I went outside to see what the racket's about. I saw Icy, screaming and sleep-walking, "STORM? WHERE ARE YOU?". I had to do this, so I landed on her shoulder. Still sleeping. I squeezed her with my talons. "Ow! Was I dreaming? Storm?" Icy looked around. I hooted and flew in front of her face. "Come on in!" I hooted. I flew into the log. Icy followed and sat on a mushroom. I quickly explained what happened (repeat what Researcher said in that other post). (Icy's turn now.)

"But...Terrene Travelers?" I ask. Researcher nods. "That's the theory." I think he said...? I'm not good at talking Racoon. "So how do I get back?" I ask. Researcher sighs. "You wood hat two hut yourself." I think is what he said. You would have to hurt yourself?

"Well I don't want to be here." I suddenly say. "I don't care about any stupid Terrene Traveling. I just want to go home."

Everyone is silent.

I study a mushroom to keep my eyes away from them. I stare at the flat mushrooms and quick, suddenly, I hear a song in my head. It begins "Flat and colorful, meek yet wise, secrets worth remembring..."

"Long ago, lost forever, two will become one..." Is the final verse. It's almost like a poem. "Icy? Um, Icy?" Storm asks. "Huh?" I realise my eyes were closed and open them. Researcher clears his throat. "Erm, so-" Just as hes beginning to speak I interrupt.

"Storm, theres people, they have power over us. They controll us as we are a story on paper. They can fix the powers they can-" I begin to say. "Slow down a bit, Icy. I can't tell what you're saying."

I sigh. This is going to be long. 

After I heard the first few lines of her repeat, I stopped her. "We know. We all met our so called creators too.""You can't stop the Terrene Traveling from happening. It comes to you through dream magic. Since you want to go home..." Researcher stopped a moment to snuffle through the pile of things on the table mushroom. He took a bark card from the pile and handed it to Icy. "If you have any questions or troubles, contact me." He handed out another one to me and Wiseowl. It says:

Dr. Researcher Ph.D. Terrene and Dream Magic Studies  

The Rotting Log near Bog & Burrow.

Icy started to look tired, but she was just sleeping some minutes ago! Actually, more like sleepwalking. "She's about to Terrene Travel again. I'm afraid she might be a bit grumpy when she wakes up. Who knows what she might experience in the otherworld?" Researcher chittered.

~Wiseowl

"Icy!" I shout. She runs ahead. "Icy, wait!" I catch up and shake her. Icy wakes up. "Icy, I know how you feel. Once I consulted you now you should consult me. I felt just how you feel now. But my creater, Sophia, said some very wise words. Mabye they don't control us. Mabye the magic of Kyngdom gets to them and makes them write our story." She looks blank. I sigh. "Look, this is complicated, but you have to acept that you are you. No one controls you and especialy not some human from a magicless realm. Even if they are story tellers." Her face stays blank. It takes me a moment to relize that she is still asleep. "Icy." I panic. What if she never wakes up. "Icy!"

I suddenly collapse. My eyes... they close. I hear a voice...Wiseowl? "I don't want to be a...Terrene Traveler." I murmur before losing conciousness.

Frost is all over the window..Like cold, white fingers. "Hello?" I hear a voice call. "Brian?" I see someone shuffling around, calling his name. It's a woman. And she...her eyes...they look like mine. She's strawberry blonde, and...Is this my mother? "Brian..." she says. Suddenly a door opens. "I joined the B.I.G.," a man says. "It's the only way to make the animals PAY for what they did to you," he says. "But-they didn't do anything bad, it was good-"

Then I am zapped out of this Bizarre dream and am in a dreamless sleep. 

~Wiseowl

All I can think about as I pace my room is Icy. She had continued sleepwalking after I found out that she was still asleep. I had grabbed her and locked her  in my room with me where she is still sleepwalking. Finally she begins to stir.

The transitions between the posts were sort of confusing to me. Can this be it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Icy ran slowly away from the log, sleepwalking. She obviously was tired.

Wiseowl and I decided to bring the sleepwalking Icy to Wiseowl's place. We didn't want her to wake up lost. Wiseowl was pacing back and fourth. When Icy started to stir, Wiseowl burst out, "You're alive! We thought you were dead!". Icy wakes up and looks around with a confused look on her face. "You must've been tired. I think we should head back to Capto Ablore you have been gone for a long time." I hooted. Icy muttered something under her breath, then in a louder voice said, "Capense is going to kill me."

"Split in two...The world is split in two.." I murmur. Two sides. One of Kyngdom, one of this wretched place. I'm talking to Anwen on one side..But on the other... I shake my head, confused. "Icy?" WiseOwl and Storm ask at the same time.

It's hurting me. To be in two places at once. Oh well, I never wanted to be a Terrene Traveler. Just plain old Icy. To be a Guardian is enough stress... I realise that I was murmuring that to myself. I take out my small knife from my pocket and slash my leg with it.

Then I dissapear in a flash of light, gone from one world. 

I screeched. Why had Icy hurt herself. Did she want to go the Parallel world? I checked the clock. I hooted in alarm. The team to go into the tunnels is about to start. I got my stuff, applied a healing berry on the wound, and told Wiseowl to take care of her. I needed time to take in all the information.

I'm finally back in Kyngdom. Finally in one world instead of some.... Planet Earth/America. Strange. Can't anyone decide on one name...

My eyes flitter feebly open. "What did you do!?" Storm screeches. "I came back to Kyngdom, and out of..that world." I murmur.

"I don't want to be a Terrene Traveller anymore." I say quietly. 

~Wiseowl

I need to check on some thing. The book is at my bedside. I say the magical words and am transported to the other world. But not before morphing into an owl. I'm in a field. And a park. I spot Sophia on the swings with another girl, singing. I smile. She and I have a lot in common. I fly to the nearest tree and hoot softly to her.

~Sophia

I instantly spot Wiseowl. "I think I'd better stop," I told my friend Jessica. "I'm getting a little dizzy." I mouth to Wiseowl, Follow me. I run to a tree that is mostly out of site. "Um, hey!" I say to Wiseowl. "Hey!" she says back. "SOPHIA!!!" Jessica yells. "ONE MINUTE!" I yell back. Wiseowl has worry on her owl face. "What is this place?" she asks. "School." I shrug. "The playground. Why?"  "Everyone seems so happy." She sounds a bit sad. "Trust me," I laugh bitterly. "There are a lot more problems in this world then what lets on. Anyway, why did you come?" "To check on you. And to ask you some thing." She sighs. " Icy, right?" "How did you-" she starts. Then grins. "Oh right. Well, how exactly do you get these ideas?" I shrug again. " The idea just comes to my mind and starts becoming clearer and clearer as I focus on it. Details start spinning and connections start happening. I can collect a lot of the story to my life. That is probably why I'm your creator." Her face brightens. "Oh okay well I should probably-" " SOPHIA!" Jessica yells again. "Get going. I know. Go tell Icy. See you whenever. Bye!" She nods and takes off.

Hey guys! This is a non-character moment. Shout out to all of the terreene travelers (or whatever you call them). I think the creators should get together, storywise of course. Like, if we do something together maybe something will happen out of the ordinary. Just an idea! Consider it and let me know.
