"Yes, I think so."

Nod. In that case he is going to fly back to the hotel portal. Have they come through the portal or stayed on the other side?

They are in the hotel still.

He lands near the portal and walks in. "Hello."

"Hello, Felix!"

Awkward pause. "Is there anything specific that you'd like to know?"

"How does someone become a dreamshaper?"

Felix flinches and freezes.

" - if someone accidentally became a dreamshaper it seems like an important thing to know."

He is afraid of sharing it, but if there are more pieces of it around the world...

"There is crystal that we call the dreamshard. It's what turns people into dreamshapers. I found a piece of it in the red's house. I don't know how it got there, but when I touched it I suddenly experienced several intrusive thoughts pushing me to use it again. I am pretty sure it landed around the same time I did."

"Ah. Anyone who touches it will become a dreamshaper?"

"No. The person needs to be asleep."

"But any sleeping person will."

Shiver. "Yes. When I ran away from here. I was afraid that someone was kidnapping people to turn them into dreamshapers like what it was done to me."

"Why would someone do that?"

"Greed. I guess if the dreamshard can influence minds it might have influenced his, now that I think about it. If a pocket dimension had something valueable he kept the dreamshaper alive and killed the rest. ...He imprisoned his own dreamshaper nephew for years so he could get access to these dimensions."

"Can you explain to us how pocket dimensions work?"

Nod. "Did Afen told you anything or should I start from the beginning?"

"He told us everything but it'll be useful to get it directly."

Well, in that case Felix gives Afen a pocket dimension overview again. Pocket dimensions: They are extra-dimensional space. Accessible through portals. Otherwise don't really interact with regular space. Often have magic. A pocket dimension might look like it goes on forever, but they have borders that you only notice if you get close enough. Here is a list of known pocket dimension features...

"They sound very useful if handled responsibly."

"Are there guidelines in your home on responsible handling?"

"There are laws, yes- Ah. Uh, dreamshaping is not actually known by the general public."

She nods. "The laws might be a good place to start, then, to think about how to do it responsibly and safely. Do you know them?"
