Matilda takes the notepad and pen from Mattie and writes down what she heard along with her surname so it can be recognised later on.
She sees the boat and the offer of being on there. She looks at the others near by and asked “so what does everyone think. Should we go on the boat or not?”

"Well we need to know, first where we are headed. Didn't someone mention Bethmoora early?" she turns to look at everyone.
She couldn't remember all of the conversation that went on but she thought that someone mentioned it. "Jillian? You mentioned it on the map didn't you?" she thinks that's what she recalls.

"Jeremy mentioned it first," Jillian responded, waving a hand towards the notepad. "Ki- Terra's riddle said to beware an Emperor, Jeremy said his book noted that Emperor as the one responsible for a city named Bethmoora being abandoned. That is why I looked iit up on the map." she smiles, "And now we also have a woman on the boat heading there? Too big a coincidence I think.. though a few of our riddle pieces also mentioned sleeping people."

Curiosity and the fact he didn't want to be left alone in such a place filled with reptiles meant that Jeremy followed the group towards the docks. As invigorating as it was being in a new land, with new smells and new experiences Jeremy felt this was no holidaying experience. So dawdling around and meandering wasn't on the cards for today. This, was an adventure, like those written in books he has read and stories he has listened to.
When the captain appeared next to the ladies Jeremy felt at first uneasy about such a movement, but he quickly shrug it off as a part of the land. "Excuse me err sir, I mean Captain" he began. "What do you mean by 'One day she will make it?'"
Upon hearing Mattie and Jillian speak of Bethmoora Jeremy felt it necessary to purely nod in agreement and say "Emperor Thuba Mleed"
And then a thought occured to him. And he tried to manifest himself 10 feet down the path, just to see if that's how it worked.

Matilda seems happy that she is near open water. It made her feel at ease. Considering the current circumstances of course.
She hears the others talk about this Bethmoora and the whispers they heard. She verbally nods to show she is listening to them. "My whisper was more about she must not wake alone"
She makes her way to the captain to try and use some sort of social skills to try and establish some more information.

Jeremy manifests about 10 feet down the path, in full view of everyone. A moment passes as he begins to take in what he just accomplished before the fatigue of the event washes through him, causing him to collapse on the ground.
Managing to prop himself up on his arms Jeremy begins to laugh more to himself at this achievement.
"As much fun as that was...." he says between giggles. "I may need help moving as it took quite a lot out of me!"

Mattie watches Jeremy aparate away, it wasn't far and there wasn't a loud pop but it was the closet thing she knew to compare it to. She shakes her head and goes to Jeremy offering him her hands to help him get back up and support him.
"Maybe it takes time to develop? They don't look as tired when they do it." she says speaking about the woman and captain.
"What is that lady's name?" she calls to the captain once Jeremy is safely up and supported by her.

