they promised that dreams come true

She was born with powers, gifted with what so many others seek. Quite extraordinary powers, if she bothered to do anything with them besides create imaginary friends and impossibly large flowers. Such magic did not give her any sense of purpose though. Perhaps it is because of the type she wields, the ability to distort reality, which leaves her without a place in reality itself. After all, in some ways, she is not entirely of this world but rather stuck somewhere between the truth and the world of her own making. She cannot always tell the difference.

She would be rather impressed at herself to find out that he can detect heat signatures from her illusions though. How real that is, even if it is imperfect. No matter her skill, there would always be imperfections. But still, perhaps with such knowledge and someone willing to sit around and help her, she could learn to correct their heat as well, to make the illusions even more realistic than they previously had been.

Of course, she knows no such thing, and at the approach of the colt the illusions blink out of existence. Though it is hard to call the boy that approaches her a colt. He is more dragon than horse, really, which in this world is not a strange thing. She has seen far stranger. Perhaps he ought to frighten her, but his demeanour seems kind and his voice is shockingly soft, and maybe she simply cannot bring herself to care what happens to her.

“I think so,” she says, because sometimes she is not sure. “Are you?” Because that too she can never really be sure of.

but they forgot that nightmares are dreams too
