The scaled boy is entranced by the mermaid and her dragon, who weave magic into scaled grass and seafoam, seemingly at will. His eyes are wide with wonder as he curbs the urge to reach out and stroke Fable. The dragon was catlike, and there was something vaguely familiar about the way he twined about Isra’s legs. For the briefest moment, Pan has a flash of a vision, of an otter’s sleek brown body twined around his shoulders. But before he can analyze the thought, it’s gone like the wind from his mind. Besides, there were so many questions on his lips… it did not do to dwell on dreams. Neverland is a magical place indeed… there’s a burrow where I live with the Lost Boys, deep in the green forest. It’s hidden away of course, so the pirates don’t find it… and only the boys and the fairies know where it is. He spoke with such excitement that his words were rushed and jumbled, but it was clear that the boy had so much he wanted to share about his dreams. As he turned to smile at the Sovereign of the Night court, there is a sparkle in his eye for the first time in what seemed like forever. Of course… you probably know all about it, being a mermaid and all. There’s the mermaid lagoon – where the waves meet the sand, and jewel-toned ladies bathe beneath the sunlight. Their voices are so lovely, when they sing… like angels. Nevermind that their songs drove many a man mad, and that the mermaids were known to drag sailors to their deaths beneath the briny deep. Pan was little more than a boy, so they posed no threat to him, or to any of the Lost Boys. Instead, they were simply an enticing sort of pleasure. Its lovely here too though, with the stardust and the statues. I learned about Caligo earlier… she’s your goddess, right? He left out the part where Katniss had explained that perhaps Caligo wasn’t worthy of their worship. For Pan knew better than to speak ill of the gods. He believed in all of them, and paid them tribute in kind. And so, the boy waits beneath the stars for whatever stories Isra wanted to share, eager to let his imagination soar in this new and exciting world.
