Before Min knew it, the calming sounds of the ocean tranformed into a lullaby, a mystical chant that numbed Min's body and forced her into sleep. There were echoes of sounds around her from those that were trying to burn all their energy at once against the tiredless waves. Someone seemed to be calling her name, but her body had become paralyzed. Even her eyelids were shut tight, too heavy and stiff to separate them. All that seemed to be functioning was her hearing, which produced a low droning echo that beat into her head continuously. It took her awhile to realize that Min's ears were not hearing the noises around her, but rather, someone within her subconscious.

***Dream?***

Min's eyes wavered, refusing to open. Never-the-less, she managed to fling them open and peer around her. As she rubbed her eyes and sat up, Min discovered that she was no longer on the beach. Instead, she was in a white room -- no, a white space, for there didn't seem to be any floor or ceiling. Her body levitated in thin air, the sole presence in the empty space. Not only that, but Min's outfit changed into that of a gray, metallic robe under a lush, green robe. The sleeves were long and dangled a bit, while the bottom flowed behind Min. What shocked her the most was that her key -- the key to Edenia -- glowed with a bright light that also seemed to hold an immense flow of energy within it. It tugged at Min, threatening to drag her forward.

"What is this? Where am I?"

The sound of Min's voice sounded distant and eerie, like that of a dream. However, when she pinched herself, a throbbing pain remained on her arm. Not only that, but something familiar appeared before Min.

"A gate...this is...the gate to Edenia!"

Suddenly, the door threatened to open. Peering inside, Min didn't see thriving plants overwhelming the district of Lon, but rather, a deep abysss with plates of light blue dotting its surface. Lights like those from fireflies dotted the abyss, as well as swirls of flames that shot fireballs into the air. The sight frightened Min for some reason, for the area beyond the door emited a power that felt inhuman and more grand than her own power.

"This is...
...the Gatekeepers...
...meeting...place...

...'The Plain'"...

***End?***

A feeling of being plunged downwards into darkness washed over Min, chilling her body. It wasn't until she opened her eyes and glanced at her body did she see that the tide had become higher while she...was passed out. There had to be a reason for such a peculiar dream, but at the moment, Min was in danger of being swept out into the sea. Coughing and stroking at the water with her arms, Min swam back to the shore and collapsed. While she caught her breathe, a shadow loamed over her.

"Dad...was he the one calling out to me?"

((OOC: Umm...what color should I use? There is light, which is usually white, but energy can be seen as light blue, like the electricity that runs through outlets. By the way, Min's idea of 'The Plain' isn't accurate; the dream was kind of like a message, and her fear of the power of the keys combined made her see what she saw. ))
