[A Dragon Loves Adventure: Keira Through the Looking Glass] Reversed. Falling was an experiance in itself. The walls that surrounded her as she fell down a tube like hole, could be compared with that of space, seen truly, and exagerated. However it wasn't just heavenly bodys floating around her in a sea of black while she felt suspended in air. There were creatures, much like centapieds, with all asortments of wings. Lights danced and moved. There were clocks as well, all of them broken running either quickly into the future, or fleeing just as fast to the past. Some weren't even moving.
Keira landed witha plop in the land of Mysteria. She rubbed her bum as if the motion would rub the pain way like the motion would water on any given surface. Recovering from the fall Keira looked around, and was amazed.
Before when she came into Mysteria she was in a land scarred with war, and danger, dry as a temprate forest. Acctually, it was a forest. But so was this, and in comparison with the two, Keira started to doubt the first was even a line of shrubbery.
The tropics, and assortment of life, both plant and animal around her was astonding. She couldn't see much of the sky above her, but the light the trees gave off in their sap seeping from their bark, was as bight as day. There was little need for the sky.
The creatures were off all manners and kinds and shapes, to the point where most confused Keira. There was a bald turtle that gave Keira a long thought. After all, Turtles had no hair, so how could it be bald? But ti was very very clear that this one was bald indeed by the obvious missing of somthing on its head. his claws wew particular, they reminded her more of vultures then that of a turtle.
"Sir." She spoke up, wondering if she could ask who, or even what he was, if it was a he, she realized, "Or ma'am?"
"I'm male." It spoke, if that's called speaking. It was like a snakes his, low and drawn out, but it had a bubbly aspect that reminded her of what a fish might sound like, if fish could talk. Either way it took her a bit to decypher what was said in her mind. While she was thining the turtle creature turned so that it was balancing on it's head.
"Why are you upsidedown?" The Bald turtle asked, startling Keira from her thought process. This time, though his words were long, and it took him a bit to say what he said, Keira got it all.
And remained just as confused. "Well I'm not upsidedown am I? Your the one on your head! I should ask you why you are upside down."
"No no," the turtle remarked, "I was upside down, I just righted myself, Why are you upside down? or rather, why do you remain upside down, May I drown you?" The last part was so random, and the cheer in the creatures voice was almost sickening to Keira's ears once she heard it.
"No you may certainly NOT drown me, What are you anyway, and what in the world is wrong with you, I'm obviously upside right!"
The turtle tilted his head and gave a pop, with his mouth, waited and repeated it again, "Is my name," he concluded, "I'm a vulkappa, which is a vulture baised breed of Kappa, And you my dear dragonling, are upside down." He proceeded to tilt his head in the other direction. Keira was getting frustrated, this conversation was taking much to long. "Why don't you look at your down if you don't believe me?"
Keira felt gravity, the direction that gravity pulled was deffinetly down, she came from up from falling.
But looking down, to amuse the Vulkappa, whose name she decided she was just never going to learn, so she refused to bother, she noticed that a brilliant blue sky lay below her with clouds and birds.
Keira was getting dizzy, more then that confused. Her instincts told her that she was looking at down, but it appeared to be up, and up was up, but obviously was down.
Her head hurt.
"Is it too much dragonling?" The turtle walked slowly on an unseen surface, its claws screeching with each step, "May I drown you now?"
The reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks that were laced with electricity to zap her mind stright again.
Magic. How could she be so dumb! sure in the World, mortals don't have magic, in Mysteria, they all had it.
"You Kappa are Reversed, and I will not let you decieve me with your magic or foolery, and most of all, I will not allow you to drown me!" She shouted, and the image below her shattered, and the turtle fell over onto its back. It rocked and righted itself.
"Cleaver," it said slowly, "Very cleaver, esspecially for a Dragonling who is forbidden to be here. Oh my, the queen will love to hear this." the Vulkappa smirked, "You should have let me drown you, end your misery, now you will suffer, poor dragon." And it vanished.
All keira could think of for the next moment was, for a turtle, he is very fast.
It was only after that, that she realized that she may be in a very dangerous situation.
Her next thought was along the lines of getting out of here, maybe to the other Mysteria, or even home if nessicary.
Stretching her wings, she took to the air.

[A Dragon Loves Adventure: Keira Through the Looking Glass] Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, or "Who are you?". Keira flew a while until the harsh dark swamp/rainforest melted away into sweeping medows full of flowers. The tranquility of her surroundings, the pure openness of the land. The swee scent of flowers and the fresh air made Keira rather sleepy.
Figureing that she had been flying for a while, she flew at the gound, landing on a sunflower.
"Meow, welll, isn't tHISS a supurriese!" Keira jerked her head to her left to see a cat on a mum right beside her. Least, Keira thought it was a cat. It had no eyes so she wasn't sure how the cat even noticed her. The tounge from the large grinning mouth shot out and licked the fur below its own nose, "You smeowl like woodHISS." At this point Keira noted the toung wasn't comb like, like a cat she had seen, but frok like, almost like a snake.
Not that Keira had ever seen a snake, Dragons seemed to know alot about things that really they didn't.
"Thhhhinking, IHISS a paHISSt time I dare believe you have no time for, little lizard." The Cat, which Keira had just again noticed was larger than herself, leapt from the mum to Keira's Sun flower in attempt to catch Keira. Thankfully Keira was quick on her feet, and had jumped from the flower.
"WHY IS EVERYTHING TRYING TO KILL ME!" Keira Shouted in frustration. then she realized, she was food...
"I'm not a Lizard!" she informed the feline like snake, "I'm a Dragon."
"No Dragon iHISS aHISS HISSmall aHISS you. Who are you?"
Putting her hands on her hips, against her dark skirts, still flapping her wings to keep to flight, Keira replayed back smugly, "Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, like cats."
Something hit her right after she finished her sentence, sending her to the ground.

