Sometimes these dreams are really hard. I mean, they were going great for a while there! A unicorn with all her centaur friends made us a big feast which was delicious and there was enough food for all of us even though Caramon was there because when Caramon is around there's usually not nearly enough food for everyone. But there was, and we all got to eat it and it was delicious!
And then we got to fly on the backs of these Pegasuses and it was wonderful. I'd never flown before in the dreams and I just loved it. At least until they put us to sleep. I tried not to fall asleep, but they insisted that I did because otherwise people might panic and fall off their backs but clearly they've never met a kender before because kender don't panic about anything.
And then when we landed we saw Goldmoon's home town and it was... nothing really all that interesting. In fact, there was nothing at all interesting until we found our ways into this swamp, and Flint and I scouted ahead and we might have got a little bit drunk we ran into even more draconians! Draconians are these creepy lizard people that turn into stone when you kill them. Anyway, Flint and I jumped into the swamp but everyone else got captured by the draconians! And then I pretended to be a dragon in order to free them all, and I got stuck in it's head and because everything was on fire Tanis had to chop off the head and I was really worried that they were going to chop off my topknot but it was all still there when they finally managed to get me out of the fake dragon's head.
And once we escaped from the draconian camp, we finally found Xak Tsaroth which was where we were planning on going because of Goldmoon's magical blue crystal staff, and we found a dragon.
Like, a real live breathing dragon! I thought that all the dragons got killed by Huma a really long time ago, but nope! There was one just hiding in this well in the middle of Xak Tsaroth.
But running into the dragon really wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Everything went dark, and then there was screaming, and when we could see again our friend Riverwind was lying there, and all the skin had been melted off his bones, and we could see inside him and it's really awful. He's still alive, which is even worse too. It's got to hurt so much. I think Tanis is going to end it though so he doesn't have to deal with that pain anymore.
For the most part, I really do like the dreams. It's so much more interesting than just going to sleep at night and not really doing anything. But I wish that the bad things that happened in them... didn't happen. And I don't know why all the really awful things have to come right after really great things like flying on flying horses and seeing a real life dragon for the first time.
