My name is Wander, and, as you can tell by the form, I am an associate. No, you don’t need a surname. My little friend? He’s named Wonder. I didn’t pick it. I don’t think he picked it either? Well, of course, he could pick it if he wanted to, he’s very smart. Yes, he can speak. He usually chooses not to. At least, vocally. The story of how we met, I’ll admit, is a bit confusing. I’m still not sure what happened, I just know it happened in a dream. I’m serious.

Have you ever had a dream so vivid it etched itself into your mind? It’s like a memory of something that never happened, only this dream did happen. I remember falling asleep, and I remember being woken up by a conversation echoing in my mind.

“Isn’t this… just a little crazy?” “It is.” “How can you even be sure this will work?” “Because I remember it.” “Oh. That’s a normal thing to say.”

I found myself in the void, with a lone road stretched before me. I did what anyone else would do in a dream… I followed the road. A crooked lamp stood where the road ended, and in its light stood a cloaked figure. And on his shoulder stood a cloaked… creature. Can creatures wear cloaks? In my dreams they can, I guess.

“I take it you brought me here?” I asked the figure. I wasn’t much of a dream walker then. At the time, I was wearing a nightly talisman to ward off evil spirits. Unfortunately this meant dreamless nights. So how then, was I dreaming?

“I did.” The man said. He then lifted his hand, as if to stop me from asking why. I had decided then that I did not like this fellow. “The world is ending soon. You’ll need this.” The cloaked creature on his shoulder lifted off into the air, and brought me a small bundle. Inside, what looked like a small dragon.

I lifted the small dragon carefully, as it was a dragon. “What is this?” I asked, with confusion. The cloaked creature had already flown back to the man. When did that happen? It’s so hard following the timeline of a dream.

“It’s my gift to you. His name is Wonder. He’ll give you power, and you, in turn, will care for him. He is quite smart, you see.” He paused for a moment, and turned his head to the cloaked creature on his shoulder. “No. I wasn’t talking about you.”

“I don’t understand.” I said, truthfully.

“In time, you will.” He said, with a grin. I mentioned that I hated this guy, right?

The dragon in my arms started to stir. “What am I supposed to do with this… power?” A growing unease rose in me. The abyss around me started to grow murky. “For now… Survive. It’s time to wake up, Wander.”

And that’s it. Ever since, Wonder and I have traveled the land, and now we’re here, joining the Round table as associates.
