Re: [Cepheus]
As you swallow the memory berry, you feel something in your stomach clench and your mind seems to fray at the edges for a split second as you experience the memory unfolding in your consciousness.
You see it almost the same time it sees you. It was hard to tell it, the regal violet fur in the middle of the man-sized, purple flowers of the Tenzen fields. As industrialized as the Cepheus lands could be, out by Orion's edge, the fields became verdant... and wild. The horned wolf stares at you, level, appraising.
You hold your breath, meeting its gaze and counting the seconds. "One isn't done, two y'aint through, three is just right and four is a fight." You recite in your head, counting. At three, you step back, bowing deeply. You hear the great beast huff, it's muzzle touching your neck...
And fall to your knees in relief as you hear it turn, pacing away.
As you return, the memory settles, interlaced with the rest of your recovered life, as if that was just another part of the world and people you left behind. It's hard to shake any of the conviction that it was real and it had happened to you, any more than you would a normal memory.
