3 KISHAR AND MAMU

CHAPTER 3 KISHA AND MAMU How do you know us?" Drake asked the Dragon Master. "I am Kishar," the Dragon Master replied. "And this is Mamu, the Dream Dragon. We are the guardians of the Dream Gate." Kishar slid off Mamu's back and landed on a passing cloud. She floated toward Drake. "Let me start from the beginning," Kishar said. "Mamu, help me show them."

The Dream Dragon nodded. Her eyes glowed bright blue. She projected two beams of pale blue light onto a nearby cloud. An image of a younger Kishar and Mamu appeared. "Mamu and I were both born in the Dream World many ages ago. We have been guardians here all this time," Kishar began. "We make sure things run smoothly." "That sounds like an important job," Drake remarked.

"Yes, it is," Kishar agreed. "We make sure no humans enter the Dream World in physical form. Only dreamers may enter." "Are Worm and I dreaming?" Drake asked, "No, your real bodies are here," Kishar replied. "I will explain. Two days ago, a wizard used a powerful orb to open a path to the Dream Gate." Mamu changed the image projecting onto the cloud. It showed Zoltan traveling on a path of light. "When he reached the gate, he attacked us and used magic to force his way through it," Kishar explained. "The wizard's name is Zoltan," Drake said. "He's planning to use the powers of the Dream World to do something evil."

"We feared it might be something like that," Kishar replied. She looked at Worm. "We saw you approach the gate just before Zoltan came here, Worm. Mamu has the power to look into dreams. After Zoltan got through the gate, Mamu looked into your dreams. We saw you and Drake fighting Zoltan." Drake's eyes widened. "So that's why you brought us here." "Yes," Kishar answered. "Zoltan is here in physical form. And in your physical form, you will be able to fight him again. We are going to need your help to stop this evil wizard!"
