Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 107: The Next Dream Adventure Begins
Spyro looked around startled to find himself in a forest, last thing he remembered was going to sleep and suddenly he was in this forest. He raised the claw paw up above his head from the bright light coming through the trees, he saw a rocky crystallised ceiling above the trees and realised he still has a dragon paw and in his dragon form.
Spyro try to shift back to the changeling griffon hybrid but nothing happened, he was still on all four claw paws. “What going on? Why can't I change back?”
“Your asleep and this is the form you slept in, while in Dream Cavern that the form it reflects you in.” Spyro quickly turn to the source of the telepathic voice, it felt different to the usual changeling channel of telepathic speak.
“Your in the trees just in front of me a few branches away, I can sense you.” Spyro was glad he could telepathically speak back to the being. “And Dream Cavern? That means I am as you said asleep and I did go asleep in my dragon form.”
Blue jump out of the trees landing before him with a stern look through his red eyes into the purple ones of the purple dragon. “Indeed, you learn fast. Since this is your first visit to Master Gale's realm you will find your magical and natural abilities as a changeling unusable due to safety security that been put in place since the Toothless and Hiccup accidental incursion.”
Spyro flex his wings closing them up to his sides. “That explains a few things and understandable, just strange to be somewhere else in a dream, this feels as if I would retrain every moment of what I am experiencing at the moment.”
“You would.” They turn to see Keeper wearing his shirt and trousers walking up to them holding a glass of apple juice with a strew sticking out of it and the other end at the corner of his moan. “You went to sleep before me, so the fact we arrived at the same time says that relativity of time doesn't apply here, so a minute, hours or days here is only merely six to eight hours of sleep.”
They watch him drink some of the juice afterwards. “Indeed what Keeper Sentinel says is true, come Master Gale awaits in the Dream Randomiser Chamber behind the waterfall.” Blue turn and start to walk, the dragon and fox follow close behind the jackal diamond dog hybrid.
They step out of the forest walking along the rocky embankment towards the pool of water with the waterfall flowing into it, high above the large group of crystals creating the light and heat in the cavern. “This must be the place Prince Wells spoke of about Blue, I can see why he was confused and impressed by this place...” Spyro whistled.
“It took Master Gale a few nights to find a way to bring you through to here, as you can dream you seem to dream different to other beings.” Blue calmly said to Spyro.
“Didn't even know that was a thing...”
“Nor did Master Gale, you and him have a strong bond that was created, this form of dream sharing differs to that bond.” Blue explained.
They saw a armoured clothed wingless dragon standing by the pool with his arms crossed. “Blue the Dream Guardian, care to explain why I am doing here?”
“Master Gale wish for you to join Spyro, Keeper and himself on a dream adventure, there been some modifications from last two times.” Blue said and raise his right hand paw up, the path emerges from the water and the waterfall parts to show the entrance.
Anubis's purple fiery eyes shift to the entrance. “I am having a rough complex problems at the moment, I do not have time for dream adventures Dream Guardian...”
Blue smirked. “Time? You say? There nothing but time here, unless you wish for it to be over in seconds, that by your choice.”
Anubis snort out some purple black flames. “Your just as bad as Blaze, that fiery tailed orange dragon knows how to twist words.”
Blue just get his smile. “I am not, only stating how the Dream Realm works, your ability to travel back and forwards through time make you elude to the fact the Realm of Dreams work on a similar effect but only forwards in time. Sometimes Master Gale spend weeks here in just eight hours in the waking realm, he been working hard on his Dream Randomiser and I have to put the breaks on it for him to not over tax himself.” Blue calmly explained to Anubis.
Anubis crossed his arms. “It seem you are correct, but that doesn't mean I wi-”
Keeper stepped up to them. “Why not solve this with a contest? A battle between you and Blue. Isn't that the most dragon thing to do?”
“I can agree to those terms and if I win you go on a Dream Adventure, if I lose you get to go.”
Anubis snorted. “Fine by me, I am Anubis the Death Dragon and I won't turn down a fight!”
