"Good night!" Ophelia called. She watched as Oasis climbed into a tree. Snow turned to Ophelia and said, "I will show you the Healer's Den. Come," Snow motioned with her tail to follow. Ophelia noticed that Snow's tail-tip was a tuft of fur.
They entered the den that was almost hidden by lichen. Rows of stone shelves were on either side of the walls. The whole place smelled of honeysuckle. A Dragon on the far side of the room was sorting out some yarrow. "That's Oak Tree that Gives Acorns, also known as Oak. He's the medicine Dragon and always looks terribly busy," Snow introduced. In a louder voice she called, "Oak! We've got a visitor! Can we make her a little den in here?"
"Yeah, sure whatever. Fresh bedding's in the back," Oak replied. His voice was graggly, probably because he was thirsty and overworked.
"Hang on a moment," Ophelia whispered to Snow. She whisped over to Oak and grabbed some moss. In a moment, she rehydrated it and ordered, "Oak, come over here."
"Yeah?" Oak asked. Ophelia handed him the wet ball of moss. "Thank you," Oak smiled gratefully. He squeezed the water out of it and into his mouth.
"Your welcome," Ophelia replied. Oak indicated with his tail to a corner that had some fresh bedding. Ophelia and Snow grabbed some of the bedding and quickly made a soft bed.
Snow left before Ophelia could say another word. Oak was still busy sorting leaves as Ophelia examined the bed. It was made of feathers, moss, and leaves. But... what was missing?
Then Ophelia knew. She took a deep breath and slowly let it out, showering the nest with soft snow. Ophelia curled up in the bed and sighed deeply. Her eyelids got heavy, and the sound of the crickets lulled her to sleep.

Ophelia had strange dreams during the night. Whispering voices told of mysterious prophesies to the Moon Dragoness. She couldn't remember many of the strange dreams, but there was one that was as vivid as though it really happened:
Ophelia bumped into a Thunder Dragoness named Zsa Zsa (pronounced Shja Shja) who offered something in a hushed whisper. Soon, Ophelia, Oasis, and about four other Dragons were traveling to a cave in the largest of the Mysinean Mountains.
There they traveled for a long time through a winding maze, of which tunnels changed. Eventually they entered into a cave filled with colored lights, showering the whole place with pink, purple, blue, and yellow.
Ophelia's eyes turned to a shadow stretching from the floor. Her eyes traced it to a tall, catly figure. It's eyes opened, sending two green shafts through the shadow. Ophelia gasped as the cat opened it's mouth to speak, and it said...
"Hey! Wake up! It's time for breakfast!" Ophelia blinked once, and she was back in the Healer's Den in the Tribe of Hybrid's clearing. It wasn't the cat figure in the dream that spoken; it was Scree Where Eagles Nest. The little gray Dragon was nudging Ophelia with his nose. "Do you want to be hungry on your journey home?"
Ophelia coughed and said, "Oh, I'll be out in a moment." Scree left the room, flicking his tail at Ophelia.
The Moon Dragoness stretched luxuriously. Her aquatic tail-tip sent the snowflakes on her guest bed dance in the air.
She walked to the entrance. In the clearing, she saw the little Dragons playing with some tangled vine balls while the elders were talking to themselves. The queens were nuzzling their chicks to eat some of the prey.
Ophelia then noticed Oasis talking to Quicksand that Traps the Unwary. She shyly approached them.

((For those who do not know, the term 'queen' applies to expecting mothers, or mothers whose offspring are too young to leave the nursery. It originates in the Warriors books by Erin Hunter.))
Oasis turned around to look at Ophelia and smiled.
"Well, good morning, sleepyhead! You're just in time for breakfast! I found this monster of a marblemelon, wanna share it?"
Oasis indicated a basketball sized, apple shaped fruit. It was purple and yellow, patterned like marble stone.
Quicksand that Traps the Unwary grinned a knowing grin. He could read anywhere within the past six hours of someone's life from looking at their eyes, and he saw the dream that Ophelia had. He said a silent prayer in his head.
'May the Tribe of Eternal Light guide you.'

Ophelia stared at the fruit. She had some of it before in scones (and once in tea) she bought from the Blue Melon, a bakery in the Bubble Dragon Kingdom. But she had never tasted Marblemelon before on its own. So she looked at Oasis and grinned, "Sure."
She and Oasis sat down to eat. The Marblemelon was a very sweet fruit with a smooth texture. It's flavor reminded her a little of strawberries and bananas. "It's delicious!" The Moon Dragoness complemented. She smiled at Oasis and continued eating.
She decided to start a conversation. Ophelia turned to Oasis and asked, "Have you ever been to the Blue Melon before?"

"Blue Melon? I've seen melons in many colors, but never blue. What does it taste like?"
Oasis, having been born and raised in the Tribe, had never been to a city before except in dreams, in which she would see hybrid children who needed a place to live, or were abused. She would then tell Quicksand that Traps the Unwary about who she saw, and where they were. That was the only time she had ever seen a city.

Name: Ko Nyr
Gender: Male
Species: Anthro Skyeel
Physical Features: Looks like a large moray eel covered with red, snake-like scales. He has no legs, only grasping claws where his front legs would be-the renmants of an atrophied hand. He has yellow eyes with vertical slit pupils.
Characteristics: Like all skyeels, Ko Nyr is able to fly, even though he has no wings. Personality-wise, Ko Nyr is slightly agressive, but otherwise calm and non-talkative.
___________________
Ko Nyr slept while drifting through the sky. To skyeels like him, sleeping on the "wing" was a usual practice, seeing as his species almost never touched the ground.

Ophelia laughed softly. "No, silly! The Blue Melon is a bakery in a small Bubble Dragon Town, the town of Jabberwocky. It has some delicious pastries and teas you can buy with some Gallions." Ophelia took another bite from the melon.
She thought for a moment. Should I take Oasis to Jabberwocky? It may take a few days' travel, and we'd have to cross the Ante Sea, but I'd like her to meet a friend of mine and explore the town.
Ophelia nodded to herself. Turning back to Oasis, she politely asked, "Would you like to come with me on a journey to the little town of Jabberwocky? It may take a few days' flight, but I'd like you to see a friend of mine and take you to the Blue Melon."

"I'd love to! Sounds like fun. Since I tried that tea the other night, I've been craving more of the city-folk's cooking."
Oasis plucked a large leaf from an overhanging tree and wiped the pink juice off her mouth.

Ophelia smiled, but her grin faded when she warned Oasis, "It'll take a few day's journey there and back, plus we'd need to cross the Ante Sea."
Just then, Zefful came up to them. His lincoln green shoes pounded on the sandy ground. "What's this about city food?" He asked gruffly. "I happen to have taken lessons in the city of Jabberwocky on how to bake some pastries that townsfolk eat. I can gather ingredients out here and I'll cook you tonight's dinner. I'm going too."
Ophelia was a little uncertain on why Zefful would want to come with them; the firey dwarf hated travel. But Ophelia knew from experience that when Zefful makes up his mind, there's no arguing with him. The Moon Dragoness turned to her hybrid friend and asked, "Is there someone you'd like to take with us? We can leave first thing tommorow."
