ADDITIONAL LORE :

Backstory :

Ashlyn always felt sheltered since she was a child, as she was banned from wandering outside their house. She never got to experience the scent of lavenders, the feeling of grass touching her feet, or the bustling noise of the city streets.

She remained practicing and studying, trying to win the approval of her parents just so she could experience the thrill of danger. Their parents were against it for they fear she'll harm themselves out there. She did succeed most of the time, but she'd be caught a few minutes later.

When caught, Ashlyn would come back to a bunch of scolding from their parents out of sheer worry and ground them in their room. The furthest she went before getting caught was to the bakery across their home. Weird thing is — she never felt fear as she supressed it long ago.

Ashlyn could only stargaze, dreaming of a day where she can find an excuse to go outside and just live as an ordinary person. She wants to experience the level of fear and the level of dread she saw through horror films.

She'd also dream of flying, soaring in the skies one day. To touch and ride a dragon would be their biggest dream — maybe even show off to their parents to make them proud and believe in them.

One day, after an unsuccessful escape, Ashlyn was locked back up in he room when she heard the dragon's call. Excited, she got up and secretly packed her things. Going out the window and to a route she never tried, she ran away from home to finally seek the thrill she always wants to experience.

Personality :

» Semi-Social || Usually Reserved

» Well Behaved/Polite

» Brave, often taking risks if it means she gets to succeed

» Makes Rash Decisions

» Emotions over IQ, even if it kills them

» Self loathing and Self Doubt

» Sometimes Blunt without noticing themselves.

OOC NOTE/S :

» Ashlyn HAS BEEN in the academy for a bit now, but she doesn't really appear or has been spotted until now, hence why one of their abilities is already unlocked.

» My timezone is PHT || GMT+8. Yikes im on the other side of the world :(

» I have planned out all four magical ability sets for Ashlyn + a couple books she could encounter, i will introduce it soon hopefully!!

[dreamful-mage]

Going on a semi hiatus to process everything. What Avid and Marm did was disgusting. Its not okay at all. My heart and support goes to the victims in their web of lies. I dont support Avid and Marm's behaviour whatsoever.

On the flight discord, they're compiling every statement made against Avid and Marm. There are also some blogs out there compiling the statements and such.

Take care of yourself, everyone. Take a break, catch a breather, drink water, and eat. Dont blame yourselves for being a fan of them - we never knew this would happen.

Good luck, stay safe!

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn studied in the library for a few days straight by now - rarely ever coming by the Tigris dorm in the timeline.

She needs answers.

What was the previous Reality Mage's Name? What were they like? How did they even succumb to such fate? Is the book even real? Was it made by someone in the future?

She could feel themselves losing their mind, deeply obsessed to find what happened to the mage; any information about the mage of realities would help. Be it their source of power, more about their 'job' - anything really.

From the days of straight reading, exhaustion peered at the edges of their vision. Even Aisling tried to get Ashlyn to play with her. It worked for a moment before Ashlyn resumed their studying.

At the cost of exhaustion, something idiotic has been done.

Ashlyn finds themselves eating the food from the original kitchen - having found it lying around out in the open. Since their arrival, they've only been eating the cooking from their home town.

She then managed to find some food lying around with unknown origins during a quick break from their trips to the library. Exhausted, She just took it and went back to continue.

Their vision started to fade rapidly, exhaustion became more imminent, and eventually the dragon rider passed out.

Aisling, bless her dragon heart, nudged Ashlyn's leg once; then twice. No response. Signs of the poison rot were there on her owner. In a panic, the little dragon nudged the books away with her tail before running off to find someone who can help.

[dreamful-mage]

*A student sits in the Tigris common room while his red and black dragon plays on the carpet in front of him. He seems to be taking notes on the way she moves and behaves, with a few half-finished sketches tucked into corners of the notebooks pages.*

*Upon a further look, a small radius of corruption sits around the student. The tendrils lie mostly still, except for the one the small dragon is chasing and batting at.*

@death-flies-on-swift-wings

Ashlyn was about to go on another trip of going through the library when the student in particular caught their attention. She felt Aisling shrinking back in their backpack, giving themselves a small sense of unease.

