😰
(( * send a 😰 to get a glimpse at one of ryan / dûrion’s nightmares
ryan didn’t understand. he didn’t understand where he was, why he dreamed these things night after night; only that they housed a VIVIDNESS of which was hard to ignore, that prevented him from ever knowing a GOOD night’s sleep…
the forest was immense, THICK, just beginning to blossom in full beauty. they mean to DESTROY us, dûrion…. you must teach them that we are not to roll over & show our bellies. ryan still had yet to fully understand & know who it was that spoke to him, but he was compelled to comply. dream shifted, & the BEAUTIFUL forest was aflame, the SCREAMS of men, women, & children filling the night air with their mournful song. BURNING wood filled the cusp of his nose, and… emily stood beside him, begging for him to put a STOP to this, to save them.
we were wrong to trust the general. please dûrion, if you have any LOVE in you, you’ll save them!
but he didn’t. he just stood there, watching, even as the very WEIGHT of the world pressed down on his chest. he couldn’t breathe; he knew he would BEAR this guilt for the rest of his life. dream shifted again, the last thing before so the sight of emily staring at him with absolute LOATHING in her eyes.
he woke to the sight of the dead eldrasi staring at him in wonder and betrayal and fear. why did you kill us why did you kill us why did you kill - -- -- --- ---
