[color=A0A0A0]"Looking back, it does seem like she might have been trying to help,"[/color] Fleuri admitted.  He knew of Merilia- she was one of the original Iron Roses, a sorceress or witch who used magic to vastly extend her lifespan, and produced much of the castle's paintings.  [color=A0A0A0]"The dream really put it in perspective how far I lag behind compared to the original generation of Iron Roses such as yourself, and I think I can glean quite a bit of insight from all those times I was killed."[/color]

Or perhaps she just wanted some inspiration for her painting hobby, and needed to watch an Iron Rose in action.  Fleuri hoped that Merilia wasn't going to start sending paintings of Fleuri getting killed over and over.

[color=A0A0A0]"Did she send to the dream to any of the others?"[/color] he asked.  Fleuri hardly stood out in the Iron Roses, after all, so he wasn't sure if someone like Merilia would single him out.  [color=A0A0A0]"Did she by any chance send [i]you[/i] a dream, Dame Tyaethe?"[/color]
