Ashton dreamt of something, but he wasn't in control of it.
Normally, that would be fine. But see, Ashton's the Sorcerer of Dreams, that's literally his title. He had gained the ability to control and manifest dreams into reality. So for him to not be in control of his own dreams, was bizarre.
In this dream, he traveled. He had no idea how long, and he also didn't know where. All he knew was that he traveled for quite some time and arrived at a place he was not familiar with.
It wasn't Fantasia, nor anywhere in the Last Bastion. Actually, he doubted if this place was even on this planet.
This place was a lot more beautiful than Fantasia though. This is what he wanted Fantasia to be like in his mind, except this place was a lot bigger and more prosperous than Fantasia could ever be.