It'll be rude to just ignore them - right? But the faint smell of corruption was around the nearby mage. Maybe it'll be okay if they just give a quick introduction and then run to the library...

" Hi! I haven't seen you around here! „

[death-flies-on-swift-wings]

*The student looks up.*

Oh, hello. Yeah, I don’t think we’ve made acquaintances, have we?

*He stands, and holds out his hand to shake.* …Osprey Swift. Pleasure to meet’cha.

[dreamful-mage]

" Ashlyn Endris, pleasure to meet you too! The little guy on my backpack is Aisling „

She gave a friendly smile, taking the hand and shaking it briefly before letting go. Maybe it's best that she doesn't mention corruption yet.

" So, What magic type do you have? I've seen so much interesting stuff lately „

[death-flies-on-swift-wings]

*Osprey cringes with a wry smile.*

I’m sort of… A corruption mage?

I don’t really get it, either, but that’s what the world decided for me…

What about you?

[dreamful-mage]

" Corruption... mage.. that isnt concerning at all..! „

Ashlyn forces a smile, just nodding along

" Well, I'm a reality mage. Im sure your magic wont cause problems whatsoever right? „

She cleared their throat, glancing over at the dragon that was playing nearby

" And who's that cute dragon? Are they yours? „

[death-flies-on-swift-wings]

*Osprey shrugs wryly.* Don’t worry, I get that reaction a lot… I’m trying my best. I haven’t hurt anyone yet, which is good.

*He smiles.* Yes, this is Hatchetfall! Sweetest baby around. You can pet her, if you’d like.

*Noticing the newcomer at last, Hatchetfall stops batting at the tendril, mrrping curiously. She bounds to Osprey’s side and sits obediently, waiting to be allowed to greet Ashlyn.*

She’s very well-behaved, don’t worry.

[dreamful-mage]

" I see! Well i wont bother you with what you're doing, I really need answers so im heading to the library. „

The air started to tighten the more she hung around the mage. Shuffling under the suffocating air, Ashlyn takes a few steps back.

Aisling shrunk even more - almost invisible into the backpack despite it being too small for her. She let out a small whimper - sensing her rider's distress.

Ashlyn gave a quick wave before quickly trotting off.

Not even a proper goodbye . . .

[kayla-pl4yz]

You hear a knock on the door, followed by a voice.

Hello? Is anyone inside? I uh, sorta need some help.

-llightupthenight

Wrong blog buddy XD /lh

Redirecting to @dreamful-mage . . .

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn looks up from where she was sorting their items, waving at the new person in front of them

" Oh hey! New person? Need anything? „

[llightupthenight]

The other looks unsure.

Uh, hey. Sorry for knocking. I was wondering if you knew where the supposed "secret library" is. I wanted to go find some books for myself. Oh, and I'm Ether.

[dreamful-mage]

" Secret library? Oh sure! Give me a moment, let me just grab my dragon „

Ashlyn hummed as she quickly scooped up Aisling, placing her in their own backpack before slinging it over their shoulders

" Im Ashlyn, this fluffy guy on my back is Aisling. Nice to meet you Ether! Just follow me „

She started to walk to the library, humming a small tune

[llightupthenight]

They follow behind Ashlyn.

Oh, by the Hand's good grace, thank you so so much! I've been looking everywhere for it but I just couldn't y'know?

[dreamful-mage]

" Yeah this place is really large, not gonna lie „

Ashlyn chuckled, taking a few turns to the normal library.

" Here we are! Normal library, there should be some bookshelves around here we can just walk through to get to the secret library. It should have some sort of drop once you go through. Nothing too serious though! „

[llightupthenight]

Ether looks around skeptical.

Yeah, I've been in here. I can't believe all the times I've run through here looking for the secret library, it's been in the library after all.

