       Once Max had gone to bed she had done the same. It didn't take
       her long to start dreaming, and once she did she was able to
       enter the Worlds Dream. IT looked like a deep forest with trees
       larger then the largest Redwoods on earth. It was dark, the sky
       overhead obscures by leaves and branches.
       Normally when she arrived she would have shifted into her Urshal
       form, but knowing that Solomon was supposed to be joining her
       she remained in her human form. She took care with her dream
       appearance dressed in normal clothing of a tee-shirt, jeans
       boots and a leather jacket.  She stood on what might be
       considered a path through the forest her hands tucked into the
       pockets of her jacket as she waited. In the distance the sound
       of creatures hunting could be heard. They were not quite close
       enough to worry het yet.

       Solomon appears moments later, the mage's appearance more misty
       and insubstantial than it would be normally. Given where they
       are, though, dreaming shortcuts or not, he suddenly seems
       uncomfortable.
       Focusing for a few seconds, Solomon suddenly manifests what
       looks like a binding circle beneath himself, which shins upward
       creating a protective cylinder around himself. An Amnion, though
       it's doubtful anyone other than another mage would know what
       that is offhand.
       Relaxing, then, he turns back around to look towards Miri. The
       supernal overlays his sight for a few moments, confirming that
       she's sleeping and that they're in the astral. Given that he's
       already needing to focus through the whirl of his Amnion,
       though, he quickly lets his senses return to normal.
       "Wow. This is indeed it. The Dreaming Earth. The Anima Mundi.
       And you simply end up here every night?" he asks. No hello, how
       are you, or anything like that. Mages have their focuses, after
       all...

       Miri curiously takes in Solomons's misty and insubstantial
       appearance. Maybe it was that way because he wasn’t supposed to
       be here. She looked down at herself but looked as solid as she
       always did. She lifted an eyebrow as the glowing cylinder
       increased him a small smirk curving her lips.
       “What don’t trust me to be able to protect you while you are
       where? I am guessing that was some sort of protection spell?”
       It actually probably wasn’t a bad idea. She was not the best at
       fighting, but she wasn’t going to tell him that.
       She smiled at him and nodded. “Yes, every night. Welcome to my
       dream Soloman. Are you ready to explore a bit? Maybe I can find
       a spirit that i like for the pack I am forming.

       Solomon shrugs slightly. "Yes and no," he says. "Most people
       need protection when they reach this far into the Astral. We
       call it an Amnion. It protects our sense of self from eroding in
       a realm that's about the whole, not the parts," he explains.
       "Which... makes it all the more curious that you don't need to
       do anything like that, despite coming here every night."
       Then again, it's not as if the goetia need it, which might imply
       more of a connection to them. The Mystery deepens.
       "Oh you don't have a pack yet? I suppose that explains why I met
       you alone and not with a half dozen other eyes glaring from the
       shadows," he mentions with a bit of a chuckle, "Interesting.
       Well, I'd be happy to help you look."
       The 'spirits' of the Dreaming Earth are different from normal
       spirits, but Miri would of course know that there are exceptions
       to every rule and Packs have been bound around stranger Totems
       than ghehalith.

       Amnion.”She pronounced the word carefully and cautiously moved
       closer to him to look at the shield around him. “What happens if
       something or someone touches it?”
       She looked thoughtful when he mentioned the realm being about he
       whole not the parts. “That is curious since Urath are as much
       spirit as man, and as much wolf as spirit.”
       “One theory is because this is something like Pangea, and the
       spirit here is a shard of Father Wolf.” She made a face as she
       said it. “It is not a very popular opinion.”
       She shook her head. “No, no pack, well a pack of one other I
       just recruited them earlier today their name is Max.”
       “The pack I had before most moved away when they were old
       enough, or in the case of Thomas decided to try and take on
       something he shouldn’t have without others being there.” There
       was a bit of bitterness in that statement.
       “I am not sure if i will find a Spirit here that will work, but,
       no dream is to be wasted.” She smiled a bit and turned to walk
       with him deeper into the forest.

