00:00:00Close me! Sleeping! Dream! Dreaming!
00:00:20That voice... It's haunting... Insane...
00:00:26So this is the source of that wretched squawking? I'll tear out her throat and silence her if I could. Just ask.
00:00:36There is something about her... Beneath the mask she is wearing is a face I feel I have seen many times before, but...
00:00:44Ah, another lucky one! Lucky to no sleep, to no dreams! My gift to you, eternal slumber! Yes, and you might dream too, you might!
00:01:02Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

00:02:02music
00:02:24I can do this
00:02:27My son
00:02:32No
00:02:36Of course
00:02:40By the hell
00:02:47Bon Appetit
00:02:48Hello
00:02:55Hello
00:02:58Hello
00:03:01Hello
00:03:14Enough
00:03:16This blood of mine you've spilt has loosened insanity's grip on me
00:03:21For now
00:03:23I do not wish to die
00:03:25Though it would bring an end to the punishment I've endured for my crimes
00:03:29My crimes
00:03:36I violated the sisterhood
00:03:38Broke the sacred laws of Karganas
00:03:41I took a man as my lover
00:03:43And I loved him
00:03:46Oh how I loved him
00:03:50I kept this love hidden
00:03:52Told my sisters I was just toying with him
00:03:55Just toying a little longer
00:03:57But I let him escape
00:03:59And fooled my sisters with the desiccated corpse of some other man
00:04:04They remained ignorant of my terrible crime
00:04:08Until I birthed the product of our love
00:04:10Then they found my beloved
00:04:13And made me devour him alive
00:04:16In front of his son
00:04:19Even as they forced chunks of his flesh down my throat
00:04:23He smiled at me
00:04:25At our child
00:04:27So beautiful like his father was my son Gariab
00:04:32You
00:04:34You are my mother
00:04:35Soon my son has returned
00:04:38And he has brought violence against me
00:04:42Will you murder your mother?
00:04:45Is this the homecoming you have sought?
00:04:48You abandoned me
00:04:50Cast me to the wilds of Roshanen
00:04:53Abandoned
00:04:55Implies I had a choice in the matter my child
00:04:59I had but one choice
00:05:01And that was to love your father
00:05:03What does a hag such as you know of love?
00:05:06More than you I think child
00:05:09Have you not drifted from creature to creature
00:05:12Spirit to spirit
00:05:14Finding no dream that has touched you?
00:05:17You know what I speak of is true Gariab
00:05:21Garn of dreams
00:05:23Spirit of Roshanen
00:05:25Do not waste one short time we have together
00:05:27With protests and accusations
00:05:29You speak as if your words alone
00:05:31You speak as if your words are truth
00:05:34But you know nothing of me of my life
00:05:38I know you have dreamed of the city beneath the waves
00:05:42And your travels have circled it all your life
00:05:45Until now
00:05:47Until the time has come to destroy it
00:05:51It was ordained we speak this one last time
00:05:55My dear Garn
00:05:57It is the one hope that has cradled me in this prison
00:06:02You
00:06:04You are a creature of lies
00:06:06Spawned from lies
00:06:08And you my beautiful child
00:06:11Are far more terrible
00:06:13To be spawned from the love of a hag
00:06:16By such things are cities and nations laid to ruins
00:06:20Do you wish to see the proof of my claims?
00:06:28She had her chance long ago
00:06:29I care nothing for what she has to say
00:06:32My answer is that we end this
00:06:34Now
00:06:36I will not fight you
00:06:38Do what you must
00:06:46The voices echo through my mind
00:06:49And the insanity would soon reclaim me
00:06:52Take from me my eye
00:06:54I will need it no longer
00:06:55Use it in your travels
00:06:57Use it against the coven
00:07:00Now leave me
00:07:02The escape you seek is ahead
00:07:04I do not know how much longer I can maintain my sanity
00:07:08The voices in my mind are a cacophony
00:07:12Then hear my voice this last time mother
00:07:15Where I walk
00:07:17You shall be with me until the end days
00:07:19We shall be together again
00:07:22My son
00:07:23My son
00:07:25My precious son
00:07:27Can he, does he
00:07:29Dream of me?
00:07:31My son
00:07:54Bonaparte
00:07:56Yes
00:08:00By the hells!
00:08:06Yes
00:08:12Follow me, now

00:13:32Yes
00:13:33Yes
00:13:34Yes
00:13:35Gokash is gone, and I feel... loss. All that time wasted, in judging her for something
00:13:48she had not done. She did the exact opposite of what I had believed all my life. Felt the
00:13:54exact opposite. She loved me, and loved my father.
00:14:00How much of such dreams and hopes are left unsaid between others? And how many could
00:14:07be saved, or healed by such knowledge? If I am ever to love, I will speak of it. This
00:14:13is my promise, the first vow I have ever made. And if I am loved in return, then it shall
00:14:20only be the first vow of many.
00:14:59All I ever asked was that I should be loved.
00:15:05All that I asked was that I should be loved.
00:15:09All that I asked was that I should be loved.
00:15:17I've reached her!
00:15:29You
00:15:59You
00:16:29I
00:16:59I
00:17:29I
00:17:59Yeah
00:18:29You
00:18:43You
00:18:57You
00:18:59You
00:19:25You
00:19:29You
00:19:59You
00:20:29You
00:20:59You
00:21:29You
00:21:31You
00:21:33You
00:21:57That black portal before us
00:22:00It is not something native to our world or even the realm of dreams it began here
00:22:05I stood at the betrayer's side at my brother's side
00:22:10They were gathered around us
00:22:12Celestials dragons mortals both alive and dead did the room expand to hold such a host or is my memory too small I
00:22:24Was not always a red wizard the last time I laid eyes on that door
00:22:29I was nothing but a younger brother the shadow of a better and wiser man
00:22:34We stand before the betrayer's gate a door. It should not be
00:22:39Rest your eyes upon its edges and its grooves
00:22:42Watch them carefully
00:22:44And you can sense the wrongness
00:22:46Death and life flow together in that simple slab of rock
00:22:50Pass through it
00:22:52And you will see the place of final judgment
00:22:54Yes, my brother's generals await his return as he commanded them. They wait in vain. My brother cannot return. He is gone.
00:23:13Yes, the gray city and its walls screaming souls
00:23:18Passage to that forlorn realm is granted only by death
00:23:21But this gate provides another way a forbidden way a way that my brother opened with a silver blade I
00:23:30Swear to you if I could take it back if I could make him see
00:23:38Sophia
00:23:40No
00:23:41Wait, it only seems to be her
00:23:44so close
00:23:46so
00:23:47You make him see ahriman you flitting shadow you were nothing but a leaf born by a great storm
00:23:57Ahriman why do you hunt me?
00:23:59You would destroy everything your brother strove for render his sacrifice meaningless not to destroy
00:24:06to set things right
00:24:08How could I choose my brother over my god?
00:24:11Yes, I was a feeble flitting thing when I passed through that door
00:24:14I was born by my brother's storm
00:24:17But I learned from his folly. He said mortal love above the gods. So he paid the price and
00:24:25We paid with him you and I
00:24:29Be cautious. I think choosing one over the other will lead to bloodshed in this dream
00:24:38No, he wouldn't
00:24:40What my brother desired how can that matter my brother wanted to uproot the plains and tear down the gods from on high
00:24:49Suffering cannot be avoided. It can be minimized. Yes, but the universe cannot be torn asunder for the sake of one soul
00:25:11You
00:25:23Love may care for itself in its own way ideal or not
00:25:27But anything that makes pretender gods fume and rant warms my heart
00:25:32spoken like the betrayer himself
00:25:35Always selfish always believing that his dreams were grander that his loves were stronger and not to be denied
00:25:43And she is selfish too. She sows suffering in love's name
00:25:49But the heavens fall and roast in the pits of hell if love was served by such as this
00:25:56She would care not
00:26:04Ah
00:26:34Oh
00:27:04Oh
00:27:34Fail
00:28:04You
00:28:27Yeah
00:28:34You
00:28:56Let me have a green
00:29:04You
00:29:34You
00:30:04You
00:30:34You
00:31:04You
00:31:34You

00:49:04You
00:49:34You
00:50:04You
00:50:34You
00:50:45And how may I honor you
00:51:04You
00:51:34You
00:51:36You
00:51:38You
00:51:40You
00:52:02The man you knew as bishop lies encased in a quivering greenish mold
00:52:07His limbs are twisted at odd angles as if they are broken
00:52:10His face frozen in a grimace of pain barely clears the surface of the wall
00:52:16Like the face of a drowning man gasping for air
00:52:19His eyes meet yours and you realize that all the color has drained from his hair and his flesh
00:52:26One of his eyes is completely white and bulging
00:52:34What this wall I knew where I was going when I died
00:52:39Oblivion is a finer bedfellow than most
00:52:42Though in a cold night with a roaring campfire and no words. I
00:52:48Might allow for one or two exceptions. Who is this one? He speaks as if he knows you
00:52:54Hmm. Have you assembled a new circus of capering beasts does the pretty hag spawn sing for his supper or does he dance as well?
00:53:09Was it the screaming souls that gave it away or the putrid stinking mold
00:53:14Oh, is it poor godless Bishop trust up like a weak dead hair in a pile of rot
00:53:21Once the wall shuttles convulses
00:53:25Twisted figures trapped within cry out as one as the entire wall shifts
00:53:30Lungs shudder bones crack and the greenish mold expands covering faces eyes and mouth
00:53:37The smirk leaves Bishop's face replaced for one naked moment
00:53:45Can you hear it in the screams underneath the screams
00:54:07The paladin of the devil girl to forget and be forgotten that's paradise
00:54:14It's getting there. That's the hard part
00:54:16But I don't fight like these others
00:54:20They're infected with hope waiting for the crusade to return
00:54:25Oh
00:54:32Bishops one good eye loses focus. It seems to look through you beyond you
00:54:37The screams and cries of the other souls become quieter as if they are suddenly listening to his words
00:54:44You'd ended here
00:54:46this wall
00:54:48It hungers it drains everything away
00:54:51For
00:54:54A moment bishop's eyes seems to clear he looks at you
00:54:59Takes in your face as if for the first time
00:55:02You I saw you here. I saw you in the wall
00:55:10No, it was someone else
00:55:14You're a mask nothing but a mask
00:55:18The wall shows again and you hear a sickening crack as bishop is drawn further back into the wall
00:55:24Green mold rushes in to cover his face and bursts forth from his mouth in a noxious plume
00:55:31I see you
00:55:32the god of the dead
00:55:34They're coming
00:55:36Again, the god of the dead
00:55:38There is some game being played here
00:55:40with ancient rules
00:55:42They're coming
00:55:47So
00:56:00No
00:56:17Yeah
00:56:26By my direction
00:56:35Yeah
00:56:48So
00:56:50Yeah
00:57:15It may be my instinct speaking falsely
00:57:18But I think it may benefit us to examine the section of wall your friend used to be
00:57:25The noxious green mold has closed over bishop's face and head
00:57:30One of his hands still protrudes from the wall contorted around an object that lies half buried in the mold
00:57:39You dig into the mold around bishop's hand the surface is soft feathery like moss
00:57:45But underneath it becomes firm with hidden barbed edges capable of tearing flesh or holding it fast
00:57:52At last the object comes free. It is a piece of a mask pale and maggot gray
00:57:58It drinks in the light as if hungering but reflects none
00:58:02a third mask fragment to join the other two
00:58:05curious
00:58:07So
00:58:13Bishop has been almost completely absorbed into the wall only a faint outline of his body remains
00:58:19Buried beneath a feathery blanket of mold
00:58:22I think there is little here left for us
00:58:25We should return to the chamber of dreamers
00:58:37So
00:59:07Hello
00:59:38So
00:59:52Hmm

01:07:43Hmm
01:07:49So
01:08:07Hmm
01:08:19So
01:08:21So
01:08:44A change has come over the chamber of dreamers
01:08:47The hideous forms of the coven are solid now and whispers fill the room
01:08:52Hundreds of whispers resolving themselves slowly into a single voice which prickles like a swarm of ants inside your skull
01:09:01speak
01:09:04You are the slumbering coven the ones who have slept beneath roshamon
01:09:09Yes
01:09:11The slayers of my father
01:09:13The warden of my mother and the ones who punished her never to sleep never to dream yes
01:09:22Why she did not attack you she did not she broke our law spawn
01:09:30The one you travel with he is the product of such broken laws as are you
01:09:35Transgressions must be punished or they are repeated
01:09:40I agree
01:09:41And that is why we are here to punish you no
01:09:44Not unless you want this place to unravel around you to see all dreams all the chambers of this city flooded and gone
01:09:53To do so would kill you as well and much farther do we think you have to travel
01:10:05My father what did you do to him dead and gone by our law
01:10:12As our mother gave into her appetites so was she forced to devour her own mate
01:10:18in the manner of all hands piece by piece leaving just enough alive to scream
01:10:26By your law you say
01:10:28Then all I wish is that the same justice be brought upon you
01:10:32And that you feel itself same mercy
01:10:35You have questions spirit eater
01:10:38ask them
01:10:41I
01:10:46Weaving together the strands of our dreams
01:10:49The longer we sleep the stronger our web and we take dreams from other minds adding them to our own
01:10:58From the dreams of mortals we salvage much
01:11:02Visions and hopes and memories we take these things and gather them here before mortal minds can forget them
01:11:11You
01:11:13Yes
01:11:15Mortals are stupid forgetful things
01:11:18We walk in their dreams and we take what they will only lose
01:11:27We showed you nothing you showed us and we drank deep
01:11:31Such was the price of your passage and of the words we speak to you now
01:11:42You
01:11:44Yes, the white twin and the red
01:11:49The white twin was liana the red twin was nefris
01:11:59The pretty one her dreams are scattered nauseating to look upon she knows not what she is
01:12:07But yes the one she calls mother beseeched our advice and offered her dreams portrayed
01:12:18They were sisters of a sort and they were more than two
01:12:25They sought to end your affliction your hunger to spare you from this suffering
01:12:30You
01:12:32The whispers seem to draw back from your mind separating themselves into many different voices
01:12:38For a few moments they echo back and forth across the chamber as if conspiring amongst themselves
01:12:45Then abruptly they resolve again into one
01:12:49We are creatures of dreams not words telling is cumbersome
01:12:54We will show you what you wish to know
01:13:01You
01:13:03Out of thin air step two women one garbed in white the other in red
01:13:08You realize at once that you are seeing a dream a memory something that occurred here in the past
01:13:15See us hags of the coven and know us for what we are
01:13:21We beseech your wisdom and their gifts of dreams to trade dreams of a sort even you have never seen
01:13:31We have heard tales of you in the dreams of the living and reflected in the dying minds of those who perished in our saint
01:13:43Your dreams are a treasure unique in our horde like worlds seen through different facets the same ancient stone
01:13:54Your question resounds across the infinity of your dreams but in this place
01:14:00You must ask it aloud speak
01:14:05We
01:14:06We would know how to end the affliction
01:14:09The curse that the rashemi called the spirit eater
01:14:13We have searched so long sisters of the coven we
01:14:18Tell us how to end the hunger how can the eater of souls be granted peace
01:14:23Is
01:14:26Even in the dream the whispering of the hag seems to pause growing quiet for a long moment as if in reverence
01:14:33or uncertainty
01:14:35then
01:14:36That affliction is a punishment
01:14:38Meet it out by one who once reigned as god of the dead. He alone knows its beginnings and he alone might bring about it
01:14:48You speak of merkel
01:14:50But but he is dead
01:14:54We seek an answer not a riddle that god of the dead has passed beyond thought or dream
01:15:00He has been slain and his throne usurped. His knowledge is lost
01:15:06Not lost
01:15:08Merkel is a corpse, but his thoughts and dreams remain marooned now inside the rotting hulk of his mind
01:15:15He dreams endlessly of old enemies come to grief and ancient slights avenged
01:15:24As long as he is remembered and feared by mortals
01:15:27Even if they are pitiful and few his dreaming will persist and his mind shall endure
01:15:35Then we must speak to a dead god
01:15:41It can be done
01:15:44That is all we would know sisters of the coven thank you
01:15:49You
01:15:51Then this curse
01:15:52Is the result of one of your gods?
