On the front page, the word “Diary” is crossed out and scribbled over, and written hastily above it are the words “dream journal”
“Keep a journal by your bed so when you wake up you can write down as much as you can remember.” Thats what she said, so thats what this is: a dream journal now. It was not working out well as a diary anyway so there is that too. And since the dreams have started to come more maybe this will be better. I can hardly remember much of them by the time I wake except that damned tree and the miasma
And more voices too! Female voices, and the same voice too but doing different things. And the song, always the song.
There is a long break, before more writing on the second half of the page, somewhat more sloppy and hastily written…
They were there again. In the dark miasma. The two voices had shadows too. One was standing pointing here and there and shouting. There was a noise like those sirens the Garleans use, and she said something about bringing up shields. I looked to the other side of the tree, and another shadow was sitting. She was crying; I could tell it was the same voice, but she seemed built different. There was a low rumble of thunder as well – it was raining while she cried. I don’t know what she was crying about.
Rules: Pick four colors you associate with your character. Then use the gif search-function and search for the color. Post one gif for each color. Tag 10 other roleplayers to do this. I can’t do this...but if you like it, then REPOST ! Do not reblog.

Neutral Good Neutral Good- A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable. Detailed Results: Alignment: Lawful Good ----- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (27) Neutral Good ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (27) Chaotic Good ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (18) Lawful Neutral -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (16) True Neutral ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (16) Chaotic Neutral - XXXXXXX (7) Lawful Evil ----- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (15) Neutral Evil ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (15) Chaotic Evil ---- XXXXXX (6) Law & Chaos: Law ----- XXXXXXXXXXX (11) Neutral - XXXXXXXXXXX (11) Chaos --- XX (2) Good & Evil: Good ---- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (16) Neutral - XXXXX (5) Evil ---- XXXX (4)

The dream tonight was more familiar to me. I was in a cave, the steady drip of water echoing as it fell from the ceiling. I wandered for a time, not lost but unsure of where I was to go. I finally happened upon a large cavern, with vaulting cieling above. I looked about, before I suddenly just appeared before me, as if it had been there always
In the center of the cavern stood a large tree, the trunk large around The branches were filled with leaves, despite the darkness of the cavern. An energy radiated from it, a dark aura Creeping up the trunk was a creeping vine that seemed to wind its way around the tree and up into the branches, its dark red leaves trying to choke out the tree.
I know this tree; I first saw it after I killed that woman and took that curse on me. This was nothing new to me.
I found myself compelled to touch it, and I reached out a hand. I gasped when I did as I felt a rush of energy pulse through me. I heard similar gasps of surprise from near me, and I looked up to see
What was new were the other two women in the cavern with me. Each had blue skin and hair, nearly identical in appearance save for their clothes. They seemed surprised to see me and the other, each inspecting their own tree, similar in appearance to mine except for the vine, that also stood in the cavern. The younger of the two was touching her tree with a large hand sheathed in metal. The other held a device that looked like those tomestones, the device giving off a soft chiming noise. She, too, had placed a hand cautiously on her tree.
And as we now finally saw one another, I awoke, shivering.
What is going on with me?
Anafenza awoke with a start again, her body feeling sore like she’d been swimming for malms upstream. She was lying on a bed, just big enough for her body to fit on top of, her tail uncomfortably folded under her and pushed to one side. An extra pillow was folded and under her neck, helping to support her head so that all the weight wasn’t on her horns. She was covered by a scratchy, wool blanket, and she could feel clothes covering her body, only adding to the discomfort. There were bright lights above her, and she could tell she wasn’t in the disappearing cavern anymore.
Did…did it work?
She shifted, trying to move, and groaned a little as her sore muscles screamed in protest.
The rest of the space was sterile white walls and a plain grey carpet. More of the beds were lined along the wall next to her bed, and over the head of each one on the wall was a dark glass window. Most were off, but the one over her bed blinked and flashed with white characters and squares of varying shades of blue. As she pushed herself up to rest on an elbow, one of the blue boxes flashed and turned red with a triangle symbol inside; she looked at it curiously, before turning to look around more.
There was some shuffling, and then a soft voice called out from around a corner. “Oh! You’re awake!” A petite woman stepped around the corner, wearing an outfit similar to the Commander’s except that it was mostly white. She had the same badge on her chest as Jessica, too. Her light brown eyes smiled along with her wide lips. “How do you feel, Ana?”
Anafenza coughed and shook her head, sitting up all the way. “I know I’ve felt better. Where am I? How do you know me?”
She smiled again. “I’m Doctor Dubois; you’re onboard the Rafale. You came with Jes- Commander St. Peter.” Her cheeks went a little pink at her near misspeak, but Ana didn’t try to understand the reason for the embarrassment. “When you materialized on board you collapsed on the transport pad; we brought you here to the sickbay. It’s sort of a…hospital.”
Anafenza nodded. “How long…have I been sleeping?”
“You were out for most of the day,” came a familiar voice, and Ana turned her head to see both Jessicas step through a double door that had separated with a whoosh. Stormy looked like she was still excited beyond belief to be living in this fantasy. The Commander moved near Dubois, and the two shared a silent look and a smile. “Thanks, JD.”
The Doctor nodded and stepped back around the corner, leaving Ana and the Jessicas. The Commander cleared her throat. “We’re not sure if it had to do with the ‘aether’ in the cavern, or if it is unique to your race, but the scar grew while we were being rescued.”
Anafenza pulled up her top to check underneath, not minding when the two woman glanced away for a moment as she flashed them. Sure enough, the snaking, ivy-like mass of scales reached up beyond her collarbone now, just resting at the base of her neck. It wound down further past her waist; a quick check of her legs rewarded her with more of the scales down nearly to her left knee now. She sighed and shook her head. “I do not know; it’s nothing to do with my race, I know that. The curse expanded?”
“I don’t know about curse, but it certainly helped,” Stormy chimed in, hopping over and settling down at the foot of the bed. She put a comforting hand on Ana’s leg and gave her a small squeeze. “The Commander’s crew says that their transport system was able to find us easier and rescue us because of the beacon you became. It was like you said; you guided them to us.”
Anafenza smiled. “I’m…glad it helped. I don’t know what happened, but I’m glad it helped?” The three of them laughed a little.
“Now to get you two home,” the Commander remarked, and the other two nodded. “We have a theory for how, but we’re still finishing the final simulations. Until then, you’re guests on the Rafale, and I’d like to show you both around.”
Stormy smiled wide and nodded, before suddenly pausing and shaking her head. “Wait…when do you wipe our memories? Don’t you have some kind of ‘temporal prime directive?’”
The Commander shrugged. “We’re willing to make an exception to the policy. Too much has happened, and if I want to remember it, I’m sure both of you would like to as well. I don’t want to take that away.”
Anafenza nodded. “That would be nice, yeah.”
Its now been a few weeks...perhaps even a moon or more I cant remember anymore. my heart still feels cleaved cloven in two. the cafe is empty...completely dead of life. staying in kugane is harder still...i cannot stand the wait to go to the steppes. to see kiratai. to find the graves. we have so many unanswered questions and i miss them terribly
