The warm end of summer breeze fluttered between her wings as she laid stretched out in the warm sand, she wiggled her toes as she lifted her face to the warmth of the sun, she enjoyed the salty scent of the ocean as the waves crashed against the shore not to far from where she laid, back legs kicked out behind her as she wiggled herself further into the sand.Her mind wander from subject to subject until she found herself thinking of a special mortal she found herself spending more and more hours with, her mouth twitched into a faint smile. What an odd feeling he seemed to cause, she wasnt exactly sure what it was, but it made her happy and caused her to be nervous as well...and that was interesting as well.

'There she is.' Orias' ears twitched when he found her relaxing in the sand, enjoying the warmth before winter came to cool the world. The goddess and he were spending increasing amounts of time with each other since the day they met. Unlike her, he had to sleep, though, which is when they usually split till the next day. She did have a job to do, after all, and Orias hated the thought of keeping her from the duties she loved so much. He usually met her once the sun had begun its descent, when the light was a brilliant amber and the shadows were very tall. It was like that now, and she looked stunning, her markings brilliantly shining in the light. Against her dark fur, they almost looked as if they were glowing. He could not help but smile as he moved to her, finding his place by her side. "It's going to be a clear night," he said, sitting down. "The stars will be bright like you."

Right on time, she thought with a smirk on her muzzle. She looked forward to their little meetings, oddly enough never arranged they simply were. But it was when they parted that she felt herself grow sad. And sad was not an emotion she was used to or even comfortable with! What was she supposed do with sadness?! Her nose wrinkled at the thought before she rolled onto her back, her wings flat behind her as she grinned."Well hello Orias.." She laughed as she lifted her paws into the air and watched the sand fall from her paws. "It should be amazing out here once the sun is completely banished." She glanced over at him and felt a light blush taint her cheeks. "Oh you..What silly words." She looked away for a bashful moment.

"I think you mean honest words," he countered with a smile, nosing one of her raised paws. He did not need to see the blush hiding behind her fur to know what she felt. He had always imagined gods to be placid, almost stoic beings who reserved their emotions and affections for only other gods. He never thought he could ever be something a goddess found interesting or pleasant, yet here she was. He was flattered, and her taking kindly to him only made him like her more. He would have still liked her if she was a mortal like himself; the fact that she was a goddess actually meant very little to him. She would always be Devika to him, a playful, sweet girl. The fact that she was the Goddess of Dreams was more of a footnote if anything. He lowered himself, resting his chin on her chest. "How were your duties today?" He enjoyed small talk with her.

She rested one paw on his shoulder lightly as she smiled at him. She enjoyed this..intimate comfort with him. There wasn't anyone else she shared such a bond with, though she normally had no qualms about invading someones personal boundaries but it usually wasn't the other way around. "Plenty of day dreamers today to keep me humming.." She loved her duties, bringing happiness to others while they surrendered themselves to her abilities. She couldn't have asked for a better duty to be bestowed upon her, it fit her perfectly and allowed her much freedom to explore the world. She curled her long tail around his side, mortals interested her a great deal, but there was something more about him. She thought with a flick of the tip of her tail, he kept up with her. She grinned, and even dared to challenge her, things were never dull..And that was an impressive feat she thought with a grin. "I heard a rumor of a meteor shower...Your thoughts?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

A wide smile broke out on his face. "I didn't know, actually," he stated, the excitement evident in his voice. After all, he could only predict moon phases and eclipses; knowing the times and dates of the falling stars was beyond his capability. After years of watching the skies, he could tell her how the night sky shifted as the year went on. He never understood why this happened, but he could see the stars moving across the sky. Sometimes he could no longer see some constellations but others manifested themselves. It was so amazing to him, almost as amazing as she was. "How do you know this?"

She grinned wickedly before she tapped his shoulder with her tail. "Tsk tsk, a lady never shares her secrets." She winked at him, she knew old ones that had followed the skies as if their lives depended on it and their lives had been started long ago..She always wondered if they were like her, but it had never really mattered. She had sought them out for him. Wanting to share a special night on the beach, where everything would be crystal clear for him..It had cost her a few hours to let the old ones slumber and dream of times long past but it had been worth it. "We will just have to wait and see if this rumor is correct.." She nipped at him softly.