01:15:55How many gods of the dead do you people have your people?
01:15:59The gods of the dead watch you gang of dreams all their laws all their punishments will fall on you as well
01:16:08And if you do not believe in them then one of their harshest laws shall be inflicted upon you
01:16:13To lie within the wall of the faithless until you dissolve as a fading dream
01:16:19So keep your defiance if you must but it will not last when death comes for you
01:16:31That is a question we cannot answer
01:16:34The red twin has returned today to her academy
01:16:38a horror of endless voids and fractured souls
01:16:41We are blind to all that passes there
01:16:44A
01:16:46White twin liana kept portals in her secret room in the shadow of her theater
01:16:53One of them is open only to those who know where it leads
01:16:58Big passage from her keeper of doors and he will open the way
01:17:03beyond that portal lies the academy and
01:17:07your answers
01:17:10But we care not what you do spirit eater we have spoken enough you have troubled our dream too long
01:17:27Speak then spirit eater, but do not expect us to receive you ever again
01:17:33You
01:17:38You see them in your mind's eye but their dreams if they live are far beyond our grasp
01:17:46The wilds of the witchwill the merchant kingdoms to the west and they to the south in these places our dreams wander free
01:17:54And our eyes rove even farther
01:17:58But not that far
01:18:00Not yet
01:18:03Still we sense one of them he is close
01:18:08But he is shattered ruined severed his dreams come only in flashes and they are strangely
01:18:15hidden from our sight
01:18:22No another
01:18:24The one you call bishop is dead
01:18:28dissolving in the wall
01:18:30Or do you not believe your dreams?
01:18:38Sword and shard are tied to you and to the others who have also borne the blade
01:18:43The sword of gith is not separated so easily from its wielder's hand
01:18:49The shard of gith what are they speaking about?
01:18:52Shard and sword have been rejoined reunited with all their pieces
01:18:57The blade was taken from you for this purpose and it awaits you reforged in a hidden sanctum now besieged
01:19:09Other masks yes many masks we walked in their dreams just as we have walked in yours
01:19:16Their faces were as varied as the mortals who infest the witch realm
01:19:20Some prettier than yours. Oh, yes, and some fowler all ended the same
01:19:32In hunger starving ravenous thoughts minds dreams all drained away and forever lost
01:19:40Thoughts minds dreams all drained away and forever lost
01:19:47You are utterly unlike a spirit eater we hoard collect preserve to us dreams are things to be treasured
01:19:56torn from those who do not know their
01:20:00But you devour and destroy leaving nothing in your wake
01:20:10I say we bring their dreaming to an end show them the pain of the waking world
01:20:22If you end our dream all that it contains is lost
01:20:26imagine
01:20:28the dreams of a thousand thousand souls the knowledge of wizards and keyed centuries dead the hopes and loves of men and
01:20:37women and beasts
01:20:39all contained within our
01:20:41unending dream
01:20:45Such a trove as has never been assembled here or anywhere across the plains this you would destroy for your own selfish whim
01:21:09So
01:21:16You spare nothing you save nothing the dreams of the dead are only given voice through the coven and only to do harm to others
01:21:25Then leave us spirit eater
01:21:27We have drunk of your dreams and you have died on our wisdom
01:21:32Make what you will of it. We do not believe this knowledge will avail you much
01:21:40You will succumb to your hunger as so many have before you and peace will come to our dreams again
01:21:48At once the whispers fade retreating into the shadows like a horde of skittering ants
01:21:53With them the dream itself flickers and dissolves away
01:21:57Yes
01:22:10Yes
01:22:13I am wondering about this
01:22:15wall of the faithless
01:22:17I know your curse to be true
01:22:19If it has been spawned by one of your gods, then this wall of the faithless may be true as well
01:22:27And its existence is a difficult thing for me to accept
01:22:30To simply believe in the gods in your gods. It is punishment of a different sort
01:22:36I need more time to think about this
01:22:39But if you fight this curse, then I may not be able to stand by you. I need to make peace with spirits of my own
01:22:57So
01:23:27Hmm
01:23:54I am certain
01:23:57So
01:24:27So
