Kyo finished eating and left to go to his room. After getting ready for bed, he removed the bell from his wrist and placed it on a bedside table, figuring it would not be needed again until morning. The events of the day had exhausted him, so he fell asleep rather quickly, mere minutes after he lay down and closed his eyes. In his dreams, he was listening to his mother tell him the story of the dragon king's undersea palace. He hugged a small turtle plush to his chest as he sat on the floor and heard the narrative to what was one of his favorite tales.
