The wheat cracker with a dash of sea salt from near the dragon lands…..“Dragon!   The dragons are very very very dangerous.   They mean to destroy the dragons.   To force them away from any home-ome-ome.”“Do you want the first batch or should I?”  The changeling scraps the “Hidden Butter” onto the cracker and holds it up.  Zyr grabs it and scarfs it down.   “More!  Roar for more to get a score-ore-ore!”“You are excitable today.  Just a little.   I am still trying to gage the strength and if there are any after effects of these.   After all…. It is still an uncontrolled drug of sorts.” And he eats his cracker.“Nothing is happening!”“Patience.   The fun stuff happened when I fell asleep.”Like a child on the night before his birthday , Zyr leaps onto his bed and closes his eyes.Zig calmly wraps a blanket around his on the floor and closes his eyes…. Smiling and wondering if he will dream of the Frog mounted Fairy or something else.Zigland is flying through the clouds…. No not flying…. Floating in the clouds with a strong wind in his face.  The mountains are tall and rocky.  To one side of the mountains, a great dense forest is held back.  It is thick and with pine trees as tall as some of the buildings in Sharn. (the lower ones that is)  The other side of the mountains has a rocky and at times barren landscape.   Canyons and crags of orange and brown rock stand up proud from the ground.Then Zig spots something…. Within the mountain….. a flash of yellow light.   A flash of red light.  And blue.  Soon orange and green appear.  From each of these flashes streaking lines of said color spread out arching and twisting.  Sometimes they over lap but other times they seem to argue on the right-a-way.  A tentacle of color reaches out from these patterns and whips out at the swamps to the due west.It seems to latch onto the land and the five colors begin to spread out again….. along with a pulsing white line and pattern.  As Zig concentrates on it he hears distant laughter.  Is it Zyr or something else….?He awakens and sees a very unsettling smile on Zyr’s face.  He calls to his father and cries for his return.  Not a good trip Zig guesses so he closes his eyes once more and hopes to understand what he just saw.  He isn’t sure how, but he feels these visions will help his understanding of the strange land now known as New Water and The Hidden.Zig is floating once more.  Gentle winds this time but there is fog…. Thick fog with an unpleasant smell to it (smog?).  He knows there is water just below him.  Maybe all of twenty feet down.  It is dark….. the water is nearly black in color.  Thick trees with gnarled roots that push and lean the trees to odd angles grow here.  Vines hang.  Some even twitch and wiggle as if alive and impatient hang from these trees.The breeze picks up speed and power.  They swirl around him gently.  The water is now dark blue with bits of color mixed in.  Zig looks up and sees the stars copying this activity.  They swirl and move about as if on their own…. Like lightning bugs.Sensing motion below, the changeling looks down and sees reflective blackness rise from the water.  The higher it rises, the more blue and pure the water becomes.   The glass…. It is black glass….. much like Obsidian but flawless…. Reaches up into the sky around him.  Their bases enlarge and begin to merge creating a wall.   The glass is extremely sharp and strong.  On one side…. New Water….. the other The Hidden.Zig awakens in a startled state as Zyr calls out for Daddy once more but with force.   Fearing for him, the changeling rushes over to him.  “Zyr!  Zyr!  Wake up…… its okay!”Suddenly, the eyes of the lunatic sharpen and focus.  “Daddy?!?”Zyr sits on his bed sipping a tea Zig created from the local brand.  It is strong and awakens you quickly.  Though Zyr told Zig very little about his visions and promises, he remembers it all with vivid clearity he has not had in years.Blue Bead.  Red Bead.  Multi-colored beads swirl about the summoner like leaves caught in the wind.  The beads call out to you.  Each has its own voice and soul.  They swirl and begin to take a form.  Humanoid.  Strands of the beads wiggle like tentacles from the body of the brightly colored person.“Welcome child of chaos.  My world you are welcome to.  Welcome to your world.  Welcome to mine.  Welcome to Xoriat.”   The beads suddenly stop swirling and gesturing and seem to suddenly discover gravity.  They fall to the floor into a gentle mist.  They move about like a butter being churned then grasp his leg.  The beads of Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Orange begin to move up his leg towards his torso.In a fascinated state of fear and intense emotions, Zyr allows it.   The mass begins to cover his torso….“Give your father a hug.”Sipping his tea once more Zyr smiles to himself.  “Give your son a hug.”</blockquote>
