Mia and her brother Oliver share their understanding of Nilimbiaâs wonders and mysteries including the creatures that inhabit it with the newest of their family to be brought into the hidden realm. Together humans and hybrids learn and laugh as they explore each otherâs worlds and weave dreams. Technologies, territories and projects are created and new realities expand both worlds beyond capacity. Magic leaks from Nilimbia and spills into the Land Down Under exposing the hidden world to invasion and collapse.
The Dream Team and Nilibians accept that making the impossible a reality will Take a Nation. United they shut down the portals for a full moon cycle whole creating a powerful virtual reality dream to prepare humans for full exposure to Nilimbia. The message, C.O.V.I.D. is a simple one. Care in all you do. Open your eyes. Very carefully walk. Imagine your best. Do your best.
