[020] Twentieth Nightmare [action/accidental video]

[adeptible]

[It’s far later than Starwind is usually awake, but he jerks himself out of sleep, confused and frightened at first, and after a few more long minutes laying still, he knows that he’s not going back to sleep. Not after that nightmare

I feel that is preferable to a lie. [He can note the sadness in Starwind's visage, but doesn't really know what else to say.]

[Our minds' creations indeed. But creating a full illusion would somehow cheapen the experience.] Unfortunately.

I am sorry.

[wutaiwarhero]

You have nothing to apologize for. [A pause as he picks his next words carefully.] Are you well?

[adeptible]

[He shrugs.]

As well as I might be, considering.

[wutaiwarhero]

...considering?

[adeptible]

I should have died.

[wutaiwarhero]

...what happened?

[adeptible]

To destroy that thing...I opened myself as an unrestricted channel for magical energy to flow through and I threw the leylines' power in the demon's face. I should have been destroyed along with that creature. I should have been burned from the inside out.

But you were not...or...are you dead?

Video;

[adeptible]

I still live.

[wutaiwarhero]

Then I suppose congratulations are in order.

Video;

[adeptible]

Not so much.

Video;

[wutaiwarhero]

You...wish to be dead?

Video;

[adeptible]

No. Though, I hardly deserve congratulations.

You did something that should have killed you and it has not.
