Dreams in Great Forks
Fortifier dreams of flying above the great field of Claslat, not aboard Cinshan, but in formation with them, when a great blightworm shrieks and attacks him, its ferocity such that he wakes in a sweat, panting.
Fortifier, in his dreams, wanders the tower of the Thearchs, finding yourself in Sees-Your-Soul's office, but it's not empty, you want to speak up, but notice he's having company, lovely company.
The local goddesses Life of Kittens and Pale Carnation of Passion are arguing:
Pale: "You've given my proposition some thought?"
Kittens snorts
Sees-your-soul: "Yes, but now is not the time, both your temples are in contravention to the ordnances..."
Pale: "Only by a single cubit, for the entire size of the temple..."
Kittens: "My temple is also a shelter for the local cats, that local ordnance that limits cat occupation is against my purview, and hostile to my interests..."
SYS: "Be that as it may..."
Kitten: "No, listen to me, Semi-mortal-made-of-metal-that-screams-in-the-dark! I will not put kittens to sleep, not for such a spurious reason, not when you could just exclude me from this regulation, since it's a regulation meant to regulate cattle for sacrifices, which my kittens aren't! They're living their best lives, and enjoying being my companions, and harm no one! NO ONE! I have them all fed from food scraps to prevent them from killing any living thing!"
Dreamflower dreams, there is a peaceful river, and she and Tidetamer are enjoying a race. Then six great white undead Siaka attack and render Tidetamer limb for limb, and you awake, quite upset.
Stelsor, despite not needing to sleep, does indeed kinda doze off, especially when not stimulated, or after significant exertion. This time you dream of The Green Lady, and her meeting with four Deathlords: the Silver Prince, the Bishop, the Mask of Winters and Walker in Darkness, the Walker in Darkness apparently marrying her quite fetching ghost form, while Mask and her apparently had sex like wild rabbits. Then she learns she's pregnant, and disappears, Mask appears distraught, but clueless as to her identity.
You see Da-Ni-Ko and Da-Ni-Ka, in seperate comfortable, but quite secure cells in the Forbidden Manse of Ivy, and notice a presence: Deathrose Pot-pourri, chosen of the Lover clad in the raiment of tears, but she disappears when she realizes she's been noticed.
You woke up in sweat, your two companions gently murmuring, and the three of you going back to sleep, but not before remembering the last thing you saw in your dream, a colossal dragon made of fire and starstuff, its own great bulk darkened in comparison to its own light, shooting fire into your face:
