Sonstine came up behind the other two and tilted her head. "Did you find one?" she asked, stepping to the side some to try and peer around Rikku.
Matrea giggled and shifted playfully on his paws. "Yep Yep! It's dark though." He took a few steps in, giving his eyes time to adjust to the dark. "Maybe we can find some lanterns or something? Candles perhaps?"
Ryjah chuckled and nudged her leg softly with the top of his head. "You don't get called that often, do you..." he smiled. Meh... Leisure talk to go along with their leisured pace.

Rikku walked a little way into the dark room and surveyed it carefully. She could hardly see a thing. "Matrea's right! We should get somehting to light this place up! Then we can stay in the room until the storm is over. What do you think Sonni?" Rikku said turning to the Deejarne with a large smile on her face. She thought her plan was well thought out, if a little simple and already suggested.
Lida shook her head. "No, I can't say I've ever been called that." She said in all seriousness, though Ryjah was only playing. "So, hun," Lida continued, trying to strike back with a name for Ryjah, "how many rooms do you think this temple actually has? I've explored it once or twice but never found anything near the end of it." The Nightmare gave a small playfull smile.

From the sky there breaks a cry. Though no voice seems to have made it. The sky itself seems to scream with eerie pitch, and from the heavens above a shockwave of air is emitted. Striking Nowhere, the temples themselves tremble.
Within the earth temple a sharp crack of splintering stone rips open one wall, leaving a two foot wide crack stretching from ceiling to floor.
The isle of the water temple is forced completely under water, it's protective barriers keeping the seawater out as above it there comes a water trembling crash. Things go topsy turvy for long minutes, as the temple is spun by the force of the colliding islands above, and it comes to rest completely upside down. The invisable barrier of the temple keeps any dreams within from being tossed out, and after just a few moments a gentle but firm pressure becomes applied to the temple, floating the dreams within to stand on the 'floor' as gravity seems to rebel in a gentle manner.
The fire temple heaves downwards, and the floor shatters in the center of the temple. The resting place for those Dreams who would dream, tumbles down into a glowing pit, a gout of vivid crimson flame roars to life within the pit, yet it does not burn. The pit goes down for miles it appears, it's bottom a glowing pit of white. While stone and rubble have tumbled down towards that glowing white bottom, and dreams, pillow, blankets and the like, seem to have been caught in the center of the flame gout. Held aloft by some strange soft pressure that cradles the objects within. As the seconds tic by, the brillance of the flame gout fades, till it is merely a red flame with a pale white center.
Outside the convergance of light and colors seems to meld into a opal like mass. With the downpressure of wind a spike can now be seen comeing from the center of the opalish thing. The wind has subsided, and a unearthly quiet is left in Nowhere.

Ryjah chuckled at the name and shrugged. "I'd imagine it has quite a few. This is technically my first time actually staying in a temple..." he admitted. He looked up at her with a warm smile. "You should get out of the temple more... You're too pretty to lock yourself away in this place..."
Matrea bounded around in the room. "It's not that dark in here!" he giggled, bounding towards the center of the room.
The floor shuddered and the temple seemed to rumble, making Matrea stop bounding into an imediate hault and coil slightly. "W-What was that?" he stammered, looking back at Rikku and Sonstine. At the same second, the ground gave way beneath him and he fell into the pit, screaming for a moment before coiling into a ball to await the painful death that looked to be coming.
Sonstine merely shrugged. "A tremor?" she asked cooly then gasped as Matrea seemed to drop out of their sight.
"MATREA!!" she screamed and bolted after her brother, diving into the pit to catch him and pull him back.
Ryjah stopped and tilted his head at the rumble and shake the temple seemed to make. "I really don't like this..." he muttered under his breath before Sonstine's shout snapped his head up. Something was wrong.
Running as fast as he can with a limp, he hurried to where he had heard Sonni cry out.

