Mattie makes a face at the two of them and shakes her head. "Now really isn't the time for romance. If your world and our world are in trouble." She mutters and looks up to her father.
"Um, so which path will we be taking?" She turns back to look at the group. She wants to know what is in the pouch. She looks around again and unties the leather binding and looks inside the pouch.

Inside the pouch are various different sorts of coins, they are ancient and from civilisations not even someone with a perfect historical background would know. It is as if they are on an entirely different planet with societies and money similar to earth, but it is not from earth. There are roughly 15 coins inside.
"This currency is from forgotten civilisations, but it will still be accepted in this world nonetheless."

She looks at the coins and closes the pouch and hands it to Dristan. "Passage coins." She says quietly.
After handing the pouch to Dristan, she smiles at the god and then walks back down towards the group at the beach.

Dristan takes the pouch and looks inside of it at the coins and hears what Mattie says about them. He closes the pouch and walks with his daughter back to the rest of the group on the beach.

Once she sees Mattie walk back down to the main group. Matilda sees her opportunity to ask Hypnos a question. She says to him quietly
"How did you know who I am and that I'm a believer"

Hypnos studies Harrow, "There is on occasion a chance to talk with the others when we are not at war. Those you worship speak highly of your dedication. It may not appear so due to the limitations upon them, but all present have been touched in the web. It is unfortunate that a few of them will never understand, but in a way I felt it a benefit. Those who cannot understand the truth will lose themselves slower."
He smiles and gives a light bow, "Only call on me if you need me, they will not like my temper if I am annoyed." There is a sly wink to Harrow again and then Hypnos is simply gone.

"Well thank you Hypnos. It is nice to hear that he speaks highly of me. I know that they won't understand. I must admit I'm struggling"
She watches Hypnos give a light bow "Of course I will only call you when I or the others need you" she smiles back to Hypnos after he winked at her. The she watches him disappear.

Mattie looks back over her shoulder and looks from her father up to Matilda, she watches the God leave and she looks to the group. "So we have to make a choice. Earth or Dreamers according to Hypnos. Both are in trouble. Earth is in trouble with history being changed and possibly enslaved? Not sure what can happen here other than maybe are dreams get stolen."
She looks between everyone. "So which path do we take? I am presuming humanity but that is just me."

There is a faint overlay whisper, it is clearly Hypnos's voice. "Both paths are to save humanity, dreamers are being killed in their sleep, they cannot return home." There is no body, it is slightly unsettling. To the others who haven't seen hypnos, they may just think it is someone nearby throwing their voice.
[Dristan, Mattie, Matilda please roll 1d100 and try and get over your sanity score. If you don't, roll a 1d6 and lose that much sanity]

"Dreamers...." Dristan whispers. He looks back slowly to where Hypnos was and just shook his head. This was not normal in the slightest. Greek gods were stories and he just met one.
When Dristan followed Mattie, Jillian had just let her be and focused on greeting Kiami with a smile. "I don't think we have met, have we? Jillian Penrose, sixth year."
When the trio returned she looked up, a puzzled expression on her face at what was said. The oddly out of place voice only made her frown more. "I am guessing we missed something.. We're in this dreamland to save humanity?" Doubt was clear on her face. "And.. people are being killed in their sleep now and.. history is being changed or enslaved?"

Lili stands finally brushing herself off of the stand. It felt weird to be barefoot on the beach. She watched as Matilda, Mattie and Dristan walked off leaving Kiami, herself and Jillian.
"I dont understand any of this. If this is dream land, why the hell would I dream myself half naked in front of strangers...." She shakes her head running her hand through her hair. "Why us? Why did WE get chosen to save the world."

Jillian turned to Liliana, thankful she had asked the important questions. "Liliana has a point, why are the two of us dressed like this and the rest of you all fine? I'm not one to save the world either, most of us are just students!" She was baffled and then glanced to Jeremy and back before whispering so he can't hear, "We don't even have our wands, what can we do?"

