THE SIXTH REALM: INDIGO — Travelling in light

At night, while her dragon body rested, she learned another way to travel.

Helio called it her body of light, the form in which she could move without carrying the weight of her wings. At first the journeys were brief. She would find herself on the Blue Planet, recognize a face or a path, and wake suddenly with excitement. With practice she could stay longer and remember her experiences when she woke.

She also visited the dragons’ village. She saw her parents, talked with Evarista, and rested beside Ernesto, as she had so often before leaving. She met Yaseee again, and other creatures who had shared her journey. Each visit left her with a new kind of gratitude in the morning.

The more present she was during the day, the clearer her dreams remained. Eating, walking, listening to the oak: these small acts accompanied her nighttime travels too.
