Luna noticed it was semi dark in the cavern which meant it was simulating night time at the moment. “That must be Discord.” Her turquoise eyes shift around to pin point the three forms, Luna sensed they were all in one area of the cavern. As Luna walk towards it down the forest path she were unaware of a pair of red eyes above her watching carefully, Blue knelt down on the branch with his right paw hand resting on the branch in front of the feet paws, the four locks on his head vibrating using the power in him to fake his energy at his and the others homes. Luna walking by the lake up to the river saw the crystal on the ceiling shimmering in a night colour light of the moon. “Impressive, a night and day cycle.” Blue hoping from tree branch to branch following her in silence. Luna found a what seem to be a natural formation slope leading up to a cliff side, walking up to it she saw a large open cave tunnel and within it was a set of smaller entrances, Luna looked up seeing smaller crystals lit up. “Hmm...” She saw that each entrance lead up smooth carved out stair wells leading to a wooden door on each. Blue watched her stop at one seeing it twist around with the door after the twisted stair well hanging upside down with a warped colour scheme door, Luna walked up the stairs finding that gravity twisted with the steps till Luna was upside down at the door. “This must be Discord's...” She used her magic to pull the handle down and open it. When it opened she only saw a stony cave wall behind it. “What kind of-” Next thing she saw was a dazzling of stars and the scenery shifted to a large open area, Luna was standing on some sort of circle white platform. “-Tricky?” She looked around. Luna slowly and carefully walked towards the edge of the circle platform, she could see other platforms with equally sized plates directly above the platforms beaming with light with a glowing ring around the edges, when Luna reach the edge she bumped into a invisible wall that became viable from the impact for a few seconds. Luna shook her head from the impact, she place the hoof on the shield that lit up again. “This is one of the Dream Walker magical defences against other Dream Walkers... fake signatures, doors leading to displacements in cells trapped till other Dream Walker returns or Dream Guardian...” Luna said to herself out loud realising that she just fell for the very defences she'd created in her spell book. “Indeed Mistress Luna, this is your very own magical defences that Master Gale put into effect.” Blue came into view from a dark part of the cavern, he calmly walking up to the shield, placing his hand paw on it the shield disappears. “I have been following you since your arrival in Dream Cavern, Discord's door works but only for me, Master Gale and Discord, for others this is the result.” Luna step off the platform and the shield went back up. “I promise you Blue, I only came to talk to him, ask why he aided my nephew during their adventure.” Blue wave Luna to follow, she walk up to his right and walk away from the cells. “From what I gathered from Master Gale's point of view, Discord seem conflicted.” Blue states as they walk down the narrowing path past the stair wells to the doors. “Yet he still can be aggravating at times, but I am to him as well.” They step back out into the view of Dream Cavern. “How have you managed to aggravate the Lord of Chaos?” “I simply agreed with him and respond with truths, his attempts had been less than successful.” Blue turn to Luna. “If you wish to speak to Discord still, he at Master Gale's house at the waterfall with Alpha, they are awaiting my return to continue our game of cards called Poker.” Luna try to get a read off his red eyes, lack of body or facial movement. “Your playing defensive tactic as a Dream Guardian does, Discord most likely asleep in his room and the door to the place is inaccessible to me.” One of Blue's eye lids lower slight while the other raised. “Mistress?” “I will come back when my nephew sleeps, it be the best time to do so without another mishap to the defence wards that are in place.” Luna fires a beam causing a door to appear and open. “I am impressed that my nephew was able to set these defences to protect the realm, you are a well created Dream Guardian Blue.” “That is true but I am being serious, you can join us Mistress Luna.” Luna smiled. “No thank you, Blue. I will heard back to my own realm and get my much needed rest for tonight's duties, when Discord awake inform him I will coming by to talk, only talk.” Blue stared without a motion of his body. “I will pass the message Mistress Luna, have a pleasant rest and please do not drop by unannounced again or I will personally have to act.” “That you already did.” Luna walked through the door, it closed behind her and vanished. Blue looked at the empty space. “That was rather confusing, short and confusing...” He leaped off the cliff side bouncing onto a branch to another, he lands before Gale's house around the large tree by the waterfall, he walk up to it putting the paw hand on the handle to open it. Walking inside Blue look to his reflection of the full size mirror by the entrance, the right bent ear gave him a few seconds of wonder about how Gale gave him it when he was created. “No Luna?” Discord spoke up from the round table with Alpha to the right of him sitting there holding a glass mug of apple juice half empty. Licking his chops Alpha chuckled. “I believe you own me five of those green chips Discord.” Discord rolled his miss shaped eyes. “Yeah yeah you win one eye.” He place the green ones on Alpha's pile. “Now Mutt how about we get back to our game?” Blue walked up and took a seat. “I told her the truth and she just didn't believe me.” Discord gave him the deck. “Her loss, we could have had a nice chit chat while playing a game of poker with some dreamed up apple juice with these pawn cocktail crisps! Got to say Gale got some imagination for this stuff!” Discord put a few crisps into his mouth and chewed on them. Alpha drunk a bit more of his drink. “I am getting the hang of this poker, even my whole life just a figment I do not care, Lord Gale gave me paradise!” He hiccuped slightly. “Hehe...” Blue shuffled the cards dealing them out to each of them and himself. “I believe you are drunk Alpha, how exactly are you drunk from apple juice?” Alpha chuckled again looking at this cup. “I think I am and who knows... Still sharp enough to play.” Blue picked up a cup of water placing it on Alpha's side of the table. “Drink that and eat some of the pawn cocktail, it will ease your hangover in the morning.” “Will do boss.” Alpha chuckled once more. “Now let's play!” Discord picked up his cards. “I raise ten.” They toss their chips on the first chip placed. Blue looked at his cards. “I will match and raise 20...” Blue turn to Discord. “Mistress Luna will be returning, there is a chance she will bring Mistress Celestia too.” “I know and I am looking forward to it, now let's worry about that later and play shall we?” Alpha throw down a few chips onto the pile. “I am *hic* with Dissy! I raise you two 50!” “Dissy!?” Blue smirked. “Well Dissy? Your going to call his bet?” Discord groans and the two canines clap hand paws. “Why am I surrounded by smart mouthed mutts and put up with it?” “Because we are imaginary friends.” Alpha laughed. “And your having a good time.” Blue also laughed, Blue kept his guard up even he wasn't showing it, two days since Discord been in Dream Cavern and Alpha arriving just a short time ago, he was going to do what a Dream Guardian like himself do best. Blue knew Alpha wasn't thinking clearly and using what said to add on the fun part was what he needed to keep the Lord of Chaos out of trouble till Master Gale goes to sleep, the return of Mistress Luna and possibly Mistress Celestia will be something that all eventuality outcomes were possible. “Indeed you two are and yes I am.” Discord raise his glass up and they did too clanging them together, Discord drunk a little and throw the chips down. “Now I call.”
