Sinbrilee | Dreaming | Death


Life. Dreaming. Death. Three realms overlaid upon one another and yet each distinctly their own. They dwell in Life and do so live upon the back of the great turtle as those of Sinbrilee did upon the shell of his sister. However, there stand numerous arches of marble throughout the ruined city that are inlaid with runes beyond understanding. Those that live and breathe which step through those whose runes glow with faint, iridescent light tread instead into the realm of Dreaming.

Here, there exists no single defining characteristic beyond the visitor's imagination. The landscape sculpts to their individual thoughts, the events to their dreams. From a drab gray nothing to the most brilliant of displays, the senses perceive all that they wish to perceive for all that nothing here truly exists. This far from Tu Vishan, the ability to shape their surroundings is all they have, for Sinbrilee's Dreaming does not have the energy to sustain powers, only the bodies of those that dwell here.

Should two parties near, then the Mesh begins. Dreams, you see, not only can be shared, but they strive to be. These visions sculpted into reality reach out for one another and blend. They begin an exchange akin to a linking of the minds, within which one visitor can learn the other's deepest thoughts. Their limitation is but compatibility, for two minds that cannot flow upon the same current cannot hold the Mesh.

Happiness or loss, the landscape and events play out memories and fancies with a most convincing air. The mood rises and falls with the tide of the visitor's mind, detached as they are from the soothing influence of a great turtle's mind. Nothing here, however, is real; 'constructs' simply fade if taken through the archways and even the greatest scientific minds or tools will reveal nothing of its source. This is an ancient magic of an ancient realm, long practised in concealing itself from any prying.

Note: Due to the fluid and highly individual nature of Dreaming, no official subheaders will be provided in the comments of this post. Feel free to post and thread however you like, so long as the rules of Dreaming are adhered to.

[It takes her a few long moments of silence for her brain to click over and realize that someone else is there, that she heard her name, that she recognizes her. Somehow Miria seems natural in this setting, with the crumbling remains of her childhood around her.

Raimei looks over at her without turning from facing the raging fire before her.]
Miria. [Her voice is blank, impenetrable.]

I don't understand. Why did this happen? Did he-- want power that much?

Who did this?

[Miria lowers her heavy sword carefully, holding it next to Raimei's own sword. It's nothing much, just a gesture of solidarity. That vengeance comes next is natural to her.]

[There's no question that vengeance is what comes next, and caught up in the memory as she is, there's absolutely no faltering in Raimei as she finally turns to face her.

Low, and almost vicious, she intones,]
Raikou. My brother.

He'll die for what he's done.
saved7: (time for war)

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-13 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Absolutely no question. Miria looks down at Raimei's fierce stare, and she nods.]

We should leave this place, Raimei. It is not real.

--Wh-what? [That makes her falter.]

No. I know that this is real. I've been here. I see this all the time!

[personal profile] saved7 2013-08-15 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
When do you see it? [There are things that Miria sees all the time, as well. In memories, and in dreams. She suspects this might be similar.]

I... whenever I try to sleep, or even if I close my eyes for too long... I see this again. Mama and papa, and uncle--

[She finally starts to get what Miria is saying, and some of the flames licking at the sky behind her start to die down. But Raimei doesn't feel any relief at that. She draws in, and stares down at her sword in her hand.]

I thought I would stop dreaming about it after I saw Raikou again. [Needless to say, she hadn't. Even with their conflict resolved, the secrets exposed, Raimei couldn't totally let go.]

[In the absence of any immediate danger, Miria rests her sword point on the ground, ready to lift if, but taking the strain of holding it from her arms.]

It is one of the ways in which I can see it as a blessing, that I don't sleep very much. The dreams come less often, but they never go away.
