She saw him there, in his dream, and her breath caught in her throat. Oh this is really happening this is happening... Okay, there was no time to think about that now. This was business.

"Aure, I'm sorry to bother you but...there's a creature, called Regalia. It looks like me, but its made of gas. It threatened me for information on the groups - threatened you and all the other leaders. I don't know what it means to do, but it's dangerous. I just wanted to warn you, in case...in case it comes for the Bonebound." It was a struggle just to get all of that out and there was no way she could keep going, so she simply bowed her head and the dream ended.

She jerked awake, realizing that there were tears flowing down her cheeks. She scrambled to her feet, shaking. What was she supposed to do now? She didn't know which way Regalia went and, even then, could she really...could she kill it? Her own child?

She remembered all the other times that she'd tried to save someone and failed, miserably. And the sinking feeling in her chest told her that, this time, just this time...she should stop. Stay out of it because she only ever made things worse. Her eyes closed tight as she forced herself to sit, waiting out the panic and fear rising in her throat and consuming her whole, but knowing that it was better for everyone if she didn't get involved anymore.