He sighs.

I'm find with falls, no worries.

[dreamful-mage]

" Alright then, take a deep breath! „

They both reached the entrance of the secret library - bookshelves secluded into the walls. Ashlyn reached out before phasing straight through the shelves, jumping down. You can hear the sound of a water splash right after.

[llightupthenight]

Ether jumps right after, hoping they somehow don't miss the water and die.

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn saw Ether's form jumping into the water as she quickly scrambled out,shaking off the water from their boots onto the wooden floor

" It's safe! Watch for the cobwebs and such „

[llightupthenight]

He lands in the water, making quite a large splash falling in and they spit out the water that got into his mouth.

I'm good!

[dreamful-mage]

" Right, quite a big splash there! Anyways, welcome to the secret library. „

Ashlyn chuckled, taking a step back

" There's multiple stuff down here that's really interesting. Look around! „

The mage hummed as she started to look around, checking through each bookshelf to see if there was anything useful or new.

[dreamful-mage]

Um. Hello? I heard that you’re the dream manage, right?

*A half-siren shifts nervously at the doorway.*

…Would you happen to be able to do anything about insomnia? I understand if you can’t… I don’t mean to bother you…

@that-introverted-siren-boi

" Whos ther- oh hello!! „

Ashlyn waved as she turned to the doorway, smiling at the new guest

" Close enough, I'm a Reality mage but I think I have a spell for that if you're willing to try? Dont worry, you're bothering no one „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*He relaxes slightly and takes a few steps inside.*

Oh, that’s great, thank you… Yes, please…

[dreamful-mage]

" Alright, hold still. This might tingle a little bit „

Ashlyn sits down for a moment, letting Aisling out of their backpack. She then lets out a slow breath, pieces of a dream-like realm pierced through reality, hopefully lulling the siren near sleep.

[ Dreaming Aura has been activated for 60 seconds ]

Purple and white particles formed itself in a dome-like formation around the two of them. The area was completely silent, as if time itself slowed down.

[ For a moment, you feel as though you were enveloped with a wave of drowsiness. The magic invites you to momentarily rest ]

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks, surprised by the sudden sleepiness, then yawns wide.* S-sorry… wow…

Really eepy…

…strong magic…

[dreamful-mage]

" I can't really control how strong its effects are. Its actually my second time using this spell „

Ashlyn hummed, shrugging before clicking their tongue

" Oh wait I feel like an idiot, Whats your name, Siren? And dorm just in case you actually pass out.. „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks drowsily and settles on the floor, sitting for now but close to curling up. His eyelids grow heavy and start to sink shut.*

Mm. I don’t have one…

…Tigris, I think…

[dreamful-mage]

" Right, okay. Tigris. We're in the same dorm then. Ill just drop you off. Sleep for now, Siren- if you're comfortable with that nickname since apparently you dont even have a name.. „

Ashlyn started to hum a tune as the dome started to collapse - signalling an end to the spell that was casted.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren curls up with a comforted chirr, falling asleep.*

[dreamful-mage]

As the spell ended, Ashlyn was left with a curled-up Siren on the floor.

" By the Gods above, give me strength.. „

She muttered under her breath as she picked up the sleeping form, somewhat struggling to carry them back to the Tigris dorms. She'll just have to place them down on the couch once doing so.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren unconsciously cuddles closer to her in his sleep, a contented trill escaping him. He’s not as heavy as he looks, but he is a little awkward to carry, with his fins.*

*Despite being unconscious, he is adorably clingy.*

[dreamful-mage]

After a while, both of them managed to reach the common room of Tigris. Ashlyn carried Siren to the couch near the fireplace, setting them down on the cushions while being mindful of their fins.

Looking over, Siren did indeed become clingy to them. With a sigh, Ashlyn decided to stay around, rummaging through the collection of books in her ba-

Aisling.

