18 - Rye

Who: Duke and any other sleepers~
What: Welcome to Duke's nightmares
When: During Nightmare plot
Where: Random forest clearing - or dream-like odd shifting. It's a blind guy's dream, who knows.
Rating: pg 13 for blood and deaths.

Its a bit murky, the forest and trees of an area remembered but not seen in a long time. Unsurprising, to those who knew Duke, who is currently sitting along the side of...

Calling it a monster would be accurate, given its size, and meld of parts. Large with fur, feathers, scales in white and yellow, multiple pairs of wings tucked against its side. The creature is the only thing, aside from Duke, who is clear about the dream. Duke looks a bit like a doll in size to the creature, and both seem to be injured, but healing, by the brown splotches to the fur and bandages to Duke. It was almost peaceful, a forest and small birds..

That all take flight as faceless warriors swarm in, causing both human and creature to lurch to feet, try to get clear. Surely a creature of that size, injured or not, wouldn't be troubled by a score and half of men and women with swords, spears, crossbows, and magic. Should have been able to get one swordmage and one large monster out.

It wasn't. Duke staggers away, then struggles to remain from going down as the creature roars-screams, and Duke freezes half down as blood splatters over him.

There are other faceless fighters, other people knocked apart and hurt. Maybe they aren't familiar to Duke, but they might be familiar to someone.

(OOC: The other "fighters" can be any sort of officials, or soldiers, or military for the added characters. The person getting targeted is anyone close to the added character. Duke's own 'friends' will get oddly described from when he's in Para, so o/ ... and he probably won't remember more than vague details of any other dreamers.)

The pull of her mana from her feels almost identical to when the Spirits do it, so she remains calm and as steady as possible as he does what he needs to. "I wish I had more to spare," she tells him, using the seals she has to steal as much mana from their enemies as possible--but even they're running out.

"I don't think I'm going to last much longer," she murmured. Finally speaking the unwanted dismal truth actually makes things better for her as she accepts her fate. "I really wish I have done more to protect you..." She looks at the creature and gives it a small smile.

"I think you and Aska would have gotten along." Wearing the same smile, she nods to the man and runs forward. She may lose, but dammit, she's going down fighting.

Sheena's in the midst of a group of soldiers who freeze when they see something odd above them. The young ninja, ignoring the shadow that covers them, keeps striking, knocking down foe after foe--made much easier by their stillness.

She's in the middle of yet another blow when she suddenly feels her arm grabbed and pulled on. "What the--?!" she manages to get out before looking up and seeing what was going on. A huge grin spreads across her face as she kicks one solder in the face before finishing the climb aboard the creature.

"Perfect!"
