You have just entered room "Chat 29846083740532411498."
curseeviloctopi has entered the room.
curseeviloctopi: Silver pulls up to the large mansion, hoping he got the address correct. He wasn't used to durem, coming to the town rarely on "business ventures" and to go to a club or two.
curseeviloctopi
: He didn't know why, but he needed to talk to mordath. He nerviously walked up to the front door, knocking on the door, shaking his head, causing his earrings to jangle a bit.
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath could almost feel his presence. It had been building steadily on his mind over the past few days, the spot on his hand where Silver had placed his mark a long time ago*
Sabin Duvert
: *as he heard the rumble of a motor outside, he got up swiftly and moved to the door, opening it right as Silver knocked*
Sabin Duvert
: Silver~ just the person I had been wanting to see!
Sabin Duvert
: come in, come in - please! *he opens the door wider and gestures inside the old mansion*
curseeviloctopi
: "Same here my friend. I, dammit. There is something i need to talk to you about, but I don't know what it is!" Silver slowly pads inside, nails on his bare feet clicking lightly on the floor.
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath smiled and softly closed the door* Come... we can speak in my room. There have been many things on my mind - I think a few pieces of my puzzle have been sliding into place.... and thus I think I see some that might be miss
Sabin Duvert
: missing
Sabin Duvert
: *he escorts him down the hallway with the wooden floors to a room with a relatively simple door. He opens the door and enters, gesturing for Silver to take a seat*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver pads after mordath, sitting lightly on the floor, looking around the room, seeming at ease, though moments before he looked ready to draw a sword at a moments notice, as if he recognized mordaths Sanctum as a safe place,
curseeviloctopi
: or one his body saw as safe.
Sabin Duvert
: It suddenly struck me as we were leaving Hell - when you had taken the form a full wolf...
Sabin Duvert
: And the memories that we seemed to share when we spoke when you were but a child.
Sabin Duvert
: Pardon the implications of what I am going to say, but I believed that I figured out our connection.
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods "I have a feeling too. A wizards animal companion, a, ummm, what is it?"
Sabin Duvert
: yes - precisely! A familiar!
Sabin Duvert
: an intelligent animal that is bonded with the wizard's soul.
Sabin Duvert
: Something - I don't know how, but something has locked away my memories from my old life.
curseeviloctopi
: SIlver nods a bit "Reason I say that is, hmmm, dreams i've been having lately. Unlike yourself, its not that i have missing memorys. Instead, its like I have too many memories to fit into one life."
Sabin Duvert
: interesting! Interesting!
Sabin Duvert
: But the only memories I have had resurface I don't think were exactly my memories entirely - but shared ones - ones that I had while seeing through my familiar's eyes - your eyes, Silver
curseeviloctopi
: "I distinctly remember my life as Shina's guardian, and from what I can tell, that was my first life, but then mixed in with those memories are others, all from diffrent times, though one jogged my memory"
curseeviloctopi
: Silver holds out a hand, gesturing for Mordath to take it
Sabin Duvert
: *he nods, listening* It would be foolish to assume that this is the first reincarnation for all of us...
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath slowly takes Silver's hand*
curseeviloctopi
: Almost like a jerky move, a vision goes through Mordath's head, of a garden, with a lady, a Queen who resembles purr purr in a bower, though the view seems very low.
curseeviloctopi
: The point of view moves closer to the bower, and jerks, as if dropping suddenly, a scroll appearing, as if dropped, and then spins around, moving quickly away
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath gasps and blinks, recognizing it somehow, as Titania.... the view... Silver's...
Sabin Duvert
: That's it.... that makes it certain... *he smiles, things really seeming to be coming together*
Sabin Duvert
: Somehow... I think you might be able to help me - or put me on the right track to Remember... perhaps figure out who locked my memories away.
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods, and slips into dire wolf form, tilting his head at mordath, seeing if it sparks any more memories.
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath blinks - the figure so familiar. The shadows behind Mordath stir and two red eyes appear in it, Silver might recognize Tslanak's presence. It does not seem threatening - almost recognizing. The same expression in Mordath
Sabin Duvert
: 's eyes*
Sabin Duvert
: Yes.... it was like this....
Sabin Duvert
: I don't know how I know.... but it was...
