Chapter 12: Back To The Fortress

It seems that Dreamy Ruth led me back the way I came. "Where to now?", I asked her. In her fairy form, she started hovering around the fire door. "So we have to save Taylor from the fire passage?", I wondered. Indeed... When I went through the red door, Dreamy Ruth followed. "But I can't breathe fire", I cowered out as soon as I caught the site of a fire bug... "How did Taylor escape this situation?". That's when Dreamy Ruth flew over to my hair and just laid in it. I could feel myself getting hot. I figured out that as long as Dreamy Ruth was riding on me in this room, my ice breath would be replaced with fire. And so I managed to roast the bugs in this case and they just shrivelled up into a pile of ashes.

I eventually reached the room at the end of the fire caves, where the fire conquerer was holding Taylor captive. He may have been able to get through the caves just using physical force but the conquerer must only hit with fire elemental attacks which Taylor didn't have. The conquerer was a crystal figure, burning bright orange in this case. He was sitting on a rock and laughing and when I looked slightly to the left, I saw him resting his heavy club on Taylor and crushing him! Is that why he was laughing?! Then Taylor called out to me, "Karla, help! This thing is killing me!". I was hesitant. "But if I burn him, I'll burn you too!". I then had an idea. I was wondering if Dreamy Ruth would rather sit on Taylor's head and grant him fire breath while I kept hidden. I said the idea out loud and Dreamy Ruth left me at the soonest opportunity to get Taylor out from under the club. Meanwhile, I found myself crouching behind a banner, while Taylor shot up from the ground and then gave a blast of flames at the conquerer.

It was not long for Taylor to finally wipe out the fire conquerer and become victorious. Once the conquerer was defeated, Dreamy Ruth flew away from Taylor's head and went back to hovering near me. "Are we done?". Taylor nodded, "Yeah, let's go Karla! Take the fire breathing fairy and let's get out of here!". And so we were back in the central room, where the doors to the other elemental caves were as well as the Chronicler's quarters. It was pretty much the same proceedure for Jasmine and Scarlett. Taylor waited in the central room while Dreamy Ruth went in with me and granted me the relevant breath for the corresponding element. Then in the last room where the elemental sculpture was, Dreamy Ruth took each girl and converted them into electricity and earth breathers. Once everyone was rescued from their elemental conquerers, Dreamy Ruth hovered over to the door where we originally came from. So I think we had to go back to the edge of the waters, where we were strangely brought down in the first place, from when the boat sank. But as soon as we all got to the edge of the waters, I fell asleep... Again:

Karla: "How many times have I collasped on solid ground?"

Dreamy Ruth: "I have brought you here for a reason".

- In the dream, Dreamy Ruth once again appears as human form, exactly the same as Ruth -

Dreamy Ruth: "I can't speak to you in your world. And so I need you here if I am to tell you how to get home".

Karla: "Do I go back the same way I came?".

Dreamy Ruth: "The Chronicler brought you over but I will take you back".

- Dreamy Ruth picks Karla up, like a child, and carries her towards a backdrop that looks like the fortress grounds -

Karla: "What about my friends?"

Dreamy Ruth: "For this dream, they are a part of you. So when you wake up, you will all find yourself in the same space".

- Dreamy Ruth puts Karla down and starts to walk away -

Karla: "Wait! I'm not done yet! I have something I want to share with you".

- Dreamy Ruth comes back to Karla, scoops her up, and sits on the ground with her -

Karla: "Every time danger comes, do I always have to come back here? I have a crystal ball at the library, I can talk to you there".

- Dreamy Ruth, puts Karla down again, goes away and comes back with a paintbrush -

- With her paintbrush, she changes the backdrop to resemble the room in the fortress library where the crystal ball is -

Karla: "Yes, the crystal ball has shown me dreams before".

Dreamy Ruth: "Alright, I can speak to you only in the library... On one condition... That no one else is in the room with you, not even the old man. That space is just for me and you".

Karla: "Will I know?"

Dreamy Ruth: "Us dreamy types have a way of letting you know. But in times of danger, you must come back to the celestial backdrop in your dreams, where I am the most powerful and even so, more powerful than the evil that tries to hurt you".

Karla: "And what about my ice abilities?"

Dreamy Ruth: "You only have a basic stream breath at the moment and cannot progress until a later time. Also I cannot train you in the real world, you must come here for me to train you on how to effectively use your abilities".

- Dreamy Ruth starts to fade and is becoming transparent like a ghost -

Karla: "What's happening to you?"

Dreamy Ruth: "Nothing's happening to me, you're disappearing. You have to go back and be with your friends. I will talk to you later".

What on earth happened? I found myself in my own bed and before I fell asleep, I was on the moonlit coast of the celestial caves. And then I thought... What about my boat? Was it still in ruins? And then I thought another thought. Where did Jasmine, Taylor and Scarlett end up? Did Dreamy Ruth bring them back too? Soon enough, I heard a knock on my bedroom door and indeed it was the three that were with me in the celestial caves. "Did you guys get back alright?", I asked them. "Yeah, we're here in one piece", added Taylor. "We all reported to each other that Ruth took us back", said Scarlett. "Hmm", I thought. "That's not Ruth". Then Jasmine asked, "Then who was that in our dreams? It looked and sounded a lot like Ruth". I nodded but then folded my arms over, with a tight expression on my lips. "Let me ask you all a question... Was this Ruth nasty or was she nice?". Taylor responded, "She was actually very nice". I thought so and I even stated to them, "Aha, I thought so".
