The dreams in my sleep are riddles: "Are you alive? Hello?" A prodding in your side. Brightl light floods into your eyes as you try to open them a pinch. Wisely chossing o keep them shut, you sit up, dazed. Looking down at the earth instead of the sky, you manage the courage to open your eyes a little. You can see pebbles and small blades fo grass, as well as a single sky blue paw...you tilt your head up a bit, and find ourself staring into two wide melcey eyes.
"You took quite a fall," the green-striped Melcey tells you after you've had a chance to recover. He nods to the sudden drop, the miniature cliff shafted in the line of grass. "You were out cold for at least fifteen minutes or so. Can you move yet? I know where there's a clear, cold stram if you're thirsty..." You follow him groggily. He makes no sound as he moves between the grasses. White you travel, he speaks. "There are quite a few Melceys that have chosen to make this their home. Me, I'm Kepal, and then there's Pysma, Keranth, and Teileyvka. Water, Fire, Darkness, and Air.." He spashes a pawful of water on you, giving you a look as if checking to see if you're still alive. Then he sits down near the bank. "I suspect you'll meet them soon enough...."

"Hold
on a second!" a short, cat-tailed melcey shouts brightly at you,
and he pads over. His pink coat is splotched with purple waves. "I
haven't had a chance to introduce myself. I'm Lystrin'jia, the Earth
of the group." He winks. "Odd how that works, huh? One of
each of us...anyway, I'm holding you back. Go, on, go visit the others!"
