Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "You like adventures, don't 

you sister?"


You begin to follow Avurekhos.


You smile broadly and say, "I love them!"


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Beneath a tall oak tree.

It is quite mild. A blue tongued tae'dae lounges about here, his white fur 

bristling. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy. A glimmering 

miniature of a snow phoenix rests upon the ground, wings unfurled majestically. 

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout is here. He wields a viciously 

serrated, diamond-edged katana of sterling damascus with both hands.

You see exits leading north, east, south, west, northwest, and through a large, 

root-covered rabbithole.



You smile broadly and say, "I know where we are!"


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "Tell me, have you ever been 

to my Lords realm before?"


Avurekhos smiles softly.


You say, "Well... I didn't know that part."


"Nope," you say with finality.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It is through this rabbit 

hole, through it, we enter our dreams."


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout to in a cathedral of the 

forest.

Avurekhos smiles softly.


In a cathedral of the forest.

Prismatic shards of light cast from atop a dais of petrified wood mix with the 

faint phosphorence of the overarching canopy of this cathedral of the forest, 

flickering softly across oak and acorn carved alcoves and the organic, abstract 

swirlings of leaves and vines inset into the white stone of the walls. Golden 

light pools beneath the branches of saplings set within the recessed reaches of 

the atrium: lush ferns grow beside and between unworked ivory river rocks, 

brushing the ankles in a procession towards the interior of the temple. Softly 

glowing bits of lichen streak the arched embrasure of the trees high above, 

illuminating the buttresses of their trunks and the vault of their intertwining 

limbs. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy. A glimmering miniature

of a snow phoenix rests upon the ground, wings unfurled majestically. Lodge 

Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout is here. He wields a viciously serrated, 

diamond-edged katana of sterling damascus with both hands.

You see exits leading in, out, and through a column of revolving colours.


You say, "Whoa... it's pretty here..."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "We're in the realm of the 

dreamer, my Lord Hoaracle's place where he some times meditates and speaks to 

us."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout out to before the 

Cathedral of Trees.


Before the Cathedral of Trees.

Enormous trees of feathery fronds and phosphorescent mosses grow lushly through 

the air, their dark brown trunks stretching up to dizzying heights and their 

interwoven branches crafting no distinguishable feature between one and the 

next. Lambency spills down their plentiful leaves, miraculously birthing orchids

of gold, indigo and lavender which blossom and wither in disjointed patterns. 

Treebark sutras glimmer with the gliding of flintcap bugs; these insects 

sublimely illumine this grove with their gentle light, catching whispers of mist

aglow with visions and metaphors. Though the forest thickens, a grand Cathedral 

sans cap, dome, or ceiling stands amidst the thriving undergrowth. Walls of 

polished white bricks can be seen, undulating slightly with freizes and imagery,

punctured with tall stained-glass windows. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly

here. A sibylline egerias stands rooted here, tirelessly scribing upon the 

surrounding leaves. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy. A 

glimmering miniature of a snow phoenix rests upon the ground, wings unfurled 

majestically. Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout is here. He wields a 

viciously serrated, diamond-edged katana of sterling damascus with both hands.

You see exits leading north, southeast, south, and in.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "This is the living dream. 

Tell me, how does it feel when you dream sister?"


You say, "It has... a very different feel, from when we went to Lady Maylea's 

realm..."


Avurekhos smiles softly at you.


Seeming dazed as she looks around, you say, "When I dream?... hm..."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It is a cathedral of forest 

life, bearing close resemblance to our home."


Seemingly entranced by the area about them, you say, "When I dream, it feels 

real. I feel like I'm me when I dream."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "Connected to your inner self,

yes?"


Slowly redirecting her gaze to you, you say to Avurekhos, "Yes, exactly."


Smiling quickly in your direction, Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout 

says to you, "That is some thing us Hoaraceans some times believe in...except, we

feel as though we're connected to all of creation...to all dreams."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "We're interconnected to each 

other, and we grow through interaction."


You nod your head slowly in understanding.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It is said, that when we 

imagine we're to imagine the greatest of possibilities. Look forward to what is 

to come, embrace it, and learn from our mistakes if any thing."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "As it is our nature to do 

so."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "Did you wish to understand a 

bit more about this place, sister?"


