The desert night was quiet on the Sea of Dreams. The waters from the earlier rainfall were receding slowly, absorbed by the thirsty salt flats beneath them, and the temperature was dropping more swiftly still. The stars sparkled in the cooling air, winking overhead and watching with uncaring distance as the small sky boat drifted at anchor atop the mirrored surface below.
On board the small vessel one woman and two companions stood or crouched, none of them seeing the others, each lost in their own nightmares.
Beneath the boat one man lay face down in the shallow waters amidst a patch of beautiful Void Lotuses that bobbed serenely above him as his chest grew tight and his nightmare-clouded sight grew dim. He scrabbled weakly, fingers clawing at leaves and roots and salt, reaching for something only he could see. He had failed his companion. Failed his friends. And now he was drowning and he couldn't break free--
Frey! Help us-- Please! A desperate cry, a burst of power that leapt from his heart to the divine, reaching for the god who had saved him from the water once before.
Or at least, their aspect he knew best.
