Event Log: Dreamwalker the Second

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Dreamwalker part 2 event
Where: In your dreams
When: October 14th-20th (the second log will go up on Oct 23rd, please keep the two weeks of the event separate!)
Warnings: All different kinds of dreams falling under the umbrella of Delight, Rage, Sorrow, and Hope.

This time, the weird stuff doesn't happen when you're awake- as a matter of fact, your waking hours are the normal ones. That's because you're forced to sleep by some unknown entity, getting more and more exhausted by the moment as night falls. Better make sure you're always around a soft pillow.

Once asleep, it doesn't get any less weird- your dreams will be influenced by one of the four gods that make up the first week. Something to make you smile, something to make you angry- or something that reminds you of your deepest regret or most vulnerable hope, they're all things that you're dreaming about now for some reason, no matter how hard you may try to pull away from them.

To make matters more complicated, there are others intruding on your dreams who definitely don't belong there, and while they may seem like manifestations at first, it becomes clear that these others are actually the consciousness of other members of Hadriel, getting some top quality exposure to your angriest, happiest, most sorrowful moments. Hope it doesn't get awkward when you see them tomorrow...

Fingon catches her easily, picking her up and spinning her around. He'd done the same thing for his blood kin once, his sister and his niece, before they'd vanished with his brother into the wilds, and it was so easy to fall back into the habit with this bright, kind girl.

"Hush, Sansa, all will be well," he reassures her. "What is wrong?"

The spin interrupts her despairing thoughts, helping her to breathe by making her gasp. Her muscles relax and she hugs him tighter, giving his cheek a quick kiss.

"...they know." she isn't making sense, so she amends that first statement with: "I've done...horrible things. My family knows. They are alive and they are judging me." her voice breaks, "I deserve it! But it's..."

Death might be easier, she thinks.

Sansa looks so terribly distressed that Fingon's heart breaks a little for her even as he keeps her close.

"I find it hard to believe you could have done something so terrible that your family would never forgive you for it. Take it from me, Sansa, family forgives much when it comes to people they love."

And a family who raised a girl like Sansa, sweet and kind and resilient as she is, would not abandon her so easily no matter her mistakes. Fingon is sure of that.

"I betrayed them. I thought I was...making amends. I thought I was solving the rift between my family and the family of my betrothed." her voice is quiet and unsteady, "My actions led to my father's execution and the deaths of my brother and mother."

She will never speak of how she had stopped eating after those tragedies. She will never speak of how she had been nearly unable to move after being beaten before Joffrey and his court. Not to her family. Her scars are nothing next to their deaths.

Fingon is quiet for a moment, studying her carefully. "The family of your betrothed, you say? They ordered your family's deaths?" He leans down slightly to look her in the eye.

"Then it sounds to me as though the one betrayed was you. Trust is a precious thing to be given, and they misused yours badly."
