The Valkyrie is unphased by Delia's wicked cheer. Aurelleah, however, is wound up further. "I like her!" The Pearlcatcher smiles as she bounces beside the Guardian. Their energy is rubbing off on one another. Arwyn just looks bored as Aurelleah continues, "can we keep her? She can be on the alchemy board with Sandstone and Jade and-,"
"-no," Arwyn sighs deeply over the enthusiastic babbling. '
It's like herding a cluster of felines.' She muses to herself. She's never really liked cats. However, despite the clashing personalities, the Valkyrie loves her people as if they were her own children. She can't help the little smile that creeps onto her lips as she looks down on the Pearlcatcher. "Come, good Dellia. I will show thee the way."
The massive Guardian turns towards the towering castle. In the night sky, the beacon shining from the top of the brilliant building shines for miles around. Icaria crowns the realm like a pure and glittering gemstone. She leads Delia through the quiet castle gates and through the large courtyard. "It is easy for one who is not certain to get lost within this castle," she warns, "stay close to me, my good companion."
Nicholas never thought a day would come where he would actually have an opportunity to do this, but his window is there and he seizes it childishly. As Hypnos mourns and beats himself up the prince grabs a nearby book. Quietly he approaches the god and with a frown he hits Hypnos over the head with it. "Pull yourself together!" He cries. "I never gave up even after centuries of your silence! You are not going to give up on yourself now. I won't allow it!"
Nicholas tosses the empty book aside and crosses his arms. His eyes are burning with determination, and he looks quite intimidating despite his natural gentle appearance. "Now," he decides, "why would all of these be blank? We have to figure this out,
together."

He sniffles and rubs his head. He hiccups. "I don't know. My powers are so.. drained." He looks up, his hands limp in front of him. "The snow won't slow down my powers either, I'm using the snow to prevent death and more hunger." He slowly stands. He's actually.. scared of the human. He leans over him, casting his shadow. "No-one has the ability to enter minds and dreams to wipe them out. I only have that." He whispers and looks around, gently rubbing his arms. He walks. "It doesn't make sense. The Artifacts are still here.. but their lore isn't there.. It's all been
blanked."
He hesitates to move his head to look at Nicholas. He then looks down. "I do.. not know. It's something I don't know. I have no clue whats going on. These are my memories, why aren't they working?" He goes to the nearest artifact and places his tan hand onto it. "I know this is the Doomsday Device." A small red and black sphere hovers. A gold light is blinking slowly within it. "And the sword over there is what Helios slayed the creatures of darkness with.."

Delia looked up to the guardian standing tall and regal as they both walked through the castle halls. She was awe-struck, bending her neck all around examining the open courtyard.
"This place is far more open than I'm used to...back home things were claustrophobic due to us having to build on the cliffs themselves. Even in the Wyrmwound, the skies were noxious and not as open like here..."
She held out the inky black vial and peered into its black liquid.
"Its nice here. Our home may have settled in the Tangled Wood, but who says we can't spend some time here."

Arwyn smiles, pleased and flattered by the praise of her beloved city. She continues walking with Delia through the main hall. The castle is decorated with gold, ivory, and built from beautiful marble. "Thou art welcome in our kingdom for as long as thou likest," she promises, "we are more than happy to have good company. It's been too long since our kingdom was filled with life. Our gates are open to the people of Yonder."
As the Valkyrie talks, the two dragons continue to walk through the breathtaking castle. Delia is led through massive hallways, past the beautiful throne room, down halls of white marble and doors of solid white oak, but finally, they arrive at the doors of the truly impressive library. "When we built the dragon-sized castle," Arwyn explains, "we did so while preserving some of our normal sized rooms and homes. Nicholas' private room is here in the library somehow."
"Delia!" Suilil's familiar voice echoes throughout the chambers of the archives. The Pearlcatcher lays in a guarding position in front of a small, human-sized room that is tucked into the wall. Nicholas is in his original bed. The sight brings a softness to Arwyn's features. It's a sight she has not seen in a very, very long time.
Nicholas winces subtly. He does actually feel a little bad for how he managed to snap the weak god from his distracted state. Awkwardly, he pats the dragon's head in an attempt at a soothing gesture. "These books are your memories?" He asks gently. "Well, then, we'll just have to find a way to jog your mind back into gear. You
have been asleep for awhile, you said?" He prompts. "It's probably because of how you've overworked yourself, good Hypnos. You must return to the waking world. Have Suilil help you and get rest. People still count on you!"

(whoop u forgot he's in human form lol I said it before)
He sighs frustrated already with repeated words. "Look, Nicholas. Maybe this isn't getting to you." He turns, his eyes bore into his skin. "I am going to die if I switch back to Suilil. I am too weak. I am starving." He takes out his bun and ruffles his hair in hopes to calm him down. His hands and arms slap down onto his side and he looks up. "You'll just have to try to wake up." He places his hands onto Nicholas's shoulder. "We'll find something to wake you up."
He releases him and turns his head to look around and sits down suddenly. He crosses his legs and beckons him to sit in front of him. "I'm going to meditate." Hypnos murmurs and closes his eyes.

"Suilil!!"
Delia holds up the vial and spins the inky black contents around, her redeyes lit up as she giggled softly at the craftsmanship of the brew.
"Look!
This time, it'll work. I know it! Quickly, to Nicholas."
She darted to Suilil and clutched the vial in both hands, eagerly tapping her large hooked claw against the floor. The blight nymph had grown comfortable around the guardian, gently swaying side to side on her horns and occasionally chirping with the same passion its patron had.

The massive Guardian merely shakes her large head as the Blight Nymph swings joyfully on her elegant horns. She smiles softly as the familiar swings with the movements of her head.
Suilil greets the Wildclaw with a friendly bump of their snouts. The sight of the sickly black brew fills her with unimaginable joy. She peers into the vial. Her vivid green eyes are full of curiosity and life. "Come, come! Nicholas is here resting, but he can be fed." She promises. Quietly, the Pearlcatcher kneels beside her Prince. Her paws are so large compared to his small, human body, but she so gently lifts him so he sits up in her hand. His head tilts back and his lips slightly part.
As Hypnos meditates, Nicholas leaves the god to his peaceful state. The prince browses the library. While the books are barren, the artifacts remain. He wanders through the labyrinth, careful not to touch anything he doesn't own.

He suddenly comes back. "Nicholas! They're moving you!" He shouts and quickly gets up. He trips at first but recovers quickly. He places his hands onto his knees and wheezes. "You're going to find me, right? When you recover?" He looks up, his white eyes blink slowly.
He looks around, the dreamscape slowly crumbles into a black void. A white platform appears beneath them. He shakes his head slowly and kneels. "R-Right friend?" He whispers.
