No dream, then.

[traaaaaash]

probably not but a collective illusion instead

[downswing]

I thought it wanting. In shape. In essence.

[traaaaaash]

i've had prettier dreams for sure

[downswing]

What shape did you take within the realm?

I wonder how a beast like that had the power to create such a powerful illusion but since it was also siphoning energy from us, maybe that's how.

[traaaaaash]

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm guessing that was just its way of tranquilizing us until it had drained all our energy and we die or something.

[scrapgege]

I guess so. Still, I've never seen this kind of demonic beast before.

[traaaaaash]

Actually, I used to know a guy like that. Not sure his visions were collective, though.

[ Also, she ate him. ]

It was not just you.

[traaaaaash]

weird

since then

[intermingled]

It brought me back to a moment when I could not parse time in a linear fashion.

So yes, I have been left somewhat unsettled.

[traaaaaash]

wait you've experienced something like that before?

Was that all you saw?

[traaaaaash]

Well, I also saw strange person-shaped creatures. Couldn't talk to them, though.

And words in the sand.

[cairhien]

Do you recall what the words said?

[traaaaaash]

Seemed like some kind of children's rhymes.

The kraken was no ordinary beast. It was made of the dark water pouring from the fissures at the bottom of the sea. The dark water, the mirrors are known for transporting people as is.

How long were you caught by it?

[traaaaaash]

hard to tell

could've been minutes, could've been hours

[inferus]

But you were kept underwater?

Clearly its goal was not to kill you. Most would drown underwater for that length of time.

[traaaaaash]

i was, yeah

it kept me alive, but for what purpose

A weird gray landscape?

( Emilia did not misread, she is simply a little unnerved — and curious to know more. )

[traaaaaash]

yeah

like a beach, but everything was desaturated

[valeas]

That's not ominous.

Are you all right?

[traaaaaash]

little bit out of it but ehhh it'll be fine

probably
