"Bastion had always held his friends in higher regard than himself. even those who weren't over 100 times his size. but even then, he couldn't look away from his dear friend (and fellow royal) the insanely huge Prince Ric Ultima of the Jackal empire being in a great depression.
naturally, due to a size disparity between the Aivadan wolf and the prince of the godlike jackals, Bastion could not so easily give his physical or emotional support upon seeing the jackal in despair.
however, Bastion is adept at dreamwalking...
so one night, as the immense prince lay sleeping, his dreams began to mist over, and his nightmares melted away. he found himself in the arms of his usually much tinier friend, cuddling him upon a bed formed in his dreams. though he could not help physically, in the dream world Bastion could shape the jackal prince's landscape to one of comort.
"i'm always here for you Ric" Bastion would gently whisper, and held close his monumental comrade. this night, the prince would sleep peacefully, knowing his friend--though tiny in reality-- could hold him close and cozy here, in the landscape of dreaming.
the sleeping mouth of Ric gently curls as he rolls over in his bed, arms mimicking cuddling his friend back if he were there. the wolf may be tiny to a celestial Jackal like him; less than a grain of sand by comparison...but that never meant he cared any less." (Written by Bastion)