       "If you touch it just to touch it, nothing. If you touch it by
       trying to attack it, it will be like trying to tear through a
       wall," he answers her question with an amused look. "Not that
       the Uratha can't manage that sort of feat when they need to..."
       Need to be sure it's not worded as a challenge, after all.
       He listens curiously about the talk of Pangaea. That's not an
       unheard of thing to hear about among circles of mages, although
       the Thrice-Great tend to associate it closely with Atlantis. So
       who knows if it ever truly existed. "Well, that's the sort of
       thing we're going to work together to find out," he claims.
       "Anyway, that's good to know. I'll have to meet Max at some
       point, if we're to be neighbors and all," he says, nodding. Yet
       unaware of his destiny to be part of that pack.
       Just nodding at the rest, he turns to follow after her, looking
       carefully around the woods.
       "Is the plan to hunt, or..." Solomon's voice trails off as he
       notices a veritable horde in the sky. What looks like a gigantic
       bird made out of a swarm of smaller birds seems to be patrolling
       the area, or maybe just heading somewhere else.
       But... apparently the two of them are interesting, because it's
       quickly diverting to dive down in their direction...

       She noticed the horde of birds at the same time Solomon did.
       There was no other way of describing it, it was much more than a
       simple flock. As he changed course and started heading for them
       she shifted to Dalu and placed herself a bit in front of
       Solomon.
       “The plan was to see if we could find something friendly to talk
       to start. We will see if this is that, or if we unwittingly
       stepped into territory we shouldn’t have.”
       She waited and once the flock seemed close enough she lifted her
       face toward them and spoke with as much authority as she could
       muster.
       “We do not come seeking aggression, we are not hunting simply
       seeking this night.”

       "I really hope they listen..." Solomon murmurs in response to
       Miri's words.
       As the gargantuan horde of birds grows closer, flying at speeds
       the pair could only dream of (as they technically are now), it
       might seem like Miri's words have been lost on it. Solomon steps
       back, looking like he's preparing to do something, as he calls
       upon his mastery of Mind to protect his dreaming form from
       assault.
       But they stop short. It's... actually a fairly fascinating
       process to watch, as the front-most birds land on the tree
       branches nearby, and the rest of the swarm suddenly collides
       into that handful of birds, collapsing in on them like a deck of
       shuffled cards, making those avians just a little larger than a
       normal starling each.

       As that dozen or so remaining birds land, several of them start
       chirping, and then one of them speaks up, using Miri's voice.
       “We do not come seeking aggression, we are not hunting simply
       seeking this night.”
       The rest of them all make fluttery sounds that sound like
       bird-laughter. Solomon looks like he might chuckle too until
       another one mocks him.
       "I really hope they listen..."
       Another cacophony of chirpy laughs. The mage is suddenly a
       little less amused.
       "Come on then, slow ones! Run! We're going exploring!" another
       speaks up in a voice closer to what one might expect of a bird.
       A fourth chimes in, "Berries! There are berries this way! We saw
       them! Come along!"
       Fwoosh
       The birds take off, and in a reverse of what had just happened,
       as each one starts to leap into the air, the horde reforms by
       launching outward ahead of them, forming the large flock they
       had first spotted.

       She looked momentarily annoyed as the spirit birds mimicked what
       she had said but she sighed and shook her head letting the
       annoyance and and even smirked a bit when the mimicked Solomon
       instead. When they were invited to explore with the starlings
       she seemed please, up until they all took off if a whoosh
       leaving her and Solomon behind. She looked at Solomon for a
       moment. They would never keep up with the flock in their human
       forms, and she doubted he could take the form of a wolf.
       So she shifted not into Uran but into Urshal. the dire wolf
       form, and here the The Worlds Dream she was even bigger then the
       horse sized would she normally would be. Crouching down she
       pointed her nose at Solomon and then at her back in a clear
       indication for him to climb on.

       Solomon already seems to be doing some mental calculus on the
       best way to try and keep up with the birds; he's certainly
       better suited for working within the Shadow, even if he's been
       developing his Mind magics.
       But before he can decide on something, he notices that Miri is
       shifting forms, into a particularly large version of a dire
       wolf, and his eyes widen slightly. Is she really suggesting  he
       can ride on her? That's... unexpected.
       "You're sure?" he asks, even as he's already moving to carefully
       climb onto her back.
       The Starlings are moving quickly, but slowly enough that if she
       really books it they can probably catch up.
