As she curled up next to the crimson haired man in bed and drifted off to sleep, it was rare nowadays for her to not have a night terror or fever-induced dream; this night was one of those nights. Instead she dreamed of something that had happened in the past.
There was panic in the air, it was thick with worry and some of the younger adults were convening on how just to deal with this threat. It was rare that people traversed through the Orn Wilds for anything beyond a few merchants, but even the merchants seemed worried for whatever it was. Garleans were the first thought, as the dragons that lived some leagues away rarely showed themselves this far out. Caelia and Locke had traveled out of the hamlet, treading quietly through the forest, keeping themselves concealed, watching for anything out of the ordinary.
Then it caught their eye: a floating ship in the sky, above the summit of the mountain Sohm Al in the distance but a strange sight in the sky with its pinkish pulsing lights. A scream from the distance brought them a few yalms further out, where a Voidgate was situated with small, inconsequential voidsent around it, and a merchant that had been caught unawares on their normally followed trail. While the voidsent were dispatched quickly with the pair's combined magicks and the merchant made safe (while getting some supplies in thanks for it,) Caelia had asked Locke if he'd ever seen something quite like that, or felt something quite like that. There was silence, and a shake of his head.
"None whatsoever, dove. I don't like the way it felt, that's for damned sure. Be sure to tell granny about it, she might. She's been around a while, she might know why some voidies came out to play, and what that weird... ship thing was."
It didn't take them long to return now that they weren't being cautious.
Grandmother didn't talk about what it could have been after Caelia had asked, she went oddly quiet over it. Upon waking however, sitting up and thinking on it, hadn't she heard of rumors from sky pirates that a strange ship had been floating out there? Hadn't it been of Mhachi origin, from what she had understood? Perhaps, in her own subconscious, she knew what it had been that day years ago, and why her grandmother refused to speak of it. She pushed it from her mind, settling back down and laying her head back on to Terris' chest to try to get a little more sleep before the sun rose.
