Entering the Dream 000

Neyeeva and Eveela met the older druid Cenias a short distance from the Stormrage Barrow Dens.


"Ishnu'Alah, Falore Riversong." Cenias said before waving in greetings to Neyeeva.
Cenias then bowed before her, in the common gesture of greeting between the brothers and sisters of the ways of Cenarius. "I trust the two of you have completed any neccisary preparations."

Neyeeva did not acknowledge any of Cenias's actions. They had been preparing for this all the past week. Discussing everything that was to happen, taking the necessary steps to ensure it would. If the troubled, violent, malicious druid was to be cleansed, to be redeemed, this was their only option. Should they not be successful, Eveela would be eliminated by the Circle, removing her taint in the most ultimate way, her death. Neyeeva had spent the past week bonding with Eveela, to be her guide throught the psuedo Dream. They had shared their intimate pasts, learned to trust one another. Before, they were enemies, now, they shared a bond that had helped them to overcome their strong dislikes for each other. Neyeeva looked up to the younger druid, Eveela, perched atop her talbuk. Neyeeva spoke softly to her in almost a whisper, "Eveela, are you ready?"

Eveela did not respond.

Cenias turned then, motioning the two druids to follow. Both Eveela and Neyeeva followed silently as they approached the dens. Each seemed to be lost in their own thoughts. Before entering the den, Neyeeva paused momentarily to take a deep breath, steadying her nerves. They moved on into the Den.

As they walked deeper into den, Cenias explained, "This area will act as a conduit while we submerge the two of you into an artificially created nightmare of Eveelas mind..."

Eveela muttered something under her breath, the others not hearing it.

Cenias stepped into an empty barrow then moved to allow the two females within the small space. It seemed only the three of them could fit comfortably within. Neyeeva looked about the barrow before settling her gaze upon the troubled Eveela. Cenias turned slowly from facing out the barrow to look at them, the undergound waterfalls just outside the barrow
entrance, thundering peacefully. Neyeeva turned her attention to Cenias, the druid she had met and come to view as a teacher. Eveela only straightened up, never showing any emotion. Cenias continued with his explanation.

"I will be watching over the two of you while you slumber... Here is the mixture to initiate the dream." He said as he reached into a small leather satchel and produced two vials. He handed one to Neyeeva, the other to Eveela.

Neyeeva took the vial, remembering what the druid Xaneria had explained about its contents when the plans were dicussed. Xaneria had been instructing Cenias about the via'ls' contents.

Xaneria says: Only allow them as much as each vial contains... it is enough to slumber them, but you will have to watch over them closely should something go wrong.
Cenias... their dream will be as the emerald dream so their physical bodies can take damage, and if they die... they will never wake... from within the dream... however... unlike the Dream... the sleep is easily broken should something go wrong. Each vial contains enough to induce sleep 3 times. You have little room for mistakes, and I warn you, waking them may still put them in shock. This must be done delicately. If something should arrive and you need me... for your sake or Neyeeva's, call upon me, otherwise... the rest is up to you.

Cenias continued to explain, "I will remain guarding... the rest is up to you..."

Neyeeva nodded to Cenias understanding his meaning. She looked back to Eveela who popped the top of the vial off, sniffed its contents as she walked over to the far wall, sitting down.

Neyeeva walked over to Eveela and knelt before her, looking deeply into the other's eyes. "Are you ready Eveela?" she asked in a grim, sincere tone.

Eveela responed with no concern or feeling, no fear or doubts, nodding to Neyeeva, "Yup."

Neyeeva nodded back to the young druid, speaking in determination, "Drink then and I will follow."

Eveela paused momentarily, something she was not known for, then put the vial to her mouth, pausing for a moment again, before drinking it quickly. Neyeeva took her own vial putting it to her lips, then drinking it. Eveela fell asleep instantly as Neyeeva succombed to the potion as well, falling asleep beside Eveela.