You nod your head emphatically.


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout north to organic alcoves 

beneath an overhang.


Organic alcoves beneath an overhang.

One of the origins of the Dream's thick organic systems spreads overhead in this

low alcove in the soil, marked by whirling streaks of phosphorent lichens in 

shades of blue and soft, verdant-tinged murmurs of ivory. Broad, bark-whorled 

roots spread in a rough star from the bottom of the thick tree, swirling 

outwards in a procession of moss-painted wood to sink into the ground and to 

rise upwards in broad paths through the mist-locked forestlands. Alcoves open in

those of the roots that sink into the loamy dirt beneath the tree: within them, 

glowing cells of amber and flowing patterns of moist plantlife flare to life and

extinguish. A mature birch tree stands proudly here. A sibylline egerias stands 

rooted here, tirelessly scribing upon the surrounding leaves. A wiccan broom 

floats here, vibrating with energy. Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout 

is here. He wields a viciously serrated, diamond-edged katana of sterling 

damascus with both hands.

You see exits leading south, southwest, and west.


Avurekhos inhales deeply before releasing a loud rumble, producing a 

characteristic 'hoom' as the air leaves his lungs.


Wandering about the area some, but keeping within your eyesight, you say, "It's 

so... it's very dreamlike. I guess that's the point."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Aye, it is dreamlike, 

meditative, it allows us to think."


Looking around, eyes nearly glazed over, you ask, "What is it like, by the way? 

To know the Lord Hoaracle?"


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Each time spent with my Lord 

is a learning experience, he is very wise and knows many things, I was very 

fortunate to have met him before he slumbered further into his dreams."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "He helped me find myself, he 

knew where I was headed, I believe."


You say, "It must nice, to have Someone like that."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Although he dreams, he still 

thinks about each of us."


You ask Avurekhos, "Do you miss Him, though?"


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It is hard to form an opinion

about that, I may miss him, but I know we will see each other again within our 

dreaming."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Before he slumbered, he told 

each of us that dreams are real, they're powerful. He told us to guide our 

young, he felt that would strengthen our Serynwodenhillirim."


You nod your head slowly in understanding.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Knowing he cares helped me 

understand that he is always with us, as we're the anchor of his returning."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "He misses us as well, I 

believe."


Looking away some, you say, "It sounds very beyond my understanding, maybe."


Avurekhos inhales deeply before releasing a loud rumble, producing a 

characteristic 'hoom' as the air leaves his lungs.


Avurekhos smiles softly.


You say, "He does not sound like a bad God, or a cruel God, though. He does 

sound kind and caring."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "You will come to understand 

it one day, little sister. It happens to each of us."


Avurekhos nods his head affirmatively.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "For now, did you wish to 

explore some more?"


Avurekhos smiles softly.


You nod your head emphatically.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "I see that

look in your eyes."


Avurekhos's eyes sparkle with amusement.


You smile broadly and say, "Which look is that, brother?"


Between two doors.

Small, square, and yet open to the soaring arches of the greenery-laden forest, 

this antechamber is flanked by two doors carved from thick doors of acorn-carved

oakwood. Alcoves open in the surfaces of the entryways, bearing in them ferns 

and wildflowers amidst barkform talismans of organic figures wrapped around 

smoothly-graven abstract figures of grey and white river stones. Carpets of 

soft-woven silk woven with patterns of shadows across the forest floor seem to 

shift in the gentle light cast by the luminous lichens of the canopy high above:

threads of gold and virid embroidery shine in the understated weaving, picking 

out a quiet luxury amidst the plainer strands. A wiccan broom floats here, 

vibrating with energy. Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout is here. He 

wields a viciously serrated, diamond-edged katana of sterling damascus with both

hands.

You see exits leading north and out.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Exploration, a feeling of awe

of what is around you."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Sister, read what the 

pentagon says."


The Remembering Wall.

Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. 

Afloat by a swirl of whispering energies, an impossible six-sided pentagon 

floats through the air. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy. Lodge

Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout is here. He wields a viciously serrated, 

diamond-edged katana of sterling damascus with both hands.

You see a single exit leading south.