[A Dragon Loves Adventure: Keira Through the Looking Glass] Meanwhile. "You don't listen to me!"
"I listen just fine!"
"Keira is missing and you don't even want to come with me to find her?"
"You can't find her she isn't here!"
"Thats exactly what I mean, she isn't here so lets go find her!"
Orbsen, having enough of this grabbed Fae by the shoulders and looked her in the eye, "Keira isn't HERE as in this world, you cannot go looking for a dragon when you are not even in the same world as her!"
The loud stern voice of the god made the message go through, and Fae collasped on the ground and begun to shake once Orb stoped grasping her shoulders. Keira had gone missing, and Fae had no idea where she was.
Orb bent down and hugged Fae, "It'll be alright, Keira is a powerful dragon and can take care of herself." He tried to soothe.
"Shes just a child though... where could she have gone?"

[A Dragon Loves Adventure: Keira Through the Looking Glass] Mud Eldeewt and Eed Eldeewt; or Dragonflies When Keira woke she was on the ground, covered in dirt, and with one killer headache.
"What have I told you Eed! Watch where you are flying!" something buzzed.
"I was watching where you were going, and since I look like you, I figured that would work?" a more, erratic, buzz sound said.
"Eed thats not..."
"Its awake!" the dumber of the two announced.
Looking around Keira saw no one. "Hello"
"Um up here creature," The sharp buzz informed her, and she looked up. Two dragon flies, purple and neon pink were zipping about above her.
"I'm not an 'It' by the way, I am female thanks." She informed the two, not sure who had called her an it.
"Thats good to know, we will be on our way creatue." And the sharp one dragged off his idiot brother.
"What an interesting pair" Keira commented, standing up slowly, balancing her still shaky form with her tail. She dusted herself off and looked around, until she saw another form.
It was a stone, no, two stones, almost identical, she walked over touched them, "Answer us two, twice." it spoke in unison.
"Um ok." Keira decided that answering questions couldn't be too difficult.
"I am black and blue, and I can't see you what am I?" One stone lit up, "A bruise" The other lit, "Or pair of binoculars."
"Ummm." Keira thought, this seemed easy enough. "A bruise."
"Correct." It spoke again "I can spin, I can bend, but I can't move what am I?" One rock lit, "A Barbie or." the other lit "A record."
This one was more difficult. Keira thought and decided, "Record."
"Correct," they shimmered, and the two dragon flies showed themselves again. "You seem smart enough." "And creative enough." "The way out of this hell is through the rose. Go before you forget your tail!"
Keira, confused, looked behind her at a hungry cat.
Lovely.

[A Dragon Loves Adventure: Keira Through the Looking Glass] The Chess Cat His fur was black and white perfect little squares of colors all over his body as if someone had drawn on him in some wicked twisted state of mind. "I'll be going." Keira muttered and pumped her wings quickly, taking to air where the cat could not get her. It leap, as attempting to catch a bird, its claws that of lions. The force from the cats grab and Keira's quick thinking propelled herself off and high above. There in the center of the sky was a single rose. It slowly bloomed as she approached. Her wings grew weary and she pressed on, grabing onto a petal, which pulled free, then again, another and another until she fell and fell, right through the rose and back into the wooden cottage. Dired, dizzy and dirty she called out for the one person she knew who would be around. "Naida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" then she collapsed.

[Life and Growth] The Passing Keira looked up, the world seemed slightly smaller, and her body, somehow longer. She lifted her arm, how did her fingers come to be so long? Delicate.
She sat up from her position on the floor, and her long black hair draped elegantly across her body.
A mirror in the room in front of her let her see her face, her body, long and older. Her skin had paled, but only slightly. "I have got to remember not to touch strange objects..." she covered her mouth. Her voice was deeper, but only slightly, the melody of words flowing off her tounge held a slight accent. English?
Standing her dress seemed to change with her. Her sleeves were decorated like her crown, which stood higher on her brow. Beside her sat a red book. She layed her fingers on it, caressing it. It was red, not an object she had seen before, and her second tomb.
She brought it to her lap, curious as to what lay inside. But she stopped.
A treasure shouldn't be questioned.
She'd open it when she needed it.
A song played around her, lulling almost.
"Its Wicked." Fae, explained from a seat. "When I came in, after hearing you shout, you glowed, and then, you looked like that. you look so much like Elphaba that it just struck my fancy."
"Hey, mom." Keira stood and walked over to Fae and hugged her.
Then Keira thought for a moment.
She was now about the size of a human teen, Her height even slightly exceeded that of her mothers.
The world indeed had not shrunk, but she grew, turmendously.
"I think I may have to adjust to the height..." Keira blushed, her cheeks changing slightly more green.
Fae laughed, and lifted off her totem, "This is for you,"
Keira looked at the trinket. "You not leaving again are you?" She sighed heavily, and stomped back, "You're always leaving!"
"No I'm not." Fae defended herself, "It's you who is leaving." She smiled, even if slightly. "A dragon has to have adventures, when I couldn't find you, and realized where you were, I thought to myself, Keira doesn't need someone here to protect her any longer. You can go and learn on your own, but I will always be here if you need me."
Keira accepted the trinket, "Thank you." She turned away, not aware her tears were visable in the mirror.
