It had been far too long now. Over five days since he had last heard anything from The Dreamfinder. His own magics had shown that the man was not even in Main Street! An enormous danger to all of them but more so to Blair himself. As it was, even the Mirror Portal had begun to malfunction without it's builder to maintain it.

A quiet inquiry had been sent out through the Land, to be on the look out for The Dreamfinder. Any news was to be sent straight to Merlin or Hades...none had come. Which was why he now sat at his table, staring at his own small communication mirror.

There was evidence of the old walkway to Tiki Oasis having been used. No one had used it since the Oasis had become the Dark Jungles. Whatever survivors having been the last ones through ages ago. It was a rather long shot but, Merlin had nothing else to go on.

[The video turns on to show a very grumpy looking Merlin.]

I am calling all Sorcerer's Apprentices that are currently with in the Magic Kingdoms. I am afraid I have rather worrisome news.

[He rubs the bridge of his nose.]

It seems that The Dreamfinder, has gone missing. I am assuming it has been of his own power but, as he is still a new Kingdom Spirit, and the last Kingdom Spirit, I am afraid he will find himself in great danger.

So I am asking for volunteers. I need to send you out into the Dark Jungles to find the Dreamfinder or else the last beat of imagination this place has will be snuffed out and everything we have been working towards will be destroyed.

[His voice grew far more grim.]

That includes your own worlds. If The Corrosion destroys Main Street, then there is nothing left between it and your worlds. And...once it leaves the Kingdoms- it can not be stopped. If you wish to volunteer please, let me know.

The fate of Imagination is in your hands, Apprentices. Do with that, what you will.

Okay. What can you tell us about where we'll be going? Is there a map?

The Dark Jungles were once a rather bustling port and tourist area for the Magic Kingdoms. Though lately it is rather dangerous.

I will provide a map, but what is shown may not look the same. I recall the Oasis as being rather bright and lush, filled with very colorful characters and plenty of noise and music. Currently, you will only find several run down buildings and quite a lot of Corroded.

So we'll have to use our imagination to decipher it...

[something clicks, and despite how dire the situation is, she grins]

... That's good, right? The more we have to use it, the stronger our Sparks get. So ...

[on a roll, now!] - so whatever map you have, make sure it's as accurate to the way things used to be as you can. If we can picture how everything used to look, it might weaken the Corroded, right?

[It is not very often that Merlin let's himself look impressed, but for a brief moment he does.]

Er, yes that's...that's it exactly. At least in regards to your class- the others will have to weaken them physically but, yes. I, I will remember to do that.

[meaningfully] I have a good teacher, Merlin. I want to be sure I get him back.

Really now?

[That is a first, but he won't contradict her.]

Then, prepare yourself for the Dark Jungles, young lady.

Of course. But you know more about them ... is there anything else we need to worry about? Poisonous vines? Flesh-eating piranhas? Malaria?

[ladies and gentlemen, her gothic highness, Lydia Deetz. who totally sounds excited about this.]

Good heavens. Ah, I would hope not.

[not something to really become excited over???]

There are plenty of dangerous things to keep an eye out for. Hippos, piranha and head hunters. All of which would be less than friendly at this juncture.

Head-hunters?!

[SO COOL nope sorry Merlin she's legit stoked]

Deadly VU. I definitely need to try and get a camera before we go. ... I mean, yeah, to document the Corroded, but ... Wow.
