<Too long have I rested below the world. I am the wish granter. I am losing my magic. I need to pass the powers on to another.> As I glided through the Dreamscape of the people of Earth, I found what I was looking for. A fifteen year old girl who und erstood the power of dreams. She was dreaming of an anthropomorphic dragon and a green Feline also in human form. In the background, two human males were fighting. One with blue hair, the other brown. The world was that of a tropical island. The drago n was one RyuKitsune, god of flame, pleasure and philanthropy of the Anubisian Pantheon. He was a proud warrior with a kind and gentle heart and the husband of Harindya, whom I had met before in my travels in Furcadia. The Feline was Pelrinor, the husban d of one of Ryuºs friends and admiral of Astral Spacestation, where Ryu was Chief of Security. I entered the dream and spoke to her in a calm, soothing voice. Her dream self was broken out of the bliss she was in when she saw the huge avian winged creatu re, half spider, half elf, like a Pegator except with a spider instead of a horse and an elf instead of a human
»Do not be afraid of me.¡
»What are you?¡ The girl cried out.
»I am a Dreamwalker. We are magical creatures that have the power to make the dreams of mortals come true. I have come to grant you your greatest desire.¡
»To find a way to be with Joe without breaking Jonºs heart?¡
»Yes. And also to be served by RyuKitsune and Pelrinor as Harindya and Shay Aggoness are. And also for the Furres of Furcadia to walk the Earth once more.¡ Furres are anthropomorphic versio ns of some of the animals who walk the Earth now. They lived on Pangea, in the country of Furcadia. All but a couple of them were destroyed when the first age of magic ended.
»How did you know of that? I never told anyone of that, not even Jon or Joe.¡
I just smirk and and begin to intone the spell that would grant her wishes:
And with that she awoke. The world looked distinctly different. In the darkness she could see two dark shapes. The top of one touched the ceiling and the other was the size of a normal man. She turned on the light. She was still in her room. The pur ple walls and bed sheets greeted her, along with the stuffed cabbit (a synthesis of a rabbit and a cat,) that Jon had sent her for Christmas. The animal, which she had named Joe-Ohki after her boyfriend, smiled up at her and then hopped away. Being mostl y asleep, she didnºt question this. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she was given a view of the shapes, revealing who they were. The tall one was RyuKitsune, husband of Harindya again. The normal sized one was Pelrinor, Husband of Shay Aggoness and admiral of Astral Spacestation. It wasnºt a dream. She just had time to glance around her room, noting the posters with Furre and Demi-Furre rockstars in place of her normal ones before her mom her mom called out »Honey, Time to get up!¡
<I donºt want to leave my nice warm bed.>, she thought sourly. As if sensing this thought, RyuKitsune took her form and got dressed. When »she¡ came out of the bathroom, »she¡ went downstairs and later went to school. Meanwhile at home, the girl put o n a bath robe and thought <I wonder what that creature meant when he said he had a way to be with Joe without breaking Jonºs heart. Maybe one of them knows. Better get on the phone with them.>

In a flash, Jon and Joe appeared at her feet. They both spoke at once.
»Shay!¡ Joe ran to embrace her while Jon lagged behind. Meanwhile the wheels in Shayºs head were turning. <Hm... If they were one being, the choice wouldnºt be so hard. But how to accomplish that?...Duh! The answer is staring me in the face! I knew w atching Dragon Ball Z was a good idea. I will fuse them into one person using the Kai Earrings fusion method.> »Come here, you two.¡ Jon walked over and sat next to her. She held out her hands and concentrated. A pair of earrings, one in each hand appea red. They were clip on and had blue balls on the end. She put one Jonºs left ear and the other on Joeºs right ear. They were pulled together as if by magnets and instead of colliding, they imploded and a cocoon of light formed around the tiny point of l ight that remained. Hours later, not two emerged, but one. As she had hoped, they had fused into one being.
»Shay, we are Jone.¡ The being spoke. His hair was divided diagonally into four spots. Two were navy blue and the remaining pair were the brown of Joeºs hair. Part of one of each was visible from the front. His eyes were blue and glowed gently. He wa s slightly muscular and had a happy smile on his face.