Alpha stepped up behind Keeper and Spyro. “You are aware that Keeper Sentinel has a sly way about how he word things aren't you?”
Spyro frowned. “Are you saying Anubis had already lost?”
“Yes, as I am asleep and here as a dream form, once I was here physically too, I kept many gifts from here as I trained with Blue and he is powered by the imagination of Lord Gale.”
Keeper quickly turn and look up at him. “Prince Gale's imagination is incredible vast! How do you think Grogar was able to make so many of us after he lost his bell! The cub when he was in that between form of magic had no moral coils of what was right and wrong when we were created!”
Spyro looked very confused. “How powerful can dream up creatures be?”
Alpha smirked. “You recalled how the null crystal didn't effect me as I saved Lady Celestia and Lord Wells?”
“Yeah I did, you even were able to catch that Reality Bomb and destroyed the null crystal.” Spyro gulped slowly turning to Blue forming a aura staff spinning it around and got into battle stance. “Your saying Blue even stronger than you!?”
“Yes.” Alpha crossed his arms. “Watch and see.” They stood by him awaiting for the fight to start.
“Awww bloody crap...” Anubis raise his armoured claw hand out with his staff appearing. “Look like I stepped right into the fire... but it doesn't matter I don't back down from a challenge.” He stood ready. “Let's see what a Dream Guardian is made of!”
Blue smiled. “Gladly!”
Anubis jumps right at him unleashing a beam of magic, Blue deflect the beam with his staff and before Anubis try to find out where Blue went, Blue was right in his face with the palm of the hand paw against his chest, he look down at it seeing it glowing brightly. When he look back at the face of Blue's, the sly smile from the jackal diamond dog was all he knew it was already game over in one move. “Checkmate.” Blue unleashed a force of energy sending Anubis flying across the pond sailing past them all through the waterfall.
“W-what power...” Spyro had sweat roll down his scaly face seeing how easily Anubis was defeated.
Keeper yawned a little with hands on the back of his head. “Saw that coming.”
“Only because you also bit more than you could chew fox.” Blue calmly walk by a now right eye twitching fox with deep blue streaks across his forehead showing fear as the red eyes quickly glance into his blue ones.
“Look like Blue went a tad overboard on that attack, Lord Gale most likely wondering why Anubis crashed into the wall inside the DRC.” Alpha walked across the bridge that rose up from the pond and into the tunnel that was revealed from the parted waterfall.
Keeper swallowed hard as they followed the wolf into the tunnel.
They all walked into the chamber to see a dazed dragon lying on his back with smoke raising from many parts of his body, Gale looking very confused holding a tube with a glowing orb inside it with bio-neural wires attached to it connected to the top and bottom of the tube metal casing. “Anubis, why did you have to get into a fight with Blue?”
Blue noticed the display showing the pond. “You watched and listened didn't you Master Gale?”
“I did.” Gale's talon glows and Anubis was healed instantly, he sat up looking over to Gale. “Anubis the fight is void, you either choose to come along or just go back to your own dreamscape, you alone only make that choose.”
Anubis lower his head closing his eyes. “I choose to fight and-”
“Traditions of cultures don't exist here in Dream Cavern and as I am the one that created it and runs the place, it void end of story.” Gale cross his arms. “Now make your bloody choice! Go or stay! I don't care about your personal issues! I brought you here for a dream adventure! If you want to bloody be a twat about it then I'll go get my sister Gilda or even Nightingale! I don't do this lightly!”
Anubis was taken back by how the teenage griffon acted, he felt like something more older then a teen here, it was unnerving for him. “I-I'll join you and the others on this Dream Adventure Creator Gale...” Anubis open his eyes standing up.
Gale smiled. “Good, now let's move on shall we?” They nod.
Spyro lean over to Keeper. “My little brother really something...”
“Your little bother isn't to be tested here in Dream Cavern, I made that mistake a few nights ago...” Keeper whispered back to Spyro. “Though I am very curious about this machine, it creates random dream adventures from what we heard.”