Lida blushed some and smiled to herself. "At least someone thinks so." She said quietly and looked down to Ryjah with the first true smile she had actually returned.
Rikku giggled as Matrea went further into the room. "You're so brave!" She shouted with an over the top voice. Her smile was quickly wiped from her face as she was shocked by the sudden terrible rumble.
Rikku heard her friend scream and shouted after him, "Matrea! Matrea! Don't die!" The Deejarne looked on in horror as the ground had opened up. She watched as Sonstine dived after him and flew out of the room, waiting with her breath held for the moment they would come back out of the room. They would come back... wouldn't they?
Lida was taken aback by the sudden-ness of everything. She ran after Ryjah, fearing for his safety with his limp and spotted Rikku with a look of horror on her face.

There is a moment of eerie quietness that follows the violent disruptions of the temples. From without, tiny balls of faintly glowing light trickle hevenward from the tops of each temple, and a pale glow begins to emenate from each place. About the fire temple the color is red. Above the earth temple a green color is the light, and from the water temple a pale blue.
Within the fire temple itself, those dreams that were unfortunate or brave to dare lunging into the hole created, would find themselves floating, as if by an invisable hand. One that cradled them just a few inch's below the floor of the temple. Deep below that deadly red glow pulseing, but with them a harmless distance away.
The air of Nowhere quiets, the sky clearing as to the east something rises far into the sky. Massive enough to be spied even from the furthest isles of the Stareach Sea. A twisting tree rises above all of Nowhere, it's branchs spread into the clouds themselves to dissappear above even further yet.

(( Update! <3 Yayz! Crimflow ))
Rikku continued to shout until she noticed all was quiet. Everything had just.... stopped. She looked around her nervously, as if she would suddenly see something that would be of a small indication as to what had been going on. But she saw nothing. Unusually serious Rikku flew slowly into the room she had previously been in with Matrea and saw the two Dreams, safe... at least. She sighed and tears welled up in her eyes as her usual manner came back to her. "Don't you ever nearly die like that again you hear!?" She wiped away the coming tears with the back of her arm and smiled widely. The worst of it seemed to be over she thought, her optimism returning.
Lida wasn't so quick to dismiss the eerieness that hung in the air. All the chaos had just seemed to come to a standstill. The Nightmare watched as Rikku flew back into the room and her shouts of anger and relief echoed out of it. She could not feel relieved quite yet though. Lida turned on her heels and gave one quick glance to Ryjah as he disappeared into the same room as Rikku. It wasn't that she didn't care that the two Dreams were alright, more her need to know was much more overpowering. The female launched herself from the ground with her powerful legs and took to the air, flying back the way thaty had came to the entrance. And what she saw made her gasp.
Clear skies- (As clear as they get in Crimflow) -No more storms but a red light shone about the temple. Lida took a step outside, not believing her eyes. Far in the distance a huge tree rose and grew, it seemed to grow straight up to the heavens. "What can this mean?" She said with almost anger in her voice for how little she knew.

Rikku noticed Lida's absesnce from the happy scene but she knew that sometimes she wanted to be aone so left her to it.
Lida continued to look at the tree for a long time. It didn't look too far from where she was standing. Maybe some exploration was called for. But she hesitated. Going off on her own with no warning might make the others worry and now she had realised how much she had come to think of them all as her family, making them worry was the last thing she wanted to do now. Especially Ryjah. Lida didn't want to leave him. She knew he wouldn't be able to catch up she left due to his limp and he made her happy when she was with him. Lida turned back into the corridor of the Temple.
The Nightmare was torn. Between her curious instinct and her... love. She had no idea she was being watched from the shadows.

(( Event! >w< Wowz! Thankyou! Crimflow )) Lida looked over to the small black egg. It was badly cracked and it's once beautiful wings seemed torn and ragged. She walked closer to the curious object and looked down at it with a sad face. The Nightmare carefully moved the rubble from around the egg. It's wings seemed to flutter a tiny bit, despite the obvious batterings it had recieved. She bent down and touched it, the small black egg was warm to the touch. "At least the storm was kind enough to let you live little one." Lida said quietly to the sad looking thing stroking the cracks carefully. Slowly the bright pink Nightmare picked it up and cradled it in her arms close to her warm body. "And I shall be kind enough to take care of you." She gave another look of sadness mixed with pity at the egg, wondering what on earth would come out of it and what on earth she had got herself into. For now the egg had taken her thoughts away from the decision she would soon make.Siyoli crouched down low. She could see Lida from where she was hidden but remained silent. It seemed strange that Rikku had gone to find Lida and hadn't returned. And yet there was the Nightmare and the Deejarne was nowhere to be seen. The storm that had suddenly taken Nowhere by surprise had thrown Siyoli off the trail of finding Rikku so she had only just managed to get back on track. The Dream held a small dagger in between her jaws, she carried it everywhere. For now though, she wanted to remain hidden.