<The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.> Shay thought.
Just as Shay was about to embrace the being, she heard the front door slam and in walked Ryu. He took his own form and want back into the corner.
Just then a siren went off. »Ryu, what is going on?¡
»A bank is being held up, mistress. By a woman with a magical staff that casts Polymorph spells.¡
A voice in her head told her that this was another DreamWalker and that she could stop her. Shay knew, somehow, that it was the voice of the strange creature. She and Ryu warped to the bank. Shay thought about becoming Shay Aggoness, in form and in powe rs. There was a flash of light and when cleared, she stood as a six foot Phoenix, dressed in skin tight plastisteel (a synthesis of plasticºs flexibility and steelºs resistance to damage,) body armor that fit on her ample frame perfectly and wielded a white glowing short sword. The people on the street were slightly shocked at this, but they were now used to the shape shifting Furres and Demi-furres that took human form.
Shay charged into the bank and launched a fireball at the other woman. The woman dodged it and then charged at her and looked into her eyes. Suddenly the illusion shattered and the other woman's true form was revealed. She looked just like the one who gave Shay her powers except her face and expression was that of a crazed, sociopath instead of a kind guardian and she had draconic wings as opposed to the Avian wings of the good creature. As they fought, the world around them changed. Everything but th em was in stark black and white and what colors things were kept changing as if the black and the white were fighting. One minute all of the dead bodies on the floor were white and every thing else was black. The next, darkness had claimed the bodies, bu t light had gained a foothold on the counter. With every step Shay took, things were viewed from a different perspective. Ryu stood, watching the fight and waiting for his mistress to call him to battle. The Creature struck and all of the white vanished . It was as if all the surfaces of the bank, the counters, the windows the dead bodies all over the floor had been painted black. Shay countered with her sword and the black immediately changed to white. Time froze and in the white-painted world, the Dre amWalker appeared next to her.
Shay looked fearfully at the large creature. She just stared at him for a while, and then spoke in a hesitant voice »Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Will I become like that?¡
The voice of the DreamWalker spoke again. »Only if you let the powers control you. As long as you have a strong will and a noble heart, you will be fine.¡
»How long will I live?¡
»As long as you wish to live¡
Time resumed and the Dreamwalker disappeared. The woman had stopped in her tracks. She knew this was her chance. She started a spell of sealing. The woman seemed to be coming out of her trance. The woman had time to take one step before the white lig ht of the sealing closed around her, forming a crystal of light. Smaller and smaller the crystal shrunk until it was as small as a normal quartz crystal. Shay then took her sword and shattered the stone, breaking it into millions of pieces. A portal ope ned under the pieces and teleported them into a safer place. Shay looked around. Most of the guards, tellers and costumers were either dead with their hearts ripped out or dead as animals with their hearts ripped out. Most of the animals were sheep, bu t a few of them were the white, fluffy seals and wart hogs that inhabited Azaroth It seemed the gods had a sense of irony...either that or the woman had been playing too much WarCraft II.
Shay concentrated and those dead as humans were fully healed and then brought back to life and those dead as animals were returned to human form, healed, given clothes and then restored to life.
Seeing that she was done here, she warped, disappearing into a cloud of black feathers. She went home. Home to her nice warm bed. Home to the warm loving arms of Jone. But she knew that she would have to leave soon. Because strange creatures would be coming after her. Others that had been granted the power of a DreamWalker and had fallen to its will. Beings that wanted her soul for one reason or another. She didnºt want her friends hurt because of her. She would pack her stuff, get some stuff fo r Jone and take her new family away. Away from any place where others might be hurt in her fight.
<Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But if you can keep your mind, your will and your heart clean of any hatred you can survive.>
She was brought out of her thoughts by Jone, who picked her up in his newly strong arms and was lightly kissing her neck. She smiled and started to purr.
<Iºm going to like this job.> Shay thought as she slipped into the world of ecstasy.