“Being in a sharing dream is a new one already for me, this dream adventure I don't understand...” Spyro said curiously looking around the chamber. “How exactly do a dream adventure happen?”
Gale fly up to the top of the dome wall into roof at the blacken opening in the top. “This fires a beam that takes us to a dream adventure, last two times been a bit of a mess, first was blind and that where Alpha came from.”
“Indeed, shall we tell them Lord Gale?”
Gale was eager for that idea. “Sure! Before we do let me put this in.” Gale inserts the tube into the console and close it up. “Right... the first dream adventure where Alpha came from went like this...”
Spyro, Keeper and Anubis heard about the Kung Fu Dream Reality and the Berk Dragon Dream Reality, they were amazed by the events that took place from the two Dream Adventures. “So this Echo Grogar tried to steal your Pure Magic within the dreamscape by bring a black dragon called Toothless and a human called Hiccup.” Anubis said looking at the images that were on display around the chamber.
“Spike, Alpha and Blue managed to wipe out his army of golem monsters...” Spyro whistled. “Talk about strong team work.”
“I gather this third instalment isn't going to be as crazy as these two?” Keeper asked as he took a good look at the systems in the chamber.
“Yes I did some changes, I know your super smart Keeper, what do ya think of my Dream Randomiser?” Gale answered and asked.
Keeper close the panel up. “It amazing, the fact this technology is all fictional and works in a way that shows functionality, it reminds me of my Gate Chamber where you have different door ways into different Equiss, Earths and other worlds in each reality at different points in time. Just this is a dream gate.”
Spyro looked at the one image of Gale, Discord, Po and the Furies five. “Other words your super impressed right?”
“Right Spyro.”
Gale stood up on his hind legs, his claw tips of the talons tapping away on the display console. “I made it this time that everyone here can press one symbol each, then it randomises those symbols into a pattern. That will than show the beginning of the adventure with introduction details for each of us and background of it too, the adventure will change and progress from that moment and we have no idea how it will end.”
Blue took a good look at the symbols all around them on the domed walls to ceiling. “Impressive Master Gale, this is a vast improvement to before, learning from each adventure have really helped you.”
“It did Blue.” Gale smiled. “It took tones of dream realm time to get it working, but today is the day we put it to the test!” Gale activate a holographic display in front of everyone with the symbols floating around. “Since there is six of us here, we have six symbols to pick from.” Gale turn to Keeper. “Keeper you pick first, than Spyro, Alpha, Blue, me and finally Anubis.”
Keeper looked around at each of the symbols floating around. “Hmm...” He rubbed the underside of the muzzle than he move the hand away and tap one of the symbols. “This one.” Spyro picked his then Alpha picked one, followed by Blue, Gale and Anubis picking the last one.
The system randomised the symbols in order and the symbol displays are changed to a few images appear before them with a text showing what the Dream Adventure beginning will be. “Interesting.” Keeper curious looked at each of the images and the information.
Anubis walked around it. “So this is the kind of adventure we doing in a shared dream? I don't see the appeal of this at all.”
“Don't judge a book by it cover and short description.” Blue warned.
Spyro turn to Gale. “Is Alpha and Blue joining us too?”
Gale shook his head. “No they will stay here and keep a eye on thing while we gone, even it could be minutes for them while we gone, it better safe than sorry.”
“Have fun.” Alpha lean against the wall.
“We will!” Gale said with delight. “Now we know what we getting into at the start of the adventure, let's see how this plays out! I am soooo excited!” Gale flapping his wings with excitement. “Everyone on the platform and Blue press start it up when we all on!”
“Will do Master Gale, enjoy your adventure.” Blue waits for Anubis, Keeper and Spyro to join Gale on the platform, when they do he activates the system, a beam of light shines over them and they were gone. “Now Alpha, I wish to know what it felt to be in the real world, you've been avoiding the subject and Master Gale managed to help you.”
Alpha's ears lower. “Damn it... you know why I avoid bring it up, also you know what Lord Gale knows!”
“I do but I wish to know either way from your own personal view. Please tell me.”
“Fine...” Alpha muttered.
