Old Guilts

[Casey]

Casey waited patiently as one of the boys went off to find Nox. She wondered what kind of person he was. Seemed like he was always willing to help. It was good to know, it it was something she certainly didn’t want to abuse. Nox arrived rather quickly and sat backwards on a chair nearby, seemingly relaxed.

”Yeah, weird stuff,” she said, noting the wink to Juls. Seemed like Nox had a sense of humor. That was good and relaxing at least. ”Weird dreams to be specific. I have these dreams and they’re just…strange. Nothing has really happened in them. I’m just there. Light seems to come from nowhere and everywhere, and it’s so eerily quiet. People sometimes are there. They appear for a second or two and then gone. My clothes shift a lot. But the weirdest thing. They seem so real. Not even like lucid dreaming. More real than that. I…I know it’s hard to explain, but I just feel like they’re different I don’t know.” she looked towards Juls. ”Jules said you know someone who deals with something similar, but she’s not around right now. I’d like to maybe meet her when I can. If you know more or someone else who could help possibly too, that would be great. To be honest - even though they’re not nightmares…they scare me a little. I just want to know what’s going on.”

Thalia was a dreamer. But she didn't actually know anything more. "I can get you in touch with Thalia when she returns to Moscow. But she doesn't really know anymore than you do about it all. She sketches what she remembers, but it's not a lot. I know there are other that walk in the dreams though. They don't share your gifts in the same sense. But Elyse might be able to help. That flickering bit sounds like an inability with controling the dream and Elyse and her people can help teach you a bit. But their gift comes from something totally different."

Nox pulled out his phone and checked out Elyse's schedule. "She'll be here later, if you can stick around. And if she can't help you she's got some more experienced friends who might have an idea of how to help. But again different abilities, but the control thing should be the same."

Nox fired off a text to Elyse.

Have a possible dream walker here. She's looking for help. You think you might give her some pointers?

He smiled at Casey. "We'll see what Elyse is up to and when Thal gets back I can introduce you. I'm sure Thal would love some understanding from someone going through the same thing. She's also like you in that whole I can channel bit. Though she's not exactly sure on that either, but she's done it enough to be registered." It was by her sister and not herself, but still the Atharim knew about her, and so did the Ascendancy.
