I turned around and saw George and Arthur staring at my parents in disbelief. He walked up to us and bowed, but my father told him to rise and embraced him. I asked him how he was there, and Arthur told us that at the moment, our hands are interlocked in the real world, so I brought him into my dream with my magic. My father's tone shifted from jovial to worried at the mention of magic.
George noticed and asked him if he knew what happened in that ballroom, and he told us that after I stormed out of the room, a young man walked in with Paul. He raised his hands and cast a spell that made every guard's eyes develop a red reflective cataract. He then turned to him and told my father that he was to suffer as he did. He told us that my power was the only thing that could destroy the sorcerer.
We told him that we were going to find Merlin and ask him for help, but he was extremely against it. When George asked why, he didn't give us a clear answer. He told us to go to Ceres and get Elizabeth's help. George asked if he was the same person from 3 years prior, but he remained silent and George told him that since he's passed, he would become my guardian until we arrived in Ceres. The atmosphere became icy. We heard Donatello's voice and knew it was time to go, so we all hugged out the tension and woke up.
I sat with George as he kept watch and he told me that he'd teach me basic self-defense, and that we were going to find Merlin.