She quickly perked up, looking around, only to see their fluffy dragon running through the dorm hall, pouncing into Ashlyn's arms

Yeah... she could be a bit forgetful sometimes. She just pets and tends to their little dragon, whispering apologies silently to the frightened baby dragon.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*At Aisling’s noises, Siren’s own dragon poles his head out of Sirens backpack with a sleepy yawn. He has black scales flecked with pale blue spots like stars or freckles.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling shrinked deep into Ashlyn's grasp before poking its head out. It sniffed lightly before hesitantly crawling out of her rider's arms, inspecting the other dragon with a cautious demeanor.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch sniffs at Aisling, before chirping in a friendly tone. He climbs out of the backpack fully, shaking out his wings.*

*He glances at the peacefully sleeping Siren, and chitters quietly, before returning his attention to the other dragon.*

Mrrp?

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling was somewhat startled, dipping its head before shaking its own wings, chirping back lightly.

- Mrr! -

Aisling decides to get closer, headbutting Grimsnatch in a friendly and curious gesture

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatchs chirps happily, head butting back gently. He nuzzles Aisling’s shoulder respectfully, refraining from nipping like he would with humans.*

*Gently, he bats a talon at Aisling’s face, inviting her to play.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling mimicked the action back before tackling Grimsnatch, initiating a play fight with the other dragon

Ashlyn hummed as she lets the two dragons bond, pulling out the book that she found last time along with the poison rot.

'Reality' by What Sanity Remains. Odd title, odd author. They started to read.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch chitters happily as he rolls around will Aisling, though he occasionally and briefly breaks away to check that Siren still sleeps soundly.*

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn flipped through the pages. Surely this wont go wrong, right?

[ Said Book if anyone is curious ]

The last page was.. heartbreaking, to say the least. Reality mage - thats their magic, wasnt it? She was left with a sense of not only unease but confusion aswell.

Was- was it describing them in the future? Is she going to go insane? That isnt possible - she wouldn't, right?

She just needs to be careful, right?

Aisling temporarily stopped the play fight, as if sensing its rider's distress. She withdrew from Grimsnatch, headbutting Ashlyn's leg lightly.

. . . speaking of, Ashlyn glanced at the sleeping Siren- Tiefling? Siren, making sure they're still atleast somewhat alive. She'd have to do research about the book later if she wants to get answers.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren grumbles suddenly, starting to shift. Grimsnatch leaps onto the couch and worms his way into Siren’s arms.*

*Siren blinks his eyes open.*

*Out of nowhere, he yelps, accidentally falling off the couch as though spooked. Grimsnatch chitters chastisingly and worriedly.*

[dreamful-mage]

" Oh by the stars- you're awake! Good light- are you okay? „

Ashlyn seemingly jumped aswell from the sudden fall, shoving their predecessor book into their bag before getting up, offering a hand out to help them get up.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren stares at the fireplace, wide-eyed.*

Y-yeah… S-sorry…

I saw fire and… I just… I’m sorry…

*Grimsnatch rubs up against his legs, trying to comfort him. Siren tears his gaze from the fire, taking shaky breaths.*

…Sorry…

[dreamful-mage]

" Oh gods im sorry, I shouldn't have placed you here..- Do you want to go back to your own room? I dont think the common room is great and all- „

Ashlyn caught themselves before they started rambling again.

" You don't need to apologize- no! I should've known anyways. It's okay, you have nothing to apologize for. Come on, Lets go. Ill accompany you if you need it „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

It’s ok! You didn’t know… Besides, it’s just fire, I shouldn’t be so… scared of it… I’m sorry…

I-if you want to go back… sure… my room’s not very furnished, tho? …Sorry…

*Grimsnatch lays in his arms and chirps. Siren pets him with one hand, finding it to calm him.*

…It’s much better than it used to be… Before I had Grim…

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn fell silent. She doesn't really know what to say.

She grabbed Aisling, petting her before placing her back in the backpack

" I.. I see. Well im not going to force- I can stay here „

Their mind drifted back to the predecessor book. She needs answers

" I need to do some research in the library anyways. . . „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

Can I come to the library too?

