---

[The physical world falls away, leading Seth to a haze of thick foggy white clouds. It's been some time since he's stepped into the world of dreams, unsure if the darkness has followed him to this strange new place. While the world of Genessia is small. The world of dreams is only limited by the dreamer.

A tower rises in Seth's view like a minaret standing before him. The tower is cast in white marble with beacons of light pouring through the windows. It is an empty and forgotten place, visited only when Seth hopes to experiance a touch of his past. These are Seth's dreams, private and protected. Dark clouds linger along the haze of white but they're kept back; for now.

A shimmering white tiger walks through the empty echoing halls of the tower. He stops at a mirror that shows off thick white wings on his back.] Will you find me now... brother? [The voice is deeper than Seth's usual tone as it rumbles from the tigers chest. He steps into the mirror and steps through the dreams of those residing in Genessia. Seth prefers to watch though he banishes darker nightmares when he can and slips away from private or lewd affairs. He has no interest in seeing into peoples hearts and minds but he needs to travel to rebuild his strength.]

[Ever since Kirika had arrived to this new world of Genessia, she had felt uneasy, distant, and cautious. It was mostly because of the traits she carried along with the job she was good at. The world was much different from home, and yet she couldn't ease herself to this new life Genessia had to offer.

When Kirika finally drifted to sleep, she recalled one of the few memories she had. It was night. The area was surrounded by a forest of tall green bamboo sticks. The bamboos rustles as the wind swayed them. Even with the soft wind, it was quiet for a while.

The quiet broke when two round yellow lights pierced through the forest which looked like car lights. A young school girl was running through the forest and away from the lights. Bullets were fired and whistled passed her. The young girl had dark short hair, which soon to be Kirika. Even though the shots continued to fire, Kirika was calm, even when she looked back. She continued to run away from her pursuers. The pursuers behind her were three men in black suits and armed with pistols. The chase continued until Kirika slid down a hill and was away from view.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth knows Kirika, not particularly well but well enough that he finds himself stopping at this dream and searching for her. At first he only sees the men but then he feels the dream shift with it's dreamer and he follows that flow to Kirika's side.

He approaches slowly, his white wings tightly pulled to his back, blending into his sides.]

Do you want to leave this darkness?

[His voice rumbles from the tigers throat, vibrate golden eyes resting on Kirika. He notices that she isn't alarmed or scared but he doesn't want to leave her here... even in a dream.]

[carrythesin]

[When Kirika made it down the hill, that was when she noticed something very different, a white tiger with wings was present. Kirika lacked imagination and to see this magnificent creature baffled her. Her handgun rested on her right side, meant for the pursuers.

She could only stare into those golden eyes with her crimson. Far as she knew, she didn't felt any threat even when the beast's voiced was heard. Leave the darkness he said? Kirika seemed contemplated, lost, and confused.]

Leave... the darkness?

[She questioned, unsure. Her finger rested on the trigger of her handgun while it remained on her side. The pursuers were gaining close.]

Who are you?

[Because clearly she doesn't recall any tigers. Her voice remained calm and low.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth takes a step forward and when his paw touches the ground the dream begins to shift and move. As if Kirika is now looking through her nightmare through a piece of distorted glass.]

I am a dreamweaver. I fight the darkness in dreams.

[Kirika will feel the lightness in his presence, something that pushes at the darkness around her.]

Though I am only a guest here.

[carrythesin]

[Kirika shield herself with one arm when the dream around her shifted by the tiger's touch. From where the pursuers stood behind her were now in a piece of glass behind her, running aimlessly. Kirika stood there, breathless to what has happened. Her hand even reached out to a glass, the urge to touch it. Her hand paused inches away from the distorted glass when the tiger spoke.

Fight darkness in dreams, in her dream?

Kirika did felt the light's warmth around her. She wasn't quite sure why, but it felt pleasant to her, something refreshing she hasn't felt in a long time it seemed. It was enough for her to drop the handgun she held to the floor.]

You're fighting mines? I don't understand.

[younghero]

[It's a reoccurring dream. The the woman with white hair clutching a small blond girl as they flee in the driving rain on horseback. The girl looking back on Link with an expression of fear and concern. The tall, dark man, close behind on a mount as black as pitch with glowing red eyes.

