First night!

Calling Castle Roogna! Come in Castle Roogna!

Hey! Dummy mirror on the other side! Go wake up Dad! I know what time it is, but it's important! He won't smash you, I promise!

[It's wicked late, and sorry to everyone who didn't muffle and block their mirrors. She clearly didn't connect to where she wanted!]

Earth... that's... Mundania. I didn't know demons still existed there. There's no magic... oh but maybe it's only for demons?

I dunno. Why not? Isn't it the same usefulness like you changing other things? Only it keeps them safe too. Demons can all fuzz out so nothing hits them. That's why Esk was looking for Hugo's Dad for an answer how to deal with Demoness Metria.

I'm the only one on Earth, really, the rest generally stick to the basement.

You're demons don't have a 'basement' do they? They must do, otherwise why would they be demons... they would all be angels still. Say, why haven't you mentioned angels yet? If your world has demons then it must also have angels?

[enhancomancer]

No... I don't know what--

Oh!!! You mean Hell?

Never heard of an angel? You don't mean angles, right?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He had been trying to avoid using that word, stupid really... that's what it was and the kid must have heard worse! ]

Yeah, Hell. You have heard of it then?

But never angels? Sanctimonious things with big white wings?

[enhancomancer]

[The other words are protected by the adult conspiracy, however demons live in hell, it's just a fact!]

Where demons live when they're not on the surface.

No? Is that what winged centaurs are called where you're from? Chex's wings aren't white though, they're iridescent. [Very proud of the use of this word.]

[serpentinthegarden]

No, never mind... probably doesn't matter. Maybe the demons won in your world.

[enhancomancer]

Huh?

[serpentinthegarden]

Like I said forget it. Just lean back against your dragon and close your eyes. Does some one usually tell you a story or do you usually go to sleep on your own?

[enhancomancer]

Stories are always great! Usually the ghosts talk to me and sometimes the tapestry illustrates the history of what they're talking about.

[serpentinthegarden]

This isn't going to be a ghost story... Just cuddle in and listen.

[ While his voice grows softer and more appropriate to lull an excited Princess to sleep. ]

There once was a little Princess, about your age really... and oddly enough she had a pet dragon too, but she was a good little girl and always did exactly what her parents told her to do. She ate her vegetables with out a fuss and without feeding any of them to her pet dragon under the table. She always did her homework every night and without slipping away to take her dragon for walks in the garden. And she never would join her dragon friend in his rolls through the autumn leaves because it would mess up her clothing. She was a very dull little girl indeed and in her arrogant goodness she never noticed that she had been neglecting her dear pet dragon. So one evening after being told that he couldn't beg for treats at the table and that dragons had to sleep outside instead of at the foot of the Princess's bed the dragon had enough. He gobbled up the little Princess and then ate all of her vegetables, ripped up all of her homework, played with all of her toys, rolled in all the leaves, and took over her entire bed as his own. So you see there are dangers to always trying to be a good little girl, make sure you break the rules now and then.

[enhancomancer]

[Ivy is delighted!] What a great story! Thank you, I shall be sure to never neglect my dragons, or anything else, and always break some rules for fun! Goodnight Demon Crowley! Thanks for the story and dragon!

[serpentinthegarden]

Night Princess.

[ He turned the mirror off and sat it down on the end table before burying his head back into his pillow. ]