*He’s calmed quite a bit, though his posture’s still a little tense. Grimsnatch nuzzles his fingers.*

[dreamful-mage]

" Sure! We can go about right now „

She quickly adjusted the straps of their backpack before giving a quick head tilt, inviting the Siren to come along

[dreamful-mage]

Um. Hello? I heard that you’re the dream manage, right?

*A half-siren shifts nervously at the doorway.*

…Would you happen to be able to do anything about insomnia? I understand if you can’t… I don’t mean to bother you…

*Grimsnatch rubs up against his legs, trying to comfort him. Siren tears his gaze from the fire, taking shaky breaths.*

…Sorry…

[dreamful-mage]

" Oh gods im sorry, I shouldn't have placed you here..- Do you want to go back to your own room? I dont think the common room is great and all- „

Ashlyn caught themselves before they started rambling again.

" You don't need to apologize- no! I should've known anyways. It's okay, you have nothing to apologize for. Come on, Lets go. Ill accompany you if you need it „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

It’s ok! You didn’t know… Besides, it’s just fire, I shouldn’t be so… scared of it… I’m sorry…

I-if you want to go back… sure… my room’s not very furnished, tho? …Sorry…

*Grimsnatch lays in his arms and chirps. Siren pets him with one hand, finding it to calm him.*

…It’s much better than it used to be… Before I had Grim…

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn fell silent. She doesn't really know what to say.

She grabbed Aisling, petting her before placing her back in the backpack

" I.. I see. Well im not going to force- I can stay here „

Their mind drifted back to the predecessor book. She needs answers

" I need to do some research in the library anyways. . . „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

Can I come to the library too?

*He’s calmed quite a bit, though his posture’s still a little tense. Grimsnatch nuzzles his fingers.*

[dreamful-mage]

" Sure! We can go about right now „

She quickly adjusted the straps of their backpack before giving a quick head tilt, inviting the Siren to come along

[dreamful-mage]

*A student sits in the Tigris common room while his red and black dragon plays on the carpet in front of him. He seems to be taking notes on the way she moves and behaves, with a few half-finished sketches tucked into corners of the notebooks pages.*

*Upon a further look, a small radius of corruption sits around the student. The tendrils lie mostly still, except for the one the small dragon is chasing and batting at.*

@death-flies-on-swift-wings

Ashlyn was about to go on another trip of going through the library when the student in particular caught their attention. She felt Aisling shrinking back in their backpack, giving themselves a small sense of unease.

It'll be rude to just ignore them - right? But the faint smell of corruption was around the nearby mage. Maybe it'll be okay if they just give a quick introduction and then run to the library...

" Hi! I haven't seen you around here! „

[dreamful-mage]

Um. Hello? I heard that you’re the dream manage, right?

*A half-siren shifts nervously at the doorway.*

…Would you happen to be able to do anything about insomnia? I understand if you can’t… I don’t mean to bother you…

@that-introverted-siren-boi

" Whos ther- oh hello!! „

Ashlyn waved as she turned to the doorway, smiling at the new guest

" Close enough, I'm a Reality mage but I think I have a spell for that if you're willing to try? Dont worry, you're bothering no one „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*He relaxes slightly and takes a few steps inside.*

Oh, that’s great, thank you… Yes, please…

[dreamful-mage]

" Alright, hold still. This might tingle a little bit „

Ashlyn sits down for a moment, letting Aisling out of their backpack. She then lets out a slow breath, pieces of a dream-like realm pierced through reality, hopefully lulling the siren near sleep.

[ Dreaming Aura has been activated for 60 seconds ]

Purple and white particles formed itself in a dome-like formation around the two of them. The area was completely silent, as if time itself slowed down.

