There Colin explores friendship like he never had before... and finds that it could be the only thing he could count on to protect him.

Dreamworlds

     "Princess Darna! Do you have any comments on this new Dreamworld for children called Nakama World, the one that was opened to the public just last month? A lot of parents are concerned that giving children that much power could be dangerous, not only to the Dreamworlds Psionic Network, but to the growth and maturity of their children."


     The Princess answered. "That's interesting, because growth and maturity is the point of Nakama World. It teaches children truth and reality in a safe environment."


     "How is that possible, since everyone's Dreaming and reports suggest that the children simply go around fighting and taming animals all night?"


     "If that's truly all you think they are doing, you are sadly mistaken. That sort of activity can only take a Dreamer so far in Nakama World. There is far more to the Dreamworld than that; you would have to experience it to understand."


     "The Cult of Gaia accuses this new project of yours to be a front to give certain Dreamers added advantages and power in Dreamworlds, especially your own relatives and friends."


     "Just repeating their words, Princess."


     "Even the Gaians should know the rules of Dreamworlds by now. Anyone who seeks power there has to earn it… and pay the price."
