*Dream 12*

[wantedtostudy]

The wind whips at her face and body, and it is beyond cold. The land around her is frozen and bleak, utterly inhospitable, and the howling wind is so frigid that it literally stings every bit of bare skin on her body. Still, Jaina digs her staff into the snow, trudging on

...if you think you have seen all that I am capable of, you are gravely mistaken.

[wantedtostudy]

Are you trying to scare me?

[cannibalcrown]

...Your comrade...?

[wantedtostudy]

No. Not as you understand the word.

...just a good friend.

[cannibalcrown]

In your dream, she was in danger. You were trying to protect her...

[wantedtostudy]

Well, yes. People usually want to protect their friends.

I met her here, in this world. That man... he is from the world I come from.

[She watches and as it comes to an end, her eyes widen slightly.]

2/2

[knightmare_hime]

Are you that worried about me?

[This reaffirms even more that going to Yuuko was a good idea.]

[wantedtostudy]

*A slight pause* No, Cornelia. I'm not. I know you can take care of yourself.

It was only a... bad dream.

[knightmare_hime]

[We don't believe you.]

Who was behind me?

[chainsawofdeath]

[Oh! Grell's seen this woman before somewhere... hasn't he? At least, he thinks he has...]

You must really care for that woman, hm~?

[wantedtostudy]

*Oh, him. We've talked to him before. On edge, Jaina.*

She's a close friend.

[chainsawofdeath]

What... was that thing~? There's no way you could defend her from something that looked like that~!! [grins] Especially when you let your emotions get in the way like you've done... over just a silly dream ♥

[This woman... so familiar. Grell has definitely spoken with her at least once... But he can't quite place his finger on where he's seen her~]

[wantedtostudy]

That "thing" was the Lich King.

I am very aware of how I would fare against him, and I hardly think my emotions are any of your business.

*Has been frowning since the armor-clad swordsman appeared.*

... Who was that?

[wantedtostudy]

*The boy. Jaina remembers him, of course*

He's called the Lich King. He was a man, once - now, I'm not so sure.

[phantomfenton]

*And no way is Danny forgetting her.*

What happened to him?

[wantedtostudy]

He was a man who once had a very noble desire, to protect those who trusted him. And yet, in the pursuit of his goal, he allowed it to consume him, and made... sacrifices that eventually cost him his humanity.

In the end, he became a servant of the very thing he sought to destroy in the first place, and traded the last remnants of his soul for power.