She knew how to excite him, perhaps in more ways than one. He knew it was hard to miss his fixation with the stars, but he wondered if she knew more. His dreams of flight through the stars, exploring the vast unknown... All those dreams had to be her doing. He also wondered if she knew it would be clear tonight, that they would be able to watch the spectacle of falling stars together. He rolled his head so his cheek now rested against her as opposed to his chin, eyes finding hers. "I gotta ask," he began, eyes flickering with curiosity, "how much do you know about me and my dreams?" His words lingered for just a moment before he spoke again with a grin. "I'm honestly curious."

Her smile slipped away as she drew in a deep breath of the salty cooling air. "Honestly?" She pondered for a moment, no one had ever asked her this before, of course plenty made requests once they knew her true self, but none asked this. She grew somber and serious, before her eyes closed and she shook her head. "Nothing." She said in a hushed tone. "I pry not into the dreams of others, whilst I could and it would be simple enough..I dont. Its disrespectful, and honestly none of my business. Your dreams are a private gift, between your heart, memories and much more..I simply unlock the passage so that the gift may be given in a peaceful, gentle manner." She knew that there was much more she could say to explain what she did, but she wouldn't say more.

This was interesting. He wanted to know more about her powers, how she managed to unlock this passage between heart, mind, and soul. He feared it would be too much for him to understand, though, and he did not want her to feel forced to sate his curiosity. "What if I invited you?" he asked gently. "You could come fly through the stars with me if you wanted."

She shifted, and pressed her nose to his cheek. "Close your eyes and clear your mind.." She whispered softly, her heart thudded in her chest, it almost ached how hard it pounded against her rib cage. She'd never done this before, never taken anyone down a dream path before. She pressed her forehead against his cheek, her eyes closing as slivers of glowing light can be seen under her closed lids. And slowly, she began to open the pathway.

He smiled, bumping his nose to her head. "Wake me up before the falling stars." He then closed his eyes. It did not take long for him to fall asleep. Maybe it was her magic working, or something else entirely. He did find himself more relaxed around her, after all. His breathing slowed, all the tension in his muscles releasing. He found himself on that beach looking up at the sky, entranced by the innumerable twinkling lights and forms of what he could only describe as clouds with wonderful shapes and unsaturated colors ranging from blue to purple mixed with hints of yellow and orange. This stream of clouds followed a distinct curved line across the sky, flowing from that single line. It was this line that he often traveled. He leaped into the air, climbing his way up towards the stars, though he stopped. He remembered Devika was coming with him this time and waited for her.

Once the connection and bridge was complete, her eyes opened and she glanced around. She had never entered another s dream realm before, her ears twitched around nervously. Maybe she shouldnt be here, shouldnt be doing this..What was she doing?! Her feelings were muddling up her mind, but once her gaze fell on him, waiting the world went silent. With a soft smile, she hurried towards him. "Ta-da?" She teased.

He smiled at her when she approached, eyes shining in the sea of celestial colored light and all its hues of pinks, blues, purples, reds, and whites and how the light reflected off her otherwise dark coat. "You're beautiful here," he remarked almost involuntarily, to which he then bit his lip in order to collect himself. "Not that you don't always," he corrected. The lights here make your coat shine in ways sunlight and moonlight can't is all." Hopefully she did not read too far into what he intended to be a compliment. He came closer to her, his face close to hers, gazing intently into her eyes as though searching for something. "How do you feel?"

With his face so close to hers, she knew that there was no chance she could hide the deepening hue of her cheeks. "Why must you say such things?" She whispered softly, her words wouldnt be able to match his, but seeing him here, in his treasured dream made something deep within her soften and melt. Quickly she nosed him softly, "I feel strange being here...unsure." She wanted to laugh, how could she of all beings be unsure in a dream!? The idea was comical..
