Before he laid his head down for his nightly thinking session. A soft mysterious voice wished him "sweet dreams my wanderer." Something softly fell before I could place the voice. My eyelids feel heavy. And before I knew it. I was in a fantastical environment that I haven't seen in all my travels. As the fish flew like they were always home in the sky and the river water played leapfrog with the glass frogs. I somehow felt like I had to find a wand even though I don't know what one would look like.

I heard a humming from someone my puppet gut said was Anderson even before his four arms started playing an unfamiliar song about rainbows and hoedowns. "Howdy partner. Would you join me in meandering this here world?" Before I could say no. My mouth blurted out the opposite of what I was going to say.
Suddenly with a blink of an eye the world shifted. "Inazuma shines eternal" my mother said as a temple of pure lighting flooded the scene. "Temple of wisdom" screamed an older looking buer as she pulled a sword of dendro from her chest. "I will have order" shouted a gentleman dressed in well dressed browns and golds. As a sandstorm of pure geo came out once he used his bow at a bard. "Let's play" the green clad bard giggled out as a ball of pure anemo energy hit the ground when he crossed his arms. Anderson suddenly transformed into the big robot that I once was. And fought all four of those archons at once. One for each arm. Suddenly a huge oak table as Anderson, the archons and me sat down for tea. With Anderson still being the big robot holding a teeny tiny teacup. A swipe of soft desert sand shifted the world again.

As the white soft sand cleared. A blurred out face with a humanlike sand filled body fished out a glass bottle with a note in it. It read Wanderer wanders wand and anders Anderson. The humanlike sand creature soon had thinking clouds like that I somehow know that the traveler did for the saberz festival. When the creature of pure white sand completed the thinking game. A board of strange letters hovered in front of it. Suddenly Sandy the sand creature swiftly serenaded the strange letters to summon an equally strange story. As Sandy shifted around to face me holding a simple wooden wand. "Wake up Wanderer. Wake up. Wake up." Her voice sounded like Nahida's as the wooden wand booped my nose.

I awoke from that strange dream feeling somehow refreshed even though puppets like me don't need sleep. With Buer jumping on my bed with a bottle with a note inside of it. "Here's for you though I don't know why. I just found it on your nightstand." The note repeated what the note said in the dream except with something different. I mumbled something new on the note to myself."Happily ever after the end"
