[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 2985606, member: 16166"] [b]...there is something much worse...[/b] Fine mist drifted about the child that knelt before Ymris, caressing the child's long hair and flowing down to the ground to bubble across the floor. There was something about the child...something... A dark form crawled out of the mist, a large rat, a giant rat, wandered (could a rat wander?) towards the child, eventually resting beside her. Both the rat and the child looked at Ymris, a look of knowing in their eyes, as the girl reached into the mist and pulled forth three golden coins. Knowingly she cast them upon the mat before Ymris. Two coins showed an image of Metropolis, the third the face of a regal woman, unknown. It was unusual to see this ritual done without the proper stones, but Ymris saw were this was going. "...[I]you left me[/I]..." The second cast showed two regal women, one city. "...[I]but I forgive you, she found me[/I]..." The third cast fell into the mist, hidden from view. The girl patted the rat with affection, looking Ymris in the eyes, not allowing her gaze to seek the final throw. "...[I]you must look outside destiny itself sometimes[/I]..." The girl stood and left, the rat close behind, both swollowed up by the mist. Looking down Ymris watched the mist retreat from the coins, showing the final cast. All three coins had landed on their edge, on one side the woman was stripped of her flesh, the other side showed a burning Metropolis. The coins spun lazily and faded from view, disappearing into the dream. It would be another hour before Ymris' body clock allowed her to awaken, another hour before the dream would focus to clarity... [/QUOTE]
