Considering all that had been happening around the school, it was understandable that Astra was having some trouble sleeping. It was one thing after another; first the Field trip, then the hooded men, then the school almost closing. And of course, being constricted by a Christmas ornament left her with plenty of things to be afraid of.
On this occasion, however, when the fairy had been too exhausted to stay up and just collapsed on her bed, she had then found herself completely surrounded by fog. A very familiar looking fog.
"...Oh no..." It had been a long time since Astra had had this particular nightmare, but she was sure that she was now back on that dreaded island.
She was also sure, that she wasn't alone. Already she could feel slight tremors in the ground, a signal that something large was nearby...

His run in with Xiu really hadn't slowed him down. Despite the fear that she would show up and ruin everything Titus trudged on. His father would disown him if he was too cowardly to train anyway.
Instead Titus found himself in a new mind, one he was fairly certain he hadn't touched yet. The scene around him was a little odd, fog. Lots of it. He had seen numerous things so far at the school. Hunters (which he still thought was from a roleplaying game), fire, a beast creature named Red, among a few other things. Honestly some of the dreams were stupid to him but whatever floated everyone's boat.
Looking around the demon was curious as to what he might spot in this dream or if he could find the host. Usually you find the host you find where the action is.

interesting enough, the 'host' was not that far away, and soon enough she was much closer to Titus, as Astra was now running away from whatever was coming towards her. She had tried to fly away, but for some reason, her wings wouldn't work.
Not that they ever did here, but that was beside the point.
As she looked behind to see if the thing had gotten closer, she was suddenly thrown back as she had hit something. Or someone in this case. "Ow.." Rubbing the side of her head, she then looked up to see whom she had crashed into.
"w....who are..." She blinked in confusion. Who was this guy? she hadn't seen him before in her dream. But yet, she didn't remember him from somewhere...
Wait a sec.
"Hey!" She jumped up, glaring at the demon. "You're that boil from the theater!"

Well that certainly didn't take long. The host had found him, quite literally. The tall demon felt the force hit his legs and looked down as the ghoul fell back and on her arse. He smiled rather coyly down at her trying to place her face. It wasn't until she yelled out the bit about the theater that he placed her.
"Ah, the gnome. So we meet again." Apparently that's what he was going to call her completely ignoring the fact that she had wings. "You in a hurry to run from something?" Titus tried to be helpful and remind her.

((sjdhskaj internet deleting my post wrryy ;.; ))
...wait, did he just...
"I'm NOT a gnome!" Astra said hotly. She felt rather insulted at being confused for a gnome, considering that no one liked them and they were always kicked around. Besides, she was far different from a gnome! She was even taller then one!
Not that much taller, but it still counted!
Her small hands clenched into fists by her side, she stood there fuming, and wondering why the boil was even in her dream, when he chose to remind her that she had been fleeing. As if on cue, the ground shook underneath, and a audible thumd could be heard, followed shortly by another. It sounded as if something large was coming towards them
The fairy shrieked, her anger replaced by sheer terror at whatever was coming towards them. "I got to get out of here!" She cried out, running past Titus.

"You're not?" Titus actually seemed surprised when she corrected him. Sadly though it wouldn't matter. She would forever be considered a gnome from this point, slight height difference or not. Compared to him she was a shrimp and that's all that seemed to matter.
When he seemed to remind her of what had been happening, Titus looked back as the ground began to shake wondering when whatever was coming would come into view. Hopefully this wasn't some silly movie like situation with the dinosaurs or something. Her shrieks at least made him smile. Ah, if anything it would at least be fun.
"Sounds big, you might want to-" Before he could finish she had sprinted passed him and further into the fog. With a shrug he began to follow, though with his longer legs it wasn't nearly as hard to keep up.

Astra didn't have time to dispute with Titus, as she scrambled forwards in a vain attempt to outrun whatever it was that was coming towards them. It was hard going though; her panic was making her movements jerky, and she kept tripping over. It didn't help that the demon was following her, and didn't seem to be having any problems keeping up,
"Can't you run away some where else!" she nearly shouted after her third meeting with the floor. "You're just making things worse!"
Suddenly, the thumping noise stopped, and so did the ground shaking. The fae stood up again, Fear rooting her to the ground. Trembling, she turned around.
At first, there wasn't anything there, just a swirl of fog. Then the fog grew dark as something did appear, then slowly came into focus. A giant horned head loomed out of the darkness, Eyes blazing red and full of hatred as it stared down at Astra and her companion. It opened it's jaws, showing off a mouth full of large, sharp teeth.
There was nothing else for it. Astra screamed, a blood curtailing scream that was drowned out by the red dragons deafening roar.
"IT'S JERICHO! JERICHO GOINNA EAT MEEE" She screamed again.

"Why would I do that? The fun looks like its this way." Titus mused, his long legged stride making it more than easy to keep up. Not to mention the fae kept tripping over her own feet. Clumsy little thing. He wondered if she could actually walk on her own in the real world or not.
When the fairy came to a stop Titus stopped right beside her, looking back to see what was coming. It took a moment for the first signs of the creature to appear through the fog, a massive horned head being the first thing to come into view.
"Jericho? The lizard has a name?" He watched as the dragon loomed closer, his mouth gaping open to show off its teeth. Titus sneered not impressed. At least until Astra screamed. The demon winced a little at the high pitch noise, but grinned shortly after. What an interesting turn.