This simple crystal is milky white, almost completely opaque though a flicker of

viridescent colour passes across its surface. Impossibly, although your mind 

comprehends the shape as a pentagon, it has exactly six sides. It swims in the 

air, caught adrift by swirling, dream-filled energies.


You read what is written on a six-sided pentagon:

Creation cries out with joy whenever a dream is truly made real.


Zouviqil gasps softly.


You say, "That's... that's rather beautiful."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "A message 

to us, yes."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It has stayed the same for 

many years, I believe it to be unchangeable, it is inspiring and true."


You say, "If I have courage, and if He does return to the waking... I would like

to meet Him..."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says to you, "I believe my Lord 

Hoaracle would enjoy meeting you as well, Sister. He likes to understand every 

one, and guide us in the right direction."


Avurekhos smiles softly at you.


You say, "Sounds like someone else I know."


You nudge Avurekhos suggestively.


You flash Avurekhos a joyous smile.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout laughingly says, "Me? like Lord 

Hoaracle? Sister, you flatter me. Haha."


You smile and say, "I haven't met Him, though! So that statement may be 

unfounded."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "That is good, a sign of good 

growth."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "There was a phrase to this 

part of the Cathedral, but it is unknown to me as it is entrusted to Lord 

Hoaracles living symbols. I believe."


You tilt your head curiously at Avurekhos.


You ask, "Living symbols? Avatars?"

Avurekhos inhales deeply before releasing a loud rumble, producing a 

characteristic 'hoom' as the air leaves his lungs.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Some thing like that, avatars

in training."


Comprehension flashes across your face.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Of the sort, the Lord Dreamer

doesn't seem to have a daydreaming avatar these days to defend creation and live

up to his philosophy."


You nod your head slowly in understanding.


Avurekhos ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout east to at the Grand 

Transept.

Avurekhos hugs a dreamy wisp of dawn light compassionately.


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout out to before the 

Cathedral of Trees.


Avurekhos greets a sibylline egerias with a sincere smile.

In a weird, warbling voice, a sibylline egerias says, "Praise He who Dreams of 

Creation!"


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout exclaims, "Praise be to creation, 

breathe of dynara!"

Avurekhos smiles softly.


Before the Cathedral of Trees.

Enormous trees of feathery fronds and phosphorescent mosses grow lushly through 

the air, their dark brown trunks stretching up to dizzying heights and their 

interwoven branches crafting no distinguishable feature between one and the 

next. Lambency spills down their plentiful leaves, miraculously birthing orchids

of gold, indigo and lavender which blossom and wither in disjointed patterns. 

Treebark sutras glimmer with the gliding of flintcap bugs; these insects 

sublimely illumine this grove with their gentle light, catching whispers of mist

aglow with visions and metaphors. Though the forest thickens, a grand Cathedral 

sans cap, dome, or ceiling stands amidst the thriving undergrowth. Walls of 

polished white bricks can be seen, undulating slightly with freizes and imagery,

punctured with tall stained-glass windows. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly

here. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy.

You see exits leading north, southeast, south, and in.


You tilt your head curiously at Avurekhos.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "You have read on the 

cosmogenesis, correct?"


You nod your head emphatically.


You say, "Yes!"


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Dynara created things, we go 

by dynaran principles."


You ask, "Dynaran principles?"


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Principles that support 

creation, nothing that seeks to deaden it."


You nod your head slowly in understanding.


You say to Avurekhos, "I hope He reawakens."


Avurekhos smiles softly at you.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says to you, "So 

do I."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "You will 

have many important questions to ask him, I'm certain."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says to you, "It is my only wish to 

direct you in the right path, to grow."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "But each new experience leads

to growth."


Avurekhos nods his head affirmatively at you.


You nod your head enthusiastically.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says to you, "So 

I'm happy to be a part of that, thank you."


You say to Avurekhos, "I just wish you were able to be part of it more often 

with your children."

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Aye, I couldn't always be 

there for them. I was always angry with myself for this, but It has gone."


You laughingly say, "Now you're there for them even when they're not there."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "I try to watch them, and 

support them. Instead of grow angry and bitter in seclusion."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It took a lot of meditation, 

and I remembered our Hoaracean philosophy. It helped hearing my Lord speak 

before he dreamt, I never told him that."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Mostly because by that time, 

he was gone."


