*laughs*
She is the princess of the family. Her older siblings are something else too. Most of them like their mother.
*turns to you*
If you don’t mind me asking, what is that?

@Zeal

Oh, sorry, I wouldn't give someone a real pet without asking first. It's just a fragment of consciousness, to last until she falls asleep.

*her eyes seem to shine as she takes the butterfly*
Eclipse: Whoa…
*she looks at me*
Dad I’m gonna take to my room!!
*I smile and nod*
- Remember, be careful.
*she slowly steps her way back to her room*

@Zeal

*Smiles*
Children are the best. And Eclipse is a doll.

Eclipse: Okay!
*I chuckle*

@Zeal

And just so you remember, you can have this.
*Puts my hand behind my back and then holds out a flat palm, on top of which sits a delicate, paper-thin purple butterfly with sharp angular wings and no visible body, shimmering in the light*
It's very fragile, but if you're careful, it'll last as long as you're awake.

Eclipse: Aww.

@Zeal

Once you're a full dream maiden, you can eat anything you want. Think of now as training time.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*She gasps and turns to me, pulling on my arm*
I am going to be a dream maiden!!
*I smile and nod*
That also means you gotta eat your veggies too.
*she frown and turns to you quickly, and I nod at you behind her*
Eclipse: Is that true?

@Zeal

*Giggles*
It doesn't hurt. When I was growing up, my parents made me eat vegetables too, even though I only wanted candy.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Eclipse: Whoa.
*she looks at me*
Dad! I wanna be a dream maiden!!

@Zeal

*Smiles with a renewed warmth*
If you really believe, you can someday. And you’ll know when the time comes.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*She nods*
Eclipse: Do you like cookies?

@Zeal

I love cookies, but I can only eat them when everyone is asleep.
*Winks*
It’s part of the dream maiden’s code.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not that I am aware of, if anything it is a defense mechanism. She doesn't even remember what happens after.

@Zeal

Well, if there’s no harm then it must be okay, right Eclipse?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Interesting.
*looks at Eclipse*
I am trying to figure out what Eclipse can do, but she does have something to do with her mind and conscious. There are moments where her conscious takes over and she acts completely different.

@Zeal

It doesn’t hurt her though?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

A dream maiden?

@Zeal

It’s a special kind of job where you go on adventures in dreamworlds to help people.
