    Summary

    “Thou art familiar with the fear of falling back asleep after awakening from a nightmare, aye?”

    The sudden question catches Messmer’s attention. “Art thou proposing that thou’rt in a nightmare right now?”

    “The contrary, actually,” Gwyndolin mumbles. “I am afraid that if I close mine eyes for even a moment, I will find myself back in one.”

    “Really?” The idea makes Messmer laugh for the first time in a long while (or maybe it’s the first time he has ever laughed? He can’t recall). “This is not the nightmare?” He gestures at the ashen plateaus before them dotted with numerous ruins. “Behold, a land disgraced, despairful, and shrouded in shadow! Filled with those who would cheer at the image of thy head upon a pike if they knew of thine association with me. Still, thou wouldst rather this be reality?”

    “Absolutely.”

    What Messmer believes to be a test of loyalty arrives in the form of a lost soul.
