- Mocking Minstrel Treasure Finisher!
- I'll leave you be, then.
- Miner's Bag[s]
- How does one abandon the Dream?
- I'm ready.
- We call them Soundless. Some of our people can't tolerate having an empathic connection to those around them. They feel the emotions of others too profoundly.
- So, what do they do?
- Emotions can be trouble. Good-bye.
- They learn to cut themselves off completely from their empathy. Their world becomes silent, empty. They usually leave to live alone or with other Soundless.
- And you said your friend did this?
- It must take strength of will to do that.
- Yes. Last time I saw him, I couldn't sense him like I usually can. He said good-bye and walked away. How could he be so empty?
- I have no answers for you. Good-bye.
- There's so much to learn! The Dream certainly doesn't prepare us for everything.
- Let me guess. Newly awakened?
- I'm on it.
- Yes, I awoke not long ago. And I have so many questions, about everything.
- What's on your mind?
- I should be going now.
- First of all, the sky turns different colors, from blue to gray to peach and many others. But why does it do this?
- That's an interesting question. I think—
- You should ask someone else.
- Oh, yeah! And where do clouds come from? Sometimes they're in the sky, and sometimes they're not. I haven't seen any today, but there may be more tomorrow.
- Well, you raise an intriguing—
- Why don't you ask your mentor.
- And then, why do some clouds look white like cotton, while others are gray and drop water on us? Where do clouds get so much water?
- Well, maybe if you'd let me—
- I suggest you ask your mentor.
- There must be survivors still fighting in the annex.
- We'll find them. Let's keep moving.
- We do not know how bad the situation will be. Prepare for the worst.
- Speaking of colors, what are they? Why are some things red, and other things green? Why are there so many colors? Why can't we see colors as well at night?
- Are you about done?
- I have to go. Ask your mentor.
- Done? Oh Blessed Mother, I want to know everything. Perhaps I should ask my mentor. Thanks anyways!
- All right. Have fun.
- Please, be careful, and keep your voice low. The pods behind me will open any time now.
- Are the ones in the pods still in the Dream?
- I'll be on my way, then.
- They are. Gheimridh and I tend these pods together. She keeps the pods healthy, and I greet those who have newly awakened.
- What is waking like?
- I don't remember my Awakening very well.
- What's with your sword?
- Awakening from the Dream is jarring. I liken it to having been blind and deaf all your life, then suddenly you can see and hear. Sights, sounds, and knowledge flood over you.
- What's the Dream like?
- That's not uncommon. Emerging from the pod is incredibly disorienting. Before that, you were asleep. Awakening is not an easy experience.
- I guess that's why you're here?
- Yes, that's precisely why I'm here. I have a calming spirit, some say. I help new sprouts orient to the world and pass them into the arms of their mentor.
- Sounds good.
- Seraph