Matilda was surprisingly fine with a Greek God almost flirting with her and that he knew who she was. She followed behind Mattie and Dristan trying to understand why them.
She makes her way back to Jeremy. She wanted to make sure he's ok.

Dristan felt something in his back pocket and moved his hand there and it was his wand and he slowly pulled his shirt over it to hide it from Matilda and Jeremy. Dristan walks over to Jillian and Lili and whispers. "Some how I have mine." He says nothing else and stands there.
"What do I teach all of you in my class? Courage, determination, focus." He looks to Mattie, Lili, Kiami and Jillian. "Whether we like it or not, or even afraid we are now tasked with this. I for one, am not going to run. And I know I have taught you all the tools that you need to face anything most importantly your fears. Now there are others out there counting on us. Can I count on all of you or do my teaching mean nothing?" He asks directly.

Lili looks up to Dristan and eyes him a moment. "I dont have mine. And i'm half naked. So ya know this day can't get any worse. Except...." She looked down at her hands and back to Dristan.
Did her oracle ability still work? Was she still in fear of touching everyone around her. She was lucky that with Mattie nothing triggered but everyone else.....ONly Dristan knew anything about this, or her fear of the river. She shivered, despite the sun shining down and starting to warm them.
"Yes. But Dristan, Thats also with the ability to...." She pauses. "and If I can't t--" She stopped. "We don't exactly know what we're facing here. And who the hell these other two are. Are they American?"

Mattie stood there with her arms crossed over her themselves and just sighed looking around. Why were the older girls acting this way all of a sudden? She didn't say anything she just let them talk and let Dristan have his words as well with them.
She had been through to much to let a dream bother her like this at least for the moment. She walked over and sat on the river bank letting them all chat and figure out what they were going to do.
Looking down she just watched the water flow, she didn't want to be apart of all the emotions. Looking on the ground, she noticed a stick and she picked it up and smiled brightly. The stick was her wand. She hides her up under her sleeve making sure no one saw her, and went about watching the reeds in the breeze.

After registering her surprise and excitement at Dristan's wand, she listened carefully to his words. By her expression she was clearly worried, but gave a nod. "Alright, professor.. I am in." she said with only a slight tremor to her voice. "Where did your wand come from?" She said in a whisper, "I felt something earlier and I am sure it was not just the wind, I was wishing things were warmer and things felt funny for a moment."
She patted her jacket pockets, "I still don't have mine, but maybe that is for the best." she sighed, still thinking it crazy she would be selected for something like this. "I will do what I can though, professor!"

Matilda can just see the others who she felt were sticking together. It made sense, they all knew each other. Her and Jermey are still strangers to them.
"Okay we're going to save humanity. Am I one of the best people Hypnos could have really wanted. He seemed to like me" she says as she carries on watching.

Dristan looks to Lili. "You and I share the same bloodline. You have courage and you have strength in you Lili. You can do this." He notices that Mattie headed towards the water. "Here are our choices Lili. One we do what we are tasked to do because honestly you just do not argue with a greek god of all things. Or two, you stay right by that water and you start to forget. Those are our choices. I for one will do this task." He looks to Jillian and nods and places his hand on her shoulder. "Remember my teachings."
Dristan looks at Matilda and nods. "Since he likes you then good to have you help." He nods and walks over to his daughter.
As he sits he slides his wand from his back to his side in his waistline and jeans to keep it hidden. "Ready to be a Champion?" He smiles. The first genuine smile in a very long time that Mattie has seen from him.

Jillian nodded, her mind reeling. Liliana was related to the professor as well. That made for unusual questions about the fact she was at Maria's, but now was not the time for that. Three members of the Adamson family and a close friend of the daughter, that made sense. The family was well known and respected. Of course they would be selected for a task like this, assuming it was all real. The Penrose line was far from the Adamson line though, so she still felt uncomfortable.
She stepped towards Matilda and Jeremy, "I sort of understand why most of them are here.. but not myself. Any idea why the two of you would be brought here?"

