Cenarius fell silent for a moment, then said, "You don't know how to lie. Your eyes always give you away, Shawn. I sense that our time together may be coming to an end. As your teacher, I will give you one last lesson: how to enter the Emerald Dream."
"The Emerald Dream?"
"The Titan Keeper Freya created a dimension suffused with the magic of nature and spirits, called the Emerald Dream. It exists as a mirror of Azeroth, helping the Keepers manage the evolution of nature. Now it is governed by Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen. There are no concepts of time and space there-or rather, time and space are elusive and do not move in step with the outside world."
Cenarius said, "The Wild Gods often enter the Emerald Dream and wander there. Once you master the way to enter it, you can visit from anywhere to observe Goldrinn or the other Wild Gods. But it is very dangerous."
"Very dangerous?"
"Yes, very dangerous. Your body will enter a state of suspended animation, while your spirit roams an unrestrained world. The dream will take you wherever you wish to go. Even well-trained, experienced druids can easily lose their way in the Emerald Dream. I call it the Emerald Dream because Ysera, its mistress, is emerald in color. This is her kingdom, so she guards it, and few can enter. The Forest Wardens here sometimes use the Emerald Dream as well, but they do so cautiously."
"A wondrous realm," Shawn remarked.
"Indeed, wondrous-and dangerous. You must concentrate. If you become distracted, even the most experienced can lose their way on the journey back," Cenarius replied. "The same is true of me. Your thoughts must remain sharply focused at all times, your goal clear. Otherwise... otherwise, your body will sleep forever."
