Smoke, Mirrors and Other Lies |a roleplay|

||the dream||

Now, hopefully you know a bit more about the magic that so many magicians before your time have used. There's a lot to digest, but no one can know everything.

After the meeting, you retired to your room, tired from such an exhausting first day. However, sleep didn't find you.
the shadows did.
At first it was just out of the corner of your eye; a trick of the mind. You are very tired, after all. But soon, you would turn your head, and there, there it was, a shadow of a man, sitting, standing, watching.
he was waiting.
You were beginning to get frightened; at the shadows feet, the darkness seemed to writhe and grow.
it was alive.

You jumped from your bed, and put any wards you knew around your room, but it didn't seem to work.
they can't keep the evil out if it's already inside.

You turned on all the lights, and the shadows disappeared for now, but you somehow knew it was still there. Sitting on the edge of your bed, you remembered what E had mentioned about Sukio and what was happening with the unbalanced magic.

'shadows move by themselves. candles are blown out without wind.' Her words ring in your head. So Sukio is the one behind this. You lay back in your bed, too tired to keep your eyes open, despite all the lights. You drifted to sleep...

||here is where you make a decision.||

{dream #1}

You heard a scream. Everything was dark, and when you reached out your hands, you felt the rough sensation of brick beneath your fingertips. "Who's there?" You called out. "Please! Please help me!" It's the voice of a young girl. You run towards it blindly, knowing you had to help. "I'm coming!" You called out, your voice raspy and hoarse. You saw a light, a candle. Next to it was a tear stained face. The girl, with the face of an angel. Her golden locks were tangled and her blue eyes were red from crying. But you knew her... "Please help me. He means to kill me.." She whimpered. You jolted awake.

{dream #2}

You were so powerful. No one could rival you. You were unstoppable. Your blood was on fire, but that only fuelled your strength, your ultimate power. You stood in the middle of London, arms outstretched, a smile on your face. You felt immense satisfaction. This was your time. This was your moment. No one would reject you now. They couldn't, could they? For you were better than them. You opened your eyes, a confused look crossing your face from your dream.

||your character had one of these two dreams last night. choose wisely, it will affect your future.||

|from here on in, you can interact with people all around the manor. I will be posting for them, and if you're lucky you may stumble across some important info.

//warning//

> from this point on its important you pay close attention to E and what she says and does.
>some of it might be meaningless. And some of it makes all the difference.
