{Intro}


When Cypress falls asleep, he goes into his DreamWorld. Here, anything is possible, and he is the king.

This blog will be updated every time Cypress has a dream.











{Dream Log}


~{First Dream}
When he was a fawn, Cypress dreamed he was a fish in the pond. He grew wings and inhabited the sky with birds, but then he plummeted down into the ground, swallowed whole by the roots of the Great Tree, suffocating in loneliness until he awoke to see the faces of those he would come to call family.

In every dream since then, he has been a rabbit.


*********************************************************


~{Second Dream}
He felt himself floating in space. The Forest seemed much brighter than normal, and the bunny stag felt more content than he ever had in his life.

What's this?

Who's there?

He's waking up... He doesn't want to go... Something stops him from waking.



For the longest time, everything was a weightless blur. She could feel nothing, hear nothing, though as shapes began to form around her, in addition to a familiar scent, the snow faerie felt as if she had passed on and had been thrown into multiple directions, for once settling into some state of her own being. In fact, that may just be what was happening. One name, one scent, one being, came to mind the moment her purple optics opened to this mysteriousness. It was not the Forest; no, she was well aware that she had passed on from the Endless Forest.
“Cypress…” she whispered, gazing around as the blurriness began to fade. Flora’s eyes widened slightly. it had to be a dream...but it could not be her own, for she no longer held a solid presense in the Forest world, now a wandering spirit with the living soul trapped within a youth. Had a passion driven her into the mind of the one she had longed to see for so many moons?
“Cypress…” she whispered again, slowly and shakily lifting herself onto her hooves. She felt unusually light on her feet, though as she gazed downward she was sure they were planted on the ground beneath her.



He can sense a presence in his Dream Forest. Someone else is here.

How did someone else get here?

The bunny-stag calls out, and his voice echos through layers and layers of hazy golden wood.
"Hello(hello)?"

He hops down from his tree and bounds off toward the sound of the echo.



Now she could hear it and feel it. The voice
The familiar voice...
the beloved voice...
Flora moved forward, falling into the brush before emerging to the world that looked bigger now.
Her mind shifted to the realization that she had in fact, shifted into a rabbit. Though she was not focused on that reality, but instead headed forward towards the voice with bright eyes burning like fire.
"Cypress?" She called out again; long ears perked forward.



He was running and running and running, and then he suddenly stopped. Right before his eyes stood a beautiful white doe rabbit, speaking his name.

He knew he knew her, but he could hardly believe she was there.

"F-flora?" he said, his eyes wide and bright as stars. "What are you doing here?"


Her voice never responded. He felt himself fading out of the dream, being pulled from sleep, back into the real world.

He awoke under the Great Tree, his family sleeping peacefully nearby.

It has been many moons since

It has been many moons since Adrien had a good dream. For a long time, he has dreaded closing his eyes at night.

Recently, though, he has found a reason to be happy again and is once again expecting a good night's rest.

Flora's eyes were wide and glistened with her confusion. She made her way quickly to Adrien's side and her eyes watered.
"Adrien...it is you..." She murmured; long ears lowering.
"I thought...I thought we could never meet again but...It seems that in this world, we can" She smiled; her expression one of an overjoyed love.

((Don't worry; they can just resume the conversation next time he falls asleep... which is now. lawl))

Adrien embraced his friend tightly and wept with tears of mixed joy, pain, and confusion.

"Oh, Flora!" he cried. "I've missed you so much! I can't believe you're really here. Is this only a dream, or is your spirit actually visiting me while my body sleeps?" He couldn't decide whether or not he wanted an honest answer to that question.

( :'D) "I do not know...but

( :'D)


"I do not know...but all I know is that I am finally here...with you...I heard the poem that you whispered to me, and it filled my soul with passion and purpose. I knew I could not let the gods take me, not yet...so I was sent back. I want to always visit you in this world, Adrien. Do not think of it as a dream...but the world where you can see me in fleshly form other than the one you see when your eyes open to the Forest. I told you I would always be with you...in any world you are," she murmured, hugging him tightly back as tears flowed down her own cheeks.

Tears streamed down the

Tears streamed down the stag's face as he tightly embraced his beloved. He was so happy to see her. Something she said caught him off-guard, though, and he was confused.

"What do you mean," he asked "that I see your fleshly form in the Forest? You have been dead for several moons. I haven't seen you since then." He was troubled, but something about her words also filled him with great hope.

Flora hugged him tightly in

Flora hugged him tightly in return; her being filled with joy. She loosened her grip and gazed deeply into Adrien's eyes.
"I have never left you, Adrien...you keep me close to you still. I live among you and your family...In this world you may call a dream, I hold the memories of both fleshes that have met you. You know me by two names now...Flora and Palila," Her voice faded slightly as she said the second name with hesitance, almost worried about how he would react to her reincarnation. She looked downward slightly, and urged herself to explain.
"Before I could move into the world of the gods, they had called me back into the Forest. But...they would not let me enter my body, but they called me into a newer one...one where I could start life anew and grow again. I was reborn, Adrien...so I could remain in life with you."

Adrien could almost feel his

Adrien could almost feel his heart stop beating, and his eyes grew wide. Could this possibly be true?

"Palila is... you?"

He was shocked by this realization that the fawn he now thought of as a daughter had once been the doe with whom he'd fallen in love. It was confusing, but somehow strangely appropriate. He already loved Palila as if she were part of him, but now his desire to protect her grew even stronger. He embraced Flora tightly and whispered in her ear, "I will never let anything happen to you."
