"mmmmmm," I try to roll over and get more comfortable, but I can't seem to move, oh well I think as I settle back into a nice dream, I don't hear a baby crying so it must not be time to get up yet. A shriek penetrated my dream, but as it is not that of a baby I give a little shrug and settle back into the dream.
Suddenly I fall forward, not a baby crying, but I do remember the well known "always wake up before you land" rule and open my eyes hoping that someone (maybe that cute guy in my dream) will catch me. Alas, it is not to be.
I blearily look around and then I notice some very strange things. Uh, lets see, I think as I tick off on my fingers, we've got an imp, an elf, Kiya, DQueen, some kinda angel/winged thing, a... at this point I do a double take and finally speak out loud, "A half demon? Must be Nero. I never knew half demons could be so cute. I always pictured them a little more, you know, crusty or something. Anyway, I'm Hypatia, greetings to one and all."
I finally get around to looking at myself. Good gracious! No wonder I was so comfortable. These robes/garments are so soft and beautiful. And perfectly accessorized why, I reach up to my hair and feel a matching headpiece, sans veil, I'll have to thank Lynn and Lar for...no wait, perfect accessories, that would be Lynn for such thoughtfulness. Then I notice the little golden book and sit right down to give it a once over. After all, the imp has obvious magical powers, I wonder what I got.