Sabin Duvert
: *he reaches out and runs a hand through Silver's fur on the back of his neck*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver murrs lightly, leaning into the pet, eyes half closing, as if remembering something. Oddly enough, the dagger earring stays in this form, though the others go away.
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath cocks his head and looks at the earring, feeling the texture of Silver's fur, the feeling is familiar... but no memories jump*
Sabin Duvert
: can you remember... silver... near the end...? If you were my familiar it must have been near the end of your life as well...?
curseeviloctopi
: Silver closes his eyes, and thinks, then shakes his head 'Not at the moment, but i'm looking into something that might help. Have you ever heard of the Dream realm?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath's eyebrows raise* The dream realm...? I have heard of it in passing, yes... why?
curseeviloctopi
: "I, I'm researching a way to enter it conciously, for my own reasons. But, while i'm there, I could also enter my own dreams, and hunt down the information you desire."
Sabin Duvert
: hmm.... interesting. You might... perhaps, wish to Speak with my father...
curseeviloctopi
: Silver shifts back to his bipedal form, nodding "He might have some insights that I might not find otherwise"
Sabin Duvert
: *nods* He specializes in that - though I have honestly not spoken with him much on the subject
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods slightly "Is he home this night? Or is he out with Kamiki? They are having a child soon, are they not?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath nods* They are indeed... but he is here at the moment
curseeviloctopi
: "Shall we ask him about the subject post haste then?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath nods and rises, nodding for Silver to follow him, and then walks down the hall to Sabin's study, where he knocks softly on the door*
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin's voice raises from within* Come in~
curseeviloctopi
: Silver pads silently afterwards, instantly alert once they leave Mordath's room, as if looking out for an ambush
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin is sitting in an armchair, and sets down a thick book, leaning forward with a smile* Mordath, Silver~ how can I help you?
curseeviloctopi
: Silver looks over at mordath, and steps forward "Umm, sir, I had a question about some arcane knowledge that Mordath said that you might possess"
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin leans forward with his eyebrows raised* How can I help you?
curseeviloctopi
: Silver swallows a little "I, I'm looking on information about the Dream Realm, and about Dreamwalking."
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin's eyebrows raise more* Dreamwalking...? *he seems mildly surprised by the question* I know... something about it you might say... *he glances to Mordath momentarily* It is no easy think to move about in the Dreamworld...
Sabin Duvert
: It can drive a man mad if they are unprepared.. .or stay there long enough...
Sabin Duvert
: being in an empty space, yet crowded by people - a cacophany in silence... sounds everywhere - close and far - flashes of recognizable things, flashes of horrors...
curseeviloctopi
: Silver listens raptly, nodding, as if confirming something he had learned, but wasn't sure about
Sabin Duvert
: There are bubbles of .... the dreams of dreamers - where their consciousness touches near-dream and forms a reality around themselves.
Sabin Duvert
: and... if you're very adept, *he smirks* if you physically visit the dream realm , and it takes a lot of energy to maintain yourself there as it is not a realm of flesh and blood - then you can follow the connections from a>
Sabin Duvert
: dream bubble to the whereabouts of where the person sleeps..
Sabin Duvert
: *he waves his hand* But for most, dreamtravel merely involves detaching your consciousness from your own dreambubble and traveling around
Sabin Duvert
: "seeing" others dreams, and seeing the dreamrealm moreso than physically going there. It's less dangerous that way... but by no means safe...
curseeviloctopi
: "What part of life is every truely safe though?"
Sabin Duvert
: *he smirks a bit* this is true
Sabin Duvert
: Be careful, however... creatures dwell in the realm... both the automations created by the raw chaos... and real beings of dreammatter itself
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods, "Is there any way to combat these, hmmm, beings?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin winces*
Sabin Duvert
: Stay away from them is the best. In their own realm they are immensley powerful - they are made from the material of dream itself- mutable and chaotic. They are fierce and hunger for emotions - drawing energy from the fears of
Sabin Duvert
: mortals.
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath glances at Sabin during this, a small frown tugging at his lips*
Sabin Duvert
: they do not sleep - but travel from bubble to bubble to cause fear, feeding on it, only to move to another to do the same - shaping the dream to a nightmare. Some are hardly more intelligent than an animal, acting on instinct...
