August set the candles about the room as he drew the shades and double checked all the locks on the doors. Bones. Was what August had decided to name the Hellhound, and it curled up now on the kitchen floor - snoozing and waiting hungrily for breakfast. The apartment was in its transfixed state, not an object out of place as he sank into the circle on the floor. His book of ceremonies levitated beside him, open to the page on dream walking as he whispered the incantation across the pieces he’d collected that would tie him to Aria’s dreams.
She wasn’t expecting him, so this was going to be interesting. August sat on his knees and leaned back, eyes towards the pale moonlight that filtered through the curtains, heavy lids drew him down as he felt the sensation of sinking back, like falling through vacant space. August planned out the landscape he intended to bring about with him, it wasn’t necessary, but he didn’t particularly want to see whatever Aria was dreaming about at this time of night.
Light rolled over the hill as the Blood Tree bloomed cherry blossoms that seemed to dance across the Forest of Eyes. It looked decidedly less frightening absolved of the mist and barren limbs, the gnarled roots became inviting chairs, the normally gray sky was full and blue. One black cloud, especially puffy with scarlet hues, floated down from the sky, carrying the ambitious young witch upon it. August came upon Aria shortly thereafter, he’d wanted to give her time to get reacquainted with her surroundings. He smiled, glad that he hadn’t accidentally made her head melt in upon itself. “Hey nerd.”
