They also notice Ia’Akhul's new rock/moon and make a mental note to visit at some point. The side of the Dreamer's Moon facing the planet is left alone so as not to interfere with the light show, while the dark side of the moon is turned into a relaxing dreamscape filled with a vast variety of plants, water sources and mountains, lit by a combination of the soft glow of many different glow in the dark plants and occasionally the moon itself. They also create the Dreamers Fruit and scatter the trees all over the dark side of the Dreamers Moon. 162) Oge’Ivu visits the wood elves of Sanctuary, some mountain humans and chimera watch her approach from their peak, at first there is hesitation and apprehension, but Fernguard makes a nice first contact. They try speaking but Oge’Ivu doesn’t understand that at all. Oge’Ivu ends up singing a full concert to the population of Sanctuary much to their surprise. After the concert Oge’Ivu flies around the tree a few times, gets a pie, and leaves as the elves go back to their lives or hold their own performances back at her. Jeon finally returns to ask what happened while he was away after everything is done and gone. 163) Resin and Shadow arrived at the Shadow Bazaar and after being told numerous times by Shadow not to steal from the bazaar, Resin ignored the advice and stole some food. Applepie, Ashevelen’s elven disguise, bumps into the thief and after charming him, brings him over to a fountain that kept saying the message “NO THIEVING”. Figuring out his dumb mistake, he tries to teleport away only for Ashevelen to teleport him all over the bazaar in manner of seconds. Ashevelen cuts one of his arms off and transforms Shadow into the missing arm. Permanently binding the two. 164) Desire is surfing onwards, and she reaches the edge of the Umbral Woods where she encounters the Shadow Guardian. She receives directions towards the nearby Ashevelen and introduces herself. The two deities travel to the Shadow Bazaar, where its wonders are shown, and then Desire and Ashevelen trade with each other: Desire blesses a few satyrs with her power, while Ashevelen enhances Sunset Orange. 165) Lorelei and Astarte are making their way towards a meeting place with Wyn after waking up thanks to Julles’ magicursed treatment of their wounds. In a hall-like room they meet the goddess and introduce themselves to her, they exchange some information, Wyn allows Julles to keep the BLOODBOW (called Crimson Arc by him) and eventually Wyn heals the girls’ permanent injuries and beautifies them in the process. Some minor stuff happens,and finally Wyn tells the pair about the Shadow Bazaar. 166) The Penumbra group finally defeats the Mind Pod. Dahm dies heroically in the battle and Custosa seems to have caught a seed. Their pyrrhic victory was short-lived as Ashevelen summoned them all to the Bazaar. 167) Oa travels about and goes into the Bloodmire where she falls down a hole and then ends up sliding down in the realm of Wyn. She journeys up the castle grounds until she reaches the throne room where Wyn sits, covered in moths. As they fly away they have a conversation and Wyn ends up having a mood swing, where things get a little dicey but it ends with the two Goddesses, thoroughly apart from one another. No violence was shed. 168) Jeon informs Ferngaurd he is going to be getting out and about more, but, not to worry, he has made something to help her look after the woods while he is out and about. Except when he goes to present it, it turns out it has run off. We cut briefly to the thing in question a lung dragon, avatar of the forests, called Monpau, running through the dark woods and to the Umbral woods, before switching again to the view of a Coin Fairy nest that is under attack by a common crab. One fairy, Cherry on top, is introduced when she attacks the crab, and gets her arm bitten off in the process. Then Monpau arrives and saves the day. They talk for a bit, and then Monpau invites them to come live in Sanctuary, which they agree too because their house is wrecked by water and crab damage. He and the fairies then return and the fairies instantly win everyone over and quell Jeon’s anger about Monpau running off like that. It is revealed that Monpau was Ferngaurd’s Huwu’idang patron, who Jeon had ascended to Avatarhood. While she and he talk, Jeon chats with the Coin Faries, realizes that they are kind half baked mortals, and ascends them to be 4 mp people capable of receiving divine inspiration. In this case, Cherry and Stagstep both learn all there is to know about ceramics. Neither is particularly impressed. In the name of camaraderie and shared divine inspiration headaches, and just general kindness, Stagstep then offers to find the Fairies a home (it’s free real estate) in one of Sanctuary's many spare buildings. They accept, leaving Jeon a bit miffed about them not appreciating pottery. 169) Ravdur thinks about his actions in aiding the mortals while creating a new type ice that would help to purify people and things of corruption and leaving instructions on how to make it in his black ice temple. While claiming the aspect of Purification in the process. Then heading to his castle for a time and heading out into the world again. 170) Lorelei, Astarte, and Shadobig enter the Bazaar after stumbling upon a collapsed bridge in the Stormbreaker Mountains, action taken both as a short holiday and a way to circumvent the obstacle. There, they enjoy the trading and atmosphere for a while until they get chased out after Astarte forgets that her Godly Presence isn’t enough payment for the food establishments. At that point, Lorelei and Astarte dip outta the Bazaar and end up right inside the Lonesome Masters’ Hold. 171) Ashevelen travels to the newly created moon where she meets someone who looks similar to Myrtu but isn’t. The Hooven Deity of Dreams. They talk a bit and Ashevelen sells the Invisibility Cape for a bucket of Dream Fruit seeds.
