The Onironaut

"Elara hummed a low, rumbling purr against Finn's chest as the familiar shimmer began to coalesce around them. One moment, they were curled on his worn armchair in their home in Derry, Ireland countryside, the scent of brewing coffee still lingering in the air. The next, the edges of the room blurred, the vibrant colours bleeding into a soft, pearlescent haze. Finn felt the familiar tug behind his eyes, a gentle pulling that always accompanied their transitions. Elara, ever the seasoned traveler, stretched languidly, her emerald eyes already losing their sharp focus, gazing instead into the swirling vortex of possibilities that lay between the awaken world and the boundless landscapes of Somnus. He tightened his grip on her warm fur, a small anchor in the dissolving reality, and whispered, "Ready for tonight's wanderings, old girl?"