[ For a moment, you feel as though you were enveloped with a wave of drowsiness. The magic invites you to momentarily rest ]

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks, surprised by the sudden sleepiness, then yawns wide.* S-sorry… wow…

Really eepy…

…strong magic…

[dreamful-mage]

" I can't really control how strong its effects are. Its actually my second time using this spell „

Ashlyn hummed, shrugging before clicking their tongue

" Oh wait I feel like an idiot, Whats your name, Siren? And dorm just in case you actually pass out.. „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks drowsily and settles on the floor, sitting for now but close to curling up. His eyelids grow heavy and start to sink shut.*

Mm. I don’t have one…

…Tigris, I think…

[dreamful-mage]

" Right, okay. Tigris. We're in the same dorm then. Ill just drop you off. Sleep for now, Siren- if you're comfortable with that nickname since apparently you dont even have a name.. „

Ashlyn started to hum a tune as the dome started to collapse - signalling an end to the spell that was casted.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren curls up with a comforted chirr, falling asleep.*

[dreamful-mage]

As the spell ended, Ashlyn was left with a curled-up Siren on the floor.

" By the Gods above, give me strength.. „

She muttered under her breath as she picked up the sleeping form, somewhat struggling to carry them back to the Tigris dorms. She'll just have to place them down on the couch once doing so.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren unconsciously cuddles closer to her in his sleep, a contented trill escaping him. He’s not as heavy as he looks, but he is a little awkward to carry, with his fins.*

*Despite being unconscious, he is adorably clingy.*

[dreamful-mage]

After a while, both of them managed to reach the common room of Tigris. Ashlyn carried Siren to the couch near the fireplace, setting them down on the cushions while being mindful of their fins.

Looking over, Siren did indeed become clingy to them. With a sigh, Ashlyn decided to stay around, rummaging through the collection of books in her ba-

Aisling.

She quickly perked up, looking around, only to see their fluffy dragon running through the dorm hall, pouncing into Ashlyn's arms

Yeah... she could be a bit forgetful sometimes. She just pets and tends to their little dragon, whispering apologies silently to the frightened baby dragon.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*At Aisling’s noises, Siren’s own dragon poles his head out of Sirens backpack with a sleepy yawn. He has black scales flecked with pale blue spots like stars or freckles.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling shrinked deep into Ashlyn's grasp before poking its head out. It sniffed lightly before hesitantly crawling out of her rider's arms, inspecting the other dragon with a cautious demeanor.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch sniffs at Aisling, before chirping in a friendly tone. He climbs out of the backpack fully, shaking out his wings.*

*He glances at the peacefully sleeping Siren, and chitters quietly, before returning his attention to the other dragon.*

Mrrp?

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling was somewhat startled, dipping its head before shaking its own wings, chirping back lightly.

- Mrr! -

Aisling decides to get closer, headbutting Grimsnatch in a friendly and curious gesture

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatchs chirps happily, head butting back gently. He nuzzles Aisling’s shoulder respectfully, refraining from nipping like he would with humans.*

*Gently, he bats a talon at Aisling’s face, inviting her to play.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling mimicked the action back before tackling Grimsnatch, initiating a play fight with the other dragon

Ashlyn hummed as she lets the two dragons bond, pulling out the book that she found last time along with the poison rot.

'Reality' by What Sanity Remains. Odd title, odd author. They started to read.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch chitters happily as he rolls around will Aisling, though he occasionally and briefly breaks away to check that Siren still sleeps soundly.*

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn flipped through the pages. Surely this wont go wrong, right?

[ Said Book if anyone is curious ]

The last page was.. heartbreaking, to say the least. Reality mage - thats their magic, wasnt it? She was left with a sense of not only unease but confusion aswell.

Was- was it describing them in the future? Is she going to go insane? That isnt possible - she wouldn't, right?

She just needs to be careful, right?

Aisling temporarily stopped the play fight, as if sensing its rider's distress. She withdrew from Grimsnatch, headbutting Ashlyn's leg lightly.

