearby talking to her and what was actually said has her turning back to peer closer at the sleeping dragon. And yes, this does mean walking closer but she does manage to refrain from touching. Wasn't there some young adult book thing about not touching sleeping dragons, or was that something stupid like tickling?]

...I didn't know dragons could sleeptalk. I wonder if it's like sleepwalking where someone could end up in pretty compromising positions, only with words instead.

And you know, dragons aren't the only ones here. Some of us not!dragons might like some words of encouragement and inspiration that aren't just lipservice. And passing the buck to Morpheus doesn't count. He earned his nap.

[Ysera isn't one for fighting, as a rule, and it's an attitude that extends to most of her interactions. Of course, that doesn't mean that she's incapable.

Her eyes are closed, but there is rapid movement beneath her eyelids, as though she is, in fact, seeing a great many things at once.]


All battles have a general. That is the purpose we Aspects serve for our flights. As for you, mortal, I suggest you take your rest while you can.

Barbie would have made better general. At least she'd been out there in her hot pink convertible instead of lounging in the Dream House.

[That was mumbled mostly under her breath. When she spoke again it was at her normal volume.]

My name's Rose, not 'mortal'. And I'm plenty rested. I don't need to sleep twenty hours a day.

[Ysera's pretty patient, as dragons go. She doesn't understand Rose's reference, but the tone comes through clear enough.]

Settle.

[Rose opened her mouth to give a snappy reply, but she stopped herself. Even she had enough sense to know when she was starting to push things too far. And, at the moment, she didn't really have a good reason to do so other than being generally irritated at her situation.

So, she shut her mouth, crossed her arms and glowered.]

[That's better.]

All creatures on Azeroth are connected to the Emerald Dream. When they sleep, I see into their minds; their hearts. I can walk along their inner landscapes and do as I will. I can shift between that plane and this one; I can bid nature to my call. As one of my champions, you also have these powers, albeit in a more limited capacity.

I do not require open eyes to see, or to act. Neither do you. Perhaps you will understand that, eventually.

Dreamwalking? Great, more spirit stuff. And here I thought I only ever had to deal with my boyfriend taking a waltz through my dreams. Why am I not surprised a dragon can do it?

[Never mind that part where apparently Rose will be able to do it as well.]

So why me? Why pick me to, erm, champion you? I'm not exactly hero material, not matter the number of Strigoi I've killed.