Link stands staring at the man as he approaches, terrified, but, ready to fight. To defend that little girl with his life. As if he'd done so before...]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth doesn't know the young boy, he doesn't know the pair fleeing or the strange man who towered like a demon on a black horse but a dream has a way of telling you what you need to know. Victims. Heroes. Villains. Like day and night the truth is painted accords Seth's vision.

His paw presses gently against the grass and the dream ripples softly, freezing and bending as if looked at through water. His brilliant golden eyes turn towards Link.]

Will you tell me why you are afraid?

[He keeps his distance but his presence alone makes the dream lighten, as if he carries the light on his back.]

[younghero]

He could hurt her.

[And that was horrifying to him to the very depths of his soul. Link didn't fully understand why, just that he would do anything to keep her safe. His eyes flickered from the tiger to the man---Ganondorf--and back.]

His name is Ganondorf. We'd been having nightmares about him, both of us. Zelda was afraid he'd try to get the Triforce---but she and I are gonna get it first and keep it safe from him......

[unbridledtiger]

This is a dream.

[He spoke in a soft kind voice.] Ganondorf holds no power over you here. These are simply your fears. [Dreams are often distorted slightly but as Seth sits and watches the boy he notices a change. Like a ripple in the dream around him. Not just a dream but a vision.]

It looks as if she escape.

[He points out, his head turned towards the frozen fleeing pair.] Will you face the man in black and save her?

[blackrose_born]

[Fire. Blood. Death. A roar of such rage that it shakes the very heavens. Wings - a noonday sky made dark by legions of dragons in flight. The final day of the Dragonsong War; Nidhogg has called his brood to arms, and they have answered in numbers.]

[A lone figure, small and terrified but not daring to show it. Though little more than a child, she wields a power that has laid gods low - their shadows circle her even now, forever bound up with her soul. The hope of a nation. The warrior of light. A small and terrified girl, who wants nothing more than to go home and curl up with a mug of warm tea. But she cannot - she will not. Not even when the dreadwyrm Nidhogg himself lands before her, roaring its rage to the heavens again.]

[She cannot falter. She cannot fail. The soul of a dear friend hangs in the balance, and that alone is enough to spur her to action - nevermind the fate of the nation she stands defending. And so, though she wishes nothing more than to turn and flee, she screams her own defiance into the face of a being more demon than dragon - a demon that has possessed one of her dearest friends.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth has seen many different dreams and there is very little that shocks him now.

He can feel the darkness of the dream like a weight on his shoulders, pushing uncomfortably at his senses. His paws take him forward where he spots the dreams source, the young girl at the center of the hordes. His white wings flutter at his back as he steps forward.]

Do you need assistance?

[It is a dream, where Seth's light glows strongest.]

[blackrose_born]

I'll take what I can get. Would that my friends could be here as well, but, alas, they cannot walk in my dreams.

[Does she recognize that she's in a dream? Why yes, she does. The arrival of a winged tiger startles her somewhat, but it's far from the weirdest thing she's ever dreamed of. Though, now she looks at the tiger again... there's something very familiar about it. The recognition she feels isn't that of one person to another, though - it's of one power to another.]

You're... really here. In my dream. In my head.

[All around them, the fighting has stopped. Everything has stopped, as if time itself stands still. That same light that envelops Seth is shining around Aeslyn, though its source is different. Two beings who can walk in the memories of others. She hesitantly steps toward the tiger.]

[unbridledtiger]

I am.

[He confirms with a nod of his head.]

I mean you no harm.

[Seth has spoken to people who are aware of dreams before, however none have guessed any of the other forms he took. Within dreams and the real world, Seth is a spirit. He's a half of a grater whole and he can take any shape that he desires.]