. . . speaking of, Ashlyn glanced at the sleeping Siren- Tiefling? Siren, making sure they're still atleast somewhat alive. She'd have to do research about the book later if she wants to get answers.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren grumbles suddenly, starting to shift. Grimsnatch leaps onto the couch and worms his way into Siren’s arms.*

*Siren blinks his eyes open.*

*Out of nowhere, he yelps, accidentally falling off the couch as though spooked. Grimsnatch chitters chastisingly and worriedly.*

[dreamful-mage]

" Oh by the stars- you're awake! Good light- are you okay? „

Ashlyn seemingly jumped aswell from the sudden fall, shoving their predecessor book into their bag before getting up, offering a hand out to help them get up.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren stares at the fireplace, wide-eyed.*

Y-yeah… S-sorry…

I saw fire and… I just… I’m sorry…

*Grimsnatch rubs up against his legs, trying to comfort him. Siren tears his gaze from the fire, taking shaky breaths.*

…Sorry…

Hello? Is anyone inside? I uh, sorta need some help.

-llightupthenight

Wrong blog buddy XD /lh

Redirecting to @dreamful-mage . . .

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn looks up from where she was sorting their items, waving at the new person in front of them

" Oh hey! New person? Need anything? „

[llightupthenight]

The other looks unsure.

Uh, hey. Sorry for knocking. I was wondering if you knew where the supposed "secret library" is. I wanted to go find some books for myself. Oh, and I'm Ether.

[dreamful-mage]

" Secret library? Oh sure! Give me a moment, let me just grab my dragon „

Ashlyn hummed as she quickly scooped up Aisling, placing her in their own backpack before slinging it over their shoulders

" Im Ashlyn, this fluffy guy on my back is Aisling. Nice to meet you Ether! Just follow me „

She started to walk to the library, humming a small tune

[llightupthenight]

They follow behind Ashlyn.

Oh, by the Hand's good grace, thank you so so much! I've been looking everywhere for it but I just couldn't y'know?

[dreamful-mage]

" Yeah this place is really large, not gonna lie „

Ashlyn chuckled, taking a few turns to the normal library.

" Here we are! Normal library, there should be some bookshelves around here we can just walk through to get to the secret library. It should have some sort of drop once you go through. Nothing too serious though! „

[llightupthenight]

Ether looks around skeptical.

Yeah, I've been in here. I can't believe all the times I've run through here looking for the secret library, it's been in the library after all.

He sighs.

I'm find with falls, no worries.

[dreamful-mage]

" Alright then, take a deep breath! „

They both reached the entrance of the secret library - bookshelves secluded into the walls. Ashlyn reached out before phasing straight through the shelves, jumping down. You can hear the sound of a water splash right after.

[llightupthenight]

Ether jumps right after, hoping they somehow don't miss the water and die.

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn saw Ether's form jumping into the water as she quickly scrambled out,shaking off the water from their boots onto the wooden floor

" It's safe! Watch for the cobwebs and such „

[dreamful-mage]

Um. Hello? I heard that you’re the dream manage, right?

" Close enough, I'm a Reality mage but I think I have a spell for that if you're willing to try? Dont worry, you're bothering no one „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*He relaxes slightly and takes a few steps inside.*

Oh, that’s great, thank you… Yes, please…

[dreamful-mage]

" Alright, hold still. This might tingle a little bit „

Ashlyn sits down for a moment, letting Aisling out of their backpack. She then lets out a slow breath, pieces of a dream-like realm pierced through reality, hopefully lulling the siren near sleep.

[ Dreaming Aura has been activated for 60 seconds ]

Purple and white particles formed itself in a dome-like formation around the two of them. The area was completely silent, as if time itself slowed down.

