Chapter Ten: The Sound of Splintering Glass The dream came on the third night after the Vault. Isabelle stood in a forest she did not know, beneath a sky that seethed with embered clouds. Trees stretched like blackened bones, their bark veined with red light. She could hear something behind her breathing , almost. The wind moved like ash through her hair. And then a voice, distant yet inside her: “He turned the key. You turned the flame. One must pay.”

Dorcus inquired softly, addressing McFarland yet again. Eliezer turned his eyes and his attentions towards her, her words breaking through his troubled thoughts and quiet considerations. 'Dear lady, your concern is ever touching. How he can stand to act so cold towards you, my heart will never know. But now let there be peace within us. For you and I, let there be peace even in war. Let peace remain always within us, never for want or lack of it, but you, o King, will bring us peace in our time, and all will be well for us.

The exhaustion from the day's troubles was too much for his hypoglycemic system. Jason fiddled away with the envelope which slipped off his quivering hands.

My memory becomes fuzzy after Reggie’s smile. I remember the room around us vibrating, pulsing almost, as though the air itself was a curtain behind which a child was rapping their knuckles. The music grew distant, nowhere near as overpowering as it had been, a faint melody carried across the waves.

However, the blooms reopen and Summer III conclude with the monsters meeting the sprites. An interlude in the middle of the session reverts the forest back into a stage. The audience stretches, eats, goes to the bathroom, etc. As the curtains close, I rush toward the kids. My complete satisfaction causes the class to beam.
