Mada kai?

[fistfullofmagic]

Who: Dhaos and ye unfortunate dreamers
What: A nightmare
When: During the nightmare plot
Where: In the depths of Dhaos' mind
Rating: PG-13 for blood and death, might raise to R, depending



It's quiet in the empty expanse. Dark, quiet, and still as the surface of an undisturbed pond. Then, a glow appears in the darkness, and the sounds of battle begin. At first both are faint, but as the glow moves closer, so too do the sounds. It soon becomes apparent that one of the combatants is the source of the glow: Dhaos to those who know him. The other is someone wielding a broadsword with a feeling of great power emanating from it. And it appears that Dhaos might be losing...


((ooc: You can either be in place of the murderer, or be an outside observer, in which case your options are either being frozen until it's too late, or attempting to ward the attacker off. Either way, expect the dream to shift in odd ways.))

Task complete, the warriors vanish one by one, as if in response to the oncoming meteors. The last to dissipate is the swordsman, who takes the blade with him when he goes. With nothing left to hold him up, Dhaos collapses.

Weakly, he reaches towards the man who had tried so hard to help him. Maybe... Maybe there was still a glimmer of hope, despite the way his vision had begun to blur...

Maybe there was. Duke doesn't move any closer - because that has a risk of stepping on Dhaos, and that wouldn't help anything. At least right here, he can start a spell -

Stop Flow. Once that is cast, he stumbles a few steps closer and gets mostly through the chant of Healing Circle before time resumes for everyone not him. He'll start another Healing Circle right on the heels of the first.

The first Healing Circle doesn't manage to do much to stem the blood flow, although Dhaos isn't complaining about the hole in his left lung sealing up. Drowning in his own blood would have been a terribly unpleasant way to go, after all. The second spell helps with the pain, although he is unsure what has healed now.

'...Was it so cold before...?'

Duke takes another pair of steps, listening as he starts another Healing Circle.

He's a little surprised at the feel of this place, it feels like his mind would go numb before he couldn't find anymore to gather.