[tevinteraltus]

[Dorian did not always remember his dreams, but they were nightly visits to a world very much unlike Genessia, or Nova City, Everglade, or even Fayren. It was a warm place, something like a palace, with arches and pillars vaguely reminiscent of Roman architecture. Dorian reclined on a comfortably upholstered chair on an open veranda overlooking a sweeping harbor filled with sailing ships. Seabirds flew by in the distance and the waves glittered in the sun. Dorian seemed happy in billowing, loose clothing of white and light green. He was wearing more jewelry than Seth would have seen before, and while he seemed happy, there was a sadness in his eyes as he watched the comings and goings in the harbor below.

For all the people milling about, hard at work at the docks, there seemed to be no one besides Dorian here, in this palatial manor.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth's paws step silently over the stone paths as he makes his way towards the familiar figure. He isn't expecting to find himself in Dorian's dream but he knew the feel of it, it's very similar to the man it belongs too.

He pauses when he nears Dorian, his head canting to the side.]

Do you enjoy sitting all alone?

[His voice is deeper than usual though he has the same golden as as always, if not a little brighter.]

[tevinteraltus]

[If Dorian is surprised at the appearance of a winged silver tiger in his dream, he doesn't show it, instead reaching for another grape.]

It's better than dealing with the temptations of demons.

[And he breathes a sigh, watching the water in the distance once again.]

Your voice is familiar. Very clever.

[unbridledtiger]

Demons will not touch your dreams as long as I am here.

[They are darkness while Seth, and everything that makes him, is light.]

Is it?

[The tigers head tilts to the side.]

Are you calling me a demon?

[truesmiles]

[There were days when Fai's dreams were sad. Tonight happened to be one of those nights.

It starts with Fai standing there standing behind a group of people; a brown-haired boy, a young looking girl happily holding what appeared to be white cream puff and then finally a raven haired, red-eyed man who at first glance to most would look terrifying but Fai seemed happy to see them, moving to take a step forward toward them.

However, at the moment he tried all of them vanished caused Fai to pause for a moment, hand stretched out and trying his best to smiled even when he didn't want to. As she pulled his arm back toward his side, there was a tap on his shoulder, causing the other to turn his head and spotting falmiliar face from his time in Genessia. But as he tried to move toward him, they too vanished, causing Fai to pause once more.

He stood still as he looked around, other faces from Genessia, all the people he has talked to and were currently still around the city but this time Fai didn't move from his spot, just continuing to keep his distance, feeling as though he should just in case they were to vanish.]

[unbridledtiger]

[At first Seth is wandering through the crowd of people. His paws moving silently with his white wings curl against his back. When he spots Fai he pauses and watches as people begin to vanish. Loss is something that many fear and it's something that Seth understands.

His life has been very longed lived, with many goodbyes.

He steps forward, taking a seat next to Fai.] Are you scared?

[truesmiles]

[Fai knew and understood the reason for it. He also knew that with this feeling he could very well go back to being the person he once was, just with a whole different reason behind it.

He glanced over for a brief moment, looking slightly puzzled for the most part before speaking. There were many things he wasn't expecting, a white tiger was more than one of them.]

Scared of what? Getting close to people and having them leave? Probably. Not a feeling I am used to, though.

[unbridledtiger]

And why is that?

[The tigers head tilts curiously to the side as he stares at Fai. This is a man that he's met once before however he doesn't know him. He's a curious stranger.]

[melodiouspacifist]

[There was one dream that haunted him, and it began so peacefully. The boy in the dream was about thirteen years old. He seemed mildly distressed, walking along a dirt path dragging his feet. His clothes were old and well-mended. He kicked a stone along the path, climbing a hill where there was a huge tree.

He sat on the hill, humming a tune, he was trying to avoid something, that feeling was strong. The sunset was beautiful, and he enjoyed it before he caught sight of something in front of him.

It was small, black and had antennae and it was looking right back at him.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth steps next to the dreaming boy taking on the familiar shape of a tiger. White wings are curled against his back looking like a feathery cape.]

What is that?

[His voice is deep, warm and musical.]

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't know. [The boy said softly, unsure, but his voice deepened somewhat, because it was a dream.]

It's a shadow. It's here for me.

[He's older than this kid, he knows what it is now and why. The antennae were perked up and the shadow as lumbering towards the kid.]

[unbridledtiger]

[Seth steps forward, drawing a thin line of light in the ground around the boy.]

You fight shadow with light.
