Who: Reika and Morpheus
When: Tonight
What: Getting to knooooow yoooou!
Where: The Dreaming



Reika had found that the hardest part of being mortal again was trying to fall asleep. After living in dreams for so long, after being imprisoned there, accepting her fate to dream forever, it was hard to accept the fact that she would wake up every morning. This was only her third time laying down in bed to sleep since she'd come back, and it hadn't gotten any easier.

She lay on her back and stared at the ceiling for some time before she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer. As she tumbled into sleep, she found herself still resisting its pull, its thick webs tangled around her.

And just as she had feared, she was back in that place. On the ground again, her upper body bare, watching as a fuzzy blue light edged toward the center of her vision. She struggled, tried to get up, but her hands...her hands and her feet, they were still staked to the ground. She was paralyzed. She could never save him, no matter how many times she saw it.