She was petrified. She was absolutely scared out of her wits. She sat there, shaking, While Jericho came closer to her. Flames licked around the corners of his jaws, and it looked like he was preparing for a flame attack. And yet, The boil was just standing there, and he was smiling. Astra was stunned. How could he just stand there and smile when they were about to get roasted??
"Yes, It has a name!" She shouted at him, but before she could say more, Jericho opened his mouth to unleash a plume of fire. She jumped up shrieking, and barely managed to dodge the attack, the edges of her dress and wings singed.
"Thats it!" She said crossly, running behind Titus and grabbing onto his leg. If he was going to hang around, then she may as well use him as a shield. And if she got toasted? At least she'd bring him down with her.

Titus mused seeing the flames spouting from the dragons mouth. It was always fire it seemed. Fire or those odd Hunters. At least the fire had a source in this dream. Mostly it just seemed to sweep out of no where and consume the area which Titus didn't entirely understand.
Still he watched in amusement until Astra came to attach herself to his leg. He could feel her trembling and there wasn't an ounce of pity to be had. Obviously he didn't feel in danger that he would be roasted, his eyes training on Astra. "I doubt you will find me to be a suitable place to hide." He grinned.
Fire was one thing he could conjure in a dream and so Titus did. Flames began to circle him licking at his clothes but doing no harm. It seemed to be slowly swarming toward Astra ready to consume.

Why in jacks name was't he doing anything! Astra was torn between anger and fear, yet the anger was starting to win over. She had thought the boil would begin to give a dam, or at least show some annoyance, but apparently not.
"Why not?!" She replied, still not letting go. "Why do you have to be such a stupid je-AAHHH!"
Without warning, the area around them burst into flame. the fairy shrieked again, obviously threatened by the fire, but not at the same length as she was with the dragon. Yet she could now see why the boil wasn't worried; he seemed to be fire proof.
Since she was surrounded by the fire, Astra had no way to escape. So she did the only thing she could do. She grabbed onto Titu's leg, and climbed up so she was now holding onto the back of his coat. And while she was there, she smacked him in the back of the head. For good measure.

"Hey, watch it you little gnome." Titus barked as Astra started to shimmy her way up to his back and hold on like a spider monkey. His tattered wings twitched and flared in irritation before fluttering like mad trying to dislodge her. "Get off!" The angrier Titus became the higher the flames around them rose. While Titus himself couldn't wield fire in the normal waking world it seemed he had a fair amount of control over it in dreamspace. It was a favorite to use with the undeads after all.
Turning about Titus reached behind himself trying to grab for Astra, turning so that she was no longer hiding behind him but instead had her back to the very thing she was trying to hide from. Enjoy that Astra, Jericho is right behind you. How shall Titus say, Bon Appétit?

"I'M NOT A GNOME YA STUPID JERK!" She said before she had to focus on holding on, lest she got dislodged. His wings kept hitting her in the face, however, which made everything that much more difficult. She could also see the ring of flames around her getting higher and higher.
Then, Titus just had to turn around, and she saw not only the huge dragon, reading for a fire attack, but the demons hand reaching for her.
...Ohhh, he was soo going to get it!
Finally letting go of titus, she crawled underneith, then once in front of him she decided to be really mean, and punch him in the groin. (She wasn't tall enough to kick him). She then proceeded to run away screaming as Jericho let lose a plume of flame

"Gnome is close enough," Titus barked. "You're just as troublesome." He had reached back but gripped nothing because the fairy had dropped from his back to the ground. He was about to turn around but she came crawling across the ground between his feet, only pausing long enough to turn and punch him in the groin. While this was dreamspace and you really couldn't get hurt per say, it still made Titus double over holding his tenders. This was getting old.
A stream of curses, and not all in English, left his mouth as he gripped himself, his teeth bared in a snarl as flames erupted all around him. Thankfully he had enough of his wits about him to steer the fire away from his person and when he finally looked up his white eyes were dead set on the fairy. They promised pain and revenge for that little stunt that she could only imagine.
"You want to play?" His voice was possibly a little higher in note but his angry face made up for it. "Then let's play." Titus looked back to gauge what the dragon looked like taking in his form and details. Once he had the image down Titus turned back to Astra and held up his hand and snapped his fingers. At first it didn't seem like anything had happened but then the ground began to shake. Below Astra's feet the ground began to bulge outward crumbling and cracking to pieces. Fire and lava began to appear in the cracks, the area around them suddenly too hot to stand. And then there was a clawed hand, one just like the red dragon before them. It looked like Titus was conjuring another dragon from the ground. "Enjoy your second playmate."

She was just as troublesome? Astra may have taken some pride in this. She did consider herself to be a top notch troublemaker, so she took that insult as a complement. Once he was doubling over and swearing, she made every effort to point and laugh at his pain. Because he totally deserved it.
Her laugher quickly stopped when he glared at her. Those eyes...yeah, they did creep her out. Maybe even a lot. He was looking mighty angry...
She began to back away when he raised his hands, but seemed confused when he snapped them. What was he trying to do? She was beginning to relax when the ground to shake. Shrieking, she tried to run, but the ground was shaking too much, and she ended up tripping over her own feet. She saw with wide, frightened eyes the ground spit in two, and another clawed hand reach for her.
"AHHH! HELP ME! SOMEONE HELP ME!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to get up and run away before she was grabbed.
