Adam opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in his room.
He found himself lying on his back, staring at a vast expanse of white nothingness. He felt slightly disoriented, as if he were in a state between slumber and wakefulness.
"I'm… dreaming," he murmured as he slowly sat up straight.
He looked around and softly called out, "Val?"
"Myu!" The adorable gray cat suddenly popped into existence and landed on his lap.
Valerian appeared excited, but also anxious as he snuggled into Adam's arms. "Brother… what is this place? I don't know how I did what I did. It just… happened."
Adam frowned as he gently held the young dragon and got to his feet.
"What do you mean?" he murmured as he looked around.
The little guy shook his head. "I don't know what I mean."