You say to Avurekhos, "Well, brother... you'll keep growing."


You say, "I know you will. I've seen you grow and change."


You say to Avurekhos, "You're going to keep growing even if anyone tries to stop

you."


You smile broadly and say to Avurekhos, "I'm grateful that you've let me watch 

it."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Even now, my Lord Hoaracle 

hears me speak and sees my growth as he dreams. That makes me feel very happy to

be a Hoaracean. Knowing that he will help me grow further through his 

teachings."


Avurekhos smiles softly at you.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks, "So, have you enjoyed your 

visit to the living dream, sister?"


You smile broadly and say to Avurekhos, "Yes! It was enlightening."

Avurekhos smiles softly.


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout down to the Mother 

Moonhart Tree.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "There we 

are, home."


You follow Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout to an ancient 

shadowed grove.

Avurekhos smiles softly.


Tugging on your wrist gently to get your attention, you say to Avurekhos, 

"Brother?"


Avurekhos smiles softly at you.

Avurekhos's eyes twinkle enchantingly at you.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout asks you, "Yes, my little sister?"


Smiling softly, you ask Avurekhos, "What will you do when I grow up and get 

married?"


Avurekhos ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "I'll be 

rather protective, perhaps, be sure that man or woman is good and not playing 

you."


You ask, "Playing me?"


Avurekhos ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "Thats some

thing you might not have to worry about, you tend to knit out the poor 

characters in creation like the fates."


Taking your hands and taking a step backwards, to create a distance between the 

two of you, you say to Avurekhos, "I don't know about that. I just see the joy 

and gentleness in people, and the emotions..."


Avurekhos ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."


Zouviqil Myeras holds Avurekhos's hands still, looking away to 

the side, as if suddenly lost in thought.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout stares at you thoughtfully, still 

clinging onto both your hands. speaking calmly, "Well then, you know I will 

always be your shield sister. If need be, I'll help you if you ask."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout releases his hands from your own for

a moment, buckling his knees to envelop you in a warm embrace.


Zouviqil Myeras redirects her attention to Avurekhos and shakes

her head a little, snapping out of it. "No, brother," she says, voice soft and 

quiet. "Sometimes a shield of the physical cannot protect you from certain 

things."


Zouviqil Myeras reaches her arms around Avurekhos, plopping her

head onto his shoulder with a soft sigh.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "This is not a shield of the 

physical, but it is the shield of the mind too."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout smiles broadly and says, "Should you

ever seek the need to be consoled, to speak on things, I will speak back."


Opening her eyes half way, you say, "... but what do I do, brother..." Her voice

softens more, becoming uncharacteristically frightened in sound. "When I don't 

understand that which comes to me in understanding...?"


Avurekhos inhales deeply before releasing a loud rumble, producing a 

characteristic 'hoom' as the air leaves his lungs.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "There are times when I 

meditate, think on it some time longer. Pick out the little points, re-evaluate,

understand and grow. If you ever feel that way, take your time, do not hurry off

into the wind."


Avurekhos ponders the situation.


Closing her eyes again, you say, "I wonder if it's really that easy..."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "It is difficult, but thinking

on it...-really- thinking on it will help you, that much I'm certain."


With a heavy, wearied sigh of someone far past her age, you say, "... I hope so,

brother... I'll try harder."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Hrm."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "I hope so too, there is some 

thing heavy on your mind. I hope it is just this discussion in itself."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Burden."


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "That is a start though, I am 

happy you will try."


Smiling weakly, you say, "I wish it was, brother... but I will try."


Finally releasing you from the hug and forcing a smile, you say, "But let's not 

worry ourselves with things like this!"


You smile and say, "We need cake, brother. Definitely need cake."

Avurekhos laughs out loud.

Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout says, "Of course."


Avurekhos smiles softly.


Lodge Keeper Avurekhos Myeras, Jaguar Scout exclaims to you, "I do worry about 

you though, sister, I'll figure out if some things wrong eventually!"


Smiling at you playfully, you ask, "But will you figure out what it is, if you 

do?"
