Some sort of stone dais in the wilderness, surrounded by three stone pillars with holes in them, rounded on top -- are you familiar with it? Are you there?
I had a dream. A vision.
You were in it. You were there. And you were in danger.
It could be the shrines near the woods? I was just there. I donโt go to the ritual sites often, but they have pillars there as well. The sun is out. Iโm keeping to my room for the next hours.
I'm sorry, Louis. I'm afraid I don't know much -- or anything, really -- about Solvunn's geography. There was a forest, and those pillars. It did look like a shrine.
In the dream, it was nighttime. I saw through the eyes of a
A creature. I could see its limbs as if they were my own, bulky and reptilian. A monster of some kind, but... dressed. It had red tassels dangling beneath its chin like a bizarre beard, and it was wearing golden armor, of all things.
I'd compliment the ensemble on a better day, but
[ Even over the mental network, the appearance of his 'handwriting' is a little shaky. Unnerved, scrawled fast and frightened. ]
I don't know what it is, but I could feel it came from somewhere else. And it was watching you.
Forgive me. I meant to check-in earlier, but it's been terrible out here. I omitted it prior during our meeting, since I don't often disclose the Gifts I was given. I'm telepathic. If I let down my shields, I can sense everyone's apprehension. I've been having to, to find locals. It's a lot.
The beasts might as well be a biblical apocalypse. Then again, we've already encountered many threats. I'm starting to think we might not be as welcomed as some seem to think.
{ perhaps talking it out with someone helps, the private line, to be able to drop in and give a check-in. he's missed the connection of it, and when someone reaches out via network in this manner, it reminds him of what he had. despite his complicated relationship, he didn't mind armand in his head occasionally. he got used to it, and it's not the same via network, but it's close enough. }
I'm rambling. How's everything over there? I hope you're safe. I know I shouldn't, but I find myself in the mountains tonight. There's something important to me that I must protect. I meant to ask. Do you often get visions?
There's no end to the monsters coming out of the rifts here, either. Several locations have been found, and Thornean officials made portals to get assistance more easily where it's needed.
I'm glad you're all right. (You are all right, aren't you?)
Whatever your Gifts are, it seems you've been using them to help people. I'm sorry it's been so difficult.
Are you alone in the mountains?
Sorry, almost missed your question. A lot to focus on here, too.
No. The visions are new. It was only the one, of you. Nothing since.
So the whole world is burning. Been through two World Wars back home to understand that.
I'm glad you're still kickin'. Next time we meet, I'll tell you more about my Gifts. (We will meet again.)
For now I am. Alright, I mean. I have been making sure sacred areas are not destroyed. The shrines out here are tombstones for some locals. It wouldn't be right for them to be gone.
The ritual site you told me about? I think I found it. I am being extra careful around here.
Please, take care of yourself. And be especially wary of the monsters whose Arcana match yours. I'm not certain, but there have been a few incidents where the correlation seemed to cause a bad reaction.
{ there's a silence on his end for a moment. louis thinks rhy is the good man from presence alone. louis has had his share of reading men plenty to know what self-interest and the ugly are. rhy is not that. but, he reserves thoughts for another time when it allows them to take a breather. instead, he hopes the gratefulness is seen in his response before his connection gets redirected towards the dismay of beasts running about. }
And you, take care. I hope to see you on the other side afterwards. I'd like to have more chats if our paths continue to allow it.
