🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸
"I am a dream who fell in love with a dreamer." Melinoe is a native of the dreamscape, an ethereal plane that has tenuous boundaries with both the material and spirit realms, for both dragons and spirits dream. Most have only a fleeting acquaintance with the dreamscape confined to mystifying interludes mostly forgotten upon awaking, and few can physically enter it. All residents of the dreamscape consider themselves oneiromancers, but on rare occasions, a dragon or spirit will be born with such talents, including the ability to enter - and alter - the dreamscape. Powers such as that come at a grave cost, however, for while dreams can't physically hurt most dreamers, those with the power to alter dreams can in turn be altered by them, can even be killed by them. Some residents of the dreamscape find amusement in the mortals and spirits who are either born with or teach themselves such powers, who flounder about the dreamscape and more often than not end up dead through accident or hubris. Others, Melinoe among them, take pity on those who find themselves lost and hunted across an unfamiliar and alien landscape and decide to mentor them. Morpheus was a young coatl child she mentored for a long time, teaching him to control and manipulate the landscape around him, to fight back against the nightmares that attacked him, and to even take bits and pieces of the dreamscape into the waking world. Under her tutelage, he survived and thrived into adulthood, and it was then that they discovered that their relationship had changed from teacher and student into something far more intimate. Unable to stand the thought of only being together in one realm, Morpheus used what she had taught him to pull her out of his dream and into his waking life, into the realm of dragons. There she assumed the form of a coatl like him, and their roles reversed, he now teaching her how to live as a dragon. Their explorations through the dreamscape led them to a place where the boundaries between material and ethereal were perilously thin, an island called Prufrock in the Starfall Isles. Concerned, they decided to travel there to warn the residents, so they packed up their hoard of dream objects and relocated to Prufrock. They were surprised to find spirits walking among the dragons - apparently Melinoe wasn't the only one who had moved through the barrier and assume a material form. Only the clan's exorcists took their dream warning seriously, however. Most of the island's inhabitants, both dragons and spirits, thought that the veil between the realms was perhaps a bit unstable due to the traffic between them but would hold against any large amount of spirits trying to break through. Morpheus and Melinoe took no pleasure in having been right when the barrier was breached by an inundation of hostile spirits who overwhelmed the island's residents. The two oneiromancers had been forewarned by their dreams, so they had already taken shelter in Lantern Port on the mainland and thus survived the attack unscathed. After the spirits had been driven back and the breach sealed as best it could be, they went back to the island to meet with the exhausted and demoralized residents, who finally agreed that some changes needed to be made. Several of the resident spirits resolved to depart from the island, and those who remained promised to limit their travel through the veil. Those with magical talent, both dragons and spirits, dedicated themselves to work with the exorcists to rebuild the barrier that divided the realms and help to more permanently seal it against malevolent spirits. For their part, Morpheus and Melinoe promised to patrol the dreamscape and search for weaknesses within it. They also offered to guard the dreams of any in the clan who wished for such protection. Mentally and emotionally scarred by the battle, several of the clan's residents took them up on their offer. The oneiromancers have found their closest friends in the meditation specialist Tamaloa and his mate Moanna. Though neither of them possess the ability to enter the dreamscape themselves, Morpheus and Melinoe have found their meditative techniques close to those they use to control their own dreams, and they have been experimenting with entering the dreamscape through meditation rather than through sleep. Melinoe and Moanna also share a love of pools, and between them they maintain both Tama's meditative pools and the clan's bathing and recreational pools. Original lore by Salathielly |
