[Eley has been thinking lately, and these thoughts have culminated into more questions. Not the usual questions about the hows and whys of humanity however, but something a little more specific... and personal.

It was not unknown to him that there was a likely chance he would forget everything that had happened in Luceti should he return home. There was another side to this though that had occurred to him as he stayed by his tree and mulled over the various trinkets people had offered him as gifts over the years.]

I wonder... although memories are fleeting here, is it also reasonable to assume that there is no way of taking the possessions you have gained here back to your own world? If it were possible, I wonder if I would be the only one enamoured with the chance to bring something important... useful, back home. What would you wish to take if given the opportunity? Presents? Things tied with memories? Or... something that may save the life of another? Luceti is a culmination of many worlds after all. The possibilities...

[His words trail off into silence.]

[In contrast to his thoughtful reflections, Eley decides to take a trip to the beach later in the day. Anyone in the area will notice a large six-winged white dragon apparently digging in the sand and sweeping it into a pile with his tail. When he gets far enough in his little project, it seems he's just made a large mound for some reason, but there's a point to all of this! Only... now he seems to have gotten stuck. He sits down, staring at his hill of sand as he tries to work out what his next move should be...

...maybe you should go and see what the problem is?]

If there was something I would bring back from here, it would be a way to get Voyager back home.

[Eley's digging does get the attention of someone. Another creature not too dissimilar from the dragon himself.

There is a few moments of splashing, turbulent water before a large white dragon-like creature emerges from the ocean and comes up onto the beach.]

May I ask what you are doing?

Voyager? Is that a person? Are they lost?

[It made sense, considering she was trying to get it 'back home'.]

Voyager is our ship. There's about 150 of us, and yes... we're lost.

[The movement in the water naturally catches Eley's attention too and he watches as the turbulence within seems to grow... revealing a large white creature. Eley didn't make many trips to the beach, so it wasn't all that surprising that he had never realised something like this was living in the ocean out here.

He takes a moment to answer, still rather stunned that this... being had suddenly appeared to see what he was doing. It seems that they spoke in similar ways too.]

I was attempting to build something called a 'sand castle'. I had read that it was something humans enjoy creating and... I thought a replica of a building from home may prove comforting.

A ship... I admit that such vessels are something that Thalassa would have more knowledge of than myself. I believe that sailors use the stars to navigate though, yes? Will this not help you?

Well no... not exactly. Our ship doesn't travel on the water, it travels through space.

[He certainly hadn't meant to startle Eley, but Lugia is a friendly looking creature. And he looks over at the mound of sand as he explains what he's doing.]

I have seen humans doing this, yes. But... this does not look like a castle.

[ Helios is out by the beach today taking the dragons out on a walk and also just to soak up the sun. The floating ruins in the distance make him curious too, but he has yet to go there and explore. He'll notice the dragon digging through the sand and he'll let Luminair down to go greet Eleytheria. Both Maggir and Luminair will chirp happily to notify Eley of their presence. ]

Eleytheria?

[Oh wait... he had heard of something like that before.]

Are you an acquaintance of Spock? He also spoke of a ship that sailed the stars.

[The dragon lowers his head a little, seemingly a bit embarrassed.]

Yes... I know it is nothing but a simple mound. I am... not used to creating things. I was trying to decide on what exactly I should do next to give it the appearance of a castle.

[Hm... Lugia considers it a moment and pats the mound lightly with a wing.]

I am not sure. It is difficult when you don't have hands.

Yes, we live together actually. He's from the same universe that I'm from. Sort of.

[Eley hears the chirps before he hears Helios' voice and turns his head to see the two dragons and his friend approaching. He presses his nose to the dragons in greeting, before looking to Helios.]

Helios, I had not expected to see you out here.

[He offers a small smile as he looks at Luminair and Maggar, curious.]

Perhaps you would like to assist me in something. I am attempting to build something called a 'sand castle'.

...I could take my human form, but then the castle would be far too small to enter.

[Because yes he wants to build a literal sand castle. Or at least a little shelter that could be used by someone.]

[Spock had heard Eley's video earlier that day, and decided not to answer. He wasn't the type of guy to just talk about this kind of emotional stuff.
But he knew exactly what he would take with him.

Walking, the Vulcan found himself down by the beach, and quirked an eyebrow at the big white dragon.]

Mister Eleytheria?

[It's summer, so Aang makes trips up to the beach fairly regularly. Today, he spots a very familiar dragon and is quickly concerned. He glides down to a landing nearby and approaches Eleytheria from the front.]

Eleytheria! Are you alright?

...sort of?

[No doubt another case of crossed timelines or something like that.]

Never mind. I know little about your technology... in fact it is probably best that I stay away from it... but I am still rather fascinated by your ability to travel the stars. I imagine it would be easy to become lost out there.

[Had Eley been aware of it, he might have questioned him further. He had his own ideas in mind of course, but perhaps that was a subject for another time.

At the moment, the Spirit was greeting his friend at his place on the beach, turning his head to speak with him.]

Spock? It is good to see you again. Perhaps you would like to help me with something. I am trying to build a castle from sand... however, I am unsure of the best way to approach it.

[The dragon watches as Aang descends, noting the look of concern on his face as he comes closer. He greets him with a smile though, trying to put him at ease. This wasn't a problem that would harm him, simply... an activity for fun.]

I am well, Aang. Tell me, what do you know of 'sand castles'?

[Aang's face quickly brightens up as he hears this.]

I know that they're one of the most fun things ever! You can make all kinds of neat castles out of just sand, and it's really really really fun!

[Eley looks a little surprised. They're really that fun? Well then, taking on this project obviously was a good idea for someone like him!

He chuckles to himself.]

Very well. Perhaps you would like to assist me since you seem to enjoy creating them. As you can see, I have piled up sufficient sand to build a castle, however I am not quite sure how to go about making it... castle-shaped.

[To be fair, it's easy for Aang to consider most things to be the most fun ever...]

Sure! You have to work on shaping the sand. Sometimes it helps to have tools for that. Toy tools! But I have bending, so that'll help too. [And he moves over towards part of the pile of sand, and he starts trying to shape it with his bare hands.] Just try to watch me!

You wish to live in it?

[Lugia hadn't considered that and looks at the mound again, at a bit of a loss.]

Ah, not to live. But a temporary shelter would be nice, would it not? Even if for others and not for myself.

I suppose I am seeking to replicate something simply to be... creative. To be explored. For fun.

[If it made others happy in the process then that was always a bonus.