Terra followed the group as the notebook he had manifested earlier is passed among them. He didn't miss the look that passed over Mattie's face earlier, it was a look of annoyance, if he had been Kiami the action may have stung her, but in this new body, with this new personality he seemed to not care and so he shrugged it off. He couldn't help it if his change gave him more of a demanding air and caused the group to actually listen to him, he found he felt more useful in this new body and the more he thought about it the more he enjoyed the quiet changes that seemed to take over the old personality that would be Kiami's.
As they walked along Terra continued to make mental notes of the creatures and plants that surrounded and changed around them, it gave him an odd sense of fear. If plants and animals could change at will in this realm, than exactly what else could change? Could the layout of the land actually change? Cities move, roads reroute, buildings or people that been there before, be gone in a moment? He wasn't sure, but as the notebook made it's way back to him he flips a couple of pages back and draws a quick layout of the things before him, better safe than sorry.
As they came to the city sprawled a head of them, Terra looks in amazement through the giant iron gates, scanning the scene. People of all ages seemed fast asleep in their place yet, fruit and vegetables didn't seem to be affected as they lay rotting among the people. As Terra looked on, it was as if the story of sleeping beauty had been played out here. Just how long had these people been sleeping, and what kind of curse or magic had been used here?
Terra found himself wanting to explore this sleeping city more, but the gates had rusted shut from centuries of not being used. still with the lure of the history that was no doubt riddled through this city, Terra found it difficult to pull himself away. But then, the faint echo of the words that haunted his mind played once again.. and the thought of the eyes of all these people being stolen by the Emperor sent a chill down his spine.
When the guard suddenly moved, Terra jumped unexpectedly, and without realizing it moved himself closer to Mattie, half protecting her from this guard who wasn't sleeping. Jeremy spoke up, and then the group moved quietly towards the boat they had seen docking earlier. Terra had barely stopped to examine the boat as he had seen it at an earlier time and felt no need to pay attention to it, though he didn't miss the woman in the old clothing that moved rather quickly across the deck of the ship. This too struck Terra as odd, why would this woman be wearing fashion from the 1900's, and how was she able to move so quickly?
He assumed it was a form of apparition, the same ability used in the wizarding world. Though he said nothing of his thoughts, since two muggles were among the group, he played it off as a ghosting thing. Between her and the captain, Terra wondered if this ship were full of "Lost Souls" or if his mind just happened to be playing tricks on him as they were in the realm of dreams.
Approaching the ship, Terra listened as the captain spoke, he let the adults do the talking as he scanned the crew of the ship, something felt off. Odd. Everyone wore clothes of a different era, and though the woman dressed as if from the 1900's she wore a camera around her neck, something not invented in that time. The captain's next words made the fine hairs on Terra's neck stand up, exactly what had he meant by,
"We are hopeful one day she will make it."
Just how long had this woman been aboard the ship and trying to reach Bethmoora? Secondly, who was she? Lastly, just how hard was it to find the city of Bethmoora? Could it be as Terra speculated earlier, could the cities of this realm relocate themselves, as the animals and plants of the jungle seemed to completely change their appearances and species? Terra made a silent decision to track this woman down privately once the boat was underway on the waters, and ask her his questions.
"I am with Harrow, I say we take passage on the boat. It will give us time to regroup and go over some of our findings. Plus, it looks to be our safest option."

The captain answered the question about the woman pacing the deck on the ship, "Her name is Miss Bourdain, she frequently takes passage on our vessel to go up The Yann, usually disappears after a couple of days then returns later." He looks to @harrow and says, "Let me tell you a tale of Andelsprutz."

Matilda listens to this tale of Andelsprutz that the captain tells her and she doesn't know what to make of it.
She starts to think about her whisper. What if the she in this is the soul of Andelsprutz before dismissing the idea as crazy. Even though it makes full sense.

As Mattie helps Jeremy up, he shows his gratitude in a flurry of thankyous and overpoliteness. Once up, still using the aide of Mattie he says to her "I think your right. They have most likely have been doing it a long time!" He says, smiling with bags suddenly appearing under his eyes. He turns to look at her "Have you ever done anything like that? You should try it! It feels....." a sudden tiredness hits Jeremy and he gets slightly heavier on Mattie.
Regaining some strength, he nods in agreement with Terra and Matilda about taking passage on the boat. "I think that is a clever idea."
Turning to the Captain he hears the name Miss Bourdain and decides he must speak to this lady. He feels she could be of interest. And briefly thinks the adventures she has in The Yann could be worthy of a book in his personal collection.

Maytie listens to the story and the two talk for a moment holding Jeremy.
"Yeah let's do that. On a side note you need rest and the ship can afford that to you and yes I have done that, tho never alone. Always with an adult. It is quite sicking in my opinion. I prefer to walk." she says with a giggle and then bites her lip.
Crap she just told a muggle that she's done that before. Maybe it was a blessing they were in a dreamland or realm of a god or whatever the case was, this wasn't the real world so hopefully no one would remember when they woke from this whatever.
"Let's get you on board." she turns to look at Dmitry. "You have the coins needed for travel. We probably need them to board the ship. Jeremy needs rest."

