Toby stands before Browny, the large brown bear staring him down, and then biting into his shirt, using that grip to hoist Toby over and onto his back with ease. The one eyed bear seems to possess some degree of intelligence, and understood what Toby wanted to do.
The bear starts walking, moving through the short grass at a speed that wasn't very impressive. Toby wanted him to go faster, but was too scared to ask. So the teenager held onto his excitement, knowing that this was the beginning of a hopefully epic adventure.
The pair went about twenty meters forward, before something strange begins to happen. The world around them starts to get distorted, almost like they were crossing over an invisible barrier that seperated two worlds, and at the other side, was a familiar sight.
Toby Robinson: Yep, this is definitely the dream world. (Toby said as he looks up at the sky of many colours, a smile appearing on his face)
Now out of his domain, the world around them is constantly changing once again, but now Toby knows why.
Basing his reasoning on how his domain works, Toby is able to come to the conclusion that the dream world is actually a collection of hundreds, or maybe even thousands of domains, the actual number is irrelevant, it's the size of each domain that decides how long it will take for it to change, because with each domain having different sizes, they also have different environments, creating the world that the young dreamer is traversing today.
Toby now finds himself in a rocky area, with several mountains off in the distance, this tells him that this domain must big, bigger than the previous ones at least. So he decides roam around here for a bit, trying to see what he can find.
Toby Robinson: I'm supposed to finding and taming more dream beings. But this world is still so confusing to me, I don't even know where I'm going! (Toby said in frustration)... (Sighs) Got any ideas, Browny (Toby asks the bear)
Toby knows that Browny can't speak, but the dream bear seems to be able to understand human speech, or at least he understands what Toby was telling him. Eitherway the young dreamer needs his help, he does live in this world afterall.
Toby Robinson: Browny, can you take me to some dream beings? Something we can fight. (Toby asks him)
Upon hearing Toby's request Browny starts running, almost discarding his rider in the process. Toby held onto the thick fur of the running dream bear, using it to maintain balance on his back.
Browny runs pretty fast across the rugged terrain, the landscape soon changing around them. But the changes begin to happen more frequently, losing any sense of rhythm.
This unusual speed makes Toby realise that Browny must have a special ability, which allows him to quickly move through domains, after only being in them for a few seconds, which is a really cool visual to see.
Browny finally stops running and stands in another grassy area, but this one has a big castle at it's centre. The castle looks very old and is badly damaged, probably destroyed a long time ago.
In front of this castle is a knight in steel armour, sitting on his white horse and looking exactly like the knights Toby would usually see in movies.
Knights were fearsome soldiers of the medieval world, very skilled in the way of the sword, and fighting to defend their king and country. Toby always loved reading about knights as a kid, and even though his interests have moved to other things, he still thinks knights are pretty cool.
Toby Robinson: Woah... That's awesome. (Toby says in awe, admiring how cool this knight looks)
[You Have Encountered A Dream Being]
[Name: Prince Charming]
[Race: Dream Being]
[Level: Normal Grade Dream Being]
[Skills: Royal Blood]
Prince Charming: Halt! Who goes there?! (The helmed knight asks, the tone of his voice strong and unwavering)
Toby Robinson: My name's Toby! Toby Robinson! (Toby answered, a bit nervous)
Prince Charming: Well, Toby Robinson! I suggest that you leave this place, for it is under my protection! (The knight tells him firmly)
Toby Robinson: Why are you protecting that? Kinda seems like a lost cause, don't you think? (Toby asks as looks at the ruined castle, which honestly has no chance of being restored)
Prince Charming: A lost cause you say, I don't see it that way. This castle stood strong for many years, defending against all manner of attacks by the enemy, yet it's still standing. It may be on it's last legs at the moment, but I have faith that it will rise again! (The knight replied, not ashamed or hesitant to say it)
Toby Robinson: But look at it, it's ruined. Why don't you just move on and find something new? (Toby asks him)
Prince Charming: The castle will be restored once the Princess returns! Until then, I shall stay here and protect it with my life! (The knight declares)
"He's a normal grade dream being, that means he's probably stronger than Browny. I don't have enough dream points, so I can't even use the dream beam. I could still fight him with the dream sword and shield, but he'll probably just kill me. He must be very skilled with that sword of his, while I got mine just a few minutes ago... I can't win. (Toby thought to himself)
Prince Charming: I see you're with your sword. Are you here to challenge me, Toby Robinson?! (The Knight asked)
Toby Robinson: Heck no, I'm not looking for a fight, man. I'm just passing through! Maybe next time though. (Toby nervously tells him)
Prince Charming: Very well then, when you're ready. I'll be waiting to accept your challenge! (The knight tells him)
Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) Sure, see you then! (Toby replies with a smile, before instructing Browny to leave this place)
But as Browny is turning to walk away, the knight suddenly realises something, and yells out with a outstretched hand.
Prince Charming: Wait!!! (Charming yells, frightening Toby a little bit)... I seem to have forgotten my manners! Since you told me your name, it's only fair that you know mine. (The knight said before he slowly begins to remove his helmet)
Toby Robinson: I already know his name, but let's what he looks like. (Toby thought to himself, waiting to see what charming really looks like)
The knight eventually removes his helmet, revealing the face of a very handsome man, with long blonde hair and striking features.
Prince Charming: My name is Prince Charming, the defender of this castle. And I look forward to our next meeting, Toby Robinson. (The prince said with a charming smile)
Next: Face The Swarm.
