Nightmares were an unfortunate, common place notion for the Sword, no matter how blissful his life was outside of trepidation and terror. An inherent thing, just as easily unrelenting to his mind as magic was to his veins, with too many horrors lanced and laced over the years and lives.

But it wouldn’t – and he released another trembling breath before the worst of the apprehension clung to his bones. “Safrin came back, in a dream, but - ,” his nose wrinkled and his eyes narrowed, as if trying to continually piece it all back together in the dark. “She was very weak, and she had to use Ronin to say anything at all.” Uncertain if he was making any sense, he pressed his palms to his eyelids, striving to bring clarity. “Said she could not stop them, they were too strong.”