Sabin Duvert
: otheres.... others are much much more.
curseeviloctopi
: Silver tilts his head to one side and talks softly, almost as if to himself "The pack shaman mentioned that eaters of dreams wandered Wolf Time."
Sabin Duvert
: "Wolf time?" *Sabin's brows furrow*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver blinks, and shakes his head "How much of what i've been up to have you heard about?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin frowns and shakes his head* Honestly very little... David said that you have been fighting your demons in a matter of speaking...
curseeviloctopi
: Silver sighs "When i got close to being a teen, nature called. I ended up joining a wolf pack, and going feral. While there, I learned that wolves, when they die, don't have their souls pass on to an afterlife.
curseeviloctopi
: Instead they go to what they call Wolf Time, which is apparently a realm that the wolf shamans can reach through their dreams.
curseeviloctopi
: hence i think it is in the Dream Realm.
Sabin Duvert
: Interesting... perhaps a realm in Dream....
Sabin Duvert
: *nods* the land of Fey is also hidden deep in Dream...
curseeviloctopi
: Fey?
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath seems to perk at this, looking straight to Sabin*
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin smirks, leaning back* they Fairy realm.
Sabin Duvert
: ((the))
Sabin Duvert
: the land of the Sidhe, the small races, seelie and unseelie courts...
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods, looking over at Mordath quickly
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath is listening to Sabin raptly, he didn't ever think to ask or ponder where the Fey realm was. He just thought of it a ssomething that would just come when it did*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods a bit, plotting in his head. Maybe he could go to this Fey, and find something out for mordath.
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin leaned forward again* was there anything else you wanted to know..?
curseeviloctopi
: "Do, do you have have a book about the dream realms? Something I could study?"
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin winced, glancing at the bookshelf behind him* Well... I personally honestly never kept much in the ways of Spellbooks...
Sabin Duvert
: *his eyes lingered towards one book in particular, a thick black-bound book*
Sabin Duvert
: I have one. *Sabin seemed very very hesitant to even admit this*
Sabin Duvert
: But I doubt you could even read it *he waves his hand dismissively*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver tilts his head to one side "Why is that?"
Sabin Duvert
: it is written in the language of the creatures from Dream... the anju
Sabin Duvert
: *a bitter smirk crosses his face* Even wizards have failed at translating it
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods, and sighs "Your right, i wouldn't be able to understand that. Do you have any insight into where I could find a book that I could use?"
Sabin Duvert
: *he ponderes, thinking* well... where I was from originally there would have been very little if anything - this book being one of the few, and thus sought-after. However... here? Perhaps the great library... the one Mordath visit
Sabin Duvert
: ed?
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods "Thank you for you help Master Sabin"
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin nods* Let me know if you have any other questions... I have visited the Dreamrealm many times myself, and would say that I am probably one of the most knowledgable people you might meet on the subject
Sabin Duvert
: Though general questions are hard for me to answer specifically for that reason
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods "Thank you again. I just need to do some research, and find a way to get there."
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin nods* There... I might have a hard time helping you... my abilites are innate. I.... *he winces* I could probably -get- you there physically... but once again I would not reccomend it... and I would not be
Sabin Duvert
: able to -keep- you there for very long.
curseeviloctopi
: Silver nods "I shall have to go to the library some time, and do some research it seems Again, thank you for your help."
Sabin Duvert
: *Sabin nods* Of course - anything for one of Mordath's friends *he smiles warmly*
Sabin Duvert
: *mordath smiles to Silver* Thank you for the insight - and for confirming some of my suspicions...
Sabin Duvert
: Try to remember more if you can...? I think that this information will be vital to unlocking what I need to remember...
curseeviloctopi
: Silver smiles, and nods "It was nothing Mordath. It was a pleasure to help. I will try to remember more."
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath nods* Thank you, my friend
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath escorts Silver back to the door*
curseeviloctopi
: Silver follows lost in thought, leaving Mordath his number at Sati's house before getting on his harley "We should get together some time and just go out and have fun"
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath smiles, and tucks the number somewhere safe* We should
curseeviloctopi
: Silver grins "I should drag ya to a club sometime. You would enjoy some of the ones I know. Well, i got to get home. Thanks for having me over." He starts up the harley and takes off down the road
Sabin Duvert
: *Mordath waves and watches him ride off for a while before returning inside, and goes to his room to ponder what he learned*