Matilda nods at Dristan when he says that Hypnos seemed to like her "I want to help the best I can. I mean that is why we're here" she says afterwards. She still feels a little bit flattered by Hypnos.
She sees Jillian make her way towards her and Jermey. "I don't understand why I'm here. I'm nothing more than a university librarian"

Mattie looked over her shoulder and heard Jillian and Matilda talking. "If you understand why I am here Jillian, I would really like to know. I am just an 11 year old girl into my first year of secondary school." She sighs softly and plucks a reed from the ground and plays in the water with it.
She really had no business here, she and Kiami both were the two youngest people here. They didn't have the knowledge to deal with a God? Really a God? Was that even possible? This just had to be a really messed up dream. It just didn't make any sense to her. She wished she could wake herself up from this.
She looked at her dad and smiled. "I can try? I wish mom was here." She says quietly.

Lili watched Dristan go to check on Matilda, Jillian left to talk with Matilda and Jeremy. The young witch just looked around the beach. She wasn't sure what she was going to do here. The thought of sitting by the river to forget seemed almost pleasent at the moment. But She was never one to give up on a task, and she had apparently been called here for a reason.
She looked back down at herself and shook her head. This is going to be interesting. She had Dristan's shirt...which looked like a rather short dress on her. At least it was something. She looked around the beach, trying to find any other paths, or any other clues. Her bare feet kicked at the sand as she wandered about the beach, though careful to stay away from the banks of the river.

The beach of the river was just that, a beach. In fact, nobody would feel any different or lose any memories whilst there. The only paths are the ones leading off of the 7 pillars to the left or the right over the hill through tall grass. It was up to them now to pick a direction. Left to save the dreamers, right to save earth.

"You're an Adamson, Mattie." Jillian called back with an encouraging smile. "As far as I'm aware, everyone in that family is destined for great things. You just need to believe in yourself." Out of everything going on here, she felt confident of that at least. She had never really got to know Professor Adamson, having always kept quiet in his class but every pureblood family know of theirs and Jillian had seen first hand how mature Mattie herself could be. "I believe in you."
She looked back at Matilda Harrow, her expression apologising for the interuption though she had not minded Mattie calling out to her. "A librarian? I guess everyone here has a shared interest in books at least." she smiled.

"Yeah a librarian and yes it seems like everyone has a shared experience with books" she smiles back at Jillian.
"No need to say sorry. It seems Mattie also doesn't understand why she's here. But I think we all have something that Hypnos thought was needed to help. We all have a reason to be here. We just don't know it yet" she says, trying to sound reasuring more than anything.
She looks at the paths going each way. What to choose. Save the dreamers or save the earth she thought.

Lili turns and makes her way back to the group. It seemed that there were only two paths. One leading up to the pillars which it seemed everyone had already been to or the other through tall grass that seemed to sway in the breeze. She managed over to Dristan and Mattie and kneels down though tries to stay away from the rivers edge.
"Even the youngest people have knowledge we may not know" She says softly looking at her cousin. "You may see things so much more differently then the rest of us. Even Jillian and I. There is a reason you are here, just like there is a reason that Dristan, and even the other two, who we've never seen before. Something pulled us here for a reason and We have to decide if we're all in to help. If thats the case, we have to pick a path and follow it. At least thats what I gather."
She shrugs a bit.

Having appreciated Matilda's reassurance Jillian nodded with a sigh, "I suppose you are both right, in any case we are here and we really do have to try. Don't we?" she forced herself to look more determined and gave Liliana a friendly smile. "The voice said both things threaten humanity, so I think the choice is between the worlds paths or the worlds dreams.. and I was never much good at history."

Funny she would assume that, suddenly she feels more inspired and things about history start to come to her. Everyone feels a sense of enlightenment. You all now have access to knowledge and subjects that you didn't know before (take a close look at your sheets to see what you are good at that you normally would not be, it should be a sense in character of... this is familiar let me think about it, how did I know that?!?!). There is an essence that starts to fill your minds and body, enhancing them.
