Just like in the dream. Then, she remembered the text. The Oneiric is the natural predator of the Void-Walker. A fully realized Sleeper can dream a god out of existence. She looked at the monster. It was made of hunger. It was made of emptiness. But she was the Queen of Dreams. And in a dream, she controlled the monsters. The fear in her chest shifted. It hardened.

he asked looking directly into my eyes. “I guess it’s a mystery we will never be able to solve?” I replied. If I could read his mind, I’m sure he would be like just tell me this your name so I could drop all this problem on your head.

"You’re not here to protect the family interests, Dante. You’re here because you can’t stand the idea of me having a single moment you don't control. You’re so obsessed with your 'standards' that you’ve forgotten how to be a human being." "We are married on paper," he says coldly. "Don't mistake my presence for anything else." The words land like a slap, but I don't back down. I cross my arms, refusing to move another inch. "Then go back to the villa. Go back to your spreadsheets and your 'real' world. I’d rather be alone with the 'captive reptiles' than spend another second listening to your miserable bullshit." He stares at me, his jaw tightening as the silence stretches between us.

“If I knew, I would fix it. I can’t stop getting enough blood. I feel like a bus ran over me. Literally, I feel like I was hit by a bus. Those dreams were so real, so powerful, and I can’t shake them, Alex. I never, ever, have had anything feel like this before. I woke up a pool of sweat and took a shower once already. I feel like a wreck, and all I can do is think about Amber.” “Wow, Dom, that is crazy. I didn’t realize that. I don’t think I have ever heard you say anything about dreaming before.” “No, I hadn’t.

I am okay” his mind raced with worry. The dream felt too real to be just another dream. It felt more like a vision.

Her eyes—when they opened—flickered like dying lanterns. “I won’t last much longer,” Long whispered. Emma scrambled to her side, kneeling. “Don’t say that. I will think of something, just wait," She replied desperately. Long smiled faintly. “Even dragons die, Emma. Even gods burn out.