Jillian looks up from the maps once more, "That place the captain said the boat is heading to is right near Bethmoora, separated only by some hills.." she says, "I do not understand why we would be taken here only to have to travel elsewhere though." She still did not believe that Hypnos was an actual god of any kind, if he was he would have given them more to go on. Especially if it was so important. Chances are, she thought, he is some magical being that is either lazy or looking for entertainment from us. Either way she did not believe he was even half as powerful as he made himself out to be.
"That was impressive, Jeremy." she remarked regarding his little jump, "You are a natural here." She was not going to try what he did though, she had not even managed to manifest a blanket earlier. Perhaps the others were more active dreamers, Jeremy especially.

Matilda is still feeling oddly relaxed at the situation. Then again she has seen things no woman should see. She looks at Mattie and Jermey and sees that he looks tired all of a sudden.
"Right if anyone has payment for the boat. We're getting on and we can try and fathom how to deal with this and Jermey gets some rest"

Dmitry had been following behind the group trying to figure out this whole world that he had been dropped in to. watching the surroundings change. seeing everyone take on a new form. All of though not necessarily all that odd was still enough to throw him a bit.
As the note book came around he took is turn and wrote down what he had heard, reciting it out load as to try and remember word for word "She has slept in isolation for so long. Her brothers and sisters must be called to her when she wakes. She must not wake alone." Then he handed the book over to Lili. When the city walls and drawn closer he was impressed by the size and scale. the scene that lay beyond the guards and gates however made his skin crawl. To him seeing a town that had drop where they where asleep was very unsettling.
As the made there way to the boat I had to stop and slightly chuckle when the muggle Jeremy tried to apperait. It seemed they could do anything they wanted by concentrating enough, though it would come at some what a cost. when the reached closer to the dock He saw the captain appear and listen to what he had to say which in it's on right was odd but then agian this place could be named odd.
When Mattie called out asking him about money Dmitry snapped out of his on thoughts and back to the present. "Oh yea, money." He looks to the captain, How much for passage board for our group." god his voice was so off, his words felt wrong too. This was going to really take some getting use to. This wasn't like diving a memory or even when he dove in to Lili's prophecy.

Terra took one look at Jeremy haunched over on Mattie and decided to go over and help support him. Back home, Kiami had heard how tiring apparition could make a witch or wizard, so she well he.. She didn't, he didn't! know how to address his own her own? Thoughts. Was she Kiami, or was she this boy who's name was stolen from her father. She, no he was so confused. If the group wanted to find a way out of this realm, and a way to save the dreamers, Kiami would have to think of herself as a him, as Terra and not of herself. She only hoped she wouldn't loose herself by doing so. He squared his shoulders, and shook his head as if to make his thoughts disperse, forgetting all together what his original thought had even been.
Once his eternal war seemed to quiet he finished making his way to Mattie and Jeremy, helping to support his other side as they made their way back over to the boat. Terra's eyes grew large at the statement Mattie had made, and he stared at her in surprised that she would make that mistake. He said nothing though so as not to alarm the muggles to something, maybe in this realm they would not think to much into what Mattie had said, and when the group managed to get back to reality and their own bodies, maybe the muggles wouldn't remember at least that part of this strange adventure they all found themselves on.
Once back at the boat with Jeremy and Mattie, Terra waited quietly for Dmitry to pay the captain for their passage on the vessel. Terra had a lot to process and, a lot that he still didn't understand, he really wanted the quiet of a cabin to sit and think. Maybe he and Mattie could share a room like they had at camp over the summer, besides Terra had a feeling Mattie needed to think about the whole thing as well.

The captain is agreeable of them going on his ship, he counts you all and holds out his hand to Dimitry, waiting for payment. The bird of the River (Next Thread, Boat)
