1/6
Elvy looked up at the clock on her computer as she worked away, watching the last minute tick by before class was over. Though she enjoyed her computer science classes, she enjoyed the weekend just as much. Her teacher decided to talk a few minutes over though and everyone rushed out the door when they were finally dismissed. She could not wait for the next day to come at all. One of her friends was to blame with this obsession of hers that would finally get to be filled after waiting a long year. A few years ago, when college started, one of her friends dragged her to the local renaissance fair. From there on over three years she ended up with two outfits, cape included, and recently pirate boots.

Aye, and those boots be very comfortable as well, Elvy wears them to class sometimes. Tomorrow would be the first day of the fair this year, she already had her outfit picked out, her plaid bodice for this weekend and her favorite dragon woodbaby. But first, she wanted to go and practice with one of her more recent ren fair obsessions…

2/6
The most recent obsession, or is it a skill to be developed, was not known as to where it had come from but something that Elvy just decided to pick up one day. She really wanted to try contact juggling, sphere play, for some odd reason over the last few months. So one day, she found a website and ordered an orange practice ball, for one ball juggling. She had decided that this had come on from seeing others doing it and wanting to try her hand, ha, before the fair came. Over the last months she practiced a bit with it. Now Elvy could roll the four-inch ball around either hand, from palm to top and back, and even switch hands.

Her skills also started to increase and she started to roll the ball over her hand higher in the air and can pull off a butterfly every once in a while. So getting back to her dorm, she picked up the ball and started to practice her sphere play once more.

Ah finally, the fair! Though it took an extra hour or two to get her friends up earlier to come with her. Elvy stretched in the sun and spun about for a moment, her skirt moving with her. Looking back to the car she noticed that her contact ball was gone, she thought that she had brought it, the bright orange is hard to miss. Sadly, her friends tugged her away from looking, exclaiming it was only a ball. Unknown to her though, this year there would be a sphere play stall for the first time.

They walked around for a while, watching the combat chess and the jousting. After eating, they decided it was time to shop, oh and what great shops there were! Elvy’s eyes widened when she saw the juggling booth and went over, her friends leaving her behind.

Elvy practically skipped her way to the booth, noticing that they had seemed to have little to no customers that day. The cloaked old lady grinned as she looked up at Elvy. “What do we have here. My what a lovely dragon you have,” the lady motioned to Elvy’s puppet on her shoulder.

“Why thank you, his name is Nuitari. I couldn’t help but notice that you sold sphere play balls,” Elvy almost exclaimed as she looked about. She decided that perhaps she would finally get herself a crystal four-inch ball, since her orange one disappeared. Or perhaps a set of the smaller ones to start multiple ball tricks.

“Take your time and look dear, all of my wears are out on the table. You look as if you know some stuff, feel free to try them out too,” the lady said as she watched Elvy.Only a nod came from Elvy as she tried different sizes. She noticed that the crystal balls felt different then her plastic one. First she tried a large one, and then some of the small ones.
Then, and then she tried a medium sized ball that had almost a faint purple to it. And the results well…

5/6
The ball was amazing, it glided around and over her hands as if it was magic. She knew this ball felt right. It was the perfect weight and size and she had no fear of dropping it. The old lady smiled when she was what ball was chosen and nodded to herself. Elvy smiled and held the ball with one hand. “This one, I don’t know what it is, but I must buy it.” The two talked prices and came to an agreement. After Elvy paid her the lady stopped her and handed a note to her. “Read this later when no one is around, they are… instructions.” Elvy smiled and thanked the lady again. The rest of the fair she rolled the ball around her hands and fingers… One of her friends asked her what she bought when they found her later. “It’s a crystal. Nothing more,” she replied happily. Unknown to her right now, when she would next return to the fair, the cloaked old lady and her booth would no longer be there.

6/6
The rest of the fair had gone fast and soon Elvy was back to her dorm. Her friends probably thought her crazy to still be messing with the crystal but there was just something about it. She put on her bed for a moment and looked at it and remembered the note. She opened the note and read it to herself, “Take great care of this crystal, for it may be more than it seems, especially in your dreams.” She looked down at the ball again, did it get more purple? Elvy swore that the ball was only a hint of purple and now one could not see through it. She shook her head and picked up the ball, rolling it over her hands again, back and forth. She whispered to herself and she stared at the ball, “If you turn it this way and look in to it…”

“…It will show you your dreams…”