Lida continued to hold the egg close, she felt oddly protective of the small thing. She stared for a long while at the temple, her gaze un-feeliing. Her expression wasn't true to how she was feeling inside. Now she remembered why she shut herself off from everyone and never wanted to get particularly close to anything. Love hurts. The Nightmare gave one last glance at the entrance, Ryjah was inside. "Goodbye, Ryjah. I pray you forget about me. I must be true to my nature, I'm leaving for Treedawn." And withthose quiet departing words the female pushed off the ground with her powerful legs and took to the sky, beating her dark pink wings as they took her closer to the large tree in the distance.
Siyoli gasped as Lida took off. There goes the purpose of her being in Crimflow she thought. With a frown Siyoli disappeared in a small flash. Back to the world out of Nowhere.

Imriel looked around him, slightly disturbed. The name of this area had made him expect...well, he wasn't quite sure what he'd expected but it sure wasn't this. The plants in the area were all either dead or dying. He sniffed the ground cautiously.
Mint tumbled into the Glade just after Imriel. She looked around. "Hey, Immy-chan, what's wrong with this place? Why's it all...droopy and brown here?"
"The plants've been poisioned by saltwater. The ground's saturated in it," Imriel replied, picking his way around a puddle of mud that hadn't dried up quite yet. "We should be careful and--"
"Oooh, woooooow! Lookit that big tree! I bet I can beat you to the top, Immy-chan!" Mint had spotted the new Treedawn and - as per usual - immediately considered it a new place to play. She raced off in the direction of Mourning Peaks, which stood in the way between the Glade and Treedawn.
"--stay in this area..." Imriel sighed. Why had he thought suggesting going to Nowhere was a good idea? He took off after Mint...
...and promptly fell down in the selfsame mudpuddle he'd dodged just moments eariler.
"Ugh...eww...aw, I'm gonna kill Mint if she picks on me for this!" He looked up at Mint, who was now rather far ahead of him, and proceeded to follow; this time more carefully, doing his best to ignore the squishing sounds his paws made as he walked.

Lida rested on a large rock. The egg was still clutched protectively in her arms. There were alot of rocks strewn about the land since the terrible storm. From where the Nightmare was sitting the temple was still visible but looked small from where she was, not like anything it looked like close up, exept the black shiny colour she could see even from far away. Lida had been flying for a while but Nightmares weren't built to fly for long periods of time, their wings being relatively small compared to those of a Deejarne. It was still extremely hot but she could tell the air was thinning out the further she got to Mourning Peaks, which she would need to get by to get to Treedawn. Sighing Lida jumped off the rock, making sure to keep good grip of her newly accquired egg, and started to walk towards the huge tree.

Coughing lightly, Remy slowly pried open his eyes, trying not to get sick. Whatever had just happened, it was not pleasent in the least. "Not gon' be tryin' dat again anytime soon..." he muttered, slowly climbing to his feet.
That was when he noticed something was wrong. Actually, many things were wrong. First, he was on all fours. Second, he was no longer as plushie as before, more real now. And he had no idea where he was or how to get back.
"Mon dieu..." he cursed, shaking off the mud that he had landed in. "Dis isn' good..."
Deciding that the best thing to do was to look around, Remy started walking, careful to avoid any holes or the like.

Mint, running full-tilt, didn't expect anyone other than her and Imriel to be in Nowhere. That's why she was rather surprised to see another Dream suddenly appear in the middle of Sanctum.
So surprised, she didn't have time to stop before she ran into him.
