[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5974709, member: 4936"] (OOC - Is that a bandwagon??!! *JUMP*) Nia dreams. [COLOR="Green"][i]She is riding Shelob through a tangled forest where the light grows ever dimmer, until they are simply moving through pitch darkness. Through the gloom she spies a single pinprick of light, and Shelob turns slightly to move towards it. From a distance she sees that the 'light' is a light blue sphere hovering in midair, with some kind of belt girdling it. As they get closer, she can make out more details. Clouds and continents...and it's not a belt, it's a... Abruptly the point of view changes, and they are near, dreadfully near where once they had been remote and distant. The serpent she had seen circling the world was now looming above them; a single scale of incomprehensible size. In that rough-scaled hide were the stylized images of trees and flowers, beasts of all shapes and sizes. It was a tapestry of all life; the Great Serpent. They were rushing down its length at unthinkable speeds. There now was the head, not merely grasping its tail in its mouth, but actually eating it. Frantically, furiously swallowing itself, even as it regrew what was lost. Should that balance ever fail, life itself would end. The brand on the nape of her neck burned as Nia watched the apparition with dread and awe. Aware all the while that it was at once something much more complex than she was seeing; that the Serpent was the image that came closest to its truth within the limits of her mind to see. For an instant that seeming fell away, and she saw...[/i][/COLOR] ...she came awake, breathing hard and sweating. Shelob, ever awake when she slept, was watching with her eightfold eyes, inscrutable as ever. The witch, just past her apprenticeship, sat up and rubbed at her forehead. The brand of the Great Serpent still itched and ached on the back of her neck. Elation kindled as a slow fire in the pit of her stomach. It had visited her again...as she'd been told would happen. All life was one life, all vitality came together and branched back out like fingers on a hand. Living things were mortal, but life itself was eternal. She [i]understood[/i] now, in a way she hadn't before. Nia held her hand down at the floor and whispered, [COLOR="Green"]"Come Shelob...we have much to do."[/COLOR] The spider clambered on, the spread of her legs as big around as the spread of Nia's fingers, and was lifted up. Much to do. Much to learn. The universe was bigger than either had supposed. (OOC - Worked out new info...updating sheet shortly!) [/QUOTE]
