Somewhere in Chibi Town

[Feng]

"Precisely" pipes up one of the Priests. "Plus Stone Beak's a jerk anyways. But anyways, we look to your wisdom oh Guardian of the Smoking One! Lead us to victory against this foul heretic!"

Blaze's soul drifts off steadily into the Astral Plane finding itself dragged into a gray mist.

[Blaze]

Blaze lets her soul wander.

[Feng]

::FOCUS!:: shouts the disembodied voice of Doc. ::You must not let your soul lazily float about the dream realm like mere flotsam or else you risk become truly lost!::

Blaze's soul finds itself in the middle of a barren wasteland. The faint echo of a didgeridoo permeates the air as a flock of strange 'birds' fly overhead.

::Welcome to the dream realm, exorcist:: says Doc appearing next to Blaze. ::Be cautious. Something seems to be off...::

[Blaze]

Blaze shakes her head and focuses as she arrives.

"Like what?"

[Feng]

"Its hard to describe... Yet it seems that the spiritual pressure has somehow lessened since last I walked here. Normally this realm is swarming with the souls of the Chibi dead, yet now...."

[Blaze]

Blaze thinks for a moment.

"Do the Chibi have any rituals or spells that require souls?"

[Feng]

"Sorcerers do, but nothing that would require souls of this magnitude... Even stranger, the Smoking One, psychopomp of the Chibi, is missing as well... This is curious."

[Blaze]

"Really? That cannot be good..."

Blaze looks around carefully.

"Oh...Ummm...." said Megan as she tries to think. "I-I-I think I need more information. Wh-wh-what can he do?"

[Feng]

"He is a powerful sorcerer from the long thought extinct Orca Tribe. Like any sorcerer he can conjure forth forces from the Dream Realm and has control over matter itself. Lately he has been rallying warriors from the various tribes claiming to be a prophet from the Smoking One. Yet we, his true servants, will not be fooled by this deception!"

In the distance the Exorcist might make out what appears to be a grayish 'tear' in the Dream Realm. What could it be?

[Blaze]

Blaze frowns and flies over to the tear, drawing a gun as she goes.

"Th-th-that is not good! I-I-I would ha-ha-have known about that," said Megan as she tilts her head a little bit and then blinked. "Th-th-though he uses ma-ma-magic. Th-th-that could be a problem. We ne-ne-need to see him."

[Feng]

"No! Its too dangerous! If he were to capture you, he could use your connection to the Smoking One to further his own goals!"

Its a portal! If Blaze were to gaze deep into its depths she would see a strange looking pyramid!

"Th-th-then what do you think needs to be do-do-done," said Megan as she looked at the chibi.
