Dreams, a realm of endless joy, oddities, and, occasionally, horrors. Inside this dream, however, there is something different. Having spent a day making her way into the tower of the sorceress Vela, Ashley has finally fallen into the throws of sleep. Unfortunately for her, the sorceress had one final line of defense beyond the Restrictor Beast which guarded her mirror. A small trap which Ashley has unwittingly fallen for. For it happens that the black pearl Vela had used as the core of the focus holding the beast to the mortal realms had a second set of spells attached to it. The pearl was set to manipulate the adventurer's subconscious into keeping the pearl on their person until they went to sleep, at which point the peal's main purpose would begin its work. Now, as Ashley sleeps, the pearl sends small tendrils of magic into the woman's dreams, manipulating her dream and pushing her into a realm of dreaming magic controlled by the sorceress Vela.
For Ashley, though, during the course of a normal dream, be it of pleasure, treasure, adventure, or simple odd dreams, a large, onyx door appears, silently urging the adventurer to come and inspect it. Eventually, no matter how much or how little the woman resists, she is draw in. Once at the doors, Ashley may stop and realize something isn't right, but, by then, it is already too late. The gate opens and long black tendrils shoot out to drag the woman into the gate before it shuts once more.
Eventually, Ashley will feel as though they are waking up only to find them self on a small island made of a purple stone, all around them, the stone seems to be stuck, half melted as though it were a sandcastle made by a child which has gotten wet and is starting to fall apart. Past the edges of the island, a blanket of impenetrable black fog blocks all view including that of the sky. Even feeling at the edge shows that there seems to be nothing past the edges of the island. Here Ashley will find that they seem to be in a perfect, dreamlike health unhurt by any real life wounds. Also, though, she will notice that this world seems just as real as real life... as though it might not be a dream...
