The last few days have been rather interesting.
Will and I went to the campus bookstore on Friday to get our books early, but we didn't actually get them, because Will got into a fight with another student who was rather rude to me. I could have handled it myself, but I was rather taken aback by the situation so Will jumped in.
It reminded me of Will in the dreams. He has a tendency to jump headlong into fights without thinking about his own well being.
Speaking of my dreams, they had been coming rather regularly lately. I showed Tessa my favorite place, which in the dreams is Blackfriars Bridge. I also explained my condition to her after I collapsed when we got back to the Institute after being attacked by automatons. The next day, we were tricked by Mortmain, who we thought was on our side, but was actually the person controlling the clockwork creatures. Believing that de Quincy was the person we were after, Charlotte and Henry went to kill him while Mortmain came to tell Will and I that the Dark sister was helping the Magister and told us where to find her, but it was all the trick. We got back to the Institute to find it under attack and one the Mundanes who worked for us was killed and we found out that Tessa's brother was actually working for Mortmain.
Before we realized it was all a trick, Will and I found a cat in a cage in the Dark sister's house, which she was using to experiment on and ironically, it was my cat Church. The cat that I have in the waking world. I brought him back with me to the Institute because I wasn't going to leave him there.
It's interesting dreaming about eighteen hundreds while living in the twenty first century. Everything was so different then.
When I woke up the other morning, I found my Stele on my nightstand, which is the wand like tool we use to apply Runes to our bodies. Then this morning I found my cane leaning up against the side of my bed. It's rather beautiful. It has a jade dragon head and it came in quite handy in the dreams in case I needed it for support if I made myself too ill while fighting. It also has a blade hidden inside it. I'm looking forward to learning to fight with it.
