Phoenix said:With an odd look on his face the Herder returns to his seat and gets the carriage in motion once more. As Alexis leans back into her cushioned seat to try and relax, a small mirror attached to a nearby wall portrays a startling sight. Catching her eye, she sees herself old, very old, as if the weight of the world was born on her shoulders. Swiftly the wrinkles receed, and her elderly visage regresses into a more youthful face, mimicking the vision that she had just witnessed.
The carriage moves ahead towards the temple. Leaving the priestess alone to contemplate, for soon she will return home to the safety of her temple walls once more.
[sblock]You can assume in your next post that you can easily make it back to the temple's steps if you have nothing else in mind.

Alexis rubs her forehead, and indulges in deep thought for the duration of the ride. What *was* that? Nobody warned her about anything strange like that. She never had nightmares before, so why would something like that happen now?
She wouldn't let it deter her in the long run. But right now, she needed to talk to Vrisse.
Alexis would keep her eyes looking straight ahead for the rest of the ride ; when they finally arrived, she would immediately leave the carriage, customs be damned. She'd relinquish the two skeletons to whomever was nearby to take them. She'd find Vrisse.
And when she did : "Vrisse. I had a nightmare while I was in the carriage. I imagined stepping out, and all of the people staring at me, pointing at me. They were all old, Vrisse, very old. Older than you were, when you met Lord Zsath, Prayer be to Him. And then the rain came; it washed away their years.
"Vrisse, what does it mean? I never have nightmares otherwise."
