Skallagrim listened as the man spoke, addressing both he and Cathrel. He also listened to her response, smart; indeed the Dreaming Queen had chosen well this young woman, whom all Dreamers smile fondly upon, remembering a time when the wonderment of traversing the vastness of the multiverse filled them with awe.

 As the gateway opened to the lands of Mystique, the Walker Between Worlds paused, his energies flaring slightly as he reached out with those energies to touch the girl, envelope her in the wispy tendrils of aesr. 

[b]“The magic of Mystique is harsh. Technology is as much a part of that land as the magic. To rely on one aspect of the world and deny the other could lead to a catastrophe for this man.”[/b]

Drawing back the energies to him, Skallagrim turned his attention to the Angar-Ryllans. Indeed their war had intensified, driven by the fear and power lust of their Lord General, Dou’far Klaast. Would he change his mind if he knew that for all the power the Dreamers wield, for their ability to see all possibilities of existence, they had never used that power toward anything other than study. 

No, no he would assume that the Dreamers were as he was. A man to whom the idea that there were much more to the multiverse than he could hope to comprehend, frightened him. 

Absent-mindedly Skallagrim’s fingers fell on the pommel of Onverlicht, what would happen if he appeared in the midst of that great ship and simply cut the threads of existence from around the Lord General? A thousand Dreamers all responded with a thousand possibilities.

[b]“I hear you; yes I agree we should allow this reality to continue as it is. So many elements introduced; the future is not yet coalesced. Let us see where these heroes will take the possibilities then.”[/b]

With that he sat back, lowered his head and let the slumber come upon him, drifting back slowly into the dream state. Allowing his consciousness to expand and merge with the other Dreamers, until he was seeing the myriad of possibilities and pondering each one as they came to him.
