"Ah. Hello there,"

A very solid presence shaped like a woman wreathed in shadow smiles down at you, kneeling down beside wherever you are and examining you with dark eyes.

"You are probably wondering where you are. I know I did when I first woke, but that was years ago," her manner is easy going and full of smiles, something projected more by her pleasant 'tone' of voice and positive aura since her features are blurred with shadows.

You realize you can observe for miles upwards, but not in any further direction since you seem to be in some sort of pit. Arching above all of you is a sky of glass peppered with glowing orbs of different colored lights. The glass sky is cracked in a few places and in those areas the multi-colored lights come streaming down out of the cracks like water. The sky behind--within?--the glass is dark and bright at the same time.

"Haven't figured out how to move yet, huh? It comes with time and practice, although if you're not full-blooded Xheanin it's probably always going to be tricky for you. It's lucky that you met me! I've got enough Elemental in me to move mountains! Well, here at least. Here, it will be terribly boring for you all if you have to stay here all night. I don't know how long you or I will stay, but we can look around together for now. Let me help you!"

She reaches down to where you are, hands outstretched, fingertips barely touching the surface of what seems to be a glowing silver puddle that you're currently residing in. Wisps of light like silver snakes start slithering their way up her arms, resting coiled around them and upon her shoulders. As you begin to move, you realize where you were was that pit and that, currently, you are one of the silver snakes.

"Welcome to what you probably know as 'the Dream World'. We have an actual name for it though--Xel'kha. It means--well--all sorts of things in Zislu which is a really, really, old Xheanin language and about only fifty people in the world speak it now but it's really--probably not important at the moment. Sorry, I get distracted easily and forget to finish my thoughts. It drives my master mad.

"Anyway! Welcome to your first (well, probably) waking dream! My name is Unia. One of things you might have noticed by now is that the land around us isn't really fixed. Well, you might not have noticed it since you always only see one thing in one area in one dreaming session. What I mean is that different people see different areas, even if they're standing in the same spot. Right now I'm in a courtyard with a well in it, which is where you all were hiding. If I wanted to I could make you see what I do, but I'm really curious. What do you see?"

Answer honestly. Describe the strange sky, the orbs, the cracks.

...once you figure out how to speak.

We see 6 orbs, one for fire, earth, water, shadow, and light with the 6th one being a silver cracked orb which if I had to take a guess at would be air. Other then that not a thing.

>Just a note. The 'you' she's referring to is you Anons, at least while you're in the Dream World. The character you will eventually be controlling is her.

"Ah, you see the same sky too, huh? Master Xeanis says that the sky used to be the same as the rest of the Dream World, but now it's the only static thing here. Well, aside from the Pillars at least. Here, let me show you."

It takes a moment of silence and concentration before the scenery shifts about you into a bright courtyard surrounded by a high wall and paved with white stone and tall white well in front of you, in which more of the 'silver-snakes' sit until morning. All of the courtyard is paved white, with the occasional purple and blue stones, colors deeper that what you'd see in the waking world, studded throughout. The area is lit like the brightest afternoon, but the sky stays the same.

"It /is/ interesting that you see the Elements in the orbs though. They just look like bright dots to me." You can feel her frown. "Avatar? You mean like a physical incarnation of a god? I am pretty sure I'm not one of the incarnations of Idoniseas. At least, I don't think so. Stranger things have happened I suppose, but don't those things usually come with portents or dreams and prophets? I haven't had any of those, well aside from dreams obviously, but I never really had dreams about my being the offspring of a god or something..." She falls silent, considering the sky some more before shaking off inertia and moving to one of the white walls. "Well, I'm glad you lot are keeping me company, exploring around here has gotten so dull lately, or maybe it's me. Oh well, off to new places I suppose."

As Unia steps through one of the white walls, which had no opening, you appear in front of one of the streams of light from the sky, this one colored a pulsating red and larger across than Unia is tall. She looks up the 0Pillar. It seems more like glowing rock than light, but when her hand tries to rest on it, it passes right through. You notice the area around you is now dark, flat and plain-like. Unia sighs as she looks back down around the landscape. "The Pillars are always so weird, everything around them always stays exactly the same." You feel her tense up in anxiety as she remembers something. "Well, not always exactly the same, but they generally aren't to be messed with. Anyway, any preference on which direction to go? Well, besides Back anyways. We can literally go any way you want, Forward, Slantways, Sideways... oh! I know! There's this really amazing-looking place if you go in Circles twice. But it's up to you, since this is your first time here I thought it would be a nice treat. Oh, and I don't want to worry you, but warn me if you see any warps or blurs around us. The Eaters have been more active lately. But you sho-- are safe with me, so don't worry too much."
