“Shh, it was just a bad dream. Just a dream, okay? None of it was real.” | just... kisses his nose... |

         “Are you so sure… Petra?”

          They drew hands away in reluctance of the wrath’s touch, like they might be hurt too, like in their dreams. Variks wanted to believe it wasn’t real; no, it wasn’t. But it felt like it, so now he’s weary of letting even Petra near him. He couldn’t look directly at her visor, seeming distant– haunted, like her visions ( Mandibles idly open and close like this for a few moments, before the scribe lowers his head and hangs it ).

          He doesn’t WANT Petra to see him—– like this. And he clearly flinches when she begins to move and take up the space next to him, rubbing the hand with her thumb that can actually feel, a lower arm.

          Before she opened her mouth Variks just shook his head, very solemnly. A part of him wanted to say nothing about it, nothing: like it would SAVE the trouble. The prosthetic makes a shrill creak reaching up over face, and there’s the hide of a muffled far cry, a whimper. It dies down in a chitter almost immediately and the Warden feels his own body shake. Nobody sees him like this. Nobody but…

         “Petra.”

          His voice sounds cracked and broken and clearly it’s painful to speak in a soft voice, so it just rolls into silence. He fears if he says anything more it’ll just be the shrill whine. Variks would admit he was terrified of less than FEW things in his life, but there must have been something awful in that dream to simply tear through him like this.

          Something that makes him unable to look at the emissary.

Mystery: The Vault of Glass

The image clears of dirt and dust as a hand wipes the lens clean. A figure holds the Ghost up, looking into the lens. Harsh light from an unfamiliar sun backlights the four-armed creature, making it impossible to see its face. Its massive head turns, and a clicking and chittering voice can be heard speaking to something off-screen. While the noises themselves are harsh, the tone and content seem almost gentle. A curious creature, not a violent or angry one. The lens refocuses beyond the creature’s head as it talks, and a startling landscape climbs to the horizon. It’s a paradise. Carefully tended lakes and rivers, water everywhere, wind their way between fields of lush iridescent crops and into groves of starkly colored trees. Every inch of the land seems engineered, brushed by a sculptor’s hand for form and function both. The sky is a light pink, spotted with clouds and crowded with ships. Thick lanes of aerial traffic soar through the air, tightly managed and seemingly endless. And beyond it all, above the clouds, hangs a perfect alabaster sphere. The image wobbles, shaking, flickering as if the Ghost is blinking. And the fragment ends.

"You seem to have a fever, perhaps you should rest."

meme status: accepting.

          The envoy almost shook his head immediately, hoping Eriana would understand. Was it even POSSIBLE for Lightbearer sickness to affect him— maybe their light had– at this point, he wouldn’t know. He chastised with a few clicks, turning away from the Exo.

         “No, I am… fine. It is nothing.”

          Variks does not need rest.

“Wake up! Wake up! It’s just a dream!”

meme status: accepting.

          Even then, he still held a tortured expression twisted in pain when he was forced to wake up. These were one of those nights—– sleepless nights, where he simply could not. Dim eyes fell on Petra in the dark room, shielded from the ether-rich environment. Had she walked in on to check him at night? Was he crying out and thrashing too loud? He didn’t like it when his very own dreams are TAINTED and full of vile memories or glimpses into something he fears MOST. Not even it is a safe place for him. Pain is commonly integrated in his life, he guesses.

         “Was it bad?”

          Variks is afraid she may have heard too much, does not want it to be a burden. Nothing much that he could remember, but the emissary had to yell over him to get a response, to wake him up. These became more often than not, that he’d wake up like this…

          A pair of arms wrapped around him and the scribe almost did not notice they were trying to give him a form of comfort. It was something that dimmed his voice, a sigh escaping his throat and shoulders slumped.

@thequeensemissary​ let me die in peace

[nitensalis]

Why do the Guardians get the Great Machine’s blessing, was it like that before the Whirlwind, were there Fallen heroes crowned in Ghosts who strode the battlefield fearless and full of Light? Why do they tell stories about reclaiming the lost glory of humanity, and no stories about the lost glory of Variks’ people, the House of Judgment that once kept codes of dignity and law?

nightmare starters

“Wake up! Wake up! It’s just a dream!” “What were you dreaming about…? You were shouting…” “I woke up because you were screaming so loudly.” “Shh– No, no, don’t panic, love. You’re safe now.” “It was so real! I swear! He/she was here!” “I don’t ever want to sleep again. What if– what if I dream about that again?” “If you tell me, it’ll go away. That’s what my mum/dad always told me and it’s never failed me.” “Do you want to go back to sleep, or shall I make you a cup of tea?” “I don’t want to go back to sleep…” “I’m so scared… I can’t stop seeing what I just saw. It was so vivid!” “There’s really nobody here, okay? Do you need me to show you around to prove that to you?” “How do I know I’m not still dreaming? You’re acting really strangely.” “Let’s get you to the shower, you’re covered in sweat.” “There’s really nobody else here.” “You’ve got a really bad fever. That must have caused those weird dreams.” “I don’t even know what a peaceful night’s sleep is like anymore.” “I can’t do this anymore. These nightmares have to stop…” “Shh, it was just a bad dream. Just a dream, okay? None of it was real.” “I can’t go back to sleep after that. I need coffee– no, I need a drink, a stiff one.” “How long have you been having these nightmares?” “I’ve had nightmares all my life, but they’ve been really bad recently.” “You get so worked up before you go to sleep, maybe you should try to relax a bit more. Maybe then you’ll get some rest?” “I’d kill for a peaceful night’s sleep.” “A dream catcher? Honestly? I’m not a child.” “Nothing’s ever helped this. I just need to learn to live with the fact that sleeping will always be a nightmare, literally.” “I’m so tired… but there’s no way I’m going back to sleep after that.”

It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.
