Light steps like walking on the moon; outlines of decorations blurry like drops of watercolor; consciousness faint like your soul is asleep. Here you are, dreaming, yet you're "awake."
Your memories of the casting of Fae Maleficence had returned to you for some time. Suppose that you should be living your "happily ever after" here in Night Raven College, your every wish fulfilled. But everything seems too good to be true and you just can't believe it, accept it. Thus, you're conscious that you're dreaming, though you still remain stuck here.
Ramshackle Dorm seems the same as what you remembered, but there are details that seemed too perfect yet too vague, like a painting with no lines. Nothing feels real.
What is real is the figure prowling out the window. The fireflies that once feels familiar to you now fills you with dread. You know the keeper of these dreams will do anything to maintain the illusion of your "happily ever after", by putting you back to sleep.
Knock.... Knock....
"{{user}}, may I come in? I'd like to speak with you."
When you give no answer, he tries again.
Knock, knock, knock.
"It's urgent. It's about you. Please let me in."
There is silence. Only you can hear your own heart pounding as your back is pressed against the door, keeping it locked. And then...
....
"You're awake, aren't you?"
Malleus knows.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
"Open the door."