[ For a moment, you feel as though you were enveloped with a wave of drowsiness. The magic invites you to momentarily rest ]

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks, surprised by the sudden sleepiness, then yawns wide.* S-sorry… wow…

Really eepy…

…strong magic…

[dreamful-mage]

" I can't really control how strong its effects are. Its actually my second time using this spell „

Ashlyn hummed, shrugging before clicking their tongue

" Oh wait I feel like an idiot, Whats your name, Siren? And dorm just in case you actually pass out.. „

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Tiefling blinks drowsily and settles on the floor, sitting for now but close to curling up. His eyelids grow heavy and start to sink shut.*

Mm. I don’t have one…

…Tigris, I think…

[dreamful-mage]

" Right, okay. Tigris. We're in the same dorm then. Ill just drop you off. Sleep for now, Siren- if you're comfortable with that nickname since apparently you dont even have a name.. „

Ashlyn started to hum a tune as the dome started to collapse - signalling an end to the spell that was casted.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren curls up with a comforted chirr, falling asleep.*

[dreamful-mage]

As the spell ended, Ashlyn was left with a curled-up Siren on the floor.

" By the Gods above, give me strength.. „

She muttered under her breath as she picked up the sleeping form, somewhat struggling to carry them back to the Tigris dorms. She'll just have to place them down on the couch once doing so.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Siren unconsciously cuddles closer to her in his sleep, a contented trill escaping him. He’s not as heavy as he looks, but he is a little awkward to carry, with his fins.*

*Despite being unconscious, he is adorably clingy.*

[dreamful-mage]

After a while, both of them managed to reach the common room of Tigris. Ashlyn carried Siren to the couch near the fireplace, setting them down on the cushions while being mindful of their fins.

Looking over, Siren did indeed become clingy to them. With a sigh, Ashlyn decided to stay around, rummaging through the collection of books in her ba-

Aisling.

She quickly perked up, looking around, only to see their fluffy dragon running through the dorm hall, pouncing into Ashlyn's arms

Yeah... she could be a bit forgetful sometimes. She just pets and tends to their little dragon, whispering apologies silently to the frightened baby dragon.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*At Aisling’s noises, Siren’s own dragon poles his head out of Sirens backpack with a sleepy yawn. He has black scales flecked with pale blue spots like stars or freckles.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling shrinked deep into Ashlyn's grasp before poking its head out. It sniffed lightly before hesitantly crawling out of her rider's arms, inspecting the other dragon with a cautious demeanor.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch sniffs at Aisling, before chirping in a friendly tone. He climbs out of the backpack fully, shaking out his wings.*

*He glances at the peacefully sleeping Siren, and chitters quietly, before returning his attention to the other dragon.*

Mrrp?

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling was somewhat startled, dipping its head before shaking its own wings, chirping back lightly.

- Mrr! -

Aisling decides to get closer, headbutting Grimsnatch in a friendly and curious gesture

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatchs chirps happily, head butting back gently. He nuzzles Aisling’s shoulder respectfully, refraining from nipping like he would with humans.*

*Gently, he bats a talon at Aisling’s face, inviting her to play.*

[dreamful-mage]

Aisling mimicked the action back before tackling Grimsnatch, initiating a play fight with the other dragon

Ashlyn hummed as she lets the two dragons bond, pulling out the book that she found last time along with the poison rot.

'Reality' by What Sanity Remains. Odd title, odd author. They started to read.

[that-introverted-siren-boi]

*Grimsnatch chitters happily as he rolls around will Aisling, though he occasionally and briefly breaks away to check that Siren still sleeps soundly.*

[dreamful-mage]

Ashlyn flipped through the pages. Surely this wont go wrong, right?

[ Said Book if anyone is curious ]

The last page was.. heartbreaking, to say the least. Reality mage - thats their magic, wasnt it? She was left with a sense of not only unease but confusion aswell.

Was- was it describing them in the future? Is she going to go insane? That isnt possible - she wouldn't, right?

She just needs to be careful, right?

Aisling temporarily stopped the play fight, as if sensing its rider's distress. She withdrew from Grimsnatch, headbutting Ashlyn's leg lightly.

. . . speaking of, Ashlyn glanced at the sleeping Siren- Tiefling? Siren, making sure they're still atleast somewhat alive. She'd have to do research about the book later if she wants to get answers.
