You're at the top of a high, snowy mountain, peeking out just above the clouds. You're just about to look around, when a huge snowball hits you on the back of the head! You whirl around, laughing and hurl one back at your attacker! It hits a skyblue dragon right between the eyes! You're still laughing hysterically when another snowball hits the back of your neck. You shiver as the snow falls down your shirt. You turn around to see the pair of playful dragons giggling uncontrollably.
 Nubilus |  Gineus |
When the dragons finally regain their composure, one of them says to you, "Halt! Who goes there?"
At this, he falls over laughing again.
"No, really, who are you? Seriously." says the second, Gineus.
You tell them who you are.
"You're not trying to kidnap the Dream Dragon are you?" he asks.
"What Dream Dragon?" you say. You have no idea what they're talking about.
Nubilus gets up and clouts his companion on the head, "C'mon stupid. Kidnappers don't look like that!"
"Well, how should I know I've never seen one!"
Nubilus turns back to you, "We'll only let you meet the Dream Dragon if you promise not to kidnap him!"
You promise them you won't kidnap their Dream Dragon.
"It's not our Dream Dragon," says Gineus importantly, "we're just guarding it!"
With that he turns to follow Nubilus, who has descended about 10 feet down the steepest side of the mountain.
It takes you just a little bit longer to get down the mountain than it does the winged dragons....Well, okay, so your knees were shaking and you were telling yourself not to look down while Nubilus and Gineus just hovered in the air, laughing, but what really matters is you got there, right? You follow the two dragons into a cave carved into the side of the mountain. Just inside, you see a small, green-eyed white head looking up at you sleepily. You appear to have captured its intrest, and it sits back on its hauches, investigating the strager.

"I'm hungry?" says the dragon.
"Well hello to you too, Pestuo! And you just had lunch! All you do is eat and sleep! Gathering strength I suppose. But you can eat later. Now we've brought you a visitor!" he says cheerily.
"What is it?" you ask.
"He is a Dracae Somnium. A Dream Dragon, from Elysium. His name is Pestuo! His parents are Amalthea and Diskord, the very first of his kind, given to the goddess Persephone herself!" says Nubilus.
"And we've been sent to protect him!" says Gineus with a grin.
Turning to you, Gineus says, "He's gotten huge since he first hatched! He loves to roam, and he's surprisingly sure-footed with those ridiculously large feet..."
"Well, no matter how big he gets, we're going to take care of him and play with him until he doesn't need us anymore." says Nubilus, turning his attentions back to you.
"Yeah, by then he'll be really huge, and there won't be enough room for all three of us up here."
Pestuo just flashes his teeth at this, grinning with pride.
All you can manage to say is, "Wow"
Pestuo gives a collosal yawn and settles into his little nest.
"I swear all he does is eat and sleep." says Nubilus.
He glances at Gineus and they grin at each other, and run back toward the cave entrance.
"C'mon!" they shout at you, "we'll race you back to the top of the mountain!"
You groan and turn back toward the mouth of the cave, stopping to whisper a little 'good-bye' to the sleeping wonder.
Nubilus and Gineus came from Skyhaven.
Elysium just opened! There are no eggs left, but there might be another clutch sometime soon!
